Equal Intervals

Introduction to equal intervals:

Generally interval in mathematics is defined as  difference between the two numbers, if that numbers are a, b means the interval will be denoted by a-b .Equal interval is applicable only for the set of numbers ,if a set contains the large number means  interval of each of the numbers must be equal, so it is called as equal interval, here we are using  formula for  equal given number will be divided by the equal interval. Is this topic The Perfect Number hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Example Problems -equal Intervals:
Example problem 1:

If the number is 150, here we do the operation as equal interval

(I) 5 equal intervals

(ii) 10 equal intervals

(iii) 3 equal intervals

Solution:

(i)Here we are going to divide the number 150 into the 5 equal intervals it means we have to split the number,

150/5we get the answer is 30 ,

So 150 is divided into the 5 equal parts of 30

(ii)Here we are going to divide the number into the 10 equal intervals it means we have to split the number,

150/10 we get the answer is 15 ,

So 150 is divided into the 15 equal parts of 10

(ii)Here we are going to divide the number into the 3 equal intervals it means we have to split the number,

150/3 we get the answer is 50,

So 150 is divided into the 3 equal parts of 50

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Percentage Formulas, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Example Problem 2:

If the educated people in the city is 78%, split the people in the street wise with equal interval

(i) 2 equal intervals

(ii) 3 equal intervals

(iii) 6 equal intervals

Solution:

(I)Here we are going to divide 78% of the educated people with the equal interval of 2 it means we have to split percentage with the 2 equal intervals

78%/2 we get the answer is 39%,

So 78% of the educated people are separated with 2 equal intervals of 39%

(ii)Here we are going to divide78% of the educated people with the equal interval of 3 it means we have to split percentage with the 3 equal intervals

78%/3 we get the answer is 26%,

So 78% of the educated people are separated with 2 equal intervals of 36%

(iii)Here we are going to divide 78% of the educated people with the equal interval of 6 it means we have to split percentage with the 6 equal intervals

78%/6we get the answer is 13%,

So 78% of the educated people are separated with 6 equal intervals of 13%

Solving Applied Math Problems

Introduction to solving applied math problems:

Mostly college level students are using the applied mathematics problems. Applied mathematics is very helpful for students for learning about math. Applied math is a division of math that concerns itself with the mathematical techniques typically used in the application of math knowledge to other domains. The following topics are covered in applied mathematics; they are functions of a complex variable, calculus, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and the calculus of variations.

Example Problems for Solving Applied Math Problems:

Solving applied math problems – Example: 1

Transform the BVP to an integral equation: `(d^2 y)/(dx^2) + y = x, y(0) = 0,` `y'(1) = 0.`

Solution:
First, integrate both sides from x to 1 (so that the boundary condition `y'(1) = 0 ` can be applied). This gives

`y'(1) - y'(x) + int_x^1 y(u) du = int_x^1 y(u)du = int_x^1 udu = (u^2)/(2)|_x^1 = 1/2 – (x^2)/(2)`
Applying the condition` y'(1) = 0 ` and multiplying both sides by (-1) results in

`y'(x) - int_x^1 y(u)du = (x^2)/(2)- 1/2`

Next, integrate both sides from 0 to x:

`(y(x) - y(0)) - int_0^x int_z^1 y(u)dudz = int_0^x (u^2)/(2) - 1/2 du = ((u^3)/(6) - (u)/(2))|_0^x = (x^3)/(6) - (x)/(2)`

or, applying the condition y(0) = 0,

`y(x) - int_0^x int_z^1 y(u) dudz = (x^3)/(6) - (x)/(2)`

We see that the region must be split into two pieces, and a separate integral written for each piece:

`int_0^1 int_z^1 y(u)dudz = int_0^x int_0^u dz y(u) du + int_x^1 int_0^x dz y(u) du`

or after doing the trivial z-integration,

`int_0^1 int_z^1 y(u)dudz = int_0^x u y(u) du + int_x^1 x y(u) du`

The desired integral equation, then, is

`y(x) - int_0^x u y(u) du - int_1^x xy(u) du = (x^3)/(6) - (x)/(2)`

Such an integral equation is often written in the form

`y(x) - int_0^1 k(x, u) y(u) du = (x^3)/(6) - (x)/(2)`

where

k(x, u) = `{ u, 0 < u < x`

`{ x, x< u < 1`

`Answer: k(x, u) = { u, 0 < u < x`

`{ x, x< u < 1`

Solving applied math problems – Example: 2

If `f(t) = ti + (t^2 - 2t)j + (3t^2 + 3t^3)k` , find `int_0^1 f(t)dt.`

Solution:

`f(t) = ti + (t^2 - 2t)j + (3t^2 + 3t^3)k`

` = i int_0^1 tdt + j int_0^1 (t^2 - 2t)dt + k int_0^1 (3T2 + 3t^3)dt`

`= i[(t^2)/(2)] + j[(t^3)/(3) - t^2] + k[t^3 + (3t^4)/(4) at (0,1)`

`= i[1/2 + j[1/3 - 1] + k[1 + 3/4]`

`= 1/2 i - 2/3 j + 7/4 k`

`Answer: 1/2 i - 2/3 j + 7/4 k`

Practice Problems for Solving Applied Math Problems:

1. Solve:  `g(s) = f(s) + lambda int_0^(2 pi) sin(s) cos(t)g(t) dt`

`Answer: g(s) = f(s) + lambda sin(s) int_0^(2 pi) cos(t)f(t) dt`

2. If  `f(t) = (t - t^2)I + 2t^3 j - 3k,` Find i) `int f(t) dt ` ii) `int_1^2 f(t) dt`

`Answer: (i) i[(t^2)/(2) - (t^3)/(3)] + (t^4)/(2) j - 3tk + c`

` (ii) - 5/6 I + 15/2 j - 3k`

Solve Mean Average Deviation

Introduction to Solve mean average deviation :

Statistics is one of the part in the mathematics and it is a tool that is used to analyze the data. The data values should be in either numeric in origin or it can be transformed from other form into numbers of data. The statistics is used to measure the average, middle value, repeated values, mean difference, mean deviation, variance and also finds the standard deviations in the given data set. Here we are going to see about the solve mean average deviation with some example problems and practice problems on it. I like to share this Mean Deviation with you all through my article.

Definition of Statistics Mean Deviation:

Mean Deviation of the statistics is used to measure of the difference between the given data set and mean value of the given data set and the square of those mean difference.

Steps to calculate mean average deviation:

Step 1: Find the mean for a given set of data.

Step 2: Calculate the difference between the given set of values and with the step 1 result individually.

Step 3 : Now squaring all the values individually.

Step 4: Summing up all the values of step 3.

Step 5: Calculate the average for a result of step 4.

Step 5 is the final result.

For calculating the mean deviation initially we have to measure the mean,

Formula for finding the mean is given by,

` barx`  =  ` (sum_(k=1)^n (x_k)) /N `

where as

`barx` is the symbol for the mean

`x_k` is the given set of values in the data set limits from `sum_(k=1)^n`

` N` is the total number of values in the data set.

Using the mean value mean deviation have to be found Formula for mean deviation is,

Mean Deviation  =`sum_(k=1)^n` `(x_k-barx)^2 / N`

Additive Inverse of Complex Numbers

Introduction to Complex numbers:

Complex number is said to be the sum of whole numbers and imaginary numbers. The imaginary numbers can be denoted as in numbers in form of ‘’i’’, where the value of I is `sqrt(-1)` . In this article, we see about the additive inverse of complex numbers. The additive inverse of the any number is the changing the sign of the number. That is instead –ve sign is positive and vice versa.

Additive Inverse of Complex Numbers:

We know that the sum of any number and its additive inverse of that number is zero.

To find: Additive Inverse of the Complex Numbers:

Let take the complex numbers Z = X + iy and its inverse be Z-1 = a + ib

Step 1: Now add the Z and Z-1, we get

Z + Z-1 = (X + iy) + (a + ib) = 0

Step 2: Combine Like term, we get

(X + a) + i (y + b) = 0

Step 3: By using zero product property, we can equating as

X + a = 0 and i (y + b) = 0

X = -a and y = -b

Thus the additive inverse of the complex numbers X + iy = -X – iy

Example Problems – Additive Inverse of Complex Numbers:

Example 1:

Choose the correct option - The additive inverse of the complex number 5 + 6i

Option:

a)     5 – 6i

b)    -5 + 6i

c)     -5 – 6i

d)    -11i

Solution:

Given: 5 + 6i

Formula: The additive inverse of X + iy = - X – iy

5 + 6i = -5 – 6i

Answer: Option c

Example 2:

What is the value of the sum of the complex number 4 + 8i and its additive inverse?

Nine Tenths of a Whole Number

Introduction to nine tenths of a whole number:

Decimals are a technique of writing fractional numbers devoid of writing a fraction containing a numerator and denominator. The fraction `9/10` should be written as the decimal 0.9 .The decimal point shows that it is a decimal. The decimal 0.9 possibly will be pronounced as nine tenths. In this article we shall discuss nine tenths of a whole number.

Nine Tenths of a Whole Number :

9 tenths means how many tenths in 9.We can write 9 tenths as follows:

9 tenths =` 9 xx (1/10)`

= `9/10`

= 0.9

Therefore 9 tenths can be written as 0.9 in decimal.

Let us take a whole number 10.

We are going to calculate the nine tenths of a whole number.

We have to multiply the whole number 10 by 0.9

That is, `10 xx 0.9` = 9.

Therefore  9 tenths of a whole number 10 is equal to 9. Please express your views of this topic greatest common denominator by commenting on blog

Example Problems for Nine Tenths of a Whole Number:

Example 1:

Find 9 tenths of a whole number 100

Solution:

The given whole number is 100.

We are going to calculate the nine tenths of a whole number 100.

We know that nine tenths is equal to 0.9

We have to multiply the whole number 100 by 0.9

That is, 100 x 0.9 = 90.

Therefore  9 tenths of a whole number 100 is equal to 90.

