Concept explainers

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…

Proof: LN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯LN¯ divides quadrilateral KLMN into two triangles. The sum of the angle measures in each triangle is ˚, so the sum of the angle measures for both triangles is ˚. So, m∠K+m∠L+m∠M+m∠N=m∠K+m∠L+m∠M+m∠N=˚. Because ∠K≅∠M∠K≅∠M and ∠N≅∠L, m∠K=m∠M∠N≅∠L, m∠K=m∠M and m∠N=m∠Lm∠N=m∠L by the definition of congruence. By the Substitution Property of Equality, m∠K+m∠L+m∠K+m∠L=m∠K+m∠L+m∠K+m∠L=°,°, so (m∠K)+ m∠K+ (m∠L)= m∠L= ˚. Dividing each side by gives m∠K+m∠L=m∠K+m∠L= °.°. The consecutive angles are supplementary, so KN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥LM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯KN¯∥LM¯ by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Likewise, (m∠K)+m∠K+ (m∠N)=m∠N= ˚, or m∠K+m∠N=m∠K+m∠N= ˚. So these consecutive angles are supplementary and KL⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥NM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯KL¯∥NM¯ by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Opposite sides are parallel, so quadrilateral KLMN is a parallelogram.

By considering appropriate series expansions, ex · ex²/2 . ¸²³/³ . . .. = = 1 + x + x² +…… when |x| < 1. By expanding each individual exponential term on the left-hand side and multiplying out, show that the coefficient of x 19 has the form 1/19!+1/19+r/s, where 19 does not divide s.

Let 1 1 r 1+ + + 2 3 + = 823 823s Without calculating the left-hand side, prove that r = s (mod 823³).
