The numbers go from $1$1 to $12$12 to show the twelve hours of the \"day\" (from midnight to midday) and the twelve hours of \"night\" (from midday to midnight). However, we know that there are $24$24 hours in a day. So now we are going to look at how to use $24$24 hour time. Basically, instead of going from $1$1 to $12$12, we go from $00:00$00:00 to $23:59$23:59 and count how much time has passed since midnight. When we write the time in $24$24-hour time, it looks a bit like a stop watch - there are two numbers that express the hours and two that express the minutes, so it is in the form\n\nhour hour:minute minute\n\nMidnight to midday\n\n$24$24 hour time starts at midnight, which is written as $00:00$00:00, the start of a new day and $12:00$12:00 would be midday. Everything in between is written in the $hh:mm$hh:mm form described above.\n\nExamples\n\n$00:15$00:15 would be $12:15$12:15 a.m. or \"a quarter past twelve in the morning.\"\n\n$06:25$06:25 would be $6:25$6:25 a.m. or \"twenty-five past six in the morning.\"\n\n$10:45$10:45 would be $10:45$10:45 a.m. or \"a quarter to eleven in the morning.\"\n\nMidday to midnight\n\nThe afternoon is where things start to get a bit different. $1$1 p.m. is an hour after midday ($12$12 p.m.), so we would write this as $13:00$13:00. Similarly, if we wanted to write $6$6 p.m. in $24$24-hour time, we would add $6$6 hours to midday ($12+6=18$12+6=18), so the time would be $18:00$18:00.\n\nQuick tip\n\nIf it's past $12:59$12:59 p.m. simply add $12$12 hours to the time to convert it to $24$24-hour time. Similarly, if a time is after $12:59$12:59 and written in $24$24-hour time, subtract $12$12 hours to convert it back to $12$12 hour time - make sure to write whether it's a.m. or p.m.\n\nExamples\n\n$18:30$18:30 would be $6:30$6:30 p.m. or \"half-past six in the evening.\"\n\n$23:17$23:17 would be $11:17$11:17 p.m. or \"seventeen minutes past eleven in the evening.\"\n\nSummary\n\nThink of time as a timeline like the one below. That will help you convert between $12$12- and $24$24-hour time.\n\nMore Examples\n\nQuestion 1\n\nConvert $1$1$0$0:$4$4$4$4 into $12$12-hour time.\n\n1. $\\editable{}$:$\\editable{}$ am\n\nQUESTION 2\n\nConvert $11$11:$26$26 pm into $24$24-hour time.\n\n1. $\\editable{}$$\\editable{}:\\editable{}$$\\editable{}$\n\nQUESTION 3\n\nConvert $2$2$0$0:$5$5$9$9 into $12$12-hour time.\n\n1. $\\editable{}$:$\\editable{}$ pm\n\nOutcomes\n\nGM4-4\n\nInterpret and use scales, timetables, and charts<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.4375,"string":"4.4375"}}},{"rowIdx":1003,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":630,"string":"630"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"BELOW IS THE SYLLABUS FOR THIS COURSE\nMeasurement Topic 3 The United States becomes a World Power (click image)\nMeasurement Topic 4: The 1920's (click image)\nMeasurement Topic 5: The Great Depression and New Deal (click image)\nMeasurement Topic 6 World War II (Click Image)\nUS History Topic 7: The Cold War (click picture below for link)\nUS History Topic 8: The Civil Rights Movement (click picture below for link)\nThe following link will allow you to access your textbook and other student materials online, with the following code: Name=AVMTCA06 Password=f51rb8vx\nBelow is the work pattern flow chart.\nBelow are examples of media projects and research papers.\nBelow are example plans and essays.\nBELOW ARE THE RUBRICS YOU WILL NEED FOR EACH MEASURMENT TOPIC.\nHere is an example of what a research project might look like.

Parents and adults know that, in spite of their evolving maturity, many teenagers need support and encouragement as they begin take the initiative, act responsibly, and grow in their independence.\nParents and mentors of youth with disabilities have unique opportunities to promote their successful transition to postsecondary education, employment, and full participation in adult activities. Families and mentors assist in the transition process by providing adolescents direction in their exploration of interests, guidance in career and college planning, and encouragement and support.\nThe number of students with disabilities entering and completing postsecondary education has increased dramatically in the last decade, yet people with disabilities are still underrepresented in the employment arena. Barriers to employment include lack of adequate support systems; little access to successful role models; lack of access to technology that can increase independence and productivity; and, most significantly, low expectations on the part of people with whom they interact.\nHigh school students may think they have plenty of time to decide on their career paths and acquire the skills they will need to market themselves successfully. They may also believe that completing a college or job training program will guarantee them a job. This is not true in every situation.\nAs future employees, students with disabilities face unique challenges. Like other students, they need to find a way to meet the specific qualifications of the desired job. They also need to demonstrate transferable skills—in other words, skills acquired through education and previous work experiences that can transfer to a new employment situation. Transferable skills include communication, trouble-shooting, decision-making, leadership, and problem-solving. These are some of the skills that cross jobs, career, and industries. It is never too early to get off to a running start.\nCareer planning and preparation should begin upon entering high school and occur throughout postsecondary studies. Remind students that they do not need to settle on one area to pursue right away, and can change directions. But, they do need to prepare for the long run-for their lifelong career or multiple careers. In today's competitive job market it is essential that students possess skills and relevant job experience that will set them apart from other applicants for a job. One way students can start narrowing career interests and developing job skills is through work-based learning experiences.\nWhy Should Students with Disabilities Participate in Work-based Learning?\nThrough the interaction of study and work experience, students can enhance their academic knowledge, personal development, and professional preparation. Specifically, work-based learning opportunities can help a student:\n- apply practical theories from classroom work\n- clarify academic and career interests\n- develop human relations skills through interaction with co-workers\n- develop job-search skills\n- develop resumes, and cover letters\n- earn academic credit\n- gain contacts for employment after graduation\n- gain exposure to specialized facilities not available on campus\n- identify career assistance programs\n- pay for her or his education\nFor students with disabilities, work-based learning offers additional benefits. Participating in work experience can give them chances to determine if they can perform the essential functions of particular jobs with or without accommodations. In a job setting, students can also practice disclosing their disabilities and requesting accommodations from employers. In addition, they can test which accommodations work best for them. These experiences help students with disabilities develop the confidence and self-advocacy skills needed for success in challenging careers.\nBelow are descriptions of typical activities and services offered at many high schools:\nCooperative education programs work with students, school staff, and employers to help students clarify career and academic goals, and expand classroom study by participating in paid work experiences. Students work in trainee positions in fields of interest and may also earn academic credit.\nSome academic programs allow independent studies as an optional program component. Students work one-on-one with individual teachers to develop projects for credit. Projects can range from research papers to work experience within their field of interest.\nInformational interviews help students gain personal insight into specific careers from people in the field. They meet with people working in their areas of interest to ask questions about occupations, job duties, education requirements, qualifications, and companies.\nAn internship is an intensive learning experience outside the traditional classroom over a short period of time. Students work in a supervised learning situation, paid or non-paid, with an employer doing planned learning activities. Interns learn about occupational fields and specific job tasks, while developing work-readiness.\nJob shadowing provides students with a realistic view of one or more occupations. Students visit a business to observe the everyday functions of their occupational area of interest. Experiences may vary in time from one hour to a full day.\nIn service learning experiences, students provide community service in non-paid, volunteer positions. These programs increase the relevancy of academic learning by giving students opportunities to apply knowledge and skills while making meaningful contributions. Students with service learning requirements should pursue opportunities related to their career interests.\nParents, family members, and mentors can help young people become self-determined and access career preparation resources. They can empower them and reinforce their plans for success. Here are some ways to provide support:\n- Help students identify their vocational strengths and interests—look at hobbies, pastimes, etc.\n- Educate yourself about assistive technology, accommodations, and employment issues.\n- Talk to students about self-advocacy, determining appropriate accommodations, and disclosing their disabilities.\n- Encourage students to develop personal networks of family members, friends, and community contacts to open up opportunities for work-based learning.\n- Parents and guardians should involve themselves in the Individual Education Plans (IEP) of their children and make sure employment preparation activities are included.\n- Learn about available adult services and start preparing students for the transition to independent adulthood.\n- Assist students in accessing local support networks and disability services organizations, such as the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, which may be able to provide career preparation, job placement, and referrals to community programs.\n- Encourage students to visit the counseling, advising, or career center at their high schools. They may provide a variety of career preparation and job search services. Students can develop career plans and job search skills through individual counseling and workshops.\n- Investigate School-to-Work programs, such as Tech Prep and High School/High Tech. Tech Prep education is a planned sequence of study in a technical field beginning early in high school. Some Tech Prep courses may be articulated with coursework at local community colleges.\n- Contact your State Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities for information about High School/High Tech, a partnership that combines site tours, job shadowing, internships, and mentoring to encourage students with disabilities to pursue careers in the technology industry.\n- Assist students in developing mentoring relationships through family and employment contacts or through disability agencies.\n- If necessary, provide transportation support to allow students to participate in work-based learning experiences.\nThe World Wide Web houses a wide variety of information, including information about jobs, career preparation, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Following a 3 billion mile trip, New Horizons has awaken from its hibernation and is now ready to start gathering data about Pluto.\n“We’ve completed the longest journey any craft has flown from Earth to reach its primary target, and we are ready to begin exploring!” Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator from Southwest Research Institute, said in a NASA statement.\nIndeed, the name New Horizons is a very fitting name. The mission will reveal information about a class of planets we have no direct observations of, and of which we know very little.\n“New Horizons is on a journey to a new class of planets we’ve never seen, in a place we’ve never been before. For decades we thought Pluto was this odd little body on the planetary outskirts; now we know it’s really a gateway to an entire region of new worlds in the Kuiper Belt, and New Horizons is going to provide the first close-up look at them”, project leader Hal Weaver said.\nNew Horizons is well equipped for this mission – its scientific instruments include spectrometers (a Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera with a near-infrared imaging spectrometer, an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer and Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation), direct imagers, a dust analyzer and a radio science experiment. These instruments will gather continuous data on the interplanetary environment where the planetary system orbits,\nWe’ll keep you posted with developments and information as New Horizons sends it in.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.84375,"string":"3.84375"}}},{"rowIdx":1006,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1418,"string":"1,418"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# ABB Aptitude Questions\n\nPosted on :11-04-2016\n\nQ1. The total cost of 8 buckets and 5 mugs is Rs. 92 and the total cost of 5 buckets and 8 mugs is Rs. 77.

Let us discuss in detail rounding off larger numbers with some examples. Make use of this page to learn the concept of rounding larger numbers and score the best grades in the exams.\n\n## Rounding Large Numbers – Definition\n\nIt is difficult to Round Off Large or Complex Numbers. The Roundoff numbers will not give the exact value. The concept of Rounding Numbers will help the students to do mental math calculations. If the number nearest to the place is 5 or greater than 5, then the number is rounded up. If the number nearest to the place is 5 or less than 5, then the number is rounded down.\n\n### How to Round Big Numbers?\n\nThere are some steps to round off the large numbers. The below steps will help you to write the numbers nearest to hundred thousand, million, etc.\n1. If the number you are rounding off is greater than 5 then you have to round the given number up.\n2. If the number you are rounding off is less than 5 then you have to round the given number down.\n3. All the numbers to the right of the place are rounding off to become zero.\n\n### Rounding Off to the Nearest Ten Thousand\n\nIf the digit in the thousands place is less than 5 then round to the nearest multiple of ten thousand which is smaller than the given value. If the digit in the thousands place in a number is greater than 5 such as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then round the given number to the nearest multiple of ten thousand.\nExample:\nRound off 46238 to the nearest ten thousand.\n\nSolution:\nThe number in the thousands place is greater than 5.\nSo, we have to round off the number up.\nThus the number 46238 to the nearest ten thousand is 50000.\n\n### Rounding Off to the Nearest Hundred Thousand (100,000)\n\nIf the digit in the ten thousand place is less than 5 such as 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0, then we have to round the given number to the nearest multiple of hundred thousand. If the digit in the ten thousand places is greater than 5 such as 6, 7, 8, 9 then you have to round the given number to the nearest multiple of a hundred thousand. Therefore to round off the numbers to the nearest hundred thousand we have to see the ten thousand place.\n\nExample:\nRound off 285648 to the nearest hundred thousand.\n\nSolution:\nHere the ten thousand place is greater than 5, so we have to round up the given to the hundred thousand.\nThe number 285648 to the nearest hundred thousand is 300000.\n\n### Rounding Off to the Nearest Million (1,000,000)\n\nIf the digit in the hundred thousand’s place is less than 5 that is 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 then we have to round the given value to the nearest multiple of one million.\nIf the given digit in the hundred thousand place is greater than 5 such as 5, 6, 7, 9 then we have to round off the given value to the nearest multiple of one million. So, in order to round larger number that is nearest million we have to go through hundred thousand place.\n\nExample:\nRound off 4286261 to the nearest million.\n\nSolution:\nNow we have to round off the given number to the nearest million.\nFirst, you have to check the hundred thousand place.\nThe number in the hundred thousand place is 2.\nHere 2 is less than 5.\nSo, rounding 4286261 is 4000000.\n\n### Rounding the Given Number to the Nearest Ten Million (10,000,000)\n\nIf the number in the one million place is less than 5 such as 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 then you have to round the given number to the nearest multiple of 10 million which is less than the given number.\nIf the number in one million place is greater than 5 such as 6, 7, 8, 9 then we have to round off the given number to the nearest multiple of 10 million which is greater than the given number.\nSo, to round off the given number to the nearest ten million we have to check out the one million place.\n\nExample:\nRound off 17364134 to the nearest ten million.\n\nSolution:\nGiven,\n17364134\nwe have to check the number in one million place.\nThe digit in the one million place is 7 which is greater than 5.\nSo, the estimated or rounded number will be greater than the given number.\nSo, the number 17364134 nearest to ten million is 20000000.\n\n### Examples on Rounding Large Numbers\n\nGo through the below examples and know-how to round larger numbers.\n\nExample 1.\nRound the number 71,124 to the nearest ten thousand.\nSolution:\nGiven number 71,124.\nTo find the nearest ten thousand we have to check the thousands place.\nIf the digit in the thousands place is less than 5 then round to the nearest multiple of ten thousand which is smaller than the given value.\nIf the digit in the thousands place in a number is greater than 5 such as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then round the given number to the nearest multiple of ten thousand.\nThe digit in the thousands place is 1.\nSo, the number 71,124 to the nearest ten thousand is 70,000.\n\nExample 2.\nRound the number 89,624 to the nearest ten thousand.\nSolution:\nGiven number 89,624.\nTo find the nearest ten thousand we have to check the thousands place.\nIf the digit in the thousands place is less than 5 then round to the nearest multiple of ten thousand which is smaller than the given value.\nIf the digit in the thousands place in a number is greater than 5 such as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then round the given number to the nearest multiple of ten thousand.\nThe digit in the thousands place is 1.\nSo, the number 89,624 to the nearest ten thousand is 90,000.\n\nExample 3.\nRound off the number 435,343 to the nearest hundred thousand place.\nSolution:\nGiven the number 435,343.\nIf the digit in the ten thousand place is less than 5 such as 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0, then we have to round the given number to the nearest multiple of hundred thousand.\nIf the digit in the ten thousand places is greater than 5 such as 6, 7, 8, 9 then you have to round the given number to the nearest multiple of a hundred thousand. Therefore to round off the numbers to the nearest hundred thousand we have to see the ten thousand place.\nHere 3 is less than 5 so the round off number will be less than the given number.\n\nExample 4.\nRound off the number 5,838,520 to the nearest million place.\nSolution:\nNow we have to round off the given number to the nearest million.\nFirst, you have to check the hundred thousand place.\nThe number in the hundred thousand place is 2.\nHere 2 is less than 5.\nSo, rounding 5,838,520 is 6,000,000.\n\nExample 5.\nRound off the number 51,514,311 to the nearest ten million place.\nSolution:\nwe have to check the number in one million place.\nThe digit in the one million place is 7 which is greater than 5.\nSo, the estimated or rounded number will be greater than the given number.\nSo, the number 51,514,311 nearest to ten million is 50000000.\n\n### FAQs on Rounding Large Numbers\n\n1. How do you round millions to the nearest thousand?\n\nTo round a number to the nearest 1000, look at the hundreds digit. If the hundreds digit is 5 or more, round up. If the hundreds digit is 4 or less, round down.\n\n2. How do you round numbers to the nearest 10000?\n\nThe rule for rounding to the nearest ten thousand is to look at the last four digits. If the last four digits are 5,000 or greater, then we round our ten thousands digit up, and if it is less than 5,000, then we keep our ten thousands digit the same.\n\n3. How do you round big numbers to the nearest whole number?\n\nTo round a number to the nearest whole number, you have to look at the first digit after the decimal point. If this digit is less than 5 we don’t have to do anything, but if the digit is 5 or greater we must round up.\n\nScroll to Top\nScroll to Top<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.71875,"string":"4.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1009,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":623,"string":"623"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"### Solution\n\n```Propositional Satisfiability\n A compound proposition is satisfiable if there is an\nassignment of truth values to its variables that make it\ntrue.

Dr. Marc Saurette lent us his wisdom on medieval examples of chivalry, and how the context of the middle ages has made them a heroic symbol. One of our readings for this week paid particular attention to the extremist group the Ku Klux Klan, or the KKK. The KKK is known for seeing themselves as heroes and have adopted the idea of being ‘New Crusaders’, like those from the medieval past.\nThe first responders this week dedicated a lot of attention to the KKK reading, most likely because it was both the shortest, most comprehensible, and the most relevant reading assigned for the week. With the rise of Donald Trump, white nationalism groups such as this have made a profound return to the public eye. This made us begin to think about our own national identity, as the majority of our class is or most likely identifies as white. In Canada, however, we have a very large multicultural population to consider, many of whom are throughly Canadian. This has lead us to wonder what Canadian nationalism is and if we have one like other countries do.

Answer: 3 * 13\n\nThe prime factorization of 39 has 2 prime factors. If you multiply all primes in the factorization together then 39=3 * 13. Prime factors can only have two factors(1 and itself) and only be divisible by those two factors. Any number where this rule applies can be called a prime factor. The biggest prime factor of 39 is 13. The smallest prime factor of 39 is 3.\n\n## How To Write 39 As A Product Of Prime Factors\n\nHow to write 39 as a product of prime factors or in exponential notation?

Next we add all numbers that are repeating more than once as exponents of these numbers.\n\nUsing exponential notation we can write 39=31*131\n\nFor clarity all readers should know that 39=3 * 13=31*131 this index form is the right way to express a number as a product of prime factors.\n\n## Prime Factorization Of 39 With Upside Down Division Method\n\nPrime factorization of 39 using upside down division method. Upside down division gives visual clarity when writing it on paper. It works by dividing the starting number 39 with its smallest prime factor(a figure that is only divisible with itself and 1). Then we continue the division with the answer of the last division. We find the smallest prime factor for each answer and make a division. We are essentially using successive divisions. This continues until we get an answer that is itself a prime factor. Then we make a list of all the prime factors that were used in the divisions and we call it prime factorization of 39.\n\n3|39 We divide 39 with its smallest prime factor, which is 3\n13 The division of 3/39=13. 13 is a prime factor. Prime factorization is complete\n\nThe solved solution using upside down division is the prime factorization of 39=3 * 13. Remember that all divisions in this calculation have to be divisible, meaning they will leave no remainder.\n\n## Mathematical Properties Of Integer 39 Calculator\n\n39 is a composite figure. 39 is a composite number, because it has more divisors than 1 and itself. It is not even. 39 is not an even number, because it can't be divided by 2 without leaving a comma spot. This also means that 39 is an odd number. When we simplify Sin 39 degrees we get the value of sin(39)=0.96379538628409. Simplify Cos 39 degrees. The value of cos(39)=0.26664293235994. Simplify Tan 39 degrees.

The second in the primes sequence, after 2 and before 5, the first to also be Euclidean (3=2+1). One of the primes of Mersenne(3=2²-1), Fermat and Sophie Germain. Three is a component of Ulam, Wedderburn-Etherington, Perrin, Wagstaff. It is integer-free and a triangular number. The fourth issue of the Fibonacci sequence, after 2 and before 5. Belonging to the first Pythagorean terna (3,4,5). The third value of the succession of Lucas, after 1 and before 4. In the numerical decimal system 3 is a Colombian figure. In the binary system they call it a palindrome.\n• Integer 9 properties: 9 is odd and the square of 3. It is a composite, with the following divisors:1, 3, 9. Since the quantity of the divisors(excluding itself) is 4<9, it is a defective number. In mathematics nine is a perfect total, suitable and a Kaprekar figure. Any amount is divisible by 9 if and only if the quantity of its digits is. Being divisible by the count of its divisors, it is refactorizable. Each natural is the sum of at most 9 cubes. If any sum of the digits that compose it is subtracted from any natural, a multiple of 9 is obtained. The first odd square and the last single-digit quantity. In the binary system it is a palindrome. Part of the Pythagorean triples (9, 12, 15), (9, 40, 41). A repeated number in the positional numbering system based on 8. Nine is a Colombian digit in the numerical decimal system. If multiplied 9 always leads back to itself: 2×9=18 → 1+8=9, 3×9=27 → 2+7=9 in the same way if you add a number to 9, the result then refers to the initial digit: 7+9=16 → 1+6=7, 7+9+9=25 → 2+5=7, 7+9+9+9=34 → 3+4=7. If you put 111111111 in the square (ie 1 repeated 9 times) you get the palindrome 12345678987654321, also if you add all the numbers obtained: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 you get 81, and in turn 8 + 1 = 9.\n\n## Finding Prime Factorization Of A Number\n\nThe prime factorization of 39 contains 2 primes. The prime factorization of 39 is and equals 3 * 13. This answer was calculated using the upside down division method. We could have also used other methods such as a factor tree to arrive to the same answer. The method used is not important. What is important is to correctly solve the solution.\n\n## List of divisibility rules for finding prime factors faster\n\nKnowing these divisibility rules will help you find primes more easily. Finding prime factors faster helps you solve prime factorization faster.\n\nRule 1: If the last digit of a number is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 then it is an even integer. All even integers are divisible by 2.\n\nRule 2: If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3 then the figure is also divisible by 3 and 3 is a prime factor(example: the digits of 102 are 1, 0 and 2 so 1+0+2=3 and 3 is divisible by 3, meaning that 102 is divisible by 3). The same logic works also for number 9.\n\nRule 3: If the last two digits of a number are 00 then this number is divisible by 4(example: we know that 212=200+12 and 200 has two zeros in the end making it divisible with 4. We also know that 4 is divisible with 12). In order to use this rule to it's fullest it is best to know multiples of 4.\n\nRule 4: If the last digit of a integer is 0 or 5 then it is divisible by 5. We all know that 2*5=10 which is why the zero is logical.\n\nRule 5: All numbers that are divisible by both 2 and 3 are also divisible by 6. This makes much sense because 2*3=6.\n\n## What Is Prime Factorization Of A Number?\n\nIn mathematics breaking down a composite number(a positive integer that can be the sum of two smaller numbers multiplied together) into a multiplication of smaller figures is called factorization. When the same process is continued until all numbers have been broken down into their prime factor multiplications then this process is called prime factorization.\n\nUsing prime factorization we can find all primes contained in a number.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.5625,"string":"4.5625"}}},{"rowIdx":1013,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1372,"string":"1,372"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Subscribe to our Youtube Channel - https://you.tube/teachoo\n\n1.

