Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Chapter 7.4, Problem 7P

A company mixes fertilizer and soil in a 4 to 9 ratio by weight, but the amounts of fertilizer and soil the company mixes vary. Let F be an unspecified number of pounds of fertilizer, which can vary, and let S be the corresponding number of pounds of soil the company might use. For each of the following equations and math drawings, discuss whether or not the equation is correct. If it is, explain how to reason about quantities and use a math drawing to obtain the equation. If the equation is not correct, explain why not and discuss how a student might come up with it.

S = 9. F . See Figure 7.33.

(b) An otherwise fair six-sided die has been tampered with in an attempt to cheat at a dice game. The effect is that the 1 and 6 faces have a different probability of occurring than the 2, 3, 4 and 5 faces. Let θ be the probability of obtaining a 1 on this biased die. Then the outcomes of rolling the biased die have the following probability mass function. Table 1 The p.m.f. of outcomes of rolls of a biased die Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6 Probability θ 1 4 (1 − 2θ) 1 4 (1 − 2θ) 1 4 (1 − 2θ) 1 4 (1 − 2θ) θ (i) By consideration of the p.m.f. in Table 1, explain why it is necessary for θ to be such that 0 < θ < 1/2. [2] (ii) The value of θ is unknown. Data from which to estimate the value of θ were obtained by rolling the biased die 1000 times. The result of this experiment is shown in Table 2. Table 2 Outcomes of 1000 independent rolls of a biased die Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6 Frequency 205 154 141 165 145 190 Show that the likelihood of θ based on these data is L(θ) = C θ395 (1 − 2θ) 605 ,…
