Answer:
To make math easy for my students, whenever I become a math teacher, is the sole purpose why I want to be an educator. To understand how to make math easy, one needs to understand the whats, hows, whys of why people struggle with math.
Most people do not relate to math well and it usually starts around the middle/highschool level.
It's really no one's fault, to be honest.
At some point after arithmetic people start to lose sight, rather never realize what math is actually about. Math is more than counting, it is about critical thinking, logic, reason, pattern, and theory, way more than just digits. Yet, common education( at least here in the US) teaches to follow steps to solve problems as if it were a cookbook, just memorize the recipe and your good to go. If one gets the right or wrong answer, they would be lost as to explain what is truly happening.
Example Learning algebra I followed steps to solve for “x. ” Yet, I never knew, truly, what I was doing. All I remember thinking was the y intercept helped me get the “x.” Only later in self study in college did I bump into the fundamental theorem of algebra…. It all made sense. That moment put it into perspective for me.
If we want people to be good at math we have to give perspective on what is being taught, either presenting theory(which Uncle Sam should do), or simply by giving the bigger picture. With my example, to many people, they see it as a whole bunch digits and letters, get confused, and rightly so. If we explain to someone what's going down, that we are studying lines and that the intercepts(roots) help us better study(analyze) and capture these here lines and curves.
“Mr. Teacherman, Why do we need to study lines and cruves?” Great question student! To help us better understand the world around us. Just studying these simple curves on a graph may seem meaningless, but it forms the basis for things that aid us in many human endeavors, from building edifices to computer programming.
I wish that teachers did that in every class everyday.
In the US, we follow the cookbook method disservicing an entire country, especially those who are on the lower end of society.

Given the set of vertices, determine whether parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. List all that apply. A(7,-4), B(-1,-4), C(-1,-12), D(7, -12)
a. rhombus c. square, rectangle, rhombus
b. square d. rectangle
Given:
Vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(7,-4), B(-1,-4), C(-1,-12), D(7, -12).
To find:
Whether the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square.
Solution:
Distance formula:
[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Using distance formula, we get
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(-4-(-4))^2+(-1-7)^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB=\sqrt{0+64}[/tex]
[tex]AB=8[/tex]
Similarly,
[tex]BC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(12-(-4))^2}=8[/tex]
[tex]CD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-12))^2}=8[/tex]
[tex]AD=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8[/tex]
All sides of parallelogram are equal.
[tex]AC=\sqrt{(-1-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}[/tex]
[tex]BD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Both diagonals are equal.
Since, all sides are equal and both diagonals are equal, therefore, the parallelogram ABCD is a square.
We know that, a square is special case of rectangles and rhombus.
So, parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. Therefore, the correct option is c.

How do you rotate triangle A",B",C" 270 degrees around the origin. coordinates A" (-1,1), B"(1,-2) and C"(0,-4)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
rotated vertices are (1, 1), (-2, -1), (-4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
When the rotation direction is not specified, it is usually taken to be counterclockwise. Rotation 270° CCW is the same as rotation 90° CW. The transformation of coordinates is ...
(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)
Then your rotated points become ...
A(-1, 1) ⇒ A'(1, 1)
B(1, -2) ⇒ B'(-2, -1)
C(0, -4) ⇒ C'(-4, 0)
_____
In the attached, the rotated triangle is shown in red. As an example, the arc through which point C is rotated is shown.

Find the mean, median, and mode of the data set 8 2 7 2 6 5
Answer:
Mean is 6, median 5.5, mode 2
Step-by-step
Answer:
mean=8+2+7+2+6+5
=30
30÷6=5
note: divide the total with it's sum.
median=7+2
=9
9÷2= 4.5
note: median is the middle no. since there is no middle no. so just add those two no. and divide it by 2.
mode= 2
since it occurs twice
one and two-thirds divided by 3

anyone know this two questions I can't figure this out
Answer:
22) x - 46 = 74
23) 20 portions
Step-by-step explanation:
21)
Let x = the number of cars Sara sold.
Jerry sold 46 cars fewer than Sara, so Jerry sold x - 46 cars.
Jerry sold 74 cars, so the equation is
x - 46 = 74
Answer: x - 46 = 74
22)
Let the number of 1/3 lb portions = x
The weight of x number of 1/3-lb portions is 1/3 * x, or simply x/3.
The full bag weighs 6 2/3 lb.
The equation is
x/3 = 6 2/3
Now we solve for x.
x/3 = 20/3
Multiply both sides by 3.
x = 20
Answer: 20 portions
Answer:
let 's' = Sara's amount
let 's-46' = Jerry's amount
equation: s - 46 = 74
s = 120

Which statement about the value of x is true?
O x>38
Ox<39
Ox=77
OX > 103
Answer:
x = 77 and x > 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180.
The angle PNO will hence be:
180 - 38 - 39 = 103 degrees.
The angle PNO + angle x = 180 degrees (straight line)
So 103 + x = 180, therefore x = 180 - 103 = 77.
Which is also greater than 38, so x > 38 is also correct.
The solution is : x = 77 and x > 38
What is an angle?In Plane Geometry, a figure which is formed by two rays or lines that shares a common endpoint is called an angle. The two rays are called the sides of an angle, and the common endpoint is called the vertex.
here, we have,
Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180.
The angle PNO will hence be:
180 - 38 - 39 = 103 degrees.
The angle PNO + angle x = 180 degrees (straight line)
So 103 + x = 180,
therefore x = 180 - 103 = 77.
Which is also greater than 38,
so x > 38 is also correct.

Answer:
[tex] y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line can be written in slope-intercept form, as y = mx + b.
We need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of the line, then plug their values into the slope-intercept equation, to find the equation of the line shown.
y-intercept (b) = the point where the line intercepts the y-axis = 4
Using two points on the line, say, (0, 4) and (2, 3):
[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{3 - 4}{2 - 0} = \frac{-1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
m = -½.
Substitute m = -½, and b = 4 into y = mx + b.
The equation of the line would be:
[tex] y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4 [/tex]

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.7 gallons. On a given day, 99.7% of the cows will produce an amount of milk within which of the following ranges?
Answer: 4.1 gallons to 8.3 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
just took the quiz
99.7% of the cows will produce an amount of milk in the range is 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons option (A) is correct.
What is a normal distribution?It's the probability curve of a continuous distribution that's most likely symmetric around the mean. On the Z curve, at Z=0, the chance is 50-50. A bell-shaped curve is another name for it.
The missing options are:
A. 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallonsB. 4.8 gallons to 7.6 gallonsC. 4.1 gallons to 8.3 gallonsD. 3.4 gallons to 9.0 gallonsWe have:
A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.7 gallons.
The mean = 6.2 gallons
Standard deviation = 0.7 gallons
The range can be calculated:
Lower range = 6.2 - 0.7 = 5.5 gallons
Upper range = 6.2 + 0.7 = 6.9 gallons
Thus, 99.7% of the cows will produce an amount of milk in the range is 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons option (A) is correct.

In a right-angled triangle
, one acute angle is 30°. Find the other acute angle
VII CLASS MATHEMATICS
Answer:
60°
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of all angles is 180
and it's a right-angled triangle so there is angle = 90
so the other acute angle = 180-30-90=60°
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
90+30= 120
180-120= 60
