Precalculus Practice

In American mathematics education, pre calculus, (or Algebra 3 in some areas) an advanced form of secondary school algebra, is a foundational mathematical discipline. It is also called Introduction to Analysis. In many schools, precalculus is actually two separate courses: Algebra and Trigonometry. Precalculus does not prepare students for calculus as pre-algebra prepares students for Algebra I. (Source: Wikipedia)

Example problemsfor precalculus practice

Precalculus practice problem 1:
 Find the roots for the given quadratic equation 3x² + 11x + 10.
Solution:
Given 3x² + 11x + 10
Factorize the given equation, we get
3x² + 11x + 10 = 3x² + 6x + 5x + 10
                       = 3x (x + 2) + 5 (x + 2)
                       = (3x + 5) (x + 2)
Equating the equation to zero, we get
   (3x + 5) (x + 2) = 0.
3x + 5 = 0, x + 2 = 0.
x = (- 5 / 3), x = - 2.
After solving, we get
The roots are (- 5 / 3), - 2.
Answer:
The roots are x = (- 5 / 3) and x = - 2.

Precalculus practice problem 2:
Solve the given factorial (`(6!) / (4!)`).
Solution:
 Given (`(6!) / (4!)`)
Formula: 
n! = n (n - 1) (n - 2).... .1.
(`(6!) / (4!)`) = `(6!) / (4!)`
6! = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3* 2 *1
    = 720.
4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
    = 24
Therefore, we get
`(6!) / (4!)` = `(720) / (24)`
After solving, we get
       = 30
Answer:
The final answer `(6!) / (4!)` = 30

Precalculus practice problem 3:
Find the slope and equation of the straight line, it passes through the points (0,4) and (4, 6).
Solution:
Given points are (0,6) and (4, 10)
Here, x₁ = 0, x₂ = 4, y₁ = 6, and y₂ = 10

Formula for finding slope:
           Slope (m) = `(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)`
Substitute the given values in the above formula, we get
                          = `(10 - 6) / (4 - 0)`
                     m  = 1
Formula for line equation:
                   (y - y₁) = m (x - x₁)
Substitute the given values, we get
                   y - 6 = 1 ( x - 4)
                   y - 6 = x - 4
Add 6 on both the sides, we get
                         y = x + 2
Answer:
  Slope of the equation is (m) = 1
  Line equation is y = x + 2

Roster Method in Math

Roster Method in Math:

The roster method in math is  called as tabular method. In roster method a set{} which denotes the set of data’s and by listing all the elements of the set, that elements will be separated by commas  like {1,2,5} A set containing 8,4,6,3,11,8 is Written as {8,4,6,3,11,8} in Roster method.

The two methods of the notation sets which can be given as follows,

Roster method
Builder method
Let us see about the roster method of math as given below.


Roster Method in Math:


The roster method of math is the list or diagram of the ordered elements, when the rule is the equivalent form which will be using the selection of elements from a domain matching a rule.


The Roster method is one of two ways of representing that the elements of a set using brackets, {}.For example, all even numbers under 14 would be represented as : {2,4,6,8,10,12}.


The roster method is often associated with 'roster and rule' this is a way of finding a rule that the elements of a set follow. Sets can be generally comprise any list of items or numbered lists.

Examples of Roster method in Math:


Example  Sets 1:

Write each of the following sets in the roster form

i) P =  Set of all factors  of 34

ii) Q= set of all odd numbers less than 15

iii)R  = Set of all even numbers  less than 20

iv)S= set of all letters in the Word,'TUTORVISTA'

Solution:

i)All the factors of 34 are 1,2,17

Therefore,P={1 ,2,17}

ii) Q = All odd numbers less than 15 are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13

Therefore,Q={1,3,5,7,9,11,13}

iii)R=All even numbers less than 20 are 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18.

Therefore ,R= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18}

iv) The set of all letters in the word,'TUTORVISTA'

Therefore ,S ={T,U,O,R,V,I,S,A}

Example Set 2:

1)Set of all prime numbers between 10  to 20

Solution:

Prime numbers between 10 to 20 ⇒ 11,13,17,19

Using roster method ,In the form of set notation ,

Prime numbers between 10 to 20 ⇒   {11,13,17,19}

2)The set of all letters in the word,' ROSTER METHOD IN MATH'

Solution:

Note: The set contains the alphabets only once.