Example 2:

Find 9 tenths of a whole number 50

Solution:

The given whole number is 50.

We are going to calculate the nine tenths of a whole number 50.

We know that nine tenths is equal to 0.9

We have to multiply the whole number 50 by 0.9

That is, 50 x 0.9 = 45.

Therefore  9 tenths of a whole number 50 is equal to 45.

Example 3:

Find 9 tenths of a whole number 110

Solution:

The given whole number is 110.

We are going to calculate the nine tenths of a whole number 110.

We know that nine tenths is equal to 0.9

We have to multiply the whole number 110 by 0.9

That is, 110 x 0.9 = 99.

Therefore  9 tenths of a whole number 110 is equal to 99.

Example 4:

Find 9 tenths of a whole number 11

Solution:

The given whole number is 11.

We are going to calculate the nine tenths of a whole number 11.

We know that nine tenths is equal to 0.9

We have to multiply the whole number 11 by 0.9

That is, 11 x 0.9 = 9.9.

Therefore  9 tenths of a whole number 11 is equal to 9.9

Convert decimal to fraction

How do you Change a Decimal to a Fraction
Numbers that are not whole numbers or integers are expressed in two forms. One is called fraction form and the other is decimal form. The fraction form of a number tells you what parts are considered out of the total equal parts to indicate the value. But with the advancement in communication or working with numbers, we needed a form that will suit. That form is the decimal form which implicitly uses the powers of 10 as the number of equal parts. The numbers of considered parts are written as digits after a dot ‘·’, called as decimal point.

But when some quantity is expressed in fraction form or decimal form has to possess the same value. Even these days many understand the fraction form better. Therefore it is imperative to know how to convert decimals to fractions. That is, if you know the measure of a quantity in decimal you must be able to convert decimals to fractions.

Let us now study how to change a decimal to a fraction. As we mentioned earlier, the digits after the decimal point represent the number of parts out of the total number of parts. The total number of parts is the same as 10 to the power of number of digits.  That is 0.2536 in fraction form is (2536)/(10000). In many cases, this fraction can be simplified to the lowest possible terms. Thus, this is the method of how to turn a decimal into a fraction.

There are certain tricky cases in converting decimals to fractions. Some decimals may have non terminating decimal terms. That is, there may be endless number of digits after the decimal point. Again there are two cases with non-terminating decimal terms. The digits of the terms may show a pattern or there may not be any pattern. If there is no pattern then the decimal terms beyond a predetermined decimal place may be ignored and the last digit to be considered may be suitably rounded. With this rounding, the decimal number can be changed into a fraction as per the method explained. Please express your views of this topic GCF Word Problems by commenting on blog.

How to Convert Decimal to Fraction if the non-terminating terms show a pattern? There is an interesting algebraic method is there to do that. The following is an example. How do you convert 0.23232323…. to a fraction?
Let x = 0.23232323….
So, 100x = 23 + 0.23232323…., which is 100x = 23 + x, which means 99x = 23 or x = (23)/(99)
Therefore, 0.23232323…. = (23/99)!

Dividing mixed numbers

Here in this page we are going to discuss aboout the concept of Dividing mixed numbers .The division of mixed number is same as the division of improper fractions. The reciprocal function of the mixed numbers is called as the division of mixed numbers.  For example, 2  `(5)/(6)`  is known as mixed number example. In this article, we are going to see about how to divide mixed numbers with example problems and also with brief explanation. Understanding Dividing Monomials is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

How to Divide Mixed Numbers

The explanations given below ,

Step 1: For dividing the given mixed number, the given improper fraction are converted into the proper fraction.

Step 2: Then in the next step, we have to take reciprocal function for the second term and put the multiplication sign.

Step 3: Then, normal multiplication of mixed number operation is performed.

Examples

Let see some solved problems on Dividing mixed numbers-

Problem 1: How to divide following mixed number, 4 `2/3` and  5 `4/3` .

Solution:

Step 1: Given:

4 `2/3` and  5 `4/3` .

Step 2: Solve:

4 `xx` 3 = 12 and 5 `xx` 3 = 15

12 + 2 = 14 and 15 + 4 = 19

`15/3`   `-:`   `19/3`

Step 3: Now we are taking reciprocal to the above functions, we get

= `15/3`  `xx`  `3/19`

= `15/19`

Result: Division of mixed numbers = `15/19`

Therefore, this is the required answer for solving the division of mixed numbers.

Problem 2: How to divide following mixed number, 3 `4/6` and  6 `5/7` .

Solution:

Step 1: Given:

3 `4/6` and  6 `5/7` .

Step 2: Solve:

3  `xx`  6 = 18 and 6 `xx` 7 =42

18 + 4 = 22  and 42 + 5 = 47

`22/6`   `-:`   `47/7`

Step 3: Now we are taking reciprocal to the above functions, we get

= `15/3`  `xx`  `7/47`

= `105/141`

Result: Division of mixed numbers = `105/141`

Therefore, this is the required answer for solving the division of mixed numbers. Is this topic Finding the Mode hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.