For example, when you want to use the normal to approximate a binomial.\nAccording to the Central Limit Theorem, the sample mean of a distribution becomes approximately normal if the sample size is “large enough.” for example, the binomial distribution can be approximated with a normal distribution as long as n*p and n*q are both at least 5. Here,\n- n = how many items are in your sample,\n- p = probability of an event (e.g. 60%),\n- q = probability the event doesn’t happen (100% – p).\nThe continuity correction factor accounts for the fact that a normal distribution is continuous, and a binomial is not. When you use a normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution, you’re going to have to use a continuity correction factor. It’s as simple as adding or subtracting .5 to the discrete x-value: use the following table to decide whether to add or subtract.\nContinuity Correction Factor Table\nIf P(X=n) use P(n – 0.5 < X < n + 0.5)\nIf P(X > n) use P(X > n + 0.5)\nIf P(X ≤ n) use P(X < n + 0.5)\nIf P (X < n) use P(X < n – 0.5)\nIf P(X ≥ n) use P(X > n – 0.5)\nLet’s make the table a bit more concrete by using x = 6 as an example. The column on the left shows what you’re looking for (e.g. the probability that x = 6), while the right-hand column shows what happens to 6 after the continuity correction factor has been applied.\nContinuity Correction Factor Example\nThe following example shows a worked problem where you’ll actually use the continuity correction factor to solve a probability problem using the z-table.\nSample problem: If n = 20 and p = .25, what is the probability that X ≥ 8?\nStep 1: Figure out if your sample size is “large enough”. Start by working out n*p and n*q:\nnp = 20 * .25 = 5 (note: this is also the mean x̄)\nnq = 20 * .75 = 15\nThese are both over 5, so we can use the continuity correction factor.\nStep 2: Find the variance of the binomial distribution:\nn*p*q = 20 * .25 * .75 = 3.75\nSet this number aside for a moment. You’ll use this value in Step 4 to find a z-score.\nStep 3: Use the continuity correction factor on the X value. For this example, we have a greater than or equals sign (≥), so the table tells us:\nP(X ≥ n) use P(X > n – 0.5)\nX ≥ 8 becomes X ≥ 7.5.\nStep 4: Find the z-score. You’ll need all three values from above:\n- The mean (x̄) from Step 1,\n- The variance (s) from Step 2,\n- The Xi value from Step 3.\nStep 5: Look up Step 4 in the z-table.\n1.29 = .4015.\nWhy is the continuity correction factor used?\nWhile the normal distribution is continuous (it includes all real numbers), the binomial distribution can only take integers. The small correction is an allowance for the fact that you’re using a continuous distribution.\nCheck out our Youtube channel, where you’ll find tons of videos to help with stats.------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nNeed help with a homework or test question?

Over the past several decades, innovative agriculturists have been working to bring farms closer to consumers. Vertical farming is one way used by growers to bring fruits and vegetables closer to your table.\nTraditionally, farming has always required vast amounts of space and water to grow produce. Farms are not ideally situated near burgeoning cities for a variety of reasons. Urbanization and changing zoning restrictions can force regular farms near cities to shut down. As a result, most agricultural facilities are built farther from population centers.\nThe use of space in cities has gravitated towards vertical rather than horizontal. Residential and commercial buildings are built tall to maximize the space requirements of a growing population. Available space is minimal. Vertical farming capitalizes on this reality to produce food within city limits.\nWhat is Vertical Farming?\nAgriculturist and author Gilbert Bailey coined the term “vertical farming”. He was referencing the vertical nature of plant growth. At present, vertical farming refers to growing plants on stacked layers.\nVertical farming uses shelves which can be suspended on fences, walls, or stacked to grow produce. Most vertical farms make use of hydroponics, a method of growing where plants are grown in nutrient-rich water. Another common method is aeroponics, where the roots of plants are regularly sprayed with nutrients and water.\nThese methods are often complemented with artificial or natural light to spur photosynthesis and are implemented with the aid of technology for improved monitoring.\nHow is it implemented?\nVertical farming is implemented in a variety of ways. A number of which are quite interesting. An example would be the inclusion of vertical farms in the design and management of mixed-use skyscrapers. Developers build these types of high-rise residential buildings to encourage residents to grow their own food based on community and personal requirements. However, these aren’t meant to grow produce on a commercial level.\nCompanies have also developed innovative ways to implement vertical farming in non-agricultural locations. Agriculturists are now using vertical farming methodologies in used shipping containers. Companies can move and stack the containers in urban locations. Some companies remotely monitor the growth of produce via computer vision and neural networks.\nCritics of vertical farming systems, however, are quick to point out perceived flaws in this form of production.\nOpponents argue that gains from VF logistical advantages are still not enough. They contend that the added costs brought about by the need to use additional power for artificial light, climate control, and monitoring systems. In locations that rely on environmentally unfriendly energy sources, this is said to be a net detriment. This also adds to the idea that VF is cost-ineffective.\nWhat are the benefits?\nAside from decreasing the travel time between farms and dining tables, proponents of vertical farming claim that their method provides other benefits as well.\nProduce grown in vertical farming conditions are independent of external weather. This makes them less vulnerable to strong wind, flooding, and heat waves.\nProponents also claim that their methods are environmentally sustainable. They cite the use of modern techniques such as the integration of natural lighting and the use of water recapture methods which significantly decreases water consumption to support their claim.\nAll of this and more, despite its perceived inefficiencies, may still be worth exploring. The world’s rapidly growing population, scarcity and rising prices of food remain tangible issues. New developments in vertical farming may provide solutions to these problems.\nYouTube: Growing Up – How Vertical Farming Works | The B1M\nPhoto credit: The feature image has been done by CityofStPete.

In her lavishly illustrated new book, Globes: 400 years of exploration, navigation, and power, Sumira traces the history and making of globes and showcases dozens of fine examples drawn largely from the collection of the British Library.\nContrary to the popular misconception that nobody knew the Earth was round before Columbus, the ancient Greeks described the making of globes (in verse, no less) in the third century B.C. The oldest surviving globe dates back to 150 A.D. But they really took off between about 1500 and 1900, and it's this period that's the focus of Globes.\nThere are records of globes being brought on ships during the age of exploration, but they probably weren't used for navigation, Sumira says. For one thing, any globe that's small enough to be brought onboard would have to be scaled down to the point of being useless for charting a course on the high seas. \"They're more a symbol of navigation than a tool for navigation,\" she said. In the book, she writes that in the 17th century, globes were sold as \"handsome objects of status and prestige to a comfortable merchant class.\"\nNot that ancient globes don't convey some useful information. Much of it is contained in the horizon ring that surrounds many of them. Concentric circles printed or engraved on the ring indicate the degrees of the compass, the months of the year, zodiac signs, and sometimes information about winds. They can be used, for example, to determine the sunrise and sunset on a given day of the year, Sumira says. \"Most of the globes were like little calculating machines.\"\nSeveral globes in the book come in pairs: one terrestrial, one celestial. \"The constellations were very much used for navigational purposes,\" Sumira says, so being able to study pairs like this would have been very instructive for mariners in training. The celestial globes sometimes look like someone let the animals out of the zoo: the stars that make up a constellation are overlaid on the figure that gives it its name – a lion for Leo, a big bear for Ursa Major and so on.\nGetting your bearings with the celestial globes is a little tricky. It helps if you pretend you're God, looking down at the heavens from on high. The earth would be a dot inside the center of the globe. From this view, the constellations are mirror images of how they appear from Earth.\nAmong Sumira's favorites are the pocket globes. \"They're just delightful little things,\" she said. The smallest is just 1.5 inches in diameter. Many come in a wood or leather case that opens up to reveal a terrestrial globe that can be taken out. The concave surface of the case often contains a matching celestial globe.\nThe images in this gallery include several of Sumira's favorites.

The story of Jamestown is told in a much more authentic, elaborate style than our textbooks has presented. As Kupperman points out, Jamestown was not only important to United State’s history but also to British history. From the motivations to the lasting effects, she gives an accurate account of all components involved in Jamestown. Also, there is a chapter devoted to the Native American experience, which shows a non-Western view of events.\nThe book is written in a format that is easily read but also compacted with information. More importantly she puts Jamestown in its right place in United State’s and British history, as the foundation of colonial United States and the British Empire. In this book, Kupperman is telling a well-known event in remarkable detail. She intentionally uses last three chapters of the nine to tell the Jamestown’s history. The first six are in relation to how Jamestown came to be.\nDon’t waste your time!\nOrder your assignment!\nThe first chapter deals with political, national and religious conflicts during this period and how it motivated the English to venture West. The second is titled,” Adventurers, Opportunities, and Improvisation. ” The highlight of this chapter is the story of John Smith, and how his precious experience enabled him to save “the Jamestown colony from certain ruin. ” (51) He is just an example of the “many whose first experiences along these lines were Africa or the eastern Mediterranean later turned their acquired skills to American ventures. (43) Chapter three discusses the European and Native American interaction before and during this period. “North America’s people had had extensive and intimate experience of Europeans long before colonies was thought of, and through this experience they had come to understand much about the different kind of people across the sea. ” (73) This exchange of information happened because a lot of Europeans lived among the Natives (not as colonist or settlers), and Natives were brought back to Europe. The people in Europe were very fascinated with these new people and their culture.\nChapter four analyzes this fascination. It starts off talking about Thomas Trevilian, an author of “an elaborate commonplace book,” that showed “the English public was keenly interested in the world and in understanding how to categorize the knowledge about all the new things, people, and cultures of which specimens and descriptions were now available to them. “(109-110) Their thirst for learning about the new was quenched by frequent plays, narratives and other writings by colonist, and “cabinets of curiosities,” early version of museums.\nThe fifth chapter examines the effect geography, climate and more importantly the naming of the areas in the colonial era. ” The power to apply a name and make it stick implied ownership and control. ” (147) Also, it discusses the climate and weather affect on Jamestown and the world’s relation. It talks about the ” Little Ice Age,” and how the “colder temperatures were compounded by unprecedented drought throughout North America in the period of contact and the first settlement. ” (171) Chapter six contrast Jamestown with other British colonies in Ireland, the West Indies, Guiana, Roanoke, Newfoundland, and New England.\nShe focus on Ireland because the colonization of Ireland taught the English how “to transfer a social order and to transform the native population. ” (208) The first year of Jamestown existence is the focus of chapter seven. It’s name, “Uncertain Beginnings” gives insight to the first year of Jamestown. The settlers had to learn how to survive in this new environment; they relied on the Natives for help. In chapter eight, talks about the lack of food because of the Little Ace and reforms made to support the colony. Also, it talks about the trip Pocahantas’ took to England.\nChapter nine deals with the maturity of Jamestown. It examines how a boom in population and the result of the reforms caused Jamestown to mature. The Jamestown Project conveys two fundamental points, which can be found in the first and last chapters. The first is other multiple factors affected Jamestown’s success. Secondly, Jamestown was the foundation of United States and the model for all other British colonies. The first chapter is named, “Elizabethan England Engages the World, where it discusses the initial struggle to gain control.\nWithin this chapter, she discusses the religious wars and England’s intrusion upon the Iberian control under Queen Elizabeth’s reign. Religion was a major factor in British expansion. After the Roman Empire, Christianity, particularly Roman Catholicism, was the prevalent religion in all of Western Europe. The beginning of the chapter states how the Europeans associated all things with Bible. When the Native Americans come along, “European natural historians rushed to try to comprehend the species and the environment of this newly revealed different world in order to achieve the understanding that was a part of God’s plan. (13) Different Christian denominations interpreted “God’s plan” differently. After the Reformation, Europe was split into Catholics and Protestants with Spain and England leading the pact. Just as the Spaniards thought it was important to expand the Christendom under Catholicism, the England wanted to expand it under Protestantism. Also, England wanted to get colonies “as a way to gain the resources required to defend their own positions at home. ” (18) Despite their efforts, the British had difficulty breaking into the Iberian control. [They] had to confront Iberian control in two regions: from the Portuguese in Africa and the Spanish in the West Indies. ” (29) Piracy was legalized as form of privateering, which allowed them to get a foothold in the Atlantic world. Legalized piracy allowed pirates to steal the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch goods. They began to support the Low Countries and later the Ottoman Empire against the Spaniards. The printing of Las Casa’s document helped to discredit the Spanish. Also, England was able to get information from a claimant to the thrown of Portugal, who was in the run in Paris.\nAll of these factors with Spain’s internal problem help England to gain power and Spain to lose theirs. In the last chapter she talks about how Jamestown was able to sustain itself despite the prevalent problems. The “Thirty Years War,” the introduction of African slaves and headright system, and indentured servants helped Jamestown to become successful. In addition to those factors, “conditions at home [England] …. made emigration more attractive both for those financing it and those seeking new opportunities. ” (292) As a result, the population boomed along with the economy.\nThe introduction is called the “creation myth” where Kupperman dicusses the issue of Jamestown’s place in United States’ history. When we think of United States’ history, the story of Thanksgiving comes to mind. Peaceful pilgrims interacting with docile Native Americans coming together eat with each other. Instead of coming in search of religious freedom, the Jamestown settlers and supporters were greedy. Those perceptions are much more appealing and suitable than the avaricious colonist and their English supporters. Chapter nine makes it clear that Plymouth Colony preceded Jamestown.\nTheir plan for the New England colony “was drawn from analysis of Virginia’s record. ” And the later success of Jamestown and Massachusetts Bay colonies proves that the model was successful and Britain used it from that point on. One of the book’s strong points is Kupperman understand the importance of an Atlantic perspective. She incorporates the Native American experience and external events involving the Ottoman Empire with the analysis of Jamestown place in history. The book starts off towards the end of the Iberian rule, and how England began to compete in the Atlantic world through piracy.\nRoanoke, the first English North American settlement, was created to function as a rest stop or storage. To complete the triangle trade, she discusses English attempts to trade with Africa and how the Dutch trade brought the first African slaves into the colony. The only thing I would have liked to have seen, is her to go more elaborately into examples of Britain using the Jamestown projects in his other colonies. She references it a lot and leaves it as the books last sentence but doesn’t go into detail about as she did every other theme in the book.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.75,"string":"3.75"}}},{"rowIdx":1020,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":594,"string":"594"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Hotter summer temperatures in Greenland can speed up the seaward flow of the islands massive ice-sheet in just weeks, new research shows. Previously, scientists believed that temperature changes at the surface of an ice sheet would take hundreds, if not thousands of years to affect the bottom of the sheet and speed up the flow of ice.\nBut now researchers have found that the Greenland ice-sheet slides faster during the summer immediately after a rise in surface melting. As soon as the melting stops at the end of the summer, the ice-sheet slows back down.\nThe rapid response could be caused by meltwater at the surface running directly to the base of the glacier through crevasses and tunnels known as moulins. The water lubricates the contact between ice and bedrock, allowing the sheet to slide faster toward the ocean.\nThis process has been known to boost the speed of alpine glaciers, but has not been considered for large ice-sheets before, says lead author of the study, Jay Zwally of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.\n“It’s something that’s never been seen before,” says geophysicist Shawn Marshall of the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. Scientists have been sceptical about whether water could get to the base of the 1.2 km-thick ice-sheet, says Marshall. “This is pretty convincing.”\nThe team also found that the hotter the summer, the faster the ice flows. Using GPS measurements, Zwally and his colleagues found that during the low-melt summer of 1996, the ice-sheet sped up by 1.5 cm a day compared to winter rates. But the hotter, high-melt summers of 1998 and 1999 saw increases of 8.8 and 7.3 cm a day respectively.\nOver the past two decades, summertime temperatures in Greenland have risen by about 0.25 °C. Furthermore, the portion of the ice-sheet surface that experiences melting in the summer has increased by nearly 20 per cent during that time. “Just how this may translate into increases in sea level is something we need additional research on,” says Zwally.\nWith increased temperatures, the ice-sheet is expected to thin more rapidly at the edges. But it will also get more snow helping it to grow faster at the centre. “We don’t know how much precipitation has been changing,” he says.\nTo answer this question, NASA plans to launch a satellite in December 2002 called ICESat. It will precisely measure the elevation changes on the ice-sheet with laser altimetry to determine how snow accumulation is changing. These measurements will help reveal whether the ice-sheet is shrinking overall and how much that might contribute to sea level rise.\nJournal reference: Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1072708)<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.1875,"string":"4.1875"}}},{"rowIdx":1021,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":842,"string":"842"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"In a bid to predict the threat to satellites from space debris, the European Space Agency is teaming up with a pair of physicists who spend their time smashing eggshells.\nThis improbable collaboration is founded on the idea that eggshells and discarded pieces of space rockets will break up in a similar way.\nAfter a rocket has lifted its payload into space, the final stage and its fuel tanks are often abandoned. If a micrometeoroid or piece of space debris penetrates the tank, the dregs can ignite, causing an explosion that shatters the rocket body and creates a cloud of debris.\nSince the space age began in the 1950s, there have been almost 200 explosions in orbit, just under half of which involved old rocket bodies.\nThe resulting debris poses a threat to orbiting craft. Pieces as small as 1 centimetre across could destroy a satellite, according to Heiner Klinkrad, an expert in space debris at ESA in Darmstadt, Germany. But no one knows how many fragments there are, and what orbit they are in.\nKlinkrad was wondering how ESA could improve its estimates of the whereabouts of this debris when serendipity struck. On a TV show last Easter, he saw a couple of physicists exploding empty eggshells and explaining how the way they fragmented could mimic what happens to brittle structures like planes when they blow up.\nIt occurred to Klinkrad that rocket bodies should behave similarly. In their experiments the two physicists, Falk Wittel from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and Ferenc Kun from the University of Debrecen in Hungary, first poke small holes in each end of a raw hen’s egg, blow out its contents, and fill the empty shell with hydrogen.\nThey then suspend it upright inside a plastic bag and ignite the hydrogen escaping from the hole at the top of the egg. As air is drawn in at the bottom of the eggshell, it mixes with the hydrogen inside the egg, which eventually explodes. The pair then collect the shards from the bag and measure their size.\nThough there are obvious differences in shape and size, an eggshell and an old rocket stage are both little more than a thin, brittle shell enclosing a large volume of potentially explosive gas. The frigid cold in space increases the brittleness of the rocket body, so like an eggshell it breaks by cracking into pieces rather than deforming.\nMore than 8500 pieces of space debris bigger than 10 centimetres across are being tracked by the world’s space agencies. In a bid to estimate the danger from fragments in the 1 to 10-centimetre range, ESA ran experiments in the early 1990s in which rocket fuel was used to blow up metal cylinders in an underground bunker.\nThey found the distribution of the size of the fragments followed a power law: most of the material ended up in intermediate-size shards, with many small pieces and few large ones.\nThe mass distribution of the eggshell fragments in Wittel and Kun’s experiments followed a similar power law, Klinkrad says, indicating that exploding eggs really do behave like shattered rocket bodies.\nBut the size of the fragments of space debris is only half the story. ESA also needs to know in what orbits they are likely to lie, and here Wittel and Kun’s latest work, which they will report in a forthcoming edition of Physical Review Letters, should help.\nThey have developed a predictive computer model based on their egg fragmentation data. The model represents the brittle shell as a dense network of nodes connected by elastic springs. An explosion inside the shell sets the springs vibrating, and if a spring is stretched too much it breaks.\nThis starts a crack, which then grows and spreads as more springs break, until the whole shell has shattered into pieces. Using the model, the pair are able to predict not only the number and size of the fragments, but, crucially, how fast they fly out. This, Klinkrad says, will help ESA pin down what orbit the debris from exploding space junk is likely to have ended up in.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.984375,"string":"3.984375"}}},{"rowIdx":1022,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1266,"string":"1,266"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"While they may only constitute approximately 4% of total body weight, the importance of minerals in maintaining health and wellbeing cannot be underestimated. Here are some healthy tips to help you to maximise your absorption of minerals, and some helpful food sources where you can find these important nutrients.\nWhat are minerals?\nMinerals are materials found in our environment; in soil, fruits and vegetables and other foods, and are essential to the functioning of many bodily processes. Based on their requirements in the body, minerals may be classed as macrominerals or microminerals. The macrominerals that have daily requirements typically greater than 100mg per day include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride. Microminerals, also known as trace minerals, include iron, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, iodine, manganese, molybdenum and boron, and have daily requirements ranging from less than 1mg to 100mg per day.\nImportance of minerals to human health\nIn the body, minerals are vital for many processes including:\n- muscle contraction\n- blood clotting\n- enzyme activation\n- protein and collagen synthesis\n- nerve transmission, pH regulation\n- electrolyte and water regulation\n- insulin signalling, immune function\n- hormone synthesis, oxygen transportation\n- cellular growth\n- cofactors in enzyme systems\n- structural components of bone and teeth.\nFactors that effect the absorption of minerals\nMany Australians are deficient in minerals, in particular iron and calcium. This may be due to poor dietary intake, as well as farming and agricultural methods, including the use of fertilisers, which affect the mineral balance of the soil, and in turn the food we consume.[2,3] Minerals cannot be endogenously synthesised by the body; they must be consumed through the diet, and some individuals may experience mineral malabsorption.\nAs minerals are needed for growth and development, as well as other processes, some individuals have an increased need for minerals. These can include iron, calcium and zinc. For example:\n- infants and young children\n- pregnant and breastfeeding women\n- vegans, vegetarians or those on restrictive diets\n- some people with digestive problems e.g. coeliac disease\n- the elderly, who often experience difficulties absorbing nutrients and a poor diet.3\nWays to maximise your absorption of minerals\n- Eat a wide variety of mineral-rich foods.\n- Try to eat local fruit and vegetables produced on a smaller scale, than those produced en masse, as this produce may have had excessive fertiliser used for its production.\n- Some vitamins help the absorption of minerals, for example, vitamin C helps the absorption of iron-rich foods. Use ‘food combining’ to help this process along e.g. eat a vitamin-C rich tomato or capsicum alongside that steak!\n- Try to maintain a healthy digestive tract to maximise your absorption of minerals from your foods e.g. eat fermented or probiotic-rich foods such as sauerkraut, yoghurt and kombucha. Ask your healthcare professional for more tips.\nFood sources of minerals\n- Iron: almonds, apricots, avocado, oysters, parsley, pine nuts, soybeans, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, poultry and red meat, organ meats, yeast.\n- Calcium: almonds, broccoli, buckwheat, fair products, egg yolk, green leafy vegetables, molasses, sardines, soybeans, turnips.\n- Zinc: beef, brewer’s yeast, capsicum, egg yolks, ginger, herrings, liver, dairy milk, lamb, oysters, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, seafood, wholegrains, yeast.\n- Magnesium: almonds, barley, brewer’s yeast, cashews, cocoa, cod, lima beans, figs, mineral water, molasses, parsnips, soy beans, wholegrain cereals, kelp, eggs, seeds.\n- Phosphorous: almonds, beef, cashews, cheese, chicken, chickpeas, eggs, garlic, milk, nuts, offal, salmon, sardines, seed grains, sesame, soy beans, tuna.\n- Potassium: all vegetables, apricots, avocado, banana, citrus fruit, dates, herring, milk, nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans), parsley, potato, raisins, sardines, sunflower seeds.\n- Copper: almonds, avocado, beans, broccoli, buckwheat, crab, lamb, mushrooms, oysters, pecans, perch, pork, prunes, sunflower seeds, wholegrain cereals.\n- Selenium: alfalfa, barley, broccoli, brazil nuts, butter, cashews, celery, eggs, fish, garlic, mackerel, oysters, peanuts, selene-yeasts, tuna, wholegrain cereals, yeast, organ meats, onion, turnip.\n- Iodine: asparagus, cod, dairy products, garlic, iodised salt, lima beans, mushrooms, oysters, sunflower seeds.\n- Chromium: asparagus, apples. brewer’s yeast, cheese, egg yolk, liver, lobster, molasses, mushrooms, nuts, oysters, peanuts. potato, prunes, shrimp, wheat, yeast.\n- Gropper SS, Smith JL.