Therefore, The set of all letters in the word,' ROSTER METHOD IN MATH'

Set ⇒ {R,O,S,T,E,M,H,D,I,N,M,A}

Example in the form of Perfect roster Method in Math:

1)X =`{(1/2),(5/4),(4/6)}` is a set of fraction numbers.

2) Y   ={English,Math,Science,Biology} is  a set of subjects.

3) Z  = {Banana,Mango} is a set of  fruits .

Grade 3 Math Fractions

Introduction for Grade 3 math fractions:

This article we are discussing about grade 3 math fractions. A part of a whole is called fraction. Fractions can be consisting of minimum two digits. The numerator is specified as top digits. The denominator is specified as bottom digits.

Numerator
denominator

An arithmetical expression relating digits or two quantities, one divided by the other is called fraction. The digits may be whole numbers of this is a rational number.

For example, 3/6 is a fraction. The digit 3 is numerator and digit 6 is a denominator. Grade 3 math fractions are used to solve the simple addition fraction, multiplication fraction and subtraction fraction.


Examples problem for grade 3 math fractions:


Example 1: Add the fractions for given two fraction, `10/5` + `7/5` .

Solution:

The given two fractions are `10/5` + `7/5`

The same denominators of the two fractions, so

= `10/5` + `7/5`

Add the numerators the 10 and 7 = 10+7 = 17.

The same denominator is 5.

= `17/5`

The addition fraction solution is `17/5` .

Example 2: Subtract the fractions for given two fractions, `10/5` - `7/5` .

Solution:

The given two fractions are `10/5` - `7/5`

The same denominators of the two fractions, so

= `10/5` - `7/5`

Subtract the numerators the 10 and 7 = 10-7 = 3.

The same denominator is 5.

The addition fraction solution is `3/5` .

Example 3: Multiply the fractions for given two fraction, `10/6` * `7/6` .

Solution:

The given two fractions are `10/6` * `7/6`

The same denominators of the two fractions, so

= `10/6` * `7/6`

Multiply the numerators the 10 and 7 = 10*7 = 70.

Multiply the denominators the 6 and 6 = 6 * 6 = 36

= `70/36`

The addition fraction solution is `70/36` .

Example 4: Add the fractions for given two fraction `3/4 ` + `2/5`

Solution:

The denominator is different so we take a least common denominator (LCD)

LCD = 4 * 5 = 20

So multiply and divide by 5 in first term we get

`(3 * 5) / (4 * 5)`

=`15/20`

Multiply and divide by 4 in second terms

= `(2*5) / (5*4)`

= `10/20`

The denominators are equals

So adding the numerator directly

= `(15+10)/20`

Simplify the above equation we get

= `25/20`

Therefore the final answer is `5/4` .

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Interest Equation, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Practices problems for grade 3 math fractions:

Teacher help math problem and solution


Jack and Joe agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Jack travels 114 miles and Joe travels 96 miles. If Jack rate of speed is 6mph faster than Joe’s then at what rate of speed does Jack travel?
Solution

Take Joe’s speed = x,

Distance travel by Joe = 96 miles

Jack’s speed = x+6,

Distance travel by Jack =114 miles

Distance/speed = time, here time is constant.

Now `114/(x+6) ` = `96/x`

Cross multiply so it becomes 114x = 96x+ (96*6)

Subtract 96 x on both side as common

114x -96x=96x-96x+576

18x = 576

Divide by 18 on both sides

`(18x)/18` = `576/18`

x= 32 mph = Joe’s speed

So Jack speed = 32 + 6 = 38mph.

2. The sum of the ages of Nancy and her daughter is 55 years. If the age of the daughter is 16 years what will be the age of Nancy?

Solution

Let the age of Nancy be x years.

The age of her daughter =16 years.

Sum of two ages =(x+16) years.

But this sum is given as 55years.

Problems based of math logic


Determine the logic problem if a set of 12 numbers is 32 .If we taken a number from that list means then the remaining number is  24 .Find the number which is removed ?
Solution:

Step 1: The removed number can be viewed from the given list of 12 numbers and the amount of remaining numbers 24.

The list of 12 numbers - Amount of remaining numbers 24

Step 2: Using the formula

Sum of terms = Average* Number of terms

The list of 12 numbers = 32 x12 = 384

The amount of remaining numbers = 24 x 12 = 288

Step 3: Using the formula from step 1

Number removed = The list of 12 numbers – The amount of remaining numbers 24

384 – 288 = 96

Answer: The number removed is 96.


