How to Solve Anti Derivatives


In mathematics, anti derivative is also called as integration process. Integration is an important concept in mathematics and, together with differentiation, is one of the two main operations in calculus. The term integral may also refer to the notion of antiderivative, a function F whose derivative is the given function f. In this case it is called an indefinite integral. Integral can be classified as definite and indefinite integral. (Source: Wikipedia)

General formula for integration:

∫ `(x^n)` = `(x^(n + 1) / (n + 1))` + c

Example problems for how to solve anti derivatives

Anti derivative example problem 1:

Solve:

Integrate the given function ∫ (14.3x4 + 31.7x3 - 6x) dx.

Solution:

Given ∫ (14.3x4 + 31.7x3 - 6x) dx

Integrate the given function with respect to x, we get

∫ (14.3x4 + 31.7x3 - 6x) dx = ∫ 14.3x4 dx + ∫ 31.7x3 dx - ∫ 6x dx.

= 14.3 (x5 / 5) + 31.7 (x4 / 4) - 6 (x2 / 2) + c.

= `(14.3 / 5)` x5 + `(31.7 / 4)` x4 - 3 x2 + c.

Answer:

The final answer is  `(14.3 / 5)` x5 + `(31.7 / 4)` x4 - 3 x2 + c.

Anti derivative example problem 2`:`

Solve:

Find the value of the integration

`int_0^3(x^10)dx`

Solution:

Integrate the given function with respect to x, we get

`int_0^3(x^10)dx`  = `(x^11 / 11)`30

Substitute the lower and upper limits, we get

= `((3^11 / 11) - (0^11/ 11))`

= `((177147 / 11) - (0 / 11))`

= `(177147 / 11)`

Answer:

The final answer is `(177147 / 11)`

Anti derivative example problem 3:

Median of Three Numbers


In statistics, the median is the middle value of the set of data after the arrangement of ascending or descending order. If the total of elements in a set is even, median is arithmetic mean of two middle numbers (n and n+1). Divide total number of elements by 2 to get n. In this lesson we will discuss about how to find the median of three numbers.

Median of Three Numbers – Example Problems

Example 1: In a class 3 students’ marks as follows 76, 71, and 65. Find the median of given data.

Solution:

Arrange the numbers in ascending order {65, 71, 76}

Median:

{65, 71, 76}

Total number of elements in a data set is 3 which is an odd number. So find the middle value which is the median.

Here, 71 is the middle value.

Therefore 71 is the median.

Example 2: Find the median of three numbers 69, 72, and 87.

Solution:

Arrange the numbers in ascending order {69, 72, 87}

Median:

{69, 72, 87}

Total number of elements in a data set is 3 which is an odd number. So find the middle value.

Here 72 is the middle value.

Therefore median of given three numbers is 72.

Example 3: Three students’ height in a class as follows 158, 178, and 184. What is the median?

Solution:

Arrange the numbers in ascending order {158, 178, 184}.

Median:

{158, 178, 184}

Total number of elements in a data set is 3 which is an odd number. So find the middle value.

Here, 178 is the middle value.

Therefore 178 is the median.

Example 4: Three students’ weight in a class as follows 88, 75, and 84. What is the median?

Solution:

Arrange the numbers in ascending order {75, 84, 88}.

Median:

{75, 84, 88}


Total number of elements in a data set is 3 which is an odd number. So find the middle value.

Here, 84 is the middle value.

Therefore 84 is the median.

Median of Three Numbers – Practice Problems

Problem 1: Find the median of three numbers 145, 78, and 256.

Problem 2: Three students’ height in a class as follows 192, 178, and 182. Find the median.

Answer: 1) 145 2) 178

Binomial Nomenclature List


binomial nomenclature list
Introduction to Binomial nomenclature
The species concept: Species is recognized as the smallest unit of taxonomy or the basic unit of classification. In simpler form every different and recognizable type of organism (animal, plant or microbe) is a different species. In scientific terms, a species could be defined as a group of closely resembling organisms of the same type, in which members can interbreed freely and naturally to produce viable and fertile offspring, whereas they cannot interbreed freely or produce viable and fertile offspring with members outside the group.