If we say, x is a factor of 32, then 32 is evenly divisible by x. Since 32 is a composite number, therefore it will have more than two factors.\n\nFactor pairs of the number 32 are the whole numbers which could be either positive or negative but not a fraction or decimal number. We can use the factorization method to find the factors of a number.\n\n## Pair Factors of 32\n\nTo find the factor pairs of 32, multiply the two numbers in a pair to get the original number as 32, such numbers are as follows:\n\n Positive Pair Factors Negative Pair Factors 1 × 32 = 32 ⇒ (1, 32) -1 × -32 = 32 ⇒ (-1, -32) 2 × 16 = 32 ⇒ (2, 16) -2 × -16 = 32 ⇒ (-2, -16) 4 × 8 = 32 ⇒ (4, 8) -4 × -8 = 32 ⇒ (-4, -8)\n\n## How to calculate the Factors of 32?\n\nTo find the factors of 32 we need to divide the integer 32 by all the natural numbers from 1 to 32. The numbers that can divide 32 evenly or completely are the factors.\n\nFirst of all, we know, any natural number is also a factor of itself.\n\n32 ÷ 1 = 32\n\nNow, we can see 32 is an even number, thus, it is divisible by 2 but not by any odd number (in this case). Therefore,\n\n32 ÷ 2 = 16\n\nLet us check with other even numbers.\n\n32 ÷ 4 = 8\n\n32 ÷ 8 = 4\n\n32 ÷ 16 = 2\n\n32 ÷ 32 = 1\n\nTherefore, there are total six factors of the whole number 32.\n\n Factors of 32 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32\n\n## Prime Factors of 32\n\nThe number 32 is a composite and it should have prime factors. Now let us know how to calculate the prime factors of 32.\n\nStep 1: The first step is to divide the number 32 with the smallest prime factor, say 2.\n\n32 ÷ 2 = 16\n\nStep 2: Again divide 16 by 2 and the process goes on.\n\n16 ÷ 2 = 8\n\n8 ÷ 2 = 4\n\n4 ÷ 2 = 2\n\n2 ÷ 2 = 1\n\nFinally, we received the number 1 at the end of the division process. So that we cannot proceed further. So, the prime factors of 32 are written as 2 × 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 or 25, where 2 is a prime numbers.\n\nIt is possible to find the exact number of factors of a number with the help of prime factorisation. The prime factor of the 32 is 25. The exponent in the prime factorisation is 5. When you add the number 1 with the exponent, we get 6. i.e.,5 +1 = 6. Therefore, the number 32 has 6 factors.\n\n## Solved Examples\n\nQ.1: If there are 32 toffees to be distributed among 4 students in a class.

A massive swirl like the Milky Way — with its 120,000-light year width and its 300 billion stars — exerts a whole lot of gravity. That means anything — including smaller, globular clusters or even entire dwarf galaxies — will get sucked in. Most astronomers believe major galaxies like ours assemble themselves in this way, with a constant gobbling increasing their mass over billions of years. But with the 14-billion year old Milky Way having long since reached its full adult size, we don’t get to see it eating as much as it used to.\nA new paper, soon to be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, however, has found evidence that our galaxy may still be in the process of digesting a small meal — one that, at least in cosmic terms, occurred comparatively recently in its history. The finding is significant because it illustrates both how changeable even the most fixed structures in the heavens are, and how creative astronomers can be in teasing out evidence of that fact.\n(More: Einstein and the Suicide Star)\nThe study, conducted by a team of three astronomers from Yale University, relied on observations made by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), a massive and ongoing eight-year effort to map the heavens using a wide angle telescope at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. The SDSS has so far produced three-dimensional maps of more than 930,000 galaxies, though the most detailed ones are, obviously, of the Milky Way, simply because we live in the thick of it.\nOne feature the SDSS detected in the southern sky, roughly in the direction of the constellation Triangulum, would be easy to miss by most people, but caught the astronomers’ eyes immediately. It was a thin, almost filamentous structure that the researchers knew could be what’s known as a galactic stream. As galaxies ingest star clusters, they pull those smaller formations apart, sucking them in and stretching them out to bands or strands. Big formations like large dwarf galaxies get pulled, taffy-like, into thick bands. Smaller formations like mere globular clusters may be just as long but a lot thinner.\nTo determine what they were looking at, the Yale astronomers had to study the images through a series of filters that would selectively eliminate dust in the vicinity of the strand as well as gas, more dust and other material that lay in the vast stretch of space between the formation itself and observers on Earth. Cleaning up the image that way revealed a lot.\nThe composition of the strand appeared to be consistent with exactly what you’d expect to find from the remains of old, metal-poor stars that were born back in the galaxy’s own formative days. It measured about 245 light years wide and 17,930 light years long. That, believe it or not, is small, nowhere near big enough to be the remnants of a dwarf galaxy with its billion or so stars, but just right for a globular cluster, with tens of thousands to a million.\n(Photos: Window on Infinity: Pictures from Space)\n“Our discovery is more of a light snack than a big meal for the Milky Way,” said Marla Geha, one of the co-authors of the paper. “Studying the digestion process in detail is important because it gives us new insight into how all galaxies form and evolve.”\nIt could also reveal something about the gravitational physics that hold the Milky Way together and shape it today.

Thus, 196 can be expressed as a product of pairs of equal factors. Therefore, 196 is a perfect square.\n\n## IS 169 a perfect square?\n\nThe square root of 169 is 13. Since 13 is a whole number, 169 is a perfect square. Find the following square roots and identify the perfect squares.\n\n## Is 90 a perfect square?\n\nNo because 90 cannot be written in the form of product of two equal numbers so it is not a perfect square. For e.g. 81 can be written in the form 9×9 hence it is a perfect square.\n\n## Is 53 prime or composite?\n\nWhen a number has more than two factors it is called a composite number.

The British found neither a uniform canon administering law for the diverse communities of India nor a Pope or a Shankaracharya whose law or writ applied throughout the country. Due to discrepancies in opinions of pandits on the same matter, the East India Company began training pandits for its own legal service leading to the setting up of a Sanskrit College in Banaras and Calcutta, to help them arrive at a definitive idea of the Indian legal system. It is from here that the Hindu Personal Law had its beginnings; and more appropriately so in 1772, when Warren Hastings appointed ten Brahmin pandits from Bengal to compile a digest of the Hindu scriptural law in four main civil matters—marriage, divorce, inheritance and succession.The Hindu Personal Laws underwent major reforms over a period of time, and created social and political controversies throughout India.\nAs stated by Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, India is a secular state that strives towards legal uniformity. Many argue that the commitment of the Indian government towards this gradual uniformity of the legal system threatens the minority religious groups that utilize the plurality of the law to maintain traditions and implement their religious laws. While modern Indian Law claims to make strides towards secularism, it is undeniable that its foundations rise from the Hindu legal tradition and continues to maintain religious legal acceptance by recognizing the personal and family laws of the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, and Hindu religions.\nBefore discussing the modern application and sources of Hindu law it is important to outline whom thse laws govern. In the case of Hindu personal and family laws, as outlined by the Acts of Parliament discussed below, those that are followers the Hindu religion, as well as those who are not Christian, Jewish or Muslim, are held accountable to these laws.Therefore, it is assumed that all Indians who are not Muslim, Jewish or Christian are Hindu, disregarding personal religious laws of followers of Buddhist, Jain, Sikh and other religions, creating controversy within these communities. The Indian legal system does recognize Muslim, Jewish and Christian family courts as well as secular family courts.\nSources of Personal law\nLegislation, as created and implemented by the Indian government, is the strongest source of law in all Indian courts. In the case of two conflicting sources, legislation holds the highest jurisdiction. While it is not a traditional source of law for the Hindu legal system, it is the latest and most legitimate form.\nDuring colonialism, the British codified several aspects of the Hindu legal tradition into the Indian legal system, with the assumption that all Indians were Hindus. Thus upon gaining independence, many of the same laws that governed the country during colonialism were maintained as such, making the Indian Constitution and legal system heavily laden with Hindu legal traditions at its foundation.\nIndia is based on the British common legal system, thus the courts rely heavily on stare decisis, or precedent, when deciding cases. Any case decision made by a higher court is a source of law to all of the lower courts, in the prospect that the laws will be applied in a similar manner. The Hindu family courts are expected to follow laws handed down from previous cases.\nModern Hindu law relies on the interpretation of judges and their ability to decipher mitigating factors within each legal situation. This is reflective of the ancient Hindu legal tradition of working out problems on a case specific basis in finding justice in each specific instance.\nNotable Legal Precedents and Legislation\nAs is the case with many global legal systems that rely on precedents as a source of law, certain cases stand out that have shaped the Indian legal system into what it is today. Not only do they provide the foundation for future legal cases but they also make a statement about the state of the country and what direction it wants to lead. One such case came about during the efforts of modernization reforms in India. Known as the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (1971), the law allowed Indian women to legally obtain abortions. Thus this law made not only a religious statement, as India was trying to become more secular, but also made a statement of equality as it expanded the rights women had.\nAnother Act that most came to be was Early in December 2008, the marriage between a Hindu and a Christian was deemed invalid under the Hindu Marriage Act (1955) as the Act provides for only Hindu couples to enter into a wedlock, the Supreme Court has ruled. Allegedly, Raj had misinformed his wife about his social status and she filed for divorce. He claimed that the Hindu Marriage Act does not preclude a Hindu from marrying a person of another faith. Dismissing the Christian husband’s appeal, the apex court upheld the High Courts’ view that the marriage not valid under the Hindu Marriage Act, specifically pointing to the fact that Section 5 of the Act makes it clear that a marriage may be solemnized between any two Hindus if the conditions in the said Section were fulfilled.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.703125,"string":"3.703125"}}},{"rowIdx":1027,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":825,"string":"825"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Astrology Experts Analyze Natasha Richardson (12/04/2019)\n\nHow will Natasha Richardson do on 12/04/2019 and the days ahead? Let’s use astrology to undertake a simple analysis. Note this is just for fun – do not take this too seriously. I will first work out the destiny number for Natasha Richardson, and then something similar to the life path number, which we will calculate for today (12/04/2019). By comparing the difference of these two numbers, we may have an indication of how smoothly their day will go, at least according to some astrology practitioners.\n\nPATH NUMBER FOR 12/04/2019: We will consider the month (12), the day (04) and the year (2019), turn each of these 3 numbers into 1 number, and add them together. How? Let’s walk through it. First, for the month, we take the current month of 12 and add the digits together: 1 + 2 = 3 (super simple). Then do the day: from 04 we do 0 + 4 = 4. Now finally, the year of 2019: 2 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 12. Now we have our three numbers, which we can add together: 3 + 4 + 12 = 19. This still isn’t a single-digit number, so we will add its digits together again: 1 + 9 = 10. This still isn’t a single-digit number, so we will add its digits together again: 1 + 0 = 1. Now we have a single-digit number: 1 is the path number for 12/04/2019.\n\nDESTINY NUMBER FOR Natasha Richardson: The destiny number will calculate the sum of all the letters in a name. Each letter is assigned a number per the below chart:\n\nSo for Natasha Richardson we have the letters N (5), a (1), t (2), a (1), s (1), h (8), a (1), R (9), i (9), c (3), h (8), a (1), r (9), d (4), s (1), o (6) and n (5). Adding all of that up (yes, this can get tiring) gives 74. This still isn’t a single-digit number, so we will add its digits together again: 7 + 4 = 11. This still isn’t a single-digit number, so we will add its digits together again: 1 + 1 = 2. Now we have a single-digit number: 2 is the destiny number for Natasha Richardson.\n\nCONCLUSION: The difference between the path number for today (1) and destiny number for Natasha Richardson (2) is 1. That is less than the average difference between path numbers and destiny numbers (2.667), indicating that THIS IS A GOOD RESULT. But don’t get too excited yet!

Now some clever genetic engineering that gets around one of the process’s stumbling blocks has been shown to boost crop productivity by 40 percent in the field.\nThe world is crying out for these kinds of transformative gains. The Green Revolution of the 1960s saw global crop yields rise dramatically as fertilizers, pesticides, and industrial agriculture became widespread. But we’ve more or less optimized these methods, and current productivity improvements are ticking up at around two percent per year.\nWhile the figures are a little out of date, the most widely-cited projection for global food requirements comes from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations—it predicts that we need a 60 percent increase over 2005 production levels. At the same time, concern about climate change and habitat loss suggests we can’t meet this need with a business-as-usual approach.\nThis is the motivation behind the RIPE project, based at the University of Illinois and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Its aim is to re-engineer the process at the heart of agriculture—photosynthesis—to dramatically boost crop yields without increasing land or chemical use.\nAnd in a paper published last week in the journal Science, researchers affiliated with the project reported successful field trials of a genetic modification that creates a shortcut around one of the least efficient parts of the photosynthetic pathway.\nOne of the most important enzymes for photosynthesis is RuBisCO, which is found in plants’ photosynthetic factories, chloroplasts, and is responsible for the first step in the process of turning carbon from CO2 into sugars. The enzyme is capable of accepting both CO2 and oxygen, and when it picks up the latter, toxic byproducts form.\nTo mitigate this, plants have evolved another process, called photorespiration, that breaks down these toxic chemicals and returns the carbon locked in them back to the photosynthetic pathway. The problem is that only about 75 percent of that carbon is returned, and the process uses considerable amounts of energy, which means it is a serious drain on the productivity of the plant.\nFinding ways to reduce this inefficiency has long been a target for genetic engineering. In this latest research, the scientists took two shortcuts already established in the model plant Arabidopsis, as well as a new shortcut of their own design, and applied them to the tobacco plant.\nThey chose tobacco because we already have a full sequence of its genome, it has a short life cycle, and it’s an agricultural plant that grows similarly to other crops in the field. The alternative pathways were introduced by inserting genetic material into the tobacco plants that code for the necessary enzymes.\nThe Shortcuts, Explained\nAll three approaches effectively aim to shorten the photorespiratory pathway. Normally, the toxic byproduct that occurs when RuBisCO accepts oxygen is broken into an intermediate chemical, called glycolate, before being passed from the chloroplast to a cell structure called the peroxisome, where it is broken down further and the products passed to another structure called the mitochondrion.\nInstead, these shortcuts completely break down the glycolate in the chloroplasts, which not only means fewer steps, but also means the CO2 is released close to the RuBisCO enzyme, increasing the chances of RuBisCO accepting it over oxygen in the first place.\nAfter testing to make sure the genetic alterations had taken effect, the researchers conducted both greenhouse and field tests of the genetically modified tobacco plants and discovered that their novel pathway was by far the most effective. While the older approaches resulted in 16 and 10 percent increases in biomass, theirs achieved a 23 percent boost.\nBecause introducing the new pathways doesn’t prevent the original one from operating, they then added another genetic modification to reduce the expression of the protein responsible for transporting glycolate out of the chloroplast, with the aim of pushing more through the new synthetic pathway. That boosted biomass by 41 percent compared to the standard variety.\nThese are hugely promising figures, but they do still come with caveats. Firstly, while photorespiration pathways are shared across plant species, it doesn’t necessarily mean translating them to other crops will have the same magnitude of effect.\nIn many crops, total biomass is also not the most important factor. For most food crops, that biomass needs to be concentrated in seeds or tubers, whose formation is governed by a host of other metabolic pathways.\nThere’s also the question of how these changes will interact with other attempts to use genetic modifications to boost yields or confer other advantages like pest resistance or drought tolerance. For instance, another study from a different group of RIPE researchers last year found that boosting the levels of certain proteins involved in the natural photorespiration pathway can actually boost biomass to a similar degree.\nHow big a role these kinds of solutions can play in solving our food crisis is also not simply a question of science, because whether justified or not, GM crops are controversial. There’s considerable consumer resistance, and their cultivation is banned in many countries, including most of the EU.\nBut despite years of research into genetic modification of crops, we still don’t have a commercial GM product to boost yields, so this kind of concrete field-level validation of the concept is a major breakthrough.\nEven if this particular approach doesn’t translate, it has demonstrated the dramatic improvements that are possible in the efficiency of photorespiration. And that means we can remain hopeful that genetic engineering could provide a more sustainable way to feed future generations.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.0625,"string":"4.0625"}}},{"rowIdx":1029,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":535,"string":"535"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"On this day in 1776, a group of Patriots rout Loyalist forces at the Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge. To some, this battle was effectively the “Lexington and Concord of the South” because North Carolina voted for independence from Great Britain not too long afterwards.\nThe scene for the battle was set when the British Royal Governor of North Carolina, Josiah Martin, fled the state in 1775. Residents were becoming increasingly resistant to British authority, so the Governor found refuge on a British ship off the coast of Wilmington. Naturally, he wasn’t very happy with his exile, and he began looking for a way to retake North Carolina. He eventually settled upon a plan that would rely on British troops working together with recruited Loyalists. The Governor thought he could obtain the support of up to 10,000 Loyalists. (Depending on whose estimate you read: Some say he was aiming for 5,000.)\nNeedless to say, his estimates were a bit too optimistic. Despite offers of land and tax exemptions, only 1,600 Loyalists were recruited. Perhaps even worse for Martin, Patriots in the area learned of his plan and worked to keep the Loyalist and British troops from their rendezvous. The Patriots deployed troops to block one route, forcing Loyalists toward Moore’s Creek Bridge. More Patriots were established near the bridge.\nThe Loyalists sent a message under a flag of truce: Surrender, declare loyalty to the King, and receive a pardon. The Patriots would have none of that, of course. Instead, they returned a defiant message: “Take oath to support the Continental Congress or be treated as enemies of the constitutional liberties of America.”\nThey surely did not expect a positive answer to THAT?! Instead, the Patriots prepared for an attack. They pretended to leave their camp, so it appeared to be deserted when the Loyalists arrived at daybreak on February 27. However, the Loyalists caught a glimpse of some men on the other side of the bridge. They soon realized those men were Patriots. Troops were rallied and began to move across the bridge.\nThe Patriots were prepared. They’d removed some of the planks, and they had greased the railings. As Loyalists attempted to cross the bridge, they were met with cannon and musket fire from the Patriots. The battle was over within minutes. About 30 Loyalists were killed and 40 were wounded. Hundreds were captured. Only one Patriot died; another was wounded.\nThe American Revolution was well and truly on in North Carolina!