Some more problems based on logic math


In a sports day, there are 800 peoples consist of men, women, and children.  There are six times as many men as children, and thrice as many women as children. How many of women are there?
Sol:

Let 'x' be the number of children.

Then the number of men = 6 x and the number of women = 3x

So, the equation is  x + 6x + 3x = 800

10x = 800

x = 800 / 10

x = 80

Therefore, the number of women = 3x = 3(80) = 240

There were 54 computers in each urn. 24 such urn of computers were distributed to a college. 14 computers were damaged and had to be removed. The un delivered computers were packed into the urns of 8 computers each. How many urns of computers were there?
Sol:

First determine the total number of computers distributed to a college

54 × 24 = 1296

The total number of computers distributed to the college is 1296.

Get the number of undelivered computers.

1296 – 14 = 1282

Get the number of urn that contains computers.

1282 ÷ 8 = 160.25

There were 160.25 urns of computers.

What is Median Math

Introduction to median in math:
In math,Median is nothing but the middle number in a sequence of numbers.To find the Median, set the numbers we are given in value order and find the middle number.For Example: Find the Median of {16, 23 , 10 , 11 , 26 , 13 and 15}. Put them in ascending order first: {10, 11, 13 , 15 ,16 ,23 ,26}, the middle number is 15, therefore the median is 15.


What is median math?

The median is the middle value of the distribution that is the median of a distribution is the value of the variable which divides it into two equal parts. It is nothing but the value of the given variable such that the number of annotations above it is equal to the number of annotations below it.

Median of a group or continuous frequency distribution = l+ ((n/2)-c*f)/f)*h

Where,

l indicates lower limit of the median class

n indicates number of observations.

f indicates frequency of median class.

h indicates size of the median class.

cf indicates cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class.

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Statistics Calculator, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Example problems - What is median math?


Example 1:

Find the median of the following: 89, 39, 71, 28, 46, 68, 41, 71, 30, and 54

Solution:

Arrange the given sequence in the ascending order.

28, 30, 39, 41, 46, 54, 68, 71, 71, 89
we know that Median = Middle score-most score
Median = (46+54/2)

Median =100/2
Median = 50

Example 2:

Find the median of prime numbers between 46 and 84.

Solution:

The prime numbers between 46 and 84 are 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83
Median = Middle-most score
Median = 67

Example 3:

Find the median of the first 8 even numbers.

Solution:

The first 8 even numbers are {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16}

Arrange the given sequence in the ascending order.

{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16}

We know that Median = Middle score-most score

Median = (8+10)/2.

= 18/2.

= 9.

Median of grouped data- What is median math?
Example 4:

The distribution shown below gives the marks 50 of students in a class. Find the median Mark of the students.

Mark       Number of Student

0 -10           2

10 -20        12

20 - 30       22

30 – 40       8

40 - 50        6

Solution:

Marks (C. I.)     f       c.f

0 -10                  2       2

10 -20               12      14

20 - 30              22     36?

30 - 40              8        44

40 - 50              6        50

Here n / 2 = 50 / 2 = 25

So, 20 -30 will be the median class.

Now, l =20

h = 10

c.f = 14

f = 22

Median = 20 + [(25 - 14) / 22] x 10

= 20 + (11 / 22) x 10

= 20 + 5

= 25

This indicates 50% of the students got less than 25 marks and the other 50% got more than 25 marks.

Simple Form in Math

Introduction to simple form in math:

In mathematics simple form means simplest form or simplifying. Fractions are simplifying means dividing by the value of GCF for both numerator and denominator. Here GCF stands for greatest common divisor. Simple form in decimal means converting whole number or rounding the value. Therefore, simple form is a reducing of values for the given.


Example problems of simple form in math:


Simple form in math problem 1:

Writing the simple form: `18/12`

Solution:

Given `18/12`

Method 1:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Method 2:

Find the Greatest common divisor for the given fraction values and then simplifying them.

Therefore we can simply the given problem using the second method.

Greatest common divisor of 18, 12= 6

So, `(18-:6)/(12-:6)=3/2`

Answer: `3/2`

Simple form in math problem 2:

Writing the simple form: `28/16`

Solution:

Given `28/16`

Method 1:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Method 2:

Find the Greatest common divisor for the given fraction values and then simplifying them.

