How do you create a calculator on pascal?
:= is pascal for assignment
so :
n:= 1+2 ;
n is 3
pascal dont like mixed modes
x:= 1.0 + 2.0 ;
x is 3.0
; semicolon is very necessary it separates statements
procedure calc;
var x,y,z :real;
begin
x:= 1.0 ; y:= 2.0 ; z := x+y ; writeln(z);
end;
end.
How do you solve 3sqr root of 80 x6y5?
The browser used for posting questions on this site is rubbish. It is quite useless for mathematics since it strips out most symbols so that we cannot tell what the question is meant to be. We could try to guess but in some cases that is not possible and then we may as well make up our own questions and answer them!
Furthermore, this appears to be one expression (or equation) with two variables. In general that does not provide sufficient information for it to be solved.
Name three mathematician that has something to do with geometry?
Pythagoras, Isaac Newton (Calculus, I know, but I'm not sure), and Constantine (I think)
Did Archimedes discover perimeter?
No. The answer to this multiple-choice question is that he discovered "displacement", famously seeing water spill out of his filled bathtub when he got into it. ("Eureka!")
How did Rene Descartes use the parabola?
Descartes used the parabola to illustrate algebraic equations. He put these equations on a visible plane using the Cartesian coordinate system and they sometimes took the shape of a "u" curve, or a parabola.
What is René Descartes' contribution to algebra?
Rene Descartes initiated the process in which algebra is thought upon. His major contribution was making me have to do this pointless essay.
How is an axiomatic system of knowledge different from or similar to other system of knowledge?
It might be different in term of proving the knowledge. For example in math, the uses of axiom is something that people need to accept as something that is unquestionable. It is a logical statement that is considered as assumed to be true. If we are to compare it to other system of knowledge, for instant maybe nature science. In nature science, we need to make a hypothesis to prove something and the hypothesis need to be proved by the experiment that we conducted.
What did Copernicus do that made him famous?
Copernicus was famous for his great astronomy work and his life inventions. in University he studied Mathematics, Latin, Astronomy, Geography and Philosophy! His was very smart and used it to his advantage!