Their main roles are to provide energy, insulate the body and facilitate transport of fat soluble vitamins.Fat is a natural lipid material that is normally solid at room temperature. Oils are similar to fats except that they are generally liquid at room temperature.\nThese two materials are integral parts of the human diet. They are normally used as a shortening agent in food processing. It normally provides lubrication in some food products, and may also give structure to baked materials such as cakes and doughnuts. Oils are also used for frying different food products. Because of the high heat transfer properties of oil, it is normally used to produce foods that are crisp and firm.\nAside from its function as a shortening agent, oil also contributes a great amount in terms of the taste of the food. When food products are fried, certain oxidation reactions occur producing a complex set of possible flavors. Olive oil, for example, is a good oil to use for gourmet food products and in pastas and salad dressing. Coconut and palm oil, on the other hand, are very good for frying.\nThe last main important purpose of fats and oil is that because of their dense nature, they are easily stored sources of calories. Also, because of their non-polar nature, they can be used to transport various fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D and E. In the human body, lipids also play a big role in the synthesis of lipid hormones. Different polyunsaturated fatty acids are needed by the body to produce prostaglandins.\nStructure of fats and oils\nFats and oils are generally called triglycerides or triacyclglycerols. The general structure of a triglyceride is composed of three fatty acids units joined to a glycerol and a trihydroxy alcohol.\nLipid metabolism can be divided into two major types. One if these is lipogenesis, which involves the synthesis of lipids and fatty acid oxidation in which energy is produced when fatty acids are metabolized. The metabolism of lipids is closely related to the metabolic processes for carbohydrates. This is because there are times when carbohydrates are metabolized, sometimes forming fats.\nTriacylglycerols are transported in body fluids by molecules called lipoproteins. The general configuration of a lipoprotein involves having the hydrophobic region inside the core of the sphere, while the superficial layer is composed of the hydrophilic regions.\nAt different parts of the digestive tract, metabolism of triacylglycerols may occur. The mechanism of metabolism is facilitated by a group of enzymes called lipases. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of the ester bond of the triacylglycerol.\nLipases are generally classified as intracellular or extracellular. Intracellular lipases include hormone sensitive lipase in adipocytes and lysosomal lipases. Extracellular lipases, on the other hand, include pancreatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase.\nHormones control the activity of a hormone sensitive lipase. An example of this is the increase in lipase activity when an individual suffers from stress. The stress triggers a release of the hormones adrenaline/noradrenaline.\nThe hormone attaches itself to a receptor which eventually leads to processing of inactive lipases to convert them to active ones. Active lipases separate the triacylglycerol into glycerol and free fatty acids. The fatty acids produced are taken up from the blood plasma by tissues that require nutrients.\nOn the other hand, glycerol, since it cannot be utilized in adipocytes, serves as a substrate for gluconeogenesis in the liver.\nGlycerol is acted upon by glycerol kinase, consuming one ATP in the process, to produce L-glycerol-3-phosphate (L-G3P). L-G3P will be converted to a dihydryacetone phosphate using glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase. An NAD+ is also converted to NADH in the process.\nFinally, the dihydroxyacetone phosphate readily isomerizes to form the D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.\nTo be able to synthesize triacylglycerol back, a glycerol-3-phosphate can be processed by first reacting it with a fatty acid in the presence of an acytransferase and in the expense of an FAD molecule. Addition of one fatty acid leads to the production of a lysophosphatidic molecule. The process can be repeated to add another fatty acid to glycerol, forming a phosphatidic acid.\nThe next step is to remove the phosphate group using phosphatase. The product for this step is a diacylglycerol. Another fatty acid may then esterify with the last OH group of the diacylglycerol to produce the triacylglycerol.\nFatty Acid Metabolism\nFatty acids metabolism involves a catabolic process that generates energy and an anabolic process that creates biologically important molecules (triglycerides, phospholipids, second messengers and hormones). Fatty acids are one of the major forms of storage of metabolic energy. They are good sources of energy because they are mainly composed of –CH2 groups which can be readily reduced. Because of their hydrophobic nature, they need not to be solvated, compared to carbohydrates. The long hydrophobic tail of fatty acids can be packed tightly in storage tissues. This allows for concentrated storage.\nOne of the important metabolic processes that occur in fatty acids is β-oxidation. Here, short fatty acid chains are transported into the mitochondrial matrix as free acids. As they enter the mitochondrial matrix, they are activated by the enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase to convert it into acyl-CoA. Long chains of fatty acids move to inner parts of the mitochondrial membrane and are converted to acyl-carnitine. The acyl group of the molecule is then transferred to CoA to form acyl-CoA.\nThe saturated fatty acyl-CoA molecule will be degraded in a series of four reactions that are part of the β-oxidation. The first reaction involves oxidizing the molecule through the α and β-carbon forming a double bond. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase catalyzes this process in the expense of a FAD molecule. The product of this process is a trans-Δ2-enoyl CoA.\nIn the second step, the trans-Δ2-enoyl CoA will be hydrated in presence of an enoyl-CoA hydratase forming an L-3-hydroxyacyl CoA. It is then oxidized further to 3-ketoacyl CoA using L-3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase as a catalyst. This process proceeds using up one NAD+ to form NADH and H+.\nThe final step is catalyzing by thiolase. A cysteine residue in the enzyme attacks the β-keto carbon atom. Bond cleavage occurs producing the enolate of acetyl CoA and a thioester intermediate. The final product of β-oxidation is a 2-carbon shorter acyl-CoA. These β-oxidation steps are successively repeated until enough acetyl CoA units are produced.\nFatty Acid Biosynthesis\nFatty acid synthesis follows the same sequence as β-oxidation, except it is in the reverse order. It is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl coA and NADPH through actions of fatty acid synthetases in the cytoplasm of cells. Here, NADPH acts as a reductant to reduce the ketoacyl and enoyl intermediate of the process.\nThe whole synthesis process obtains enough energy from the decarboxylation step for it to occur.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.75,"string":"3.75"}}},{"rowIdx":1032,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1122,"string":"1,122"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"August 31 is Hermann von Helmholtz’s birthday.

There was no physical source of where muscles got their ‘force’ to function but were from invisible vital source stemming from just being alive. After all, muscles don’t work anymore after you die. Helmholtz believed the source muscle power was derived from purely physical and chemical means. Recent discoveries showed work was done by converting one form of energy to another. Why should physiological work be any different? Helmholtz showed relationships between mechanical work, heat, light, electricity, and magnetism that implied there was a single ‘force’ that drove all motion called energy. Not only did this force exist, it was conserved. It could neither be created or destroyed but only transformed. This would be a major contribution to the study of thermodynamics that was currently beginning the Industrial Revolution.\nHelmholtz also made contributions to the study of physiology. He was one of the first to apply experimentation to the study of how the body works. Helmholtz was interested in why certain physical processes worked at all in addition to how they worked. One of his most significant contributions was the invention of the ophthalmoscope. You may recognize this device when your doctor uses it to look into your eyes during routine physicals. Helmholtz’s use of this device helped him devise theories on color vision, depth perception, and motion perception. This work revolutionized vision science and made Helmholtz famous. His handbook on the subject was the standard reference for doctors for the rest of the century.\nAnother area he made contributions to was the study of sound physiology. He showed how the bones of the ear functioned and allowed us to perceive sounds. He also demonstrated how we perceive complex tones as a series of harmonics of pure sine waves depending only on frequency and intensity. He also showed the pitch of speech sounds depended on the shape of the resonant cavity of our throats and mouth form when we make them.\nAs Helmholtz grew older, his focus moved from physiology to physics. He began to study the length and motion of electrical waves. This work would continue through his student Heinrich Hertz and many of their ideas of electromagnetic waves would influence other scientists like Maxwell, Einstein, and Schrödinger. His philosophies on how we perceive the world around us and how it influences our thoughts would guide future thinkers to question the classical ideas of physics and help usher in the ideas of relativity and quantum mechanics.\nNotable Science Events for August 31\n2002 – George Porter died.\nPorter was a British chemist who shares half the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Ronald Norrish for their research into very fast chemical reactions. They used pulses of light to increase the number of free radicals in some organic compounds to determine the intermediate steps to perform these reactions.\n1985 – Frank Macfarlane Burnet died.\nBurnet was an Australian virologist who shares the 1960 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Peter Medawar for their work in immunology and discovery of acquired immunological tolerance. This occurs when the body adapts to external antigens without causing an immune system response.\nHe refined and improved laboratory techniques to incubate viruses in hen eggs. He applied this method to culture and detect influenza virus. Burnet also identified the cause for ornithosis and Q fever.\n1949 – Hugh David Politzer was born.\nPolitzer is an American physicist who shares the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics with Frank Wilczek and David J.

He described how the strong nuclear force got weaker the closer quarks got to each other.\n1821 – Hermann von Helmholtz was born.\n1786 – Michel-Eugene Chevreul was born.\nChevereul was a French chemist who made many discoveries in the chemistry of fats. He discovered glycerol and described fats as glycerides of organic acids. His discovery of oleic acid led to his invention of margarine.\nIn his later years, he turned his attention to the study of color. He found that colors can complement each other in contrast and tone. He arranged the visible colors in a circle with thousands of tints with their complement directly across the circle. His book, The Laws of Contrast of Color was translated to English and German and was the handbook for many 19th Century artists.\n1663 – Guillaume Amontons was born.\nAmontons was a French physicist and instrument maker who introduced three laws of static friction. He discovered friction was directly proportional to the applied load, independent of the area of contact and independent of the sliding velocity.\nHe also developed scientific instruments such as an air thermometer that relied on the increased volume of a gas, rather than a liquid like mercury. He used this to determine the change in temperature was proportional to a change in pressure.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.0625,"string":"4.0625"}}},{"rowIdx":1033,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1098,"string":"1,098"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Writing a polynomial function in standard form with zeros\n\nPolynomial Characteristics and Sketching Graphs There are certain rules for sketching polynomial functions, like we had for graphing rational functions.\n\nOur examples will state that we will be writing polynomials of least degree that have real numbers for coefficients and a leading coefficient of 1. A complex zero is a solution that has an imaginary part. This is sort of what we will be doing when we write a polynomial function from a given set of zeros.\n\nAgain, the degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent if you look at all the terms you may have to add exponents, if you have a factored form. Writing Equations for Polynomials You might have to go backwards and write an equation of a polynomial, given certain information about it: If we do this, we may be missing solutions!\n\nYou might have noticed that this function has a repeated zero, 2, and two imaginary zeros, i and -i. There will be a coefficient positive or negative at the beginning: You often also learn how to factor and find solutions of polynomial functions of degree 3 or higher. The reverse of this process is the combining of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water.\n\nDavid Liano In this lesson, you will learn how to write a polynomial function from its given zeros.\n\nThese stipulations are pretty typical for the problems we will be solving. We typically do this by factoring, like we did with Quadratics in the Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Completing the Square section.\n\nWe will now complete some examples. The rational zeros of -1, -2, and 5 mean that our factors are as follows: Also note that sometimes we have to factor the polynomial to get the roots and their multiplicity.\n\nFor higher level polynomials, the factoring can be a bit trickier, but it can be sort of fun — like a puzzle! Multiplying out to get Standard Form, we get: Here are the multiplicity behavior rules and examples: These numbers are also sometimes referred to as roots or solutions.\n\nIf you remember what you learned from your chemistry class in high school, water is separated into two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Note that this can be simplified to: Notice that we can use synthetic division again by guessing another factor, as we do in the last problem: These are also the roots.\n\nRational Root Test When we want to factor and get the roots of a higher degree polynomial using synthetic division, it can be difficult to know where to start! The end behavior indicates that the polynomial has an even degree and with a positive coefficient, so the degree is fine, and our polynomial will have a positive coefficient.\n\nNow you can sketch any polynomial function in factored form! Finding Roots Zeros of Polynomials Remember that when we factor, we want to set each factor with a variable in it to 0, and solve for the variable to get the roots.\n\nTo build the polynomial, start with the factors and their multiplicity. Multiply all the factors to get Standard Form: After completing this lesson, you will be able to write a polynomial function from a given set of zeros.\n\nExample 1 A polynomial function has real coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the zeros -1, -2, and 5.\n\nYou will learn how to follow a process that converts zeros into factors and then factors into polynomial functions. Convert the zeros to factors. Example 2 A polynomial function has real coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the zeros 2, 2, i, and -i.\n\nIn these examples, one of the factors or roots is given, so the remainder in synthetic division should be 0. We also did more factoring in the Advanced Factoring section. Using the example above: Write a polynomial function of least degree in standard form.write a polynomial function y of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the zeros -2, 1, 4+i How do you write a polynomial function with the given zeros.\n\n-3, 2/5, -2i Write a polynomial function of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the zeros 1,3, and 2−i Write a.

For example, if we roll a die then the likelihood of 3 coming on the top can be evaluated by the formula of probability. Since there are 6 possible outcomes that are possible, therefore the probability of 3 coming on top of the rolled die will be16. Therefore, with the knowledge of probability, we can mathematically calculate the likelihood that an event from a particular experiment will occur for certain or not.\n\nThe formula of probability is given as follows:\n\nIf the probability of an event is equal to 1, then the event is a sure or a certain event. If the probability of an event is 0, then the event is termed as an impossible event.\n\nSome Basic Terms:\n\n• Random Experiment: The experiment under consideration of which the certainty of the results remain unknown and are found by the formulae and techniques of probability is termed as a random experiment.\n• Sample Space: In sample space, a set is created in which we list all the possible events that might occur in a random experiment.\n• Random Variables: We denote the outcomes that can possibly occur in an experiment using variables termed as random variables. Random variables are of 2 types:\n\n1. Discrete Random Variables: these variables are used to denote distinct and countable values.\n2. Continuous Random Variables: these variables can take up infinite values.\n1. Expected Value: If we find the mean of the random variables, it is termed as the expected value.\n\n### Exercise Discussion for RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Chapter 26: Data Handling-IV (Probability)\n\n• There is 1 exercise that contains 18 probability-based questions in chapter 26.\n• In exercise 26.1, you will get to solve questions related to the tossing of three coins at once, finding the probability of various events when drawing a card from a deck of cards, and the probability of various other experiments too such as drawing a ball from a bag containing balls of different colours etc.\n• Solving the exercises will make you proficient in the questions that are asked in various maths quiz and competitions.\n• Probability is a very essential topic for Class 8 as it is further discussed in higher classes as a part of statistics.

Modern maize has been developed from the large diversity of landraces that were grown by indigenous groups. All of these landraces can be genetically traced back to the domestication of maize in southern Mexico around 9,000 years ago (Van Heerwaardena, et al. 2011). After domestication, indigenous peoples began to breed maize to suit their needs and trade with their neighbors. Maize continued to spread north and south across the Americas, while developing a broad range of traits (Vigouroux, et al. 2008). A widespread form of intercropping used corn, beans, and squash planted together (known as the “three sisters”) was widely adopted by many Native Americans. While this practice was widespread, it was not ubiquitous, as some tribes included other species or omitted one of the “three sisters” (Scarry 2008). Some tribes also grew maize by planting in mounds on river floodplains, without any clear record of intercropping. Since maze requires a lot of nutrients, rotting fish and other organic fertilizers were often used (Gonella 2007). Once Europeans arrived in the Western Hemisphere, they began to breed landraces together to suit their preferences. The varieties that were established before the rise of modern hybrids are now considered heirloom varieties. There is rising interest amongst home gardeners and farmers-market producers to grow landraces and recent heirloom varieties. The information in this report is to aid those who are interested in growing indigenous maize or landrace maize.\nMAIZE KERNEL TYPES\nThe maize cob consists of many rows of kernels, each one develops from a fertilized flower. Each kernel consists of a seed containing starchy endosperm and the embryo, surrounded by a seed coat that is fused to the fruit wall (pericarp). The pericarp and seed coat protect the seed from pests and the environment, and the endosperm provides nutrition to the embryo upon germination. Differences in the endosperm and pericarp define five categories of kernels that many landraces and heirlooms fall into: popcorn, flint, flour, dent, and sweet.\nPopcorn: Likely one of the oldest forms to arise after domestication, characterized by a thick pericarp and dense endosperm. Primarily used for popping.\nFlint: Similar to a popcorn, but larger in size. Consists of a thick pericarp and a hard endosperm that in some cases appears translucent or glassy. Used in a broad range of applications (hominy, corn flour, roasted, etc.)\nFlour: A very popular category in North America. This category can be identified by a very thin pericarp, and a soft endosperm comprised of fine-grained starch. Flour corn was used in the same way as flint corns, but offered easier processing and finer flour.\nDent: Characterized by the presence of a dimple, or dent, on the rounded end of a kernel. This is caused by a hard, flinty endosperm on the sides, and a soft center. As the kernel dries during maturation, the softer center shrinks, causing a “dent”. Most modern maize varieties are hybrids of dent and flints.\nSweet: Possess reduced ability to convert sugar in the endosperm into starch, causing their sweet flavor. Since they have a reduced amount of starch at maturity, the kernels shrink and become very wrinkled.\nGROWING INDIGENOUS/HEIRLOOM MAIZE\nIndigenous and Heirloom maize require the same basic care as common garden varieties; however, they may be more specific in their requirements as each race was adapted to its local environment over many centuries. For general planting recommendations for sweet corn, read the Sweet Corn Extension sheet from Iowa State University (Haynes, Everhart and Juaron 2002).Since the landraces were developed across the entire range of maize production (Argentina to Canada), and in varying environments, there are many growing variables to consider. These include water requirements, length of growing season, and temperature. Some landraces, particularly those from more tropical areas, have strict requirements for day length, and will not flower in the longer days of higher latitudes. It is worthwhile to discover where the landrace was developed, and how it was cultivated by the indigenous groups from that place. While it is possible to grow landraces under different conditions, it is best to choose types of corn that originate from a similar climate and latitude.\nLandraces from more arid environments are more drought tolerant, but are also likely to be more prone to root rot when overwatered. Generally maize does well with lots of sun, but if the temperatures get too high, landraces from northern latitudes and coastal areas may become over-stressed.\nThe length of a growing season is often measured by the number of frost-free days. Maize landraces exhibit a range of growing season length requirements. Gaspe Flint require 45-60 days from planting to harvest, and comes from Northern Maine, USA and Southeast Canada. Many landraces from Mexico require well over 100 days before harvest. To find out how long your growing season is, go to Dave’s Garden website and enter your zip code (http://davesgarden.com/guides/freeze-frost-dates/#b).\nPhotoperiod is the length of time an organism is exposed to light and darkness. Many plants are triggered to flower by the length of darkness they experience every night (photoperiod sensitivity). The higher the latitude, the longer days in summer become (shorter nights). Maize originating from nearer to the equator needs long nights, and will not flower when grown too far north. As maize agriculture spread north, it adapted to its new growing conditions, and lost this sensitivity to the length of each night. This allowed maize to be bred to flower earlier, fitting into the shorter growing seasons of the northern latitudes (Vigouroux, et al. 2008).\nModern maize hybrids have been bred for increased hardiness to a broad range of environmental stresses. Landraces with a specific desirable trait have been used in breeding programs to produce varieties with a combination of those traits. This allows newer varieties to display the best qualities that were previously spread across large numbers of landraces.\nInsects, fungi, and viruses are biological stressors that need to be eradicated when present. Landraces and Heirlooms can be resistant to a specific infestation or infection, however many landraces can be very susceptible to biological stressors.\nLodging (falling–over) is a major issue for landraces, and is partially a result of lower planting densities. Many indigenous peoples mounded fertilized soil around the base of each plant a few months after planting to increase root growth. The additional roots provide structural support to combat lodging, and increase nutrient uptake.\nLandraces and heirlooms will need soil that is high in available nitrogen. It is best to prepare the soil before planting. Indigenous fertilization practices using buried fish and/or intercropping can be used, but are not necessary.\nSome landraces produce many tillers (aka “suckers”), which are lateral branches that originate at ground level. If this is the case, early removal is often required to maximize yield.\nHOW TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR LANDRACE OR HEIRLOOM VARIETY\nIf you know the people group (tribe) associated with the landrace you wish to grow or know the common name for your heirloom, you can likely find it in the USDA Agricultural Research Services’ Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). This database hosts a large number of Native American maize landraces, and provides a large amount of information in each landrace’s profile (http://www.ars-grin.gov/).\nTo search the GRIN database, use these instructions:\n1) Follow the link and type “Zea mays” in the search bar, including 1-2 keywords from the name of the landrace of your interest. The profile page gives some general information, and can be a good source of information about where the landrace was originally grown and it’s tribal affiliations.\n2) Click on the “Observations” link to see detailed trait information. The observations page is where you can often find kernel and ear dimensions, colors, average ear production, days to silk, and kernel weight. The amount and type of data recorded for each landrace varies widely.\nIf your landrace is from a Native American tribe, their tribal governments frequently have information about how to care for their corn. When approaching tribes for information recognize that many of their traditions are based on culture and ceremonies, so they may not wish to share all of their information.\nMANAGING SEED STOCKS & GENETICS\nWhen growing an indigenous landrace or heirloom, it is most common for the grower to save “seed corn” to plant the next year. In effect the grower maintains a small seed bank to meet their personal needs. This practice essentially requires that the grower manage a small-scale breeding program, where desirable traits are selected for future planting, crosspollination with other varieties is minimized, and inbreeding depression is minimized.\nAVOIDING CROSSPOLLINATION WITH OTHER VARIETIES\nThe maize cob is usually fertilized with pollen from surrounding plants, but pollination from other maize varieties may introduce new traits that differ from the original landrace. This is undesirable unless you wish to do breeding experiments. Even then, results may be counter-intuitive. For example, attempting to interbreed different types of sweet corn may result in corn that is less sweet than either parent because of the complex genetics of this trait. Modern sweet corn varieties usually incorporate multi-generational crosses to manipulate sweetness and other traits (Azanza, Bar-Zur and Juvik 1996).\nIn order to avoid crosspollination with other varieties, it is best to grow your corn away from any other type of corn. The distance required varies due to several factors. If a commercial field of corn is planted nearby, it is best to be around 1 mile away. Wind is a large factor, as corn pollen is not viable very long once airborne. If your garden or field is sheltered from wind, distances can be reduced. A more effective method is to stagger planting dates so that pollination times are separated. This can be done using “Days to Silk” (when silks emerge on ears), when tassels emerge, or anthesis occurs (pollen release). These 3 events all occur at different stages of growth, and the actual number of days you will observe will vary from the average due to environmental growth conditions. The number of days to silk emergence for most landraces and heirlooms can be found under its GRIN profile (USDA GRIN 2013). In extreme cases, hand pollination may be required. It is much more labor intensive, but very effective. The Maize Genomics Database has detailed resources on how to hand pollinate corn (http://www.maizegdb.org/IMP/WEB/pollen.htm).\nIt is best to have a thorough understanding of the traits your landrace exhibits, and to preserve the ears that resemble the original traits (easily found on GRIN). The best traits to keep an eye on are kernel color, kernel type, number of rows around an ear, ear length, texture of endosperm, and days to silk/ripening. Common traits that can be a sign of crosspollination from other varieties are change in kernel type (i.e. flour to dent), increase in rows of kernels, color changes (plant and kernel), and plant dimensions. Traits from crosspollination normally don’t present themselves until the following year (except kernel endosperm and embryo), so keep in mind, most selection at harvest is eliminating the previous year’s crosspollination. Actively selecting for the desired traits will minimize the flow of unwanted genes into your seed bank population. In addition to separating your harvest into ears exhibiting wanted and unwanted traits, it is natural to select healthy-looking ears that have performed well in your field/garden for your seed stocks.\nMAINTAINING GENETIC DIVERSITY\nInbreeding depression in corn is a phenomenon where plant health and production decrease as genetic diversity decreases. When a population is too small, and/or selection is too stringent, genetic differences are reduced. When population sizes are large enough, or multiple sources of seed are grown together, it will result in more vigorous plants and increase yield. Garden plot-size populations can have stable and healthy levels of genetic diversity. A larger population size will increase your ability to maintain the traits that you want to preserve (Guzman and Lamkey 2000). When populations are small (less than 30 plants at harvest), trait selection should be less stringent; otherwise the plants can lose their vigor and yield. Desired genetic traits could also be lost with the rejected seed, when population sizes are low (Solomon, Martin and Zeppa 2010).\nWhen storing seeds from year-to-year, it is best to store kernels on the ear with husks pulled back or removed, to help regulate moisture and increase seed viability. Cool and dry storage conditions are best to prevent mold and rotting. For optimum long-term viability, store the seed at 41F and 25 percent RH for two weeks, before placing in an air-tightcontainer at 0 F (Walter and Roos 1998). A more practical approach is to allow the seeds to dry in an air conditioned room for two weeks, and store in a standard freezer. Germination rates can be kept higher, reducing losses, by planting the oldest seed each year. The longer kernels remain in storage, the less viable they will become.\nAzanza, Fermin, Avri Bar-Zur, and John A.