Therefore we can simply the given problem using the second method.

Greatest common divisor of 28, 16= 4

So, `(28-:4)/(16-:4)= 7/4`

Answer: `7/4`

Simple form in math problem 3:

Simplify  `(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)`

Solution:

We can simplify the given fraction values by using the following steps:

First we are factoring the values of numerator and then factoring a denominator values.

Finally reduce the fraction by cancelling the common value.

Given `(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)`

Here we can doing only reducing fraction. Because of already have factors for both numerator and denominator.

So reduce the fraction individually and then simplifying that,

`(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)=(x(x+7))/(x+7)-(4(x+7))/(x+7)`

Here cancel the factor `x+7 ` on both numerator and denominator.

After simplifying, we get the final answer.

`(x(x+7)-4(x+7))/( x+7)= x-4`

Answer: ` x-4`

Word Problems Math Work Done

Introduction:
The numbers and variables in a problem which are given in the form of words are known as word problems. It is hard to translate the words into mathematical expression or equations. When it is done, then it is easy to solve those problems. But translation of those words to mathematical symbols or equation is hard. Understanding the word problem is more important than solving it. Without understanding the math word problems the solving work can’t be done. Understanding What is Arithmetic Mean? is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.


Steps in solving Word problems:


The following are the steps to be considered when solving math word problems,

Step 1:  The first step in solving the word problems is, translating the given word data’s into numbers.

Step 2: After translation to numbers, read the problem completely and understand what is asked to find?

Step 3: Next step is to name the unknown values using variables like x, y z etc. This will help to solve the problem easily.

Step 4: After naming the unknown variables, work out the problem in an organized manner using basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

For example, if a word problem consists of two equations, first find the value of one unknown variable and then substitute that value in any one of the equation to find the another  value.


Math word problem work done examples:


Example 1: At present, the ratio between the ages of Anand and Ram is 3: 4. After 5 years, Anand's age will be 29 years. What is the age of Ram at present?

Solution:

Let the age of Anand = 3x

Let the age of Ram = 4x

3x + 5 = 29

Subtract 5 on both sides,

3x + 5 – 5 = 29 – 5

3x = 24

Divide 3 on both sides,

3x/3 = 24/3

x = 8

Ram age = 4(8)

= 32 yrs

Ram age is 32 years.

Example 2: Raj has some hens and sheep’s. If the number of heads is 50 and the number of feet equals 144, what will be the number of hens?
Solution:

Let the number of hens = x

Let the number of sheep’ = y

x + y = 50        equation 1

2x + 4y = 144    equation 2

Multiply equation 1 with 2,

2x + 2y = 100

2x + 4y = 144   (subtracting)

-2y = -44

-2y = -44

Divide 2 on both sides,

-2y/2 = -44/2

y = 22

Plug in y value in equation 1

x + y = 50

x + 22 = 50

Subtract 22 on both sides,

x + 22 – 22 = 50 – 22

x = 28

The number of hens is 28.

Many mathematical experts provides us the easy fast ways to learn maths, in the following parts we will see some of the fast ways to do math problems,

Fast ways to do math multiplication of the two digit numbers using 11:

For a two digit number that multiplies with 11, follow the steps for fast multiplication,

For example: Take the number 45

45 * 11

Consider the number 45.
Add 4 +5 = 9
Now insert the 9 inbetween the 4 and 5, gives 495.
We got the final answer 495 fastly using this ways.

Another example:

Take the number 25

25 * 11

Consider the number 25.
Add 2 +5 = 7
Now insert the 7 inbetween the 2 and 5, gives 275.
We got the final answer 275 fastly using this ways.


Fast ways to do math multiplication of the two digit numbers using 16:


For a two digit number that multiplies with 16, follow the steps for fast multiplication,

For example: Take the number 44

44 * 16

Consider the number 44.
Multiply the given number with 10 gives 44*10 = 440.
Then take the half value of the given number, and multiply with 10.
Gives (44 * 1 /2  ) * 10

= 22 * 10

= 220

Now add all the computed terms in above steps with the given number,
= 440 + 220 + 44

= 704

Thus we got the answer as fast as possible using this ways.

We got the final answer 495 fastly.

Another example:

Take the number 64

64 * 16

Consider the number 64.
Multiply the given number with 10 gives 64*10 = 640.
Then take the half value of the given number, and multiply with 10.
Gives (64 * 1 /2  ) * 10

= 32 * 10

= 320

Now add all the computed terms in above steps with the given number,
= 640 + 320 + 64

= 1024

Thus we got the answer 1024 as fast as possible using this ways.

