Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Problem 4. Let f(x, y) = { Find P(X <1/2|Y = 1/2). c(x + y²) 0

Qize f(x) x + 2x2 - 2 x² + 4x² - 4 Solve the equation using Newton Raphson

3. Consider the following theorem: Theorem: If n is an odd integer, then n³ is an odd integer. Note: There is an implicit universal quantifier for this theorem. Technically we could write: For all integers n, if n is an odd integer, then n³ is an odd integer. (a) Explore the statement by constructing at least three examples that satisfy the hypothesis, one of which uses a negative value. Verify the conclusion is true for each example. You do not need to write your examples formally, but your work should be easy to follow. (b) Pick one of your examples from part (a) and complete the following sentence frame: One example that verifies the theorem is when n = We see the hypothesis is true because and the conclusion is true because (c) Use the definition of odd to construct a know-show table that outlines the proof of the theorem. You do not need to write a proof at this time.