It seems reasonable that at some point some Earth organisms made it” said Rachel Worth of Penn State University\nPerhaps the most famous of these impacts was at Chicxulub in Mexico about 66 million years ago – when an object the size of a small city collided with Earth.\nThe impact has been blamed for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, triggering volcanic eruptions and wildfires which choked the planet with smoke and dust.\nIt also launched about 70 billion kg of rock into space – 20,000kg of which could have reached Europa. And the chances that a rock big enough to harbour life arrived are “better than 50/50”, researchers estimate.\nBut could living organisms actually survive these epic trips?\n“I’d be surprised if life hasn’t gotten to Mars,” Ms Worth told BBC News.\n“It’s beyond the scope of our study. But it seems reasonable that at some point some Earth organisms have made it over there.”\nIt has been shown that tiny creatures can withstand the harsh environment of space. And bacterial spores can be revived after hundreds of millions of years in a dormant state.\n“I sometimes joke we might find ammonite shells on the Moon from the Chicxulub impact” said Prof Jay Melosh of Purdue University\nBut even if a hardy microbe did stow away for all those millennia, it might simply burn up on arrival, or land in inhospitable terrain.\nThe most habitable places in range of Earth are Europa, Mars and Titan – but while all three have likely held water, it may not have been on offer to visitors.\nEuropa’s oceans are capped by a crust of ice that may be impenetrably thick.\n“But it appears regions of the ice sheet sometimes break into large chunks separated by liquid water, which later refreezes,” Ms Worth said.\n“Any meteorites lying on top of the ice sheet in a region when this occurs would stand a chance of falling through.\n“Additionally, the moons are thought to have been significantly warmer in the not-too-distant past.”\nOn Mars, there is little evidence of flowing water during the last 3.5bn years – the likeliest window for Earth life to arrive.\nBut what if the reverse trip took place?\nThe early Martian atmosphere appears to have been warm and wet – prime conditions for the development of life.\nAnd if Martian microbes ever did exist, transfer to Earth is “highly probable” due to the heavy traffic of meteorites between our planets, Ms Worth told BBC News.\n“Billions have fallen on Earth from Mars since the dawn of our planetary system. It is even possible that life on Earth originated on Mars.”\nWhile her team are not the first to calculate that panspermia is possible, their 10-million-year simulation is the most extended yet, said astrobiologist Prof Jay Melosh, of Purdue University.\n“The study strongly reinforces the conclusion that, once large impacts eject material from the surface of a planet such as the Earth or Mars, the ejected debris easily finds its way from one planet to another,” he told BBC News.\n“The Chicxulub impact itself might not have been a good candidate because it occurred in the ocean (50 to 500m deep water) and, while it might have ejected a few sea-surface creatures, like ammonites, into space, it would not likely have ejected solid rocks.\n“I sometimes joke that we might find ammonite shells on the Moon from that event.\n“But other large impacts on the Earth may indeed have ejected rocks into interplanetary space.”<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.1875,"string":"4.1875"}}},{"rowIdx":1038,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":367,"string":"367"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"We use verbs all the time, but do we know what they are?

Determine a single event with a single outcome.\n2. Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur.\n3. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.\n\nIn this article, we show that Bertrand’s paradox contains two different problems: an “easy” problem and a “hard” problem. The easy problem can be solved by formulating Bertrand’s question in sufficiently precise terms, so allowing for a non-ambiguous modelization of the entity subjected to the randomization.\n\nWhat is the 1 in probability?\n\nA probability of 1 means that the event will happen. If the probability of a road traffic accident was 1 there would be nothing you could do to stop it. It will happen. In practice probabilities associated with everyday life events lie somewhere between 0 and 1.\n\nIs probability a percentage?\n\nProbability can also be written as a percentage, which is a number from 0 to 100 percent. The higher the probability number or percentage of an event, the more likely is it that the event will occur.\n\n## What is the probability of 3?\n\nProbability of rolling a certain number or less with one die\n\nRoll a…or less Probability\n1 1/6 (16.667%)\n2 2/6 (33.333%)\n3 3/6 (50.000%)\n4 4/6 (66.667%)\n\n### What is the probability of a number?\n\nThe probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible. Converting the fraction 35 to a decimal, we would say there is a 0.6 probability of choosing a banana. This basic definition of probability assumes that all the outcomes are equally likely to occur.\n\nWhat events have a 50/50 chance of happening?\n\nCoins generally have 2 different images, one on each side often called heads and tails. What is this? When you flip a coin into the air, you have a 50/50 chance of it landing on the head side or the tail side. One of those two things will happen and there are no other options.\n\nWhich event has a probability of 1?\n\nAn event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of zero. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between zero and 1.\n\n## What does it mean to be 50% more likely?\n\nThe higher the probability number or percentage of an event, the more likely is it that the event will occur. The probability of a certain event occurring depends on how many possible outcomes the event has. This means that for the coin toss, the theoretical probability of either heads or tails is 0.5 (or 50 percent).\n\n### What is the probability of getting 1?\n\nIn simple terms, probability is defined as the chance of getting a possible outcome. Consider that you have a dice and you have to determine the chance of getting 1 as the result. The probability of getting 1 would be 1/6. This is because the total outcomes are 6 and one sides of the dice has 1 as the value.\n\nWhat is the probability of an event?\n\nProbability is the measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is quantified as a number between 0 and 1, with 1 signifying certainty, and 0 signifying that the event cannot occur.\n\nHow to use the probability calculator?\n\nHow to use the probability calculator? 1 Choose between repeat times. 2 Enter the values for “the number of occurring”. 3 Enter the number of event A and event B. 4 Click calculate.

Hence, has been announced as the non-ozone layer depleting substance by EPA of United States.\nAlkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes have the general formula as Cn\n. Halogen family comprises five elements namely fluorine, chlorine, iodine, bromine, and astatine. Haloalkanes are derived from saturated hydrocarbons when one or more hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom.\nAlthough haloalkanes are derived from alkanes, there is a large difference between their structural and physical properties. If alkanes and haloalkanes containing the same number of carbons are compared, it can be observed that the boiling point of alkanes are lower than those of haloalkanes. Alkanes are non-aromatic while some of the alkyl halides have an associated smell.\nNomenclature of Alkyl Halides\nSince alkyl halides are compounds formed from alkanes and halogen, they are named after their parent constituents. Consider ethane reacting with chlorine. The resultant haloalkane is called chloroethane. However, this is for a single chlorine molecule. If the number of chlorine molecules is four, then the resultant will be called tetrachloroethane wherein tetra depicts four molecules of chlorine.\nAlso Known As:\nHaloalkanes, halogenoalkanes, halogenated hydrocarbons\nWhere R represents hydrocarbon (alkane) and X represents halogen. As mentioned earlier, the general formula of an alkane is Cn\n. One or more hydrogen is replaced by a halogen atom.\nTypes of Alkyl Halides\nAlkyl halides can be classified depending on the atom of carbon to which the halogen atom is bonded.\n): The carbon atom bonded to the halogen atom is bonded to one other alkyl group.\n): The carbon atom bonded to the halogen atom is bonded to two other alkyl groups.\n): The carbon atom bonded to the halogen atom is bonded to three other alkyl groups.\nTwo examples of alkyl halides are presented below.\nConsider the chlorination of methane (CH4\n) as represented in the image below.\nWhen two atoms of chlorine are added to methane, a bond between central carbon atom and hydrogen is broken whereas central carbon and a chlorine bond is formed. The freed hydrogen atom combines with a chlorine atom to form hydrochloric acid. The resultants are chloromethane and hydrochloric acid (HCL) whose structures have been presented.\nChloromethane is toxic, colorless, pleasantly smelling, and highly flammable. It is used as weed killer, as a solvent in chemical reactions, anesthetic in medicine field, manufacture of silicon polymers, and petroleum refining process.\nConsider the chlorination of chloromethane (CH3\nCl) as represented in the image below.\nWhen two atoms of chlorine are added to chloromethane, a bond between central carbon atom and hydrogen is broken whereas central carbon and a chlorine bond is formed. The freed hydrogen atom combines with a chlorine atom to form hydrochloric acid. The resultants of this reaction are dichloromethane and hydrochloric acid (HCL) whose structures have been presented.\nDichloromethane is a volatile, colorless, pleasantly smelling liquid which is insoluble with water. It is used as a degreaser, solvent for chemical processes, aerosol propellant, and heat engine (in drinking bird).\nIn the end, process of distillation is used to separate these products. Note that both the above reactions can take place only in presence of UV light or high temperatures.\nProperties of Alkyl Halides\nMost of the chemical or physical properties of alkyl halides differ from their constituent elements.\n◈ Halogen imparts reactivity to alkyl halides.\n◈ Alkanes impart odorlessness and colorlessness to alkyl halides.\n◈ Some alkyl halides are less toxic and have high heat of vaporization.\n◈ Alkyal halides are water-phobic, i.e. they repel water. Only a few of these compounds are sparingly soluble in water.\n◈ Halogenated hydrocarbons are soluble in organic solvents.\n◈ Some of the haloalkanes do not conduct electricity.\n◈ Alkyl halides have higher boiling and melting point unlike alkanes.\n◈ Haloalkanes are less flammable as compared to its component alkanes.\n◈ R-F are the most stable alkyl halides. The stability in their increasing order is as expressed below.\nR-F << R-Cl < R-Br < R-I. This order indicates the strength of the carbon-hydrogen bond.\n◈ Alkyl halides have stronger intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole interaction.)\n◈ Some halogenoalkanes leave no residue post usage.\nUses of Alkyl Halides\nAlkyl halides find a variety of uses and applications in our everyday lives which have been mentioned below:\n◈ Alkyl halides are used in labs as synthetic intermediate compounds.\n◈ They are used as cleansers for cleaning.\n◈ Commercial uses of haloalkanes include its use in fire extinguishers.\n◈ Carbon tetrachloride is used to detect neutrinos.\n◈ Ethyl chloride can be used as an agent for bringing about cooling of the skin in tropical regions.\n◈ The water-insoluble alkyl halides are used as aqua-phobic solvents in chemical processes.\n◈ Alkyl halides are commonly used as varnish or paint removers.\n◈ Haloalkanes are used as propellants.\n◈ Naturally occurring haloalkanes found in oceans, sometimes act as guards against ocean-attackers.\n◈ CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons are used as refrigerants in refrigerators. However, they deplete the ozone layer and are thus harmful. They can also be used for manufacturing expanded polystyrene.\n◈ Dichloromethane is used in plastic welding, and as a blowing agent for foamed plastics.\nAlkyl halides find wide applications in the field of chemistry. However, the fact that these compounds have serious implications on health and environment cannot be ignored. Carbon tetrachloride used as a fabric cleaner is known to cause damage to liver. Similarly, chloroform a popular anesthetic has been proven to be cancerous. Therefore, use and circulation of alkyl halides has been restricted to some extent.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.90625,"string":"3.90625"}}},{"rowIdx":1043,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":5181,"string":"5,181"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"This will actually make the problems easier! $\\begin{cases}5x +2y =1 \\\\ -3x +3y = 5\\end{cases}$ Yes. The reason it’s most useful is that usually in real life we don’t have one variable in terms of another (in other words, a “$$y=$$” situation). She also buys 1 pound of jelly beans, 3 pounds of licorice and 1 pound of caramels for $1.50. Tips to Remember When Graphing Systems of Equations. So, again, now we have three equations and three unknowns (variables). 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain shirts 2) There are 13 animals in the barn. See – these are getting easier! It’s easier to put in $$j$$ and $$d$$ so we can remember what they stand for when we get the answers. We’ll need another equation, since for three variables, we need three equations (otherwise, we’d theoretically have infinite ways to solve the problem). (Actually, I think it’s not so much luck, but having good problem writers!) Solving systems of equations word problems worksheet For all problems, define variables, write the system of equations and solve for all variables. Here are some examples illustrating how to ask about solving systems of equations. Simultaneous equations (Systems of linear equations): Problems with Solutions. There are some examples of systems of inequality here in the Linear Inequalities section. Now we know that $$d=1$$, so we can plug in $$d$$ and $$s$$ in the original first equation to get $$j=6$$. Let’s check our work: The two angles do in fact add up to 180°, and the larger angle (110°) is 30° less than twice the smaller (70°).$\\begin{cases}2x -y = -1 \\\\ 3x +y =6\\end{cases}$Yes. $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}x\\,\\,+\\,\\,y=10\\\\.01x+.035y=10(.02)\\end{array}$$ $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}\\,y=10-x\\\\.01x+.035(10-x)=.2\\\\.01x\\,+\\,.35\\,\\,-\\,.035x=.2\\\\\\,-.025x=-.15;\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,x=6\\\\\\,y=10-6=4\\end{array}$$. If we increase a by 7, we get x. We can also use our graphing calculator to solve the systems of equations: $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}j+d=6\\text{ }\\\\25j+50d=200\\end{array}$$. Problem 3. This will help us decide what variables (unknowns) to use. Graph each equation on the same graph. Homogeneous system of equations: If the constant term of a system of linear equations is zero, i.e. 8x - 18 = 30 “Systems of equations” just means that we are dealing with more than one equation and variable. You may need to hit “ZOOM 6” (ZoomStandard) and/or “ZOOM 0” (ZoomFit) to make sure you see the lines crossing in the graph. Forestry problems are frequently represented by a system of equations rather than a single equation. Think of it like a puzzle – you may not know exactly where you’re going, but do what you can in baby steps, and you’ll get there (sort of like life!). Study Guide. Remember that when you graph a line, you see all the different coordinates (or $$x/y$$ combinations) that make the equation work. Solving Systems of Equations Real World Problems. The system of linear equations are shown in the figure bellow: Inconsistent: If a system of linear equations has no solution, then it is called inconsistent. Learn how to solve a system of linear equations from a word problem. Let’s try another substitution problem that’s a little bit different: Now plug in 4 for the second equation and solve for $$y$$. This is what we call a system, since we have to solve for more than one variable – we have to solve for 2 here. Turn the percentages into decimals: move the decimal point two places to the left. We needed to multiply the first by –4 to eliminate the $$x$$’s to get the $$z$$. Linear(Simple) Equations: Problems with Solutions. At 5 hours, the two plumbers will charge the same. 1. Linear(Simple) Equations: Very Difficult Problems with Solutions. If she bought a total of 7 then how many of each kind did she buy? Find the number. We could buy 4 pairs of jeans and 2 dresses. Warrayat Instructional Unit. Solution : Let \"x\" be the number. Systems of Three Equations Math . Thus, the plumber would be chosen based on how many hours Michaela’s mom thinks the plumber will be there. Use easier numbers if you need to: if you buy. That’s going to help you interpret the solution which is where the lines cross. Now, since we have the same number of equations as variables, we can potentially get one solution for the system. (This is the amount of money that the bank gives us for keeping our money there.) If she has a total of 23 coins with a total face value of$4.35, how many of the coins are nickels? This means that you should prioritize understanding the more fundamental math topics on the ACT, like integers, triangles, and slopes. So far, we’ve basically just played around with the equation for a line, which is $$y=mx+b$$. The point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations. We could buy 4 pairs of jeans and 2 dresses. Difficult. Thereby, a resultant linear equation system is solved as a function of the unknown concentrations. Word Problems on Simple Equations. The main purpose of the linear combination method is to add or subtract the equations so that one variable is eliminated. Plug this in for $$d$$ in the second equation and solve for $$j$$. For all the bouquets, we’ll have 80 roses, 10 tulips, and 30 lilies. This means that the numbers that work for both equations is 4 pairs of jeans and 2 dresses! The total amount $$(x+y)$$ must equal 10000, and the interest $$(.03x+.025y)$$ must equal 283: $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}x\\,+\\,y=10000\\\\.03x+.025y=283\\end{array}$$          $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}y=10000-x\\\\.03x+.025(10000-x)=283\\\\\\,\\,\\,.03x\\,+\\,250\\,-.025x=283\\\\\\,.005x=33;\\,\\,\\,\\,x=6600\\,\\,\\\\\\,\\,y=10000-6600=3400\\end{array}$$. Now you should see “Second curve?” and then press ENTER again. He is the author of several books, including GRE For Dummies and 1,001 GRE Practice Questions For Dummies. A solution to the system is the values for the set of variables that can simultaneously satisfy all equations of the system. Solving Systems Of Equations Real World Problems Word Problem Worksheets Algebra. This one is actually easier: we already know that $$x=4$$. When equations have infinite solutions, they are the same equation, are consistent, and are called dependent or coincident (think of one just sitting on top of the other). How much did Lindsay’s mom invest at each rate? So the points of intersections satisfy both equations simultaneously. No Problem 2. (Sometimes we’ll need to add the distances together instead of setting them equal to each other.). What we want to know is how many pairs of jeans we want to buy (let’s say “$$j$$”) and how many dresses we want to buy (let’s say “$$d$$”). A number is equal to 4 times this number less 75. Do You have problems with solving equations with one unknown? If you missed this problem, review . Maybe the problem will just “work out” so we can solve it; let’s try and see. Solve the equation z - 5 = 6. . Many times, we’ll have a geometry problem as an algebra word problem; these might involve perimeter, area, or sometimes angle measurements (so don’t forget these things!). Now that we get $$d=2$$, we can plug in that value in the either original equation (use the easiest!) Pretty cool! Let’s do more word problems; you’ll notice that many of these are the same type that we did earlier in the Algebra Word Problems section, but now we can use more than one variable. Now let’s do the math (use substitution)! Remember these are because of the Additive Property of Equality, Subtraction Property of Equality, Multiplicative Property of Equality, and Division Property of Equality:eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'shelovesmath_com-large-mobile-banner-2','ezslot_10',128,'0','0']));eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'shelovesmath_com-large-mobile-banner-2','ezslot_11',128,'0','1']));eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'shelovesmath_com-large-mobile-banner-2','ezslot_12',128,'0','2'])); So now if we have a set of 2 equations with 2 unknowns, we can manipulate them by adding, multiplying or subtracting (we usually prefer adding) so that we get one equation with one variable. We have two equations and two unknowns. You really, really want to take home 6 items of clothing because you “need” that many new things. Here’s one more example of a three-variable system of equations, where we’ll only use linear elimination: \\displaystyle \\begin{align}5x-6y-\\,7z\\,&=\\,7\\\\6x-4y+10z&=\\,-34\\\\2x+4y-\\,3z\\,&=\\,29\\end{align}, $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{l}5x-6y-\\,7z\\,=\\,\\,7\\\\6x-4y+10z=\\,-34\\\\2x+4y-\\,3z\\,=\\,29\\,\\end{array}$$    $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{l}6x-4y+10z=-34\\\\\\underline{{2x+4y-\\,3z\\,=\\,29}}\\\\8x\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,+7z=-5\\end{array}$$, $$\\require{cancel} \\displaystyle \\begin{array}{l}\\cancel{{5x-6y-7z=7}}\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,20x-24y-28z\\,=\\,28\\,\\\\\\cancel{{2x+4y-\\,3z\\,=29\\,\\,}}\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\underline{{12x+24y-18z=174}}\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,32x\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,-46z=202\\end{array}$$, $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{l}\\,\\,\\,\\cancel{{8x\\,\\,\\,+7z=\\,-5}}\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,-32x\\,-28z=\\,20\\\\32x\\,-46z=202\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\underline{{\\,\\,32x\\,-46z=202}}\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,-74z=222\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,z=-3\\end{array}$$, $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{l}32x-46(-3)=202\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,x=\\frac{{202-138}}{{32}}=\\frac{{64}}{{32}}=2\\\\\\\\5(2)-6y-\\,\\,7(-3)\\,=\\,\\,7\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,y=\\frac{{-10+-21+7}}{{-6}}=4\\end{array}$$. Since they have at least one solution, they are also consistent. Systems of equations; Slope; Parametric Linear Equations; Word Problems; Exponents; Roots; ... (Simple) Equations. When you first encounter system of equations problems you’ll be solving problems involving 2 linear equations. The beans are mixed to provide a mixture of 50 pounds that sells for $6.40 per pound. If the equation is written in standard form, you can either find the x and y intercepts or rewrite the equation in slope intercept form. Also – note that equations with three variables are represented by planes, not lines (you’ll learn about this in Geometry). $$\\begin{array}{c}6r+4t+3l=610\\\\r=2\\left( {t+l} \\right)\\\\\\,r+t+l=5\\left( {24} \\right)\\\\\\\\6\\left( {2t+2l} \\right)+4t+3l=610\\\\\\,12t+12l+4t+3l=610\\\\16t+15l=610\\\\\\\\\\left( {2t+2l} \\right)+t+l=5\\left( {24} \\right)\\\\3t+3l=120\\end{array}$$ $$\\displaystyle \\begin{array}{c}\\,\\,16t+15l=610\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,3t+3l=120\\\\\\,\\,\\underline{{-15t-15l=-600}}\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,t\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,=10\\\\16\\left( {10} \\right)+15l=610;\\,\\,\\,\\,l=30\\\\\\\\r=2\\left( {10+30} \\right)=80\\\\\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,\\,t=10,\\,\\,\\,l=30,\\,\\,\\,r=80\\end{array}$$. First, we get that $$s=3$$, so then we can substitute this in one of the 2 equations we’re working with. We can see the two graphs intercept at the point $$(4,2)$$.