Story Problems in Math

Introduction about story problems in math:

Story problems are also known as word problems which are mainly used for kids to apply their knowledge of mathematics to the real world problem.  Story problems in math develop thinking power, problem-solving skills, and reasoning ability among students. Story problems in math are a sequence of expressions that fits into an equation. We will see some math story problems in this article.

Example Story problems in math:


Example 1: There are 25 pencils in the box. 13 pencils were used by the kids. How many pencils are there remaining?

Solution:

Total Number of Pencils in box = 25

Number of pencils used = 13

Remaining pencils = 25 -13

= 12

Example 2: Rahul, Joey, Nizam were playing Carom. Rahul scored 55 points, Joey scored 42 points and Nizam scored 30 points. How many points did they score together?

Solution:

Points scored by Ravi = 55

Points scored by John = 42

Points scored by Nizad = 30

Total points scored = 55+42+30

= 127 points.

Example 3: Joseph is 3 ½   cm Shorter than Sara.  Sara is 162 `3/10` cm tall.  How tall is Joseph?

Solution:

Given Sara height = 162 `3/10`

Joseph height = Sara height - 3½

= 162 `3/10 ` – 3 ½

= 162`3/10` – 7/2

= (1623 – 35)/ 10

= `1588/10`

= 158 `8/10`

Joseph height is 158 `8/10` cms.

Understanding Properties of Multiplication is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

More Example Story problems in math:

Example 4:

There are 5 tigers and 6 lions. The tigers each weigh 15 pounds. The lions each weigh 20 pounds. How much do they weigh altogether?

Solution:

Number of Tiger= 5

Number of Lion= 6

Weight of 1 Tiger = 15 pounds

Weight of 5 Tigers = 5 * 15

= 75 pounds

Weight of 1 Lion = 20 pounds

Weight of 6 Lions = 20*6

= 120 pounds

Total weight = 120+75

= 195 pounds

Example 5: Sanjana bought 25 Balloons for `$` 5. What is the cost of 1 balloon?

Solution:

Number of balloons= 25

Cost of 30 balloons = `$` 5

Cost of 1 balloon    = `5/25`

= `$` 0.2

Example 6: In a Conference, among the total number of people 12 people came to the meeting late which is the 24% of the total count. How many people are there in that Conference hall totally?

Solution:

Total number of people = x

Number of people arrived late =12 (4% of x)

Hence,

`(24/100) ` * x = 12

24x= 12 *100

24x = 1200

X= `1200/24`

= 50

Hence Total numbers of people are 50.

Assessment Of Math

Definition assessment:

Educational assessment is the process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. Assessment can focus on the individual learner, the learning community the institution, or the educational system as a whole. "Studies of a theoretical or empirical nature addressing the assessment of learner aptitude and preparation, motivation and learning styles, learning outcomes in achievement and satisfaction in different educational contexts are all welcome, as are studies addressing issues of measurable standards and benchmarks"

Source: Wikipedia


Teachers need to ask themselves with math assessment:

The following are two very important questions that teachers have to ask when teaching.

Is what I am doing helping children to develop a desire to learn mathematics?

Is what I am doing teaching children to become numerate?


Types of assessment in math:


There are two main ways in which to assess children

Formative assessment in math.

Summative assessment in math.

Formative assessment is assessing a learner while the learner is forming the new knowledge.

Example for formative assessment in math:

An example of formative assessment would be sitting with a learner while he or she is doing a task (say using a number line to count in groups), watching how the child goes about the task and asking the child to explain how and what he or she is doing. In this way, you find out what strategies the child is using and developing and what strategies you should be helping the child with; you are getting direct and instant feedback on hoe the child is coping and you are able to respond to the situation immediately through re-teaching and explaining again, asking anther learner to help, or planning another lesson on that need for the next day.

Summative assessment is assessing a learner at the end of the lesson, section, topic, quarter or year as a summing up of what the learner knows. Therefore, tests and exams are summative versions of assessment.

