Polygon with all Sides and Angles Congruent

Introduction of polygon with all sides and angles congruent:

Polygon is one of the important shapes in geometry generally; there are two types of polygon. They are regular polygon and irregular polygon,in regular polygon as closed shape the sides of the regular polygon are equal, and the angles are also equal. But in the irregular polygon both angle and sides are not equal. In this article, we have to discuss about polygon with all sides and angles congruent.

Polygon with all Sides and Angles Congruent:

Regular Polygon consist of several types. They are,

Triangle
Square
Pentagon
hexagon
heptagon
octagon
nonagon
decagon
hendecagon, and
dodecagon.


Types of Regular polygon Table:

Study of Errors in Measurement

Any number when expressed in the form of percentage conveys lot of meaning. Percentage is nothing but a number being expressed as a part of 100. This can be ratio of 100 or also can be termed as fraction. Percentage can be denoted by the symbol % and is very commonly used. Many measurements are made in the real world. So, there can be errors also. When there is deviation from the desired measurement error is obtained. It has to be measured to ascertain its cause and also to seek its remedy. At first the absolute is calculated. This is done by subtracting the value of the measurement obtained and the standard value. This will always be a positive number as absolute value of a number will always be positive. Once the absolute value is obtained the next step is to find the relative error which can be found if the value of the standard measurement is known. The relative error formula is quite simple. It is obtained by dividing the absolute error by the true value. If it has to be found in percentage then the answer obtained is multiplied by 100. So, the relative error equation is absolute error being divided by original value and multiplied by 100. The final answer is obtained in percentage.

This error is very significant and can be very helpful. It can be very useful in making a comparison between two measurements. The symbol percent is very important. One must not forget to write this after the answer is obtained as the answer obtained is in percentage. Also while rounding off the digits it has to be seen that the numbers do not lose their values. The terms relative error and absolute error are inter-related.


Understanding coordinate transformation is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

To calculate the former one first the latter one has to be calculated. So, the calculation of absolute error is very important and no mistake must be done while finding it out. To calculate the absolute value the standard value is required. This has to be available and if it is not then the term absolute error cannot be found out and the process cannot be completed. Error occurs in the real world as the instruments used cannot give 100% accuracy. So, the errors cannot be eliminated but they can only be reduced. When an error occurs it means there is deviation from true value.

Smoothing Function in Math

Introduction for smoothing function in math:

In smoothing function in math, let f(x) be a real-valued function of a real variable x and let a be some fixed point in the domain of f. The number L is the limit of f (x) as x approaches a if, given any positive number `epsi`, we can find a positive number `delta` such that f (x) is in the range

|f(x) – L| `<` `epsi`

Whenever x is in the domain

0 `<` |x – a| `<` `delta`

We write

`^lim_(x -> a)` f(x) `=` L

More about for Smoothing Function in Math:

In smoothing function in math, the notation

`^lim_(x -> a)` f(x) `=` L

is read “the limit of F(x) as x approaches a is L.

f(x) `->` L  as x `->`a;

This is read as “f(x) approaches L as x approaches a” or “f(x) goes to L as x goes to a”. I like to explain limits by writing

f(x) `~~` L when x `~~`a (but x `!=` a).

The notation A `~~` B means A is approximately equal to B. In ? We will study a limit

f’(a) `=` `^lim_(x -> a)` `(f(x)-f(a))/(x-a)`

called the derivative. The derivative is a limit, but the concept of limit is more general. Note that in the definition of limit we consider values of x close to a but never plug in x = a. In the interesting examples (like the derivative) setting x = a in f(x) leads to something undefined like `0/0` for smoothing function in math. Is this topic 8th grade math practice problems hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Example for Smoothing Function in Math:

In smoothing function in math,

`^lim_(x -> 1)` 4x `-` 2 `=` 2

`^lim_(x -> 1)` `x^2` `+` 3 `=` 12

Some limits are more difficult to find if they contain a denominator that goes to zero as x `->` a. These limits must be treated carefully using, for example, L Hopitals rule.

Proof that a limit exists requires manipulation of inequalities to determine the relationship between `epsi` and `delte`. It is also necessary to verify that the inequalities |f(x) `-` L| `<` `epsi` and 0 `<` |x `-` a| `<` `delta` are satisfied as required by the definition of a limit.