Being unguided, it is very important to track its trajectory, and predict it long before launching. A rocket that flew into Fairbanks would not do very well!\nIn the very simplest form, a sounding rocket can be thought of as a particle, and as such would be subject to constant acceleration from the Earth, and no drag or other forces, except its thrust. For many situations this model is good enough! The model does however, make many assumptions (by eliminating all of the other forces acting on a rocket.) It also assumes that the mass of a rocket remains constant throughout flight. This is of course not true. Propellant is ejected to propel the rocket forward.\nHowever, if we are to use this model, it can be characterized by the basic kinematic equations of physics:\nFirst the range of a given rocket launched at an angle f from the horizon is:\nWhere range is the rockets range in kilometers, v0 is the initial velocity in meters per second, and g is the gravitational acceleration of earth. Thus when the angle f is 90°, the horizontal range of the rocket is 0.\nThe altitude the rocket will reach is as follows:\nWhere t is the time of flight in seconds. To find the maximum altitude, we simply modify the range equation to reflect the \"y\" component of the vehicles trajectory. We then get that the maximum altitude occurs when the vertical velocity of the vehicle is 0, so:\nWhere the parameters are all the same as the first (range) equation.\nThis provides a basic and simplified, yet powerful view of the basic trajectory of a ballistic sounding rocket.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.796875,"string":"3.796875"}}},{"rowIdx":1045,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1054,"string":"1,054"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Quick Answer: How Do You Find The 9s Complement Of A Binary Number?\n\n## How do you find the 10’s complement of 935 base 11?\n\nUsually, though, a number of digits is specified for consistency.\n\nThis leads to A’s being added to the left of the number.\n\nFor example, if we took the 10’s complement (base 11) with respect to 935 using, say, 8 place values, the result would be AAAAA175.\n\nUsing 4 digits, we’d get A175..\n\n## How do you find the complement of a binary number?\n\nTo get 1’s complement of a binary number, simply invert the given number. For example, 1’s complement of binary number 110010 is 001101. To get 2’s complement of binary number is 1’s complement of given number plus 1 to the least significant bit (LSB).\n\n## How do you find the complement of 8s?\n\nComplement of a number with any base bSubtract each digit of the number from the largest number in the number system with base .For example, if the number is a three digit number in base 9, then subtract the number from 888 as 8 is the largest number in base 9 number system.The obtained result is the (b-1)’s (8’s complement) complement.\n\n## How do you know if a binary number is negative?\n\nThe representation of a signed binary number is commonly referred to as the sign-magnitude notation and if the sign bit is “0”, the number is positive. If the sign bit is “1”, then the number is negative.\n\n## Is equal to signed binary number?\n\nHere,3 bit signed binary number representation is used. So, left most bit ( MSB ) shows the sign bit (It is 0 ) and 0 means the number is positive. Now the remaining two bits shows the magnitude of the number. So, decimal equivalent /magnitude of the binary number is 3 .\n\n## What is a binary subtractor?\n\nAs their name implies, a Binary Subtractor is a decision making circuit that subtracts two binary numbers from each other, for example, X – Y to find the resulting difference between the two numbers.\n\n## How do you find 9s and 10s complement?\n\n10’s complement subtraction Now first of all let us know what 9’s complement is and how it is done. To obtain the 9’s complement of any number we have to subtract the number with (10n – 1) where n = number of digits in the number, or in a simpler manner we have to divide each digit of the given decimal number with 9.\n\n## What is 2’s complement example?\n\nFor example, 2’s complement of “01000” is “11000” (Note that we first find one’s complement of 01000 as 10111). If there are all 1’s (in one’s complement), we add an extra 1 in the string. For example, 2’s complement of “000” is “1000” (1’s complement of “000” is “111”).\n\n## What is 2 complement of a binary number?\n\nTwo’s complement is a mathematical operation on binary numbers, and is an example of a radix complement. It is used in computing as a method of signed number representation. The two’s complement of an N-bit number is defined as its complement with respect to 2N; the sum of a number and its two’s complement is 2N.\n\n## What number complements to itself to make 10?\n\nTens ComplementNumberTens ComplementWhy? Because:0100 + 10 = 10191 + 9 = 10282 + 8 = 10373 + 7 = 107 more rows\n\n## What is number complement?\n\nThe “complement” is the number to add to make 10 (or 100, 1000, etc, depending on how many digits we have) Example The complement of 3 is 7, because 3+7=10 (we add 7 to make 10) Example: the complement of 85 is 15, because 85+15=100. Example: the complement of 111 is 889, because 111+889=1000.\n\n## What is 9’s complement?\n\nDecimal example The nines’ complement of a decimal digit is the number that must be added to it to produce 9; the complement of 3 is 6, the complement of 7 is 2, and so on, see table.

A mental illness can be mild or severe, temporary or prolonged. Most mental illnesses can be treated.\nMental illness can come and go throughout a person’s life. Some people experience their illness only once and fully recover. For others, it is prolonged and recurs over time. Mental illness can make it difficult for someone to cope with work, relationships and other aspects of their life.\nThe symptoms of mental illness\nA person with a mental illness can experience problems with their thinking, emotions and/or behaviour. These changes may happen quickly, or they may be gradual and subtle. It may take time to understand and identify what is happening.\nThese symptoms can include:\n- Thoughts and feelings that are out of the ordinary or difficult to understand, such as thought of being persecuted or under surveillance for which there is no proof\n- Experiencing sensations (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting something when there is nothing there that others can identify)\n- Odd behaviour.\nSchizophrenia is a psychotic illness.\nSome of the symptoms of a changed mood may include:\n- Persistent and pervasive feelings of sadness, elation, anxiety, fear or irritability\n- Changes in sleep patterns\n- Changes in appetite\n- Loss of interest in things that were previously enjoyable\n- Periods of increased or decreased activity, where things may be started and not finished\n- Difficulty thinking and concentrating\n- Excessive worries\n- Changes in use of alcohol and other drugs.\nExact causes are unknown\nMany mental illnesses are thought to have a biological cause. What triggers a mental illness is not known.\nThe relationship between stress and mental illness is complex, but it is known that stress can worsen an episode of mental illness.\nCompassion and understanding helps recovery\nMany people may not know how to respond to a person who is mentally ill. People may react with embarrassment, rejection and abuse if they do not understand unusual behaviour. Such reactions can be a big hurdle for people with a mental illness who are trying to get well.\nA person with a mental illness often faces isolation and discrimination from family, friends, employers and neighbours. These attitudes can make people hide their illness and feel ashamed. Family, friends, colleagues and other people can make a huge difference to a person’s recovery with understanding and compassion.\nType of help available\nDifferent mental illnesses need different treatments. Most people benefit from counselling, medication or both. People may also need help with other aspects of their life, such as work or recreation, to assist with recovery.\nWhere to get help\n- Your doctor\n- Local community mental health service\n- SANE Helpline Tel. 1800 187 263\n- AREFEMI (Association of Relatives and Friends of the Emotionally and Mentally Ill) Tel.

Interactive learning\nLeveraging technology excites students and increases engagement, which can increase students’ performance in the long run. According to a study conducted by game-based learning platform, Kahoot!, nearly two-thirds of teachers are using technology to encourage students to work in teams, and 58 percent are using it for problem-based learning. More than half of teachers are using technology to encourage creative thinking.\nInteractive learning and game-based platforms allow a more hands-on learning approach that presents the opportunity to explain topics that are often times too difficult to explain verbally. The use of iPads, computers, and other one-to-one devices are revolutionizing how students are taught. Students are no longer merely consumers of information; they are creators and producers of knowledge and information.

So, we can use this to split our integral into two separate integrals. We get the integral of eight multiplied by π‘₯ to the ninth power with respect to π‘₯ plus the integral of four divided by π‘₯ with respect to π‘₯.\n\nNext, we recall that if 𝑛 is not equal to negative one, then the integral of some constant π‘Ž multiplied by π‘₯ to the 𝑛th power with respect to π‘₯ is equal to π‘Ž divided by 𝑛 plus one multiplied by π‘₯ to the power of 𝑛 plus one plus our constant of integration, 𝑐.\n\nWe can use this to integrate eight multiplied by π‘₯ to the ninth power with respect to π‘₯. We’ll set our exponent, 𝑛, equal to nine and our coefficient, π‘Ž, equal to eight. Doing this gives us eight divided by nine plus one multiplied by π‘₯ to the power of nine plus one plus a constant of integration we will call 𝑐 one.\n\nNow, we recall that the integral of some constant π‘Ž divided by π‘₯ with respect to π‘₯ is equal to π‘Ž multiplied by the natural logarithm of the absolute value of π‘₯ plus a constant of integration, 𝑐. We can use this to integrate four divided by π‘₯ with respect to π‘₯. We’ll set our coefficient, π‘Ž, to be equal to four. This gives us four multiplied by the natural logarithm of the absolute value of π‘₯ plus a constant of integration we will call 𝑐 two.\n\nWe’re now ready to start simplifying. We have nine plus one is equal to 10. So, our first term is eight divided by 10 multiplied by π‘₯ to the 10th power. We have the both 𝑐 one and 𝑐 two, our constants of integration, so we can combine both of these into a new constant, which we will call 𝑐. This gives us eight over 10 multiplied by π‘₯ to the 10th power plus 𝑐 plus four multiplied by the natural logarithm of the absolute value of π‘₯. Finally, we can simplify eight divided by 10 to just be four divided by five.\n\nTherefore, we have shown that the integral of eight multiplied by π‘₯ to the ninth power plus four over π‘₯ with respect to π‘₯ is equal to four multiplied by π‘₯ to the 10th power divided by five plus four multiplied by the natural logarithm of the absolute value of π‘₯ plus a constant of integration, 𝑐.\n\n## Join Nagwa Classes\n\nAttend live sessions on Nagwa Classes to boost your learning with guidance and advice from an expert teacher!\n\n• Interactive Sessions\n• Chat & Messaging\n• Realistic Exam Questions<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.71875,"string":"4.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1050,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":278,"string":"278"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Diabetes Information and Type 2 Prevention\n- A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream.

This is because their pancreas does not make enough insulin or their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally, or both.\nTypes of Diabetes\nThere are three major types of diabetes:\n- Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood. The body makes little or no insulin, and daily injections of insulin are needed to sustain life.\n- Type 2 Diabetes is far more common than type 1 and makes up most of all cases of diabetes. It usually occurs in adulthood. The pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to the insulin.\nMany people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, although it is a serious condition.

For speed I shall follow the common convention of using v , which comes from 'velocity' – but you have to be careful not to get confused with v for voltage, as used in Section 4.4.\n\nSo we have\n\nTechnically the value for the velocity of something includes both its speed and the direction it is moving in. For our purposes there is no need to distinguish between speed and velocity. I shall just use the word speed and the symbol v.\n\nIf you know the distance travelled and speed but want to calculate the propagation time you use:\n\nwhich can be written:\n\nFinally, if you know the distance travelled and the propagation time, and want to calculate the speed, you use:\n\nor\n\nThese are of course quite general relationships between distance travelled, time taken and speed. We used the same relationship when doing the calculations for autofocusing in a camcorder, and it applies equally for the journey time driving along a motorway or cycling to work, assuming constant speed (or using average speed in the calculation). The relationship between these three terms is displayed on a formula triangle as shown in Figure 27. You can swap the 'time' t and 'speed' (v) in the lower corners – it doesn't matter which way round these are.\n\nFigure 27 The formula triangle\n\nEarlier I explained how you draw the formula triangle given one of the equations, but what is useful about the triangle is that you can get back to any of the equations from the triangle.\n\nYou do this by covering the quantity you want to calculate, and looking at the position of the other two (Figure 28). So if you want to calculate the time, you cover 'time' and observe that distance appears above speed, so you calculate time from distance divided by speed. Similarly, to calculate speed, you cover 'speed' and observe that distance appears above time so you divide distance by time. For calculating distance, you cover 'distance' and note that time is alongside speed, so you multiply the two together.\n\nFigure 28 Using the formula triangle\n\n## Activity 29\n\nIn Activity 20 you drew a formula triangle for the relationship between battery capacity, current (i) and the length of time a battery can be used (t).\n\n1. Suppose you know the battery capacity and the time you want to use the battery for. Write down the formula which will allow you to calculate the current. Use the formula triangle to help you.\n\n2. Suppose a battery has a capacity of 1.8 Ah and is to be used for 20 hours. What is the maximum current that can be drawn from it?\n\n### Discussion\n\n1. You need to use the formula triangle from the answer to Activity 20. If you know time and capacity, you can see by covering i (current) that current will be given by:\n\n2. If the capacity is 1.8 Ah and the time is 20 hours, the maximum current is:\n\nIt is important when doing the calculations that you use consistent units. You could use the standard units known as SI units (see box below), but you don't have to, so long as the units are consistent. For example, if you have speed in kilometres per hour and time in hours, then distance will be in kilometres.\n\nSI units\n\nOne way of ensuring that you are working with consistent units is to use the international standard units known as 'SI' units, where SI stands for the French words Système International. The SI unit for length is the metre and for time is the second. In SI units, therefore, speed is expressed as metres per second. There is more about SI units in The Sciences Good Study Guide (Northedge et al., 1997).\n\n## Activity 30\n\nFor a communications satellite to be in a geostationary orbit it has to be about 36,000 km above the Earth. How much delay will be introduced to a radio signal by having to go up to and back down from the satellite? Radio signals travel at the speed of light (3×108 m/s), and you should assume that the signals go straight up and straight down. Note that this assumption – straight up and straight down – simplifies the calculation, and means that you get a value that would be an underestimate to the delay, for all cases except where the communication really is straight up and down (see Figure 29). In practice, communication via the satellite will often use an angled path and therefore have a larger delay.\n\nFigure 29 Path lengths in satellite communications\n\n### Discussion\n\nWe need the time, so we use:\n\nWe first write the distance and speed in consistent units. The speed is in units of metres per second (3×108 m/s) but the distance is in kilometres (36,000 km). The multiplier 'kilo' is ×1000, so in metres the distance is 36,000×1000 m=36,000,000 m=3.6×107 m. This is the distance to or from the satellite. One 'hop' – up and down – is twice this distance, 7.2×107m.\n\nSo we have:\n\nYou might think that 0.24 seconds (about a quarter of a second) is not very long, but in fact if you were having a conversation with someone and there was a delay this long, it would be quite noticeable – and something of a nuisance. When you say something then stop to wait for a reply, it takes a quarter of a second for what you say to reach the other person, then there is another quarter of a second delay before the reply reaches you. So, in total, there is half a second delay (in addition to the recipient deciding what to say) between you finishing what you say and hearing the reply.\n\n## Activity 31\n\nSatellites are frequently used for transatlantic communication, but the alternative is to use undersea cables. These days undersea cables would invariably use optical fibre. Light in fibre travels at about 2/3 of the speed of light in the air (light travels more slowly in glass than in the air) and therefore the signal speed is about 2×108 m/s. The distance across the Atlantic (depending upon where you start and finish) is about 4000 km. How long does it take for a signal to cross the Atlantic travelling through optical fibre?\n\n### Discussion\n\nWe need the time, so we use:\n\nWe first write the distance and speed in consistent units. The speed is in metres per second, m/s. The distance is in kilometres, so we need to change it to metres. 1 kilometre is 1000 metres, so 4000 km is 4000 × 103 m=4×106 m.\n\nSo,\n\nYou will have seen from the last activity that the delay when using optical fibre is very much less than when using a geostationary satellite. This is not the whole story, because there may be further delays when signals are manipulated (which can happen both with satellites and optical fibre links), but nevertheless it remains true that in speech telephony there is a noticeable delay when the communication uses a geostationary satellite, but not, usually, when it uses a fibre link. Delays used to be commonly encountered when you telephoned the USA from the UK, but that is rare these days because most transatlantic calls are via optical fibre links. It is important to appreciate that the large delay when using geostationary satellites comes about because geostationary satellites are so far from the Earth. Other satellites are also used whose orbits are much closer to the Earth. Communication via these non-geostationary satellites can have a smaller delay, but there are other complications because the satellite is moving relative to the Earth's surface.\n\nAs you saw in the Taylor extract in Section 2, news broadcasts often use geostationary satellites and therefore suffer from the larger delay. The processing (manipulation) used in MPEG encoding, especially motion compensation, adds yet more delay. The combined delays of transmission and processing can cause problems for live news broadcasts, as Higgins discusses later in his book:\n\nThe interaction in a 'live' two-way interview requires that both the questions and answers are delivered as smoothly as possible, but the delay of the compression process which is then added to the fixed satellite delay means that these interviews often have an awkward hesitancy about them.\n\nThis can be masked to a degree by imaginative techniques used both in the studio and out in the field, but there is always the evident hesitation between interviewer and interviewee. These compression delays ('latency') have reduced as the computational advances in processing speed have increased.\n\nThe viewer is also growing more tolerant of these delays to the point where they are hardly noticed, and so the problems are diminishing as time passes.\n\nSome coders also offer a facility to improve the latency at the expense of movement compensation [motion compensation] – the so-called interview or low-delay mode. This is selected via the front panel menu of the MPEG-2 coder, reducing the overall processing time of the signal.\n\nChanging production techniques is by far the best way to try to overcome these awkward pauses. It is common for the studio to cue the reporter a fraction of a second earlier than normal, so that by the time they respond, the delay has passed unnoticed.\n\nOften you will see reporters in the field looking thoughtful or slowly nodding after they have replied to a question, so that it makes their eventual answer to the next question look as if it is very carefully considered reply! Like many other things in TV, much can be achieved by using 'smoke and mirrors'!\n\nThese techniques of course do not work if it is a straight 'down the line' interview with a member of the public, who naturally is unaware of these tricks of the trade.\n\nHowever, you can often see this all going horribly wrong even with a seasoned reporter if there is a studio presenter asking questions who does not appreciate the subtle techniques required to cope with satellite and compression delay.\n\nClassically this happens when part way through the answer from a reporter in the field, the presenter interjects with a supplementary question or comment. The field reporter carries on for a second or so, then halts in their tracks, meanwhile the studio presenter realises their mistake and urges the reporter in the field to continue – and you get a cycle of each end saying 'Sorry, please go on'.\n\nThis was a lesson that had to be learnt in the early days of satellite broadcasting which became more acute when digital processing and encoding was introduced – yet you still see these problems occurring today.\n\nHiggins (2004)<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.5625,"string":"4.5625"}}},{"rowIdx":1053,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":440,"string":"440"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Touch typing is a method for typing on a keyboard, where the keyboard is logically arranged into columns and each column is typed with not more than one finger.\nBoth the main keyboard and the numeric keypad can be touch-typed.\nThere is some disagreement over how to properly touch type on the numeric row.