Binomial nomenclature


Binomial nomenclature is the scientific method of giving names to every species of living organism. Carolos Linnaeus first introduced it in 1758. In this method every species of organism is given a name consisting of two words. The first word would refer to the name of the genus to which the organism belongs in the existing system of classification. Therefore this is known as the generic name. The second word in the name is called the specific name, since it refers to the exact species to which the organism belongs.
Rules to be followed in giving scientific names to plants and animals on the basis of binomial nomenclature
  • The name must consist of two words both in Latin and in other languages in Latinized form.
  • The first word should refer to the genus to which the organism belongs and it should start with capital letter.
  • The second word should refer to the species to which the organism belongs and it starts with a small letter.
  • Names derived by binomial nomenclature should also include reference in abbreviation to the name this is known as author citation.
  • The generic and specific names when printed must be in italics and when written otherwise must be separately underlined, indicating their Latin origin. Author citation is not in italics nor is it underlined.
  • When the same organism is given more than one scientific name by different authors, the earlier name becomes accepted.
  • These rules are framed and presented as International Code for botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) for plants and as International Code for Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals. They are periodically reviewed and revised by specific committees.

Advantages of binomial nomenclature


  • Names derived from binomial nomenclature gives universal reorganization to the organism.
  • Scientific name avoid confusion arising out of the same organism having different common names in different origins of the world.e.g. For brinjal in India (Solanum melongena) is called egg plant in western countries.
  • Using binomial nomenclature system automatically establishes taxonomic interrelationships between different taxa.
  • Addition of new information, acquiring rare information, exchange of resource materials, and exchange of information etc., become easy when universally accepted scientific names are used.

And the binomial theorem commonly used to expand the binomials to any given power without direct multiplication .Here we are going to learn about how to reducing binomials. Let us see about binomial with examples.


More information about binomials


The following binomial shows, how we can write the binomials using powers
(a + b)0 is equal to  1
(a + b)1 can be written as  a + b
(a + b)2 can be written as  a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)3 can be written as a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(a + b)4 can be written as  a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4
(a + b)5 can be written as  a5 + 5a4b + 10a3b2 + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5

Example problems for how to reduce binomials:


Example 1:
Reduce  `((x+2)^2)/(x+2)`
Solution:
Step 1: We can write it as an .`((x+2)^2)/(x+2)`
Step 2: And the question can be written as  `((x+2)(x+2))/(x+2)`
Step 3: On both the numerator and denominator, the (x+2) will be cancelled.
Step 4: Therefore, the answer is (x+2).

Example 2:
Reduce 2ab+5yz-ab-3yz+9ab.

Solution:
Step 1: It can be written as  `((x+7) (x+9))/((x+81)^2 (x+49)^2)`
Step 2: And, we can write the given question is `((x+7)(x+9))/((x+9)(x+9)(x+7)(x+7))`
Step 3: And Here both the sides the (x+7) and (x+9 ) are canceled.
Step 4: Therefore the answer  is`(1)/((x+9)(x+7))`



Example 4:
Reduce 4ts+6gh-ts-2gh+7ts.
Solution:
Step 1: First we need to arrange the terms.
Step 2: So, 4ts+7ts-ts+6gh-2gh.
Step 3: Here, we need to add the terms.
Step 4: Therefore the answer is 10ts+4gh

Example 5:
Reduce:  `((a+b)^3 (5a))/((a+b) (25))`
Solution:
Step 1: The question can be written as `((a+b)(a+b)(a+b)(5a))/((a+b) (25))`
Step 2: On both the numerator and denominator, the (a+b) and 5 will be canceled.
Step 3: Therefore, the answer is `((a+b)^2 (a))/(5)`
These are the examples of how to reducing binomials.

90 Degree Right Angle


In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle that bisects the angle formed by two halves of a straight line. More precisely, if a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles.
A right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90 degree angle).



The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure above). The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs. (Source: from Wikipedia).It is shown in the figure.
Now, we are going to see some of the problems involving 90 degree right angle. From these problems, we can get clear view about 90 degree right angle.

90 degree right angle problems:


Example problem 1:
Using the diagram shown, Find the length of hypotenuse.

Given:
Right angle triangle
 a = 5cm and b = 5cm
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find c.
c2 = a2 + b2
Substitute a = 5 and b = 5.
c2 = 52 + 52
c2=25+25
c2=50
Find the square root of each side.
C= √50=5 √2cm

Additional problems in 90 degree right angle:


Example problem 2:
Determine the length of the hypotenuse in the right angle triangle, given that angle θ = 37 degree.

Solution:
Sin θ= opposite side / hypotenuse
Sin 37 = 12 / x
0.6 = 12 / x
x = 12 / 0.6
x = 20
So, the side AC is 20cm.
Example problem 3:
Determine the length of the side x in the diagram, given that angle θ = 60 degree.

