Math and Arithmetic

Math is the study of abstractions. Math allows us to isolate one or a few features such as the number, shape or direction of some kind of object. Then we can study what can be learned about the behavior of those features while ignoring everything else about the object.

What are some websites that you can go to for math help?

There are plenty of websites but not all of them are children friendly or virus proof but the one that is fine is bitesize or revise wise and then you just add your keystage( ks1, ks2 or ks3)

When do you add exponents?

The rules for exponents are

Multiplication;

a^(n) X a^(m) = a^(n+m)

Notice the coefficient 'a' MUST be the same for addition of exponents.

For something like

a^(n) X b^(m) you CANNOT add the exponents, because the coefficients are different. 'a' & 'b'

Division

a^(n) / a^(m) = a^(n-m) Subtract the exponents)

Nesting

(a^(n))^(m) = a^(nm) (Multiply the exponents).

However, in all Cases the coefficient MUST be the same .e.g. 'a'.

e.g.

3^(2) X 3^(5) = 3^(7)

5^(3) divide 5^(2) = 5^(1) = 5

(7^(3))^4) = 7^(12)

However,

3^(2) X 5^(3) = NOT allowed. because 9 x 125 = 1125 Not equal to the sqyare root or cube root of either number.

Is the square root of 16 a rational or an irrational number?

sqrt(16) = +/- 3

Both +4 & -4 are rational.

NB The square roots of prime numbers are irrational

e.g. sqrt(2) = 1.413213562....

sqrt(3) = 1.732050808....

sqrt(5) = 2.236067978....

et seq.,

1450 x 12?

1450 X 12

Long multiplication.

1340

X 12


13400 ( 1340 x 10)

  • 2680 (1340 x 2) NB 10 + 2 = 12

16080

===== The answer!!!!!

What is the nearest 100 to 1350?

1400

1350 ? Look at the 'tens' number, '5' in this case. If '5' or greaterm then add '1' to the 'hundreds' number.

1349 is nearer 1300

but

1350 is nearer 1400

NB THis applies to any numbers. Given a million, you inspect the 'hundred thousand' number. or 'tens' inspect the 'units' number.

How many feet in 150 square yards?

NONE!!!!

Feet is LINEAR ( a length)

150 square yards is AREA ( a region).

What is a hepagon?

No such thing as a 'hepagon'. I think you mean 'HEPTAGON'. Note the spelling.

A heptagon is a seven(7) sided 2-dimensional figure.

From their Latin roots, the names of polygons are : -

3 ' Trigon (Triangle).

4 ' Tetragon ( Quadrilateral)

5 ' Pentagon

6 ' Hexagon

7' Heptagon ( as given)

8 ' Octagon

9 ' Nonagon

10 ' Decagon

100 ' Centagon

1000 ' Millagon.

'--gon' is also Latin , for '2 dimensional figure.

So learn some Latin. Science and Maths use a lot of words from these ancient languages.

The sum of 2 numbers is 34 Four times the smaller number is 4 less than the larger number What are the numbers?

Let the numbers be 'm' & 'n'

m + n = 34

4m + 4 = n (4 times smaller is 4 less than the larger).

Algebraically rearrange

m + n = 34

4m - n = -4

Add

5m = 30

m = 6

Hence n = 28 (4 x 6 + 4 = 28).

So the two numbers are 6 & 28 .

What is the nth term of 20 29 38 47?

We note that there are a difference of '9' between terms . Hence '9n'

Next find the constant 'c'

1st term ; 9(1) + c = 20 => c = 11

2 nd term ; 9(2) + c = 29 => c = 11

nth term is 9n + 11

e.g.

7th term is 9(7) + 11 = 63 + 11 = 74

Eight times what equals twenty four?

8 X x = 24

Divide both sides by '8'

x = 24/8 = 3

'3' is the answer!!!!!

Are 6 billion and 6000 million the same thing?

YES!!!

6 billion is 6,000,000,000 = 6.0 x 10^(9)

6000 million is 6,000,000,000 = 6.0 x 10^(9)

Which is larger 0.011 or 0.01?

To compare decimals, bring the decimals to the same number of decimal places, by inserting suffix 'zeroes'. Three decimal places in this case.

0.011 ^ 0.01

Hence

0.011 & 0.010

Drop the decimal point

0011 & 0010

Drop the prefix zeroes

11 & 10

I think you will agree that 11 is greater than 10 ( 11 > 10)

Hence it follows that

0.011 > 0,01

NB THis method is good for comparing all decimals to 'n' number of places.

Can a scalene triangle be equaiateral?

You spell ' equaiateral;, correct;y as 'equilateral'.

A SCALENE triangle cannot be EQUILATERAL, because for all scalene triangles , the length of the three sides are all different and the angles are all different values.

An EQUILATERAL triangles has its three sides of equal length , and its three angles all at 60 degrees.

How many 2 digit prime numbers have 4 as one of their digits?

There are four 2-digit prime numbers that have 4 as one of their digits: 41, 43, 47, and 49. However, 49 is not a prime number because it is divisible by 7. So, the correct answer is three 2-digit prime numbers with 4 as one of their digits.

What is 80 percent of 35?

Well, isn't that a happy little math question? To find 80 percent of 35, you simply multiply 35 by 0.80. So, 35 x 0.80 equals 28. So, 80 percent of 35 is 28. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, math can be a peaceful and rewarding experience.

What year were you born if you are 78?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! If you are 78 years old, you were born in 1943. Just imagine all the beautiful landscapes and happy little trees you've seen in your lifetime. Remember, every year is a new opportunity to paint a masterpiece on the canvas of your life.