In many scenarios, this probability is assumed to be $p = \\frac{1}{2}$ for an unbiased coin. In this instance, $P(H) = 3P(T)$ so that $p = 3(1-p) \\implies 4p = 3$ or $p = \\frac{3}{4}$.\n\nYou are interested in the event that out of three coin tosses, at least 2 of them are Heads, or equivalently, at most one of them is tails. So you are interested in finding the likelihood of zero tails, or one tails.\n\nThe probability of zero tails would be the case where you only received heads. Since each coin toss is independent, you can multiply these three tosses together: $P(H)P(H)P(H) = p^3$ or in your case, $(\\frac{3}{4})^3 = \\frac{27}{64}$.\n\nNow we must consider the case where one of your coin flips is a tails. Since you have three flips, you have three independent opportunities for tails. The likelihood of two heads and one tails is $3(p^2)(1-p)$. The reason for the 3 coefficient is the fact that there are three possible events which include two heads and one tails: $HHT, HTH, THH$. In your case (where the coin is 3 times more likely to have heads): $3(\\frac{3}{4})^2(\\frac{1}{4}) = \\frac{27}{64}$.\n\nAdding those events together you get $p^3 + 3(p^2)(1-p) = \\frac{54}{64}$. Note that the 3 coefficient is a result of the binomial expansion as used by @Back2Basic\n\n$a = P(H), b = P(T) \\to a+b=1, a=3b \\to a = 0.75, b = 0.25 \\to P( x \\geq 2) = P(2) + P(3) = \\binom{3}{2}a^2b + a^3$. That's all I can offer....\n\n• $P( x \\geq 2) = P(2) + P(3) = \\binom{3}{2}a^2b + a^3$, I don't understand that part. Can you link on something that I can read about this? And it seems you use binomial expansion. Not sure I'm familiar with using it in this context. @Back2Basic Jan 16, 2015 at 14:28\n• I used binomial distribution $P(x=k) = \\binom{n}{k} p^kq^{n-k}$ Jan 16, 2015 at 14:30<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.40625,"string":"4.40625"}}},{"rowIdx":1056,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":597,"string":"597"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Pumpkin Pie Fractions\n\nMy nine-year-old learned about fractions with pizza. That’s such a yummy idea.\n\nBut now that Thanksgiving is coming soon, I needed to come up with another – but equally yummy – idea for fractions.\n\nI thought round and I thought delicious. I thought pumpkin pie.\n\nYum.\n\nThis Pumpkin Pie Fractions activity is so easy to create. Once you have it made, it will hold up for hours of hands-on math fun.\n\nDisclosure: This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure Page for details.\n\n### How to make your pie fractions:\n\nNext, paint the middle section of your paper plates with orange paint. Don’t worry about making sure your lines are straight. Remember, pies never look perfect!\n\nOnce your paint is dry, use your ruler to divide the pie into fractions. One pie will be divided into half. Divide the second pie into thirds, the third pie into fourths, and the fourth pie into eights. Trace your lines with your black permanent marker.\n\nLabel each of the pies with the corresponding fraction using your permanent marker.\n\nFinally, cut each pie along the dividing lines.\n\n### How can you play with your Pumpkin Pie Fractions?\n\nUse them as puzzles. Give your kids a pile of mixed up pie pieces and have them put each pie together. They’ll have to match the type of fraction and then make a whole pie. This is a great way to easily see how many of each fraction makes a whole.\n\nMake equal pie wedges (make equivalent fractions). How many quarter pieces do you need to make a half piece. Use the bigger wedge as a guide to fill in with smaller pieces.\n\nMake a mixed up fraction pie. Can you make a whole pie using different sized fractions? Let you kids experiment to find different combinations.\n\nBuild other fractions with your pie pieces. Make a 3/8 wedge by putting together three 1/8 wedges. Or make 3/4 with three of the quarter pieces. What other sizes can you make?\n\nLet their homework be the guide. What is your child working on in class? Use your pies as a hands-on tool to supplement their learning at home. If you need more pie sizes (maybe divided into fifths, sixths, or sevenths), just grab a few more paper plates.\n\nLet your kids lead the way. My girls set up a pie shop and sold all their different wedges. They had no idea how much they were learning along the way! I just sat back and let them have some fun.\n\nHow would you use these Pumpkin Pie Fractions?\n\nThe following two tabs change content below.\n\n#### Terri Thompson\n\nTerri is a writer and mom of two elementary-aged girls.

It is present from birth (congenital) or is noticeable soon after birth. The nevus may be small in infants, but it will usually grow at the same rate the body grows and will eventually be at least 40 cm (15.75 inches) across. The nevus can appear anywhere on the body, but it is more often found on the trunk or limbs. The color ranges from tan to black and can become darker or lighter over time. The surface of a nevus can be flat, rough, raised, thickened, or bumpy; the surface can vary in different regions of the nevus, and it can change over time. The skin of the nevus is often dry and prone to irritation and itching (dermatitis). Excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis) can occur within the nevus. There is often less fat tissue under the skin of the nevus; the skin may appear thinner there than over other areas of the body.\nPeople with giant congenital melanocytic nevus may have more than one nevus (plural: nevi). The other nevi are often smaller than the giant nevus. Affected individuals may have one or two additional nevi or multiple small nevi that are scattered over the skin; these are known as satellite or disseminated nevi.\nAffected individuals may feel anxiety or emotional stress due to the impact the nevus may have on their appearance and their health. Children with giant congenital melanocytic nevus can develop emotional or behavior problems.\nSome people with giant congenital melanocytic nevus develop a condition called neurocutaneous melanosis, which is the presence of pigment-producing skin cells (melanocytes) in the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord. These melanocytes may be spread out or grouped together in clusters. Their growth can cause increased pressure in the brain, leading to headache, vomiting, irritability, seizures, and movement problems. Tumors in the brain may also develop.\nIndividuals with giant congenital melanocytic nevus have an increased risk of developing an aggressive form of skin cancer called melanoma, which arises from melanocytes. Estimates vary, but it is generally thought that people with giant congenital melanocytic nevus have a 5 to 10 percent lifetime risk of developing melanoma. Melanoma commonly begins in the nevus, but it can develop when melanocytes that invade other tissues, such as those in the brain and spinal cord, become cancerous. When melanoma occurs in people with giant congenital melanocytic nevus, the survival rate is low.\nOther types of tumors can also develop in individuals with giant congenital melanocytic nevus, including soft tissue tumors (sarcomas), fatty tumors (lipomas), and tumors of the nerve cells (schwannomas).\nGiant congenital melanocytic nevus occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 newborns worldwide.\nThe proteins produced from these genes are involved in a process known as signal transduction by which signals are relayed from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus. Signals relayed by the N-Ras and BRAF proteins instruct the cell to grow and divide (proliferate) or to mature and take on specialized functions (differentiate). To transmit signals, these proteins must be turned on; when the proteins are turned off, they do not relay signals to the cell's nucleus.\nThe NRAS or BRAF gene mutations responsible for giant congenital melanocytic nevus are somatic, meaning that they are acquired during a person's lifetime and are present only in certain cells. These mutations occur early in embryonic development during the growth and division (proliferation) of cells that develop into melanocytes. Somatic NRAS or BRAF gene mutations cause the altered protein in affected cells to be constantly turned on (constitutively active) and relaying signals. The overactive protein may contribute to the development of giant congenital melanocytic nevus by allowing cells that develop into melanocytes to grow and divide uncontrollably, starting before birth.\n- congenital giant pigmented nevus of skin\n- congenital melanocytic nevus syndrome\n- giant congenital melanocytic nevi\n- giant congenital pigmented nevus\n- giant pigmented hairy nevus\n- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia: Birthmarks\n- KidsHealth from Nemours: Birthmarks\n- KidsHealth from Nemours: Melanoma\n- MalaCards: giant congenital nevus\n- Merck Manual Consumer Version: Melanoma\n- Orphanet: Large congenital melanocytic nevus\n- Seattle Children's Hospital: Birthmarks\n- What is a Large/Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus?<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.75,"string":"3.75"}}},{"rowIdx":1058,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":530,"string":"530"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"For some children, learning to spell is incredibly frustrating—and something that never seems to get easier or less confusing. The bad news is that spelling troubles are unlikely to go away on their own. The good news is that there are many things parents can do to help their children become better spellers, and as a result, better students. Here are several tips to help your child improve his or her spelling ability:\nEncourage mastery of the sight words. You probably recall the words sent home by your child’s kindergarten and first grade teachers that you were instructed to have your child memorize by sight. Sight words—also known as Dolch words—are the most frequently used words in the English language. Many sight words have irregular spellings and it is critical that students memorize them and know how to spell them.\nMake sure your student understands the different sounds that letter combinations make. Reading fluency is achieved through a series of “building block” skills, including understanding that words are composed of letters and word units and that letters (and letter combinations) make individual sounds. Your child should be able to sound out:\nHelp your child recognize word families. Once your child masters train, give him or her a list of other words that share the same ain ending, such as chain and brain. Guide your child as he or she plays with letter combinations to understand word patterns.\nHelp your child memorize common spelling rules. Scholastic offers a helpful printable chart that summarizes spelling rules for ei vs. ie words, compound words, plurals, possessives, prefixes and suffixes. Once your child memorizes these basics, he or she will be able to apply them consistently and catch his or her spelling mistakes more easily.\nPractice, practice, practice. Provided a student has a basic understanding of word structure, letter sounds, common spelling rules and relationships between words, repetition is critical to master spelling. As your child studies his or her new weekly spelling words, try the look, visualize, write, check approach. If your child gets tripped up with the same words over and over, practice them in the same way you would if they were brand new spelling words.\nSpelling takes continued practice—and even adults can struggle with it throughout their lives. Frequent reading and repeated exposure to the spoken and written word are the best ways for students to acquire strong spelling skills. And when problems arise, early intervention is critical (as with all literacy skills). The sooner you can spot and correct spelling difficulties, the easier it will be for your child to become a good speller.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.1875,"string":"4.1875"}}},{"rowIdx":1059,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":743,"string":"743"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Today, ocean tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world. They are periodic rises and falls in the level of the sea. They are also formed by the gravitational pull of the Moon together with the Sun on the water in the ocean. Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it has a higher gravitational attraction for the Earth since the Moon is very close to the Earth. This results in oceans bulging out in the direction of the moon. Read on to explore more facts about ocean tides.\nSpring tides are particularly strong tides (they don’t have anything to do with the spring season). They usually occur when the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the new moon and the full moon.\nThe key to appreciating how the ocean tides occur is understanding the relationship between the Sun and Moon and the motion of our planet. As the Earth rotates on its own axis, the ocean water is kept at equivalent levels around the planet by the gravity of Earth pulling inward and the centrifugal force pushing outward.\nBut, the gravitational forces of Moon are sufficiently strong to disturb this balance by accelerating the flow of water towards the Moon. This causes the water to ‘bulge.’ Also, as the Moon orbits our planet as it rotates, the bulge also moves. The regions of the Earth where the bulging happens experience high tide and the other places are subject to a low tide.\nThere are several factors involved in predicting the ocean tides. Apart from the motion of the Sun and Moon, the timing of the ocean tides is also influenced by the declination of the Moon (angular height above the equator), the topography of the ocean floor, the local geography of the coastline, and the depth of the water, among other factors. Hence, the tides cannot be perfectly predicted mainly by astronomical calculations which track the Moon and Sun. For highest accuracy, tide prediction tables always integrate the data from real observation, usually over a period of several years.\nInteresting Facts About Ocean Tides:\n- Ocean’s tides are usually created by combining the gravitational attraction of the Sun and the Moon, combined with Earth rotation.\n- The tides are long-period waves which appear as a result of rising and fall of the sea since they reach the coastline.\n- The earth rotates on its axis once in every 25 hours, and the moon revolves around the earth once in every 27 days.\n- Many places in the ocean experience two low tides and two high tides every day.\n- The tidal troughs are always separated by almost 12 hours.\n- The alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth cause the more gravitation pull which results in maximum tides.\n- The lowest tide height difference usually occurs in the deepest part of the ocean at about 1.6ft.\n- The highest tide height difference to ever happen is in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada at about 15 meters!\n- There are times in the rotation of the moon which is at right angles to the earth-sun line. This is in the last quarter and first quarter phase. This causes interference between the moon’s and the sun’s gravitational pull and results in weaker tidal troughs. These are known as Neap Tides.\n- There are times during the rotation of the moon that is on the same side of the earth as the sun. This happens at the full moon and new moon phase. It results in greater tidal troughs. These are known as Spring tides.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.25,"string":"4.25"}}},{"rowIdx":1060,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1536,"string":"1,536"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Number Nine\n\nIf you read the article The Essence of Reality, then you’re familiar with my concept of the decimary computer and how I believe it governs the hologram reality we exist in. I made some brazen statements in that article about how I believe this reality behaves as if it were a computer program and how I feel different mathematical constants, like the Fibonacci Sequence, make up the rules of the construct.\n\nI’m going to build a little bit more on those concepts in this article.\n\nWe’ll begin with the number nine because, for me, it’s the most interesting of Tesla’s three numbers and, I feel, it holds some of the most valuable information in the system.I believe there are no other numbers in this decimary computer hologram more important or significant than the number nine. Nine is everything and nothing all at the same time.\n\nI’ll illustrate this point using vortex math:\n\n0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 36\n\nNine is the sum total of all the base numbers added together:\n\n3 + 6 = 9\n\nNine is everything.\n\nVortex math is a mathematical system used to understand how numbers relate to one another. As illustrated above, you add the base numbers of a larger number together until you arrive at a single digit. In this case, all ten of the base numbers in the numerical system add up to thirty-six.\n\nFurther, when three and six are added together they reduce to nine. This is why I said nine is everything. It’s the sum total reduced number of all the others.\n\nNow what do I mean by nine is nothing?\n\nThere is a method in vortex math called “casting out the nines”. A nine, or the sum of any numbers adding up to nine within a number can be treated as zeros in vortex math. For example:\n\n496\n\n4 + 9 + 6 = 19\n\n1 + 9 = 10\n\n1 + 0 = 1\n\nWe can arrive at the base number of one much more quickly by “casting out the nines”:\n\n4 + 6 = 10\n\n1 + 0 = 1\n\nNine acts as a zero. Nine is nothing.\n\nSee what I did there?\n\nLet’s try it again with a group of numbers within a number that adds up to nine:\n\n4567\n\n4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 22\n\n2 + 2 = 4\n\nNow let’s cast out the nines (4 + 5):\n\n4567\n\n6 + 7 = 13\n\n1 + 3 = 4\n\nAgain, nine acts as a zero. Nine is nothing. You can try this with any vortex math equation containing nines or numbers equaling nine and come up with the same results.\n\nNine is everything and nothing at the same time.\n\nI wish I could say I created this short film, but I didn’t. I don’t know who made it. I found it floating around YouTube. It beautifully illustrates what I’m getting at here – so far – and also gives us a look at nine working in geometry in less than three minutes:\n\nLet’s go a little further with the number nine.\n\nIt gets even more interesting when we look at the number nine in its multiplication tables:\n\n9 x 0 = 0\n9 x 1 = 9\n9 x 2 = 18\n9 x 3 = 27\n9 x 4 = 36\n9 x 5 = 45\n9 x 6 = 54\n9 x 7 = 63\n9 x 8 = 72\n9 x 9 = 81\n9 x 10 = 90\n9 x 11 = 99\n\nSo what, right? I know, you learned this in grade school, who cares? What’s the point? What’s special about the nine times tables?\n\nMaybe if I split them in half and show just the sums side-by-side, you’ll notice something peculiar:\n\n00 – 99\n09 – 90\n18 – 81\n27 – 72\n36 – 63\n45 – 54\n\nDo you see it?\n\nNine is the only number that does this. The sums of 2 x 9 through 5 x 9 are the flipped reverse of sums of 6 x 9 through 9 x 9. 9 x 1 and 9 x 10 are technically the same using vortex math. Using 9 x 11:\n\n9 x 11 = 99\n\nNine becomes a zero again.\n\nLet me explain it a little better.\n\nFirst, any number that’s divisible by nine will always reduce back to it:\n\n108\n\n1 + 0 + 8 = 9\n\nNow, if you cast out the nine here (8 + 1), you’re left with a zero. The equation is zero! This is technically true of any sequence of numbers that add up to nine. If you cast out the nine, then nothing remains. Numbers like:\n\n72\n\nCast out the nine and nothing remains, or work it out with vortex math:\n\n7 + 2 = 9\n\nand nine is the reduced number.\n\nNine is everything and nothing at the same time.\n\nDid I mention that multiples of nine also reduce back to it? In a way I did, but I actually didn’t, so let’s look at it:\n\n801 x 2 = 1,602\n\n1 + 6 + 0 + 2 = 9 (or 0)\n\nBy the way, in ancient cultures, 72 and 144 were sacred numbers – 72 is actually 144 divided in half. Both reduce to 9 (0) and both are divisible by nine. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. There were reportedly 144,000 casing stones on the Great Pyramid of Giza, and 144 is also the first number in the Fibonacci Sequence divisible by nine. Nine divides into 144 sixteen times (9 x 16 = 144) which is significant because the Phi ratio is 1.6(18) which is arguably what the Fibonacci Sequence is attempting to achieve in nature (that’s a whole other study for another time). Is 144 the closest Fibonacci gets to the symmetrical perfection of 1.618?\n\nAre all these equations just cute little tricks with math? In a sense, maybe, yes.\n\nUntil you consider the concept that numbers weren’t invented, they were discovered. Many mathematicians don’t enjoy admitting it, but each number was a discovery. Certain cultures wouldn’t discover the zero until later in their evolutionary development, and it was usually found through the interaction with other cultures who figured it out. Most notably, the Romans never had the concept of zero in their numerical system until after 300 A. D. when they adopted the Arabic numerals which worked in decimals (tens) and accounted for the zero.\n\nMost people have ten fingers and ten toes. It’s almost as if to show us how many numbers there truly are.\n\nConsider this article a reference and a building block for things to come. It’s a corner stone, but certainly not the chief corner stone. The chief corner stone will come once the foundation is laid. I’m sure I’ll refer back to this article in future articles. In order to understand how the number nine, say, seems to govern the Fibonacci Sequence, we need this little article as a primer to build on.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.5,"string":"4.5"}}},{"rowIdx":1061,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1694,"string":"1,694"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"\"\"\n\n# 6.1: Fraction Rounding to the Nearest Half\n\nDifficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12\nEstimated2 minsto complete\n%\nProgress\nPractice Fraction Rounding to the Nearest Half\n\nMEMORY METER\nThis indicates how strong in your memory this concept is\nProgress\nEstimated2 minsto complete\n%\nEstimated2 minsto complete\n%\nMEMORY METER\nThis indicates how strong in your memory this concept is\n\nHave you ever measured something? Was the measurement perfect or was it too small?\n\nWell, if you were working on a construction site, you would be doing a lot of measuring so rounding up or down if things weren't perfect would be very important. These part measurements are also fractions, just like you have learned about in other Concepts.\n\nThink about how you would round: three - fourths, one - sixth or five - tenths as you work through this Concept.\n\nIn this Concept, you will learn how to round a fraction to the nearest half.\n\n### Guidance\n\nWe use fractions in everyday life all the time. Remember that when we talk about a fraction, we are talking about a part of a whole. Often times, we need to use an exact fraction, but sometimes, we can use an estimate. If you think back to our earlier work on estimation, you will remember that an estimate is an approximate value that makes sense or is reasonable given the problem.\n\nWhat fraction does this picture represent?\n\nIf we wanted to be exact about this fraction, we could say that there are 1220\\begin{align*}\\frac{12}{20}\\end{align*} shaded boxes. However, it might be simpler to say that about half of the boxes are shaded.\n\nWe call this rounding to the nearest half.\n\nHow do we round to the nearest half?\n\nTo round a fraction to the nearest half, we need to think in terms of halves. We often think in terms of wholes, so this is definitely a change in our thinking. There are three main values to round to when we round a fraction to the nearest half.\n\nThe first is zero. We can think of 0 as 02\\begin{align*}\\frac{0}{2}\\end{align*}, or zero halves. The second value is 12\\begin{align*}\\frac{1}{2}\\end{align*}, or one half. The third value is 1, which can be thought of as 22\\begin{align*}\\frac{2}{2}\\end{align*}, or two halves. When rounding to the nearest half, we round the fraction to whichever half the fraction is closest to on the number line 0, 12\\begin{align*}\\frac{1}{2}\\end{align*}, or 1. If a fraction is equally close to two different halves, we round the fraction up.\n\n56\\begin{align*}\\frac{5}{6}\\end{align*}\n\nTo figure out which value five-sixths is closest to, we must first think in terms of sixths. Since the denominator is six, that means that the whole is divided into six parts. The fraction 06\\begin{align*}\\frac{0}{6}\\end{align*} would be the value of zero, 36\\begin{align*}\\frac{3}{6}\\end{align*} would be the value of 12\\begin{align*}\\frac{1}{2}\\end{align*}, and 66\\begin{align*}\\frac{6}{6}\\end{align*} is the same as 1. The fraction 56\\begin{align*}\\frac{5}{6}\\end{align*} is closest to 66\\begin{align*}\\frac{6}{6}\\end{align*}, so rounding to the nearest half would be rounding to 1.\n\nTry a few of these on your own. Round each fraction to the nearest half.\n\n#### Example A\n\n15\\begin{align*}\\frac{1}{5}\\end{align*}\n\nSolution: 0\n\n#### Example B\n\n38\\begin{align*}\\frac{3}{8}\\end{align*}\n\nSolution:12\\begin{align*}\\frac{1}{2}\\end{align*}\n\n#### Example C\n\n79\\begin{align*}\\frac{7}{9}\\end{align*}\n\nSolution:1\\begin{align*}1\\end{align*}\n\nNow let's go back and think about those measurements from the very beginning of the Concept.\n\nThink about how you would round: three - fourths, one - sixth or five - tenths as you work through this Concept. We can round three - fourths to 1. We can round one - sixth down to 0. We can round five - tenths to one - half.\n\n### Vocabulary\n\nHere are the vocabulary words in this Concept.\n\nFraction\na part of a whole written with a fraction bar, a numerator and a denominator.\nEstimate\nto find an approximate answer that is reasonable and makes sense given the problem.\n\n### Guided Practice\n\nHere is one for you to try on your own.\n\nJessica discovered that 49\\begin{align*}\\frac{4}{9}\\end{align*} of a pan of brownies had been eaten.