Solution:
Here, we use the sin θ. because the sin θ is related to the opposite side and hypotenuse.
Sin θ= opposite side / hypotenuse
Sin 60 = x / 24
0.866 = x / 24
x = 24* 0.866
x = 20.8
So, the side AC is 20.8cm.



Practice problems in right angle:
1) Find the length of hypotenuse when the adjacent side is 5 and the opposite side is 12. (Answer: hypotenuse=13)
2) Determine the length of the opposite side, given that angle θ = 30 degree and hypotenuse is 24. (Answer: opposite side= 12).

Alternate Segment Theorem


Given a circle and two points P and Q on its boundary and a departure to the circle at Q, then angle between the departure and the line PQ is the same as the angle subtended by this chord in segment of the circle on the opposite side of PQ.  Alternate segment theorem states that approach involving a departure and its chord is equal to angle in the alternate segment.Interactive animatronics representatives proof of an alternate segment theorem.

Theorem for alternative segment


         The length of the line segment AB, which joins A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) is given by
d= `|AB|=sqrt((x2-x1)^(2)+(y2-y1)^(2))`  
Proof:
Let A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) be two points in the plane.
Let d = distance between the points A and B.
Draw AL and BM perpendicular to x-axis (parallel to y-axis).
Draw AC perpendicular to BM to cut BM at C.

OL = x1, OM = x2 [AC = LM = OM - OL = x2 - x1]
MB = y2, MC = LA = y1 [CB = MB - MC = y2 - y1]
`AB^(2)=AC^(2)+CB^(2)`
`d^(2)=(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)`
d=`sqrt((x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1)^(2)))`




















Alternate Segment Circle Theorem


           The chord CE divides the circle into 2 segments. Angle CEA and CDE are angles in alternate segments because they are in opposite segments. Circles are easy blocked curves which separate the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior.The alternating segment theorem states that a position connecting a departure and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.
         In conditions of the beyond diagram, the alternating segment theorem tells us to facilitate angle CEA and angle CDE are equivalent.



A digression makes an angle of 90 degrees with the radius of a circle,so we know that ∠OAC + x = 90.
The angle in a semi-circle is 90, so ∠BCA = 90.
The angles in a triangle add up to 180, so ∠BCA + ∠OAC + y = 180.
Therefore 90 + ∠OAC + y = 180 and so ∠OAC + y = 90.
But OAC + x = 90, so ∠OAC + x = ∠OAC + y.
Hence x = y.








Fractions Addition


The whole thing is partitioned in two different pieces. Each piece is called fraction of the whole thing.A fraction represents the divided form of two numbers. It takes the general form of `(a)/(b)` . Here a represents the numerator value and b represents the denominator value. `(17)/(5)` is an example for fraction. Fractions are classified according to their values numerator and denominator which plays the important role in fractions addition table

Types of fraction

1.Proper Fraction

2.Improper Fraction

3.Mixed Fraction

4.Equivalent Fraction


Activities involved in fractions addition:

1. When we add two fractions with same denominator, those fractions are added directly.

For example:

`(2/3) + (7/3) = (2+7)/(3) = 9/3`   (here numerator is divided by denominator)

=3

2. When we add two fractions with different denominator, we have to find least common denominator.

`(2/3) + (6/9) = [(2xx3)+6]/(9) = (6+6)/(9) = (12)/(9)` (here numerator is divided by denominator)

=4/3

3. If mixed fraction is involved in fractions addition, we have to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction. Then we have to check the denominators. If the denominators are different, we have to find least common denominator. Otherwise no problem.

2 ¾ + 5/4

Take the mixed fraction 2 ¾

Convert it to improper fraction as below

` [(2xx4)+3]/(4) = (8+3)/(4) = (11)/(4)`

Now we can do the fractions addition

`(11)/(4) + (5)/(4)= (11+5)/(4) = (16)/(4) = 4`

Geometric Mean


     The geometric mean is the mean or average which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers. This is similar to arithmetic mean, which is the sum of adding the set of numbers and then dividing the sum of count number in set, n, and the number are multiplied and the nth root of resulting value is taken. The geometric mean only applies to positive numbers.

Formula Of Geometric Mean


Geometric Mean = ((X1)(X2)(X3)........(XN))1/N
Where
              X = Individual score
              N = Sample size (Number of scores)

Geometric mean is also used for set of numbers whose values are multiplied together or exponential in nature, such as growth of growth of human population or interest rates of a financial investment. The geometric mean is one of the three classic Pythagorean means, aforementioned arithmetic mean and harmonic mean.