Suppose we have the limits

`^lim_(x -> a)` f(x) `=` L

And

`^lim_(x -> a)` g(x) `=` M

Then

`^lim_(x -> a)` [ f(x) `+` g(x)] `=` L + M

That is, the limit of the sum of two functions is the sum of the limits.

`^lim_(x -> 1)` [`x^2` `+` 3 `+` 4x `-` 2 ] `=` 2 `+` 12

Answer is     `^lim_(x -> 1)` [`x^2` `+` 4x `+` 1 ] `=` 14

Statistics of Small Numbers

Introduction to Statistics of Small Numbers:
Statistics means that the formal science that are generating learn with the effective use of arithmetical terms. We are also help with the concepts like mode, median, mean and range. They are help with interpretation and also analysis of the terms. In this article, we are going to see examples with using of small numbers in statistics. Having problem with Mode of Numbers keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.

Mean and Median in Statistics of Small Numbers

Let see the examples of mean and median that are having the small numbers.

Mean:

Mean of the given numbers could be equivalent to the adding up of all the terms and total numbers of terms in the given list. The formula is,

Mean = Average value of the given numbers

Example problem:

Find the mean of the numbers, 3,7,1,4,9,12,6.

Solution:

Given numbers are, 3,7,1,4,9,12,6.

The formula for mean is,

Mean = Average value of the given numbers

Here, the adding up of all the numbers = 3+7+1+4+9+12+6

= 42

Total number of given numbers = 7

Therefore, Mean = `(42)/(7)`

= 6

Answer: Mean = 6

Median:

For measuring the median value for collection of numbers, we must arrange those numbers in an order.

i) When the total number of terms = Even number

Looking out for more help on how to do factoring polynomials in algebra by visiting listed websites.

ii) When the total number of terms = Odd number

Median = Middle value of the ordered list.

Example problem:

Find the median of the numbers, 5,2,9,13,4,7.

Solution:

Given numbers are, 5,2,9,13,4,7.

The ascending order of the given group of numbers is,

2,4,5,7,9,13

Here, total numbers = 6

This 6 should be an even number.

Therefore, Median = `(5+7)/(2)`

= `(12 )/(2)`

= 6

Answer: Median = 6

These are the examples of mean and median that is having the small numbers.

Mode and Range in Statistics of Small Numbers

Let see the examples of mode and range that are having the small numbers.

Mode:

The mode value of the collection of numbers could be a number that should occur most frequently in the given list.

Example problem:

Find the mode of the numbers, 4,1,3,9,5,1,2,1.

Solution:

Given numbers are,

4,1,3,9,5,1,2,1

The ascending order of these numbers = 1,1,1,2,3,4,5,9.

Here, the number ‘1’ is coming three times in the group of given numbers.

Therefore, the mode of those collection of numbers = 1

Answer: Mode = 1

Range:

The differentiation among the values like largest value and smallest value is said to be range.

Example problem:

Find the range of the numbers, 4,8,6,2,1,9,5.

Solution:

Given group of numbers are,

4,8,6,2,1,9,5

The formula for range is,

Range = Biggest value – Smallest value

Here, Biggest value = 9

Smallest value = 1

Therefore, Range = 9 – 1

= 8

Answer: Range = 8

These are the examples of mode and range that is having the small numbers.

That’s all about the statistics of small numbers.

Deference in Math

Introduction to difference in math:

In mathematics, difference or subtraction is one of the four basic arithmetic operations; it is the inverse of addition operation, meaning that if we start with any number and add any number and then subtract the equal number we added, we return to the number and we started with. Subtraction or difference is denoted by a minus sign in infix notation.

The traditional names for the parts of the formula,

a − b = c,

are minuend (a) − subtrahend (b) = difference (c). Instead we say that a and −b are terms, and treat subtraction as addition of the opposite. The answer is called difference.

Regression Slope Coefficient

Introduction to regression slope coefficient:
In mathematics, regression is one of the interesting topics in statistics. Linear regression is defined as the process of determining the relationship between two variables. It is a statistical analysis method which can be used to assessing the association between the two different variables. Let us see some example problems using regression slope coefficient.