In math, when both formative and summative assessments are used, that is continuous assessment. In an outcomes-based education system, continuous assessment is used. The teacher studies the learning outcomes required of the learners and then plans lessons to teach to achieve these outcomes. During the lessons, the teacher observers what children are doing and saying and how children are doing a task. The teacher asks for explanations from the children as to what and how they are doing a take. The teacher helps those learners who are confused and continually monitors which learners are gaining control of the skills and concepts. Once a child can do something independently within the number range for that learner, a teacher can say that that child has learnt what was intended by the lesson and so can record that performance as a desired learning outcome for that child

What is Median in Math

Introduction to what is median in math:

Let us see what is median in math. In general, median in math is the middle value in a set of data. Statistically median is defined as a measure of central tendency which gives the value of the middle-most observation in the data. The median in math is obtained by arranging the given list of data in ascending order. Median separates the higher value and lower vale. This article deals with what is median in math and how to find median with examples.


How to find median in math:


To find median initially we have to arrange the data values of the observations in ascending order. Then,

If n = odd {n= number of data} ,

Median = `(n+1)/2` th observation

If n= even,

Median = `(((n/2)th data ) + ((n/2) +1)th data) / 2 ` {which means average of ((n/2) + (n/2)+1)th data }


Example Problems to find median in math:

Example 1:

What is the median of the given observations 50, 125, 10, 210, 50, 24, 175

Solution:

Ascending order of given data,

10,24,50,50,125,175,210

Here the number of observations= n= 7

n= odd,

Median = `(n+1)/2 ` th observation

= `(7+1)/2`

=` 8/2`

= 4th observation

Hence median is 50.

Example 2:

Find the median of the given observations 20, 7, 9, 12, 7, 9, 5,3,15, 15

Solution:

Ascending order of given data,

3, 5, 7, 7, 9,9,12,15,15,20

Here n= 10 (even) ,

Median = `(((n/2)^(th) data) + ((n/2) +1^(th) data)) / 2`



=   ((10/2)th data) + ((10/2)+1) thdata)) / 2

= `(5^(th) data + 6^(th) data) / 2`

= `(9+9 )/ 2`

= `18/2`

= 9

Hence the median is 9.

Example 3:

What is the median of this observation 20, 29, 28, 33, 42, 38, 43, 25?

Solution:

Ascending order of given data,

20, 25, 28, 29, 33, 38, 43, 42.

Number of observation = n= 8

N= even ,

Please express your views of this topic Subtract Fractions with Different Denominators by commenting on blog.

Median = `(((n/2)th data ) + ((n/2) +1)th data) / 2 `

=((8/2)th data +(8/2)+1 th data )/2

= `(4^(th) data + 5^(th) data) / 2`

= `(29+33)/2`

= 31.

Hence the median is 31.

Example 4:

Find the median of the observation 6 ,28, 24, 15, 2, 4, 1 ,20,5

Solution:

Ascending order of given data,

1,2,4,5, 6, 15,20,24,28

Here the number of observations = 9

n= 9 (odd)

Median =`(n+1)/2` th observation

= `(9+1)/2`

= `10/2`

= 5

Median is the 5th observation.

Hence median = 6.

New Math Division

Introduction for new math division:

In algebra basic arithmetic operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) widely used in day to day life. In these articles we are going to see about new math division. Division (÷) can be considered as repeated subtraction or equal distribution.

The following division methods are all based on the form Q = N / D where

• Q = Quotient

• N = Numerator (dividend)

• D = Denominator (divisor).

Specifically, if c time’s b equals a, written: c x b = a, Where b is not zero, then a divided by b equals c, written: a / b = c. In the above expression, a is called the dividend, b the divisor and c the quotient.

New math division and long division definition and steps:


Definition for division:

Division is defined as an arithmetic function, which is the opposed process of multiplication. From the process of division, the proportion or ratio of two numbers be capable of be calculated.

Otherwise, the process of decision how many periods of one number is included in a further one. Symbol of division is ‘/’ or ‘÷’. If we divide a number by another number, then

Dividend = (Divisor * Quotient) + Remainder

Long division:

Division plays a key role in our day to day activities. Long division is one of the usual methods of solving the division problems. Long division is usually studied in elementary classes. In this article, we are going to see about long division with remainders.

Steps for division math facts:

Step1. Division of two integers by the related signs resolve be positive sign

a) Positive ÷ positive = positive

b) Negative ÷ negative = positive

Step2. Division of two integers by the unlike signs will be negative

a) Positive ÷ negative = negative

b) Negative ÷ positive = negative.