Calculation of Geometric Mean


 The geometric mean of data set [ a1, a2, --------, an ] is given by
$\left(\prod_{i = 1}^{n} a_{i}\right)^{1/n}$ = $ \sqrt[n]{a_{1}a_{2}......a_{n}}$
The geometric mean of a given set is less than or equal to the given set of arithmetic mean (the two mean of equal when all the members of a data set are equal) this allows the definition for arithmetic geometric mean the two values always lie in between the geometric mean is also arithmetic harmonic mean in that if two sequences (an) and (hn) are defined:
an + 1 =  $\frac{an + hn}{2}$ , ao   = x and
hn + 1 = $\frac{2}{1/an + 1/bn}$, ho = y.
Then an is converge to the geometric mean of x. hn is converge to the geometric mean of y.
The sequence for converge to a common limit ( which can be shown by Bolzano - Weierstrass theorem) the geometric mean is given by
$\sqrt{a_{i}h_{i}}$  = $\sqrt{\frac{a_{i} + h{i}}{1/a_{i} + 1/h_{i}}}$  =  $ \sqrt{a_{i + 1}h_{i+1}}$



Exponential Growth of Geometric Mean


The geometric mean is more approximate than the arithmetic mean for explaining exponential growth.

How to Calculate Square Feet


How to calculate square feet :Square feet of an area is determined by multiplying length and the width of the given area . The area of regular polygons like square , rectangle , triangle etc... can be calculated by using the formula . If the dimensions of a regular polygon is given in feet then by just substituting the given dimensions in the formula the area in square feet can be calculated , if the measurements are given in any other units such as centimeter or inches or yards then we convert these units to feet and then calculate the area in square feet , similarly for a circle also if the radius is in feet we can just substitute the radius in the area formula and calculate the area in square feet ,if the radius is given in any other unit then convert that to feet and then calculate the area in square feet .

Area of composite shapes , a composite shape is a shape which can be divided into more than one of the basic shapes . An example of a composite shape or figure is shown in the picture .
Square feet

Here in this picture we can see a square , a rectangle and a triangle . Area of the whole figure can be calculated by calculating the areas of each shape and then adding them . If the measurements are not in feet then we have to convert them to feet and calculate the area in square feet .

How to calculate square feet live situations .


The home we live , the school we study and mostly all other places one or the other time needs the area of floors , walls, ceilings , windows etc. in square feet to get them painted or any other purpose and usually the areas are calculated in square feet as most of the paints or coating materials have the coverage  specification mentioned in square feet like a ' x ' brand paint covers 30 square feet per liter . 
For How to calculate square feet the example here is an interior view of a room which has to be carpeted and walls painted .( all measurements are in feet )

room interiorWe can see a room with a floor plan of a 

composite figure , that can be split into two rectangles as shown.


room interior c                                                          room interior x
Area of the floor in square feet to be carpeted is calculated by first learning How to calculate square feet :
Area of the floor  =  Area of rectangle 12 x 8  +  Area of rectangle 9 x 6
Area of the floor  =  96 square feet  +  54 square feet

Area of the floor  =  150 square feet .
There are all together six rectangular shaped walls as shown below .( figures not to scale )
To find the  total wall area , find the area of each wall and add them up .

Square feet 2 Square feet 3 Square feet 4
Square feet 5 Square feet 6 Area of wall 1. = ( 10 feet x 8 feet ) - ( 7 feet x 3 feet ) [ area of door ]                                                =   80 square feet  -  21 square feet  =  59 square feet
   Area of wall 2. = 10 feet  x  12 feet  =  120 square feet
   Area of wall 3. =  ( 10 feet x 14 feet ) - ( 4 feet x 5 feet ) [ area of window ]                                       =    140 square feet  -  20 square feet  =  120 square feet
   Area of wall 4. =  10 feet  x  9 feet  =  90 square feet
Area of wall 5.  =  10 feet  x  6 feet  =  60 square feet  ,  Area of wall 6.  =  10 feet  x  3 feet  =  30 square feet 
Total area of the wall to be painted  =  59  +  120  +  120  +  90  +  60  +  30  =  479 square feet .