Regression Slope Coefficient - Formula for Regression:

Formula for Regression:

Regression Equation (y) = a + bx
Regression Slope coefficient  (b) = `(NsumXY - (sumX) (sumY)) / (NsumX^2 - (sumX)^2)`
Intercept(a) =`(sumY - b(sumX)) / N `

Where
x and y are the variables.
b = the slope of the regression line (also called as regression slope coefficient)
a = the intercept point of the regression line and in the y-axis.
N = Number of values or elements
X = First Score
Y = Second Score
`sumXY` = Sum for the product of the first and Second Scores
`sumX` = Sum of First Scores
`sumY` = Sum of Second Scores
`sumX^2` = Sum of square First Scores. I like to share this Adding and Subtracting Significant Figures with you all through my article.

Regression Slope Coefficient - Example Problem:

Example 1:

Find the regression equation by using the regression slope coefficient value.

For the given data set of data, solve the regression slope coefficient.
Solution:

Let us count the number of values.
N = 6

Determine the values for XY, X2

Determine the following values `sumX` , `sumY` , `sumXY` , `sumX^2` .
`sumX` = 444
`sumY` = 21.4
`sumXY` = 1589.1
`sumX^2` = 32890

Substitute values in the slope formula
Regression Slope coefficient (b) = `(NsumXY - (sumX) (sumY)) / (NsumX^2 - (sumX)^2)`
= `((6)*(1589.1)-(444)*(21.4))/((6)*(32890)-(444)^2)`
= `(9534.6 - 9506.1)/ (197340 - 197136)`
=`28.5/204`
= 0.14
Substitute the values in the intercept formula given.
Intercept (a) = `(sumY - b (sumX)) / N `
=` (21.4 - 0.14(444))/6`
= `(21.4 - 62.16)/6`
= -`40.76/6`

= -6.79

Substitute the Regression coefficient and intercept values in the regression equation
Regression Equation(y) = a + bx
= -6.79 + 0.14x.

Solution:

Regression Slope coefficient (b) = 0.14

Intercept (y) = - 6.79

Regression equation y = - 6.79 + 0.14x.

Determine the approximate value for y:

When x = 75

Substitute the x value into the regression equation

Regression Equation(y) = a + bx
= - 6.79 + 0.14x.

= - 6.79 + 0.14(75)

= - 6.79 + 10.5
y = 3.71

Solution:

y = 3.71

Solve Math Equation Solutions

Introduction to solve math equation solutions:
An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. Equations consist of the expressions that to be equal on opposite sides of an equal sign. (Source: From Wikipedia).

The following rules are used to solve the equation and the equation does not change: Add or subtract any variable or number to the both sides of the equation. Multiply or divide any variable or number to the both sides of the equation. I like to share this Solving Equations Using Addition and Subtraction with you all through my article.

Now, we are going to see some of the problems on how to solve math equations solutions.

Problems to Solve Math Equations Solutions:
Example problem 1:

How to solve an equation for the variable a: a + 23 = 26

Solution:

a + 23 = 26

Subtract 23 on both sides of the equation

a + 23 – 23 = 26 – 23

a = 3

So, the answer is a = 3.

Example problem 2:

How to solve an equation for the variable t:` t / 8 ` = 10

Solution:

`t / 8` = 10

Multiply 8 on both sides of the equation

`(t / 8)` * 8 = 10 * 8

t = 80

So, the answer is t = 80. Is this topic Mathematical Induction hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Few more Problems to Solve Math Equations Solutions:

Example problem 3:

How to solve an equation for the variable m:  5m - 7 = -8

Solution:

5m – 7 = -8

Add 7 on both sides of the equation

5m – 7 + 7 = -8 + 7

5m = -1

Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation

`(5m) / 5 = -1 / 5`

m =` -1 / 5`

So, the answer is m = `-1 / 5` .

Example problem 4:

How to do solve an equation for the variable c:  -2c - 86 = -136

Solution:

-2c - 86 = -136

Add 86 on both sides of the equation

-2c - 86 + 86 = -136 + 86

-2c = -50

Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation

`(-2c) / -2 = (-50) / -2`

c = 25

So, the answer is c = 25.