Example problem for new math division:


Problem 1: Jack built a tower of blocks forty-nine inches high. Each block in the tower is seven inches tall. How many blocks were used to build the tower?

Solution:

Jack built a tower of blocks forty-nine inches high.

Each block in the tower is seven inches tall.

So, total blocks =   `49 / 7`

Therefore total blocks used to build the tower = 7 blocks

Problem 2: The school's Internet connection transferred thirty eight megabytes of data in two seconds. How many megabytes can it transfer in just one second?

Solution:

The school's Internet connection transferred thirty eight megabytes Data in two seconds.

So, therefore total megabytes can it transfer in just one second

=   `38 / 2`

= 19 megabytes.

Problem 3: There are four soft drink machines in the university. They hold sixty - four cases of soda altogether. How many cases does each machine hold?

Solution:

There are four soft drink machines in the university.

They hold sixty - four cases of soda altogether.

Total cases of soda machine hold =` 64 / 4`

= 16 Cases of soda.

Arithmetic Homework

Introduction to arithmetic homework:

Arithmetic  is the fundamental theory in mathematics. It was mostly used to work out mathematical function of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It is specially for the mathematical operations. An arithmetic operation is not just deals with integers,it also deals with arithmetical calculation, actual numbers and complex numbers.

Several times Number theory is known as higher arithmetic.
Congruence theory is known as Modular arithmetic.
Arithmetic performed on actual numbers is known as floating point arithmetic.
Let us do some arithmetic homework problems.


Example for Arithmetic homework help:


Addition:

Sum of two or more numbers is called Arithmetic. The addition symbol is + (plus).  We know how to do the addition function for the all kind of values. Addition will increase the values.

Homework Example:

8 + 3 = 11

Subtraction:

Subtraction is also one of the fundamental arithmetic operations. Minimizing two or more numbers is known as Subtraction. The subtraction symbol is – (minus). Subtraction problems reduce the values.

Subtraction can do in the following way,

C = A - B

Where,

C is difference.

A is the minuend value.

B is the subtrahend value.



Homework Example:

5 – 3 = 2

Multiplication:

Multiplication is the range of 2 numbers. X (product) is the symbol for multiplication. Multiplication also performs by recurrence of addition. The term frequently used for multiplication is “times”.

Homework Example:

8 times 2 means 8 multiply with 2.

8 * 2 = 16

The other way of multiplication frequent addition,

7 times 2 = 14

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 +2 = 14

Rational multiplication:

16 / 4 * 8 / 8 =?

4 * 1 =?

= 4

Division:

Division is same like as multiplication function. But it is the reverse of multiplication. The sign of division is ‘/ ‘(slash). The most important function of division is decreasing the value then it is also repeat subtraction.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Introduction for arithmetic reasoning:

Arithmetic reasoning is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of number especially with regard to basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division etc and applications to solution of problems. Generally, we use arithmetic in our day-to-day life. The literacy rate is calculated by the 3 R’s namely ‘Read’, ‘wRite’ and ‘aRithmetic’. so arithmetic is an important role in our daily life. Arithmetic reasoning example and practice problems are given below. 


Arithmetic reasoning example problems:


1. A Washing machine costs Rs.5, 00,000/–. If the value depreciates 15% the first year, 13½% the next year 12% the third year and so on. What will be its value at the end of 10 years, the entire percentages applying to the original cost?

Sol:  The percentage of depreciation in value in consecutive years form an A.P.
Total depreciation (in %) = 15 + 13½ + 12 + … to 10 terms, Here a = 15, d = – 1.5
Sn = n/2 [ 2a + (n-1)d]

Sn = 10/2 [ 30 - 13.5 ] in % = 82.5%
Value of the machine after 10 years = 100 – 82.5 = 17.5%
Original cost of the machine = Rs.5,00,000
Value of the machine after 10 years = Rs.5,00,000 ×17.5/100 = Rs.87,500

2. Convert the following into percentages
(a) 2/5 (b) 3/4
Sol:
(a) 2/5 =2/5 ×100/100 =40/100 = 40%
(b) 3/4 =3/4 ×100/100 =75/100 = 75%

3. The monthly salary of Rani is Rs. 4000. She spends 80% of her salary every month. How much does she save every month?
Sol:
Rani's monthly salary = Rs. 4000
Expenditure = 80% of 4000
= 80/100 × (4000) = Rs. 3200
Savings = 4000 – 3200 = Rs. 800