Domain all the Real Numbers


In mathematics, the domain of definition or simply the domain of a function is the set of "input" or argument values for which the function is defined. That is, the function provides an "output" or "value" for each member of the domain. For instance, the domain of cosine is the set of all real numbers, while the domain of the square root consists only of numbers greater than or equal to 0.(Source: Wikipedia)

Domain all the real values - Example problems:


Example problem: 1
Find the domain function of f that can be defined by f (x) = -1 / ( x + 10)
Solution:
  To find the domain equate denominator to zero
  x + 10 = 0
  x = -10
Therefore the domain function of f is the set of all real values of x in the interval is(-infinity, -10) U (-10, +infinity)
Example problem: 2
 Find the domain function of f that can be defined by f(x) = x2 + 6.
Solution:
 The function f(x) = x2 + 6 is defined for all real values of x.
 Hence, the domain function of f(x) is the function of  "all real values of x".
 Since x2 is never negative, x2 + 6 is never less than 2
Example problem: 3
 Find the domain function of f that can be defined by f(t) = (1)/(t + 6)
Solution:
 The function f(t) = (1)/(t + 6) is not defined for t = -6, as this value requires division by zero.
 Hence the domain function of f(t) is the function of all the real numbers except -6
 Also, no matter how large or small t becomes, f(t) will never be equal to zero

Domain all the real values - Practice problems:

Practice problem:- 1
Find the domain of function of f that can be defined by f (x) = sqrt (-x + 16)
[Answer: Domain of function f is the set of all values of x in the interval (-infinity, 16) ]
Practice problem:- 2
Find the domain of function f defined by f (x) = sqrt( -x + 4) / [(x + 2)(x + 8)]
[Answer: domain of function f is the set of all values of x in the interval   (-infinity, -8) U    (-8, -2) U (-2, 4)]

Properties of the Parallel Lines


Parallel lines
          The distance between the two lines will be equal and they will never intersect, such lines are said to parallel lines.

 Properties of the parallel lines
           The parallel lines will have the same slope (m1=m2)
           Here the m1 and m2 are slopes of the lines.
           When the parallel lines are cut by transversal line, then eight angles are formed

properties :



Here
                     Angle 1 = angle 3 =angle 5=angle 7
                    Angle 2= angle 4 = angle 6= angle 8.

 Adjacent angles properties:
        when  the parallel line is cut by a transversal line, then the adjacent angles sum up to 180 degrees
                   Angle 1 +angle 2= 180 degree
                   Angle 3 +angle 4= 180 degree
                   Angle 5 +angle 6= 180 degree
                   Angle 7 +angle 8= 180 degree
                Here the adjacent angles always sum up to 180 degree.

 Corresponding angles properties
       The angle in the same position around the intersection of two points is said to be corresponding angle.
          when  the parallel line is cut by a transversal line, then corresponding angles are  equal
                    Corresponding angles:
                       Angle 1 = angle 6
                       Angle 2 = angle 5
                       Angle 3 = angle 8
                       Angle 4 =angle 7

Alternate angles properties:
                   when the parallel line is cut by a transversal line then alternate angles are equal
                   So
                    Alternate interior angle
                       Angle 3 = angle 5
                       Angle 4 = angle 6
                    Alternate exterior angle
                      Angle 2 = angle 8
                      Angle 1 = angle 7


Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on hard math problems for 8th graders and cds exam 2013. I am sure they will be helpful.

Model problems:


1.Find the angle 2, when the angle 1 = 120?
Solution:
 Here angle 1 and 2 are adjacent angles
 When parallel lines is cut by a transversal line, then the    adjacent angles sum up to 180 degree
          So angle 1+angle 2 = 180
                    120 +angle 2= 180
                     Angle 2= 180-120
                    Angle 2 =60 degrees
 2.Find the angle 4, when the angle 1 = 120?
Solution:
           Here angle 3 and 4 are adjacent angles
           Angle 1= angle 3 (vertical opposite angles are equal)
           Angle 3 = 120
 When parallel lines is cut by a transversal line, then the adjacent angles sum up to 180 degree
           So angle 3+ angles 4 = 180
                       120 +angle 4= 180
                        Angle 4= 180-120
                       Angle 4 =60 degrees.

Fraction Variable Solver


A fraction (from the Latin fractus, broken) is a number that can represent part of a whole. The earliest fractions were reciprocals of integers: ancient symbols representing one part of two, one part of three, one part of four, and so on. A much later development were the common or "vulgar" fractions which are still used today (½, ?, ¾, etc.) and which consist of a numerator and a denominator.