Now let’s look at an example where we solve for the number of years n. This problem is different because what we are looking for appears in a power.\n\nProblem Suppose \\$5000 is deposited in an account that earns 2% compound interest that is done annually. In how many years will there be \\$6000 in the account.\n\nSolution This problem requires the use of the compound interest formula,\n\nThis formula applies when interest is earned on an annual basis and the interest is earned once a year.\n\nLet’s look at the quantities in the problem statement:\n\n• \\$5000 is deposited in an account  >  P = 5000\n• that earns 2% compound interest that is done annually  >  r = 0.02\n• Will there be \\$6000 in the account  >  A = 6000\n\nPutting these values into the formula above gives us\n\nUnlike other problems where we solve for P or r, here we need to solve for the power in the right hand side, n. Solving for a value in the power requires the property of logarithms, log(yx) = x logy. It allows us to move the n in the power and change it to a multiplier. But before we can apply this property, we isolate the factor containing the n:\n\nNow take the logarithm of both sides of the equation:\n\nThis gives us\n\nor n ≈ 9.21 years.\n\nIn WolframAlpha, we could evaluate the logs as follows.\n\nHow Do You Solve For The Rate In The Compound Interest Formula?\n\nProblems that ask you to solve for the rate r in the compound interest formula require the use of roots or creative use of exponents. Let’s look at an example.\n\nProblem Suppose 5000 dollars is deposited in an account that earns compound interest that is done annually. If there is 7000 dollars in the account after 2 years, what is the annual interest rate?\n\nSolution The easiest way to approach this problem is to use the compound interest formula,\n\nThis formula applies when interest is earned on an annual basis and the interest is earned once a year.\n\nLet’s look at the quantities in the problem statement:\n\n• 5000 dollars is deposited in an account > P = 5000\n• If there is 7000 dollars in the account after 2 years > A = 7000 and n = 2\n\nPutting these values into the formula above gives us\n\nWe need to find the annual interest rate r. Since the r is hidden in the parentheses, we start by isolating the parentheses.\n\nTo get at the r, we need to remove the square on the parentheses.\n\nUsing a calculator to do the square root, we get r ≈ 0.183 or 18.3%.\n\nAlthough most calculators have a square root key, when removing powers it is often useful to raise both sides to a power. For instance, we could remove the square by raising both sides to the ½ power.\n\nWhen you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents 2 ∙ ½ = 1. The right side simply becomes 1 + r. Now we can solve for r:\n\nUsing the power key on your calculator gives the same answer as before. Make sure the 1/2 power is entirely in the power. You can make sure this happens using parentheses: (7000/5000)^(1/2)-1.\n\nNow what if the interest is earned over six years instead of two years? Instead of a square on the parentheses we now have a sixth power.\n\nTo solve for r in this equation, we follow similar steps.\n\nThe root can be computed on a graphing calculator using the MATH button or put into WolframAlpha:\n\nEither method gives r ≈ 0.577 or 5.77%. Notice that the annual interest is lower when it is earned over a longer period of time.\n\nIf we use a 1/6 power to solve for r, we would carry out the steps below:\n\nUsing a 1/6 power on your calculator gives the same answer as above.\n\nHow Do You Find Compound Interest Future Value In Google Sheets?\n\nSpreadsheets have several built in functions for working with compound interest and annuities. To use these functions, we’ll start with a standard sheet.\n\nThis worksheet contains the variables used throughout Chapter 8. These variables correspond to these letter used in the text.\n\n• Number of periods is n\n• Annual interest rate is r\n• Payment is R\n• Present value is P\n• Future value is A\n• Periods per year is m\n\nValues given in a problem will be entered in column B.

We will also assume that amounts paid out are negative and amounts received are positive.\n\nWhat Is The Difference Between Unpaid Balance And Average Balance?\n\nTwo methods of calculating interest on a credit card statement are generally in use: the unpaid balance method and the average daily balance method. To look at the difference between the unpaid balance method and the average balance method, let’s look at the credit card statement below.\n\nIn this statement, the average daily balance method is used to calculate the interest.\n\nIf you calculate with the average balance method, it looks like this.\n\nYou can click on this to make it larger.\n\nHere is how interest is calculated via the unpaid balance method. I noticed that I got a different number for the new balance in the two different classes. I think one of you gave me a bogus number somewhere. This picture is from the MW class and Jim in the TTh class came up with 2149.86. The key is to make sure you add and subtract the numbers appropriately to get the new balance.\n\nYou can click on this to make it larger.\n\nNotice that these look very similar…only how the balance is calculated is different. Once you get that balance, the interest is calculated with I = P r t.\n\nHow Does Add On Interest Work?\n\nWhen you have an add-on loan, the interest on the loan is a percentage of the original amount. Payments are calculated on the loan amount plus the interest (add-on!)\n\nLet’s look at an example.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.71875,"string":"4.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1067,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":780,"string":"780"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"The Hubble Space Telescope shows the luminous explosion of supernova 1987a within the Large Magellanic Cloud, the neighboring galaxy to the Milky Way.\nCredit: R. Kirshner (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation), and M. Mutchler and R. Avila (STScI)/NASA/ESA\nOn Feb. 23, 1987, the light from a giant, exploding star reached Earth. The event, which took place in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy 168,000 light-years away that circles our Milky Way, was the closest supernova to occur in nearly 400 years, and the first since the invention of modern telescopes.\nMore than 30 years later, a team has used X-ray observations and physical simulations to accurately measure the temperature of elements in the gas around the dead star for the first time. As the hyperfast shockwaves from the heart of the supernova slam into atoms in the surrounding gas, they heat those atoms to hundreds of millions of degrees Fahrenheit.\nGoing out with a bang\nWhen giant stars reach old age, their outer layers slough off and cool into enormous, remnant structures around the star. The star’s core creates a spectacular supernova blast, leaving behind either an ultradense neutron star or a black hole. Shock waves from the explosion travel out at one-tenth the speed of light and hit the surrounding gas, heating it up and making it shine in bright X-rays.\nNASA’s space-based Chandra X-ray telescope has been monitoring the emissions from supernova 1987A, as the dead star is known, since the telescope was launched 20 years ago. In that time, supernova 1987A has surprised researchers time and again, David Burrows, a physicist at The Pennsylvania State University and co-author of the new paper, told Live Science. “One big surprise was the discovery of a series of three rings around it,” he said.\nSince around 1997, the shock wave from supernova 1987A has been interacting with the innermost ring, called the equatorial ring, Burrows said. Using Chandra, he and his group have been monitoring the light created by the shock waves as they interact with the equatorial ring in order to learn how the gas and dust in the ring heats up. They wanted to figure out the temperatures of different elements in the material as the shock front engulfs it, a long-standing issue that has been difficult to determine accurately.\nTo help in the measurements, the team created detailed 3D computer simulations of the supernova that disentangled the many processes at play — the speed of the shock wave, the temperature of the gas and the resolution limits of Chandra’s instruments. From there, they were able to pin down the temperature of a wide range of elements, from light atoms like nitrogen and oxygen, all the way up to heavy ones like silicon and iron, said Burrows. The temperatures ranged from millions to hundreds of millions of degrees.\nThe findings provide important insights into the dynamics of supernova 1987A and help test models of a specific type of shock front, Jacco Vink, a high-energy astrophysicist at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, who was not involved in the work, told Live Science.\nBecause the charged particles from the blast are not hitting atoms in the surrounding gas, but rather scatter the gas atoms using electric and magnetic fields, this shock is known as a collisionless shock, he added. The process is common throughout the universe, and so understanding it better would help researchers with other phenomena, such as the solar wind’s interaction with interstellar material and cosmological simulations about the formation of large-scale structure in the universe.\nOriginally published on Live Science.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.09375,"string":"4.09375"}}},{"rowIdx":1068,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":704,"string":"704"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Unlike domestic dogs, female coyotes only give birth once a year, in early summer. They can hybridize, though, creating offspring called ‘coydogs’.\nCoyotes live throughout North America, from the humid forests of Panama to the treeless tundra regions of Canada and Alaska. They are most common in the unpopulated desert areas of the south-western United States and northern Mexico. As wolves have declined in numbers across North America, so the smaller and more adaptable coyote has become more numerous. Its range expanded markedly through the twentieth century and now coyotes can be encountered in suburban parts of New York and elsewhere, reaching the east coast only 30 years ago.\nThese dogs look a little like small grey wolves. They are typically found alone. Coyotes may dig their own den or enlarge the burrow of another animal. They are primarily nocturnal, being most active around dawn and dusk, but they do sometimes hunt during the day. They can reach speeds of up to 64 kmh (40 mph) when chasing swift jackrabbits and other prey.\nThese dogs are adaptable opportunistic feeders, and they are able to survive in farmland and suburban regions. They are increasingly coming into conflict with human communities expanding into the desert, which see them as pests. These wild dogs are unpopular with farmers as they attack sheep, although they also prey more commonly on jackrabbits, which can harm the grazing.\nCoyote fur varies from grey to yellow. The head and legs may have reddish hair on them. A black line runs along the back. The bushy tail is about half as long as the rest of the body. Coyotes are much smaller than wolves, but significantly larger than foxes.\nCoyote pairs mate in late winter, and a litter of 5 to 10 young is born after a gestation of 63 to 65 days. The male brings all the food for the female and young at first, but later both parents hunt for food.\nDistribution: Occurs throughout North America, from Alaska southwards to Mexico. Present in all US mainland states. Only absent from north-central and western Canada.\nHabitat: Prairies, desert, open woodland, forest and tundra.\nWeight: 7 - 21 kg (15 - 46 lb); males are heavier, as are those of northern races.\nLength: 105 - 140 cm (41 - 55 in); up to 87 cm (34 in) tall.\nMaturity: 12 months.\nGestation Period: 60 - 63 days.\nBreeding: 1-19, average 6; weaned by 35 days.\nFood: Omnivorous, opportunistic hunters, mainly of small mammals, larger insects and birds, as well as scavengers and consumers of vegetable matter.\nLifespan: 11 - 12 years.\nThe ears are broad and, when held erect, help pinpoint sounds, allowing hunting under cover of darkness.\nThe snout is quite narrow, with black nostrils.\nWatchful and alert, the eyes are green.

Between 112 and 122?\n\nSolution.\n\n(a) Between 92 and 102\n\nHere, n = 9 and n + 1 = 10\n\n∴ Natural number between 92 and 102 are (2 * n) or 2 * 9, i.e. 18.\n\n(b) Between 112 and 122\n\nHere, n = 11 and n + 1 = 12\n\n∴ Natural numbers between 11and 122 are (2 * n) or 2 *11, i.e. 22.\n\nQ.10. How many non-square numbers lie between the following pairs of numbers:\n\n(i) 100and 1012\n(ii) 902 and 912\n(iii) 10002 and 10012\n\nSolution.\n(i) Between 1002 and 1012\n\nHere, n = 100\n∴ n * 2 = 100 * 2 = 200\n\n∴ 200 non-square numbers lie between 1002 and 1012.\n\n(ii) Between 902 and 912\n\nHere, n = 90\n∴ 2 * n = 2 * 90 or 180\n\n∴ 180 non-square numbers lie between 90 and 91.\n\n(iii) Between 10002 and 10012\n\nHere, n = 1000\n∴ 2 * n = 2 * 1000 or 2000\n\n∴  2000 non-square numbers lie between 10002 and 10012.\n\nProperty 7. The sum of first n odd natural numbers is n2.\nOR\nIf there is a square number, it has to be the sum of the successive odd numbers starting from 1.\n\nQ.11. Find whether each of the following numbers is a perfect square or not?\n\n(i) 121\n(ii) 55\n(iii) 81\n(iv) 49\n(v)  69\n\nSolution. Remember: If a natural number cannot be expressed as a sum of successive odd natural numbers starting from 1, then it is not a perfect square.\n\n(i) 121\n\nSince,\n\n121 – 1 = 120\n120 – 3 = 117\n117 – 5 = 112\n112 – 7 = 105\n105 – 9 = 96\n96 – 11 = 85\n\n85 – 13 = 72\n72 – 15 = 57\n57 – 17 = 40\n40 – 19 = 21\n21 – 21 = 0\n\ni.e. 121 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21. Thus, 121 is a perfect square.\n\n(ii) 55\n\nSince,\n\n55 – 1 = 54\n\n54 – 3 = 51\n\n51 – 5 = 46\n\n46 – 7 = 39\n\n39 – 9 = 30\n\n30 – 11 = 19\n\n19 – 13 = 6\n6 – 15 = –9\n\nSince, 55 cannot be expressed as the sum of successive odd numbers starting from 1. Thus, 55 is not a perfect square.\n\n(iii) 81\n\nSince,\n81 – 1 = 80\n80 – 3 = 77\n77 – 5 = 72\n72 – 7 = 65\n65 – 9 = 56\n56 – 11 = 45\n45 – 13 = 32\n32 – 15 = 17\n17 – 17 = 0\n\n∴ 81 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17. Thus, 81 is a perfect square.\n\n(iv) 49\n\nSince,\n\n49 – 1 = 48\n\n48 – 3 = 45\n\n45 – 5 = 40\n\n40 – 7 = 33\n\n33 – 9 = 24\n\n24 – 11 = 13\n\n13 – 13 = 0\n\n∴ 49 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13. Thus, 49 is a perfect square.\n\n(v) 69\n\nSince,\n69 – 1 = 68\n68 – 3 = 65\n65 – 5 = 60\n60 – 7 = 53\n53 – 9 = 44\n44 – 11 = 33\n33 – 13 = 20\n20 – 15 = 5\n5 – 17 = –12\n\n∴ 69 cannot be expressed as the sum of consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. Thus, 69 is not a perfect square.\n\nProperty 8. The square of an odd number can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive natural numbers.\n\nTry These\nQ1. Express the following as the sum of two consecutive integers.\n(i) 212\n(ii) 132\n(iii) 112\n(iv) 192\nSolution:\n(i) n = 21\n\nor  212 = 220 + 221 = 441\n\n(ii) n = 13\n\n∴ 132 = 85 + 84 = 169\n\nSimilarly,\n\n(iii) 112 = 60 + 61 = 121\n\n(iv) 19= 180 + 181 = 361\n\nQ2. Do you think the reverse is also true, i.e. is the sum of any two consecutive positive integers is perfect square of a number? Give example to support your answer.\nSolution: No, it is not always true.\nExample:\n(i) 5 + 6 = 11, 11 is not a perfect square.\n(ii) 21 + 22 = 43, 43 is not a perfect square.\n\nProperty 10. The difference between the squares of two consecutive natural numbers is equal to the sum of the two numbers.\n\nExamples:\n\n92 – 82 = 81 – 64 = 17 = 9 + 8\n\n102 – 92 = 100 – 81 = 19 = 10 + 9\n\n15– 142 = 225 – 196 = 29 = 15 + 14\n\n1012 – 1002 = 10201 – 10000 = 201 = 101 + 100\n\nProperty 11. If (n + 1) and (n – 1) are two consecutive even or odd natural numbers, then (n + 1) X  (n – 1) = n2 – 1.\n\nExample:\n\n10 * 12 = (11 – 1) * (11 + 1) = 112 – 1\n\n11 * 13 = (12 – 1) * (12 + 1) = 122 – 1\n\n25 * 27 = (26 – 1) * (26 + 1) = 262 – 1\n\nQ3.

Find the square of 27.\n\nSolution: (27)= (20 + 7)2\n\nUsing the formula (a + b)2 = a+ 2ab + b2, we have\n\n(20 + 7)2 = (20)2 + 2 * (20) * (7) + (7)2\n\n= 400 + 280 + 49\n\n= 729\n\nThus, (27)2 = 729\n\nNote: For any number ending with 5, the square is a(a + 1) hundred + 25.\n\nFor example,\n\n(25)2 = 2(2 + 1) * 100 + 25 = 625\n\n(35)2 = 3(3 + 1) * 100 + 25 = 1225\n\n(65)2 = 6(6 + 1) *100 + 25 = 4225\n\n(125)2 = 12(12 + 1) * 100 + 25 = 15625\n\nPythagorean Triplets\n\nIf three numbers a, b and c are such that a2 + b2 = c2, then they are called Pythagorean Triplets and they represent the sides of a right triangle.\n\nExample:\n\n(i) 3, 4, 5 form a Pythagorean triplet.\n\n[∵ 32 + 42 = 52]\n\n(ii) 8, 15, 17 form a Pythagorean triplet.\n\n[∵ 82 + 152 = 172]\n\nNote: For any natural number n, (n > 1), we have\n\n(2n)2 + (n2 – 1)2 = (n2 + 1)2\n\nsuch that 2n, n2 – 1 and n2 + 1 are a Pythagorean triplet.\n\nExample. Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one member is 15.\n\nSolution: Since, a Pythagorean triplet is given by 2n, n2 – 1 and n2 + 1.\n\n∴ 2n = 15 or n = 15/2 is not an integer.\n\nSo, let us assume that\n\nn2 – 1 = 15\n\nor n2 = 15 + 1 = 16\n\nor n2 = 42, i.e. n = 4\n\nNow, the required Pythagorean triplet is\n\n2n, n2 – 1 and n2 + 1\n\nor   2(4), 4– 1 and 42 + 1\n\nor   8, 15 and 17\n\nRemember\n\nAll Pythagorean triplets may not be obtained using the above form.\n\nQuestion: Find the square of the following numbers containing 5 in unit’s place.\n\n(i) 15 (ii) 95 (iii) 105 (iv) 205\n\nSolution:\n\n(i) (15)2 = 1 * (1 + 1) * 100 + 25\n\n= 1 * 2 * 100 + 25\n\n= 200 + 25 = 225\n\n(ii) (95)2 = 9(9 + 1) * 100 + 25\n\n= 9 * 10 * 100 + 25\n\n= 9000 + 25 = 9025\n\n(iii) (105)2 = 10 * (10 + 1) * 100 + 25\n\n= 10 *11 * 100 + 25\n\n= 11000 + 25 = 11025\n\n(iv) (205)2 = 20 * (20 + 1) * 100 = 25\n\n= 20 * 21 * 100 + 25\n\n= 42000 + 25 = 42025\n\nExercise 6.2\n\nQue 1.

Write the Pythagorean triplet whose smallest number is 8.Ans: 8, 15, 17Q. Find a Pythagorean triplet in which one member is 12.Ans:  12, 35, 37\n\nSquare Roots\n\nFinding the square root of a number is just the opposite operation of squaring it. For example, the square of 5 is 25.\n\n∴ Square root of 25 is 5.\n\nNote: We kwon that (–2) * (–2) = 4, then we say that (–2) is also the square root of 4. Similarly, square roots of 100 are 10 and (–10).\n\nBut in this chapter, we shall be studying about positive square roots only\n\nFinding Square Root Through Prime Factorisation\n\nWe know that a factor that occurs once in the prime factorisation of a number, occurs twice in the prime factorisation of its square. Thus, we can use this fact of prime factorisation of a number to find the square root of a perfect square.\n\nNote: A perfect square has complete pairs of its prime factors.\n\nExample. Is 1008 a perfect square? If not, find the smallest multiply of 1008 which is a perfect square end then find the square root of the new number.\n\nSolution: We have\n\n1008 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7\n\nAs the prime factor 7 has no pair.\n\n∴1008 is not a perfect square. Obviously, if 7 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square.\n\n∴1008 * 7 = [2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7] * 7\n\nor  7056 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7\n\nThus, 7056 is the required multiple of 1008 which is a perfect square.\n\nNow,    = 2 * 2 * 3 * 7 = 84\n\nQuestion: (i) 112 = 121. What is the square root of 121?\n(ii) 142 = 196. What is the square root of 196?\n\nSolution: (i) The square root of 121 is 11.\n(ii) The square root of 196 is 14.\n\nThink, Discuss and Write\n\nQuestion:\n\n(–1)2 = 1. Is –1, a square root of 1?\n\n(–2)2 = 4. Is –2, a square root of 4?\n\n(–9)2 = 81. Is –9, a square root of 81?\n\nSolution:\n\n(i) Since (–1) * (–1) = 1\n\ni.e. (–1)2 = 1\n\n∴ Square root of 1 can also be –1.\n\nSimilarly,\n\n(ii) Yes (–2) is a square root of 4.\n\n(iii) Yes (–9) is a square root of 81.\n\nSince, we have to consider the positive square roots only and the symbol for a positive square\nroot is √\n\n= 4 [and not (–4)]\n\nSimilarly,    means, the positive square root of 25, i.e. 5.\n\nNote: We can also find the square root by subtracting successive odd numbers starting from 1.\n\nQuestion: By repeated subtraction of odd numbers starting from 1, find whether the following numbers are perfect squares or not? If the number is a perfect square, then find its square root.\n\n(i) 121 (ii) 55 (iii) 36 (iv) 49 (v) 90\n\nSolution:\n\n(i) Subtracting the successive odd numbers from 121, we have\n\n121 – 1 = 120          120 – 3 = 117\n\n117 – 5 = 112          112 – 7 = 105\n\n105 – 9 = 96            96 – 11 = 85\n\n85 – 13 = 72            72 – 15 = 57\n\n57 – 17 = 40            40 – 19 = 21\n\n21 – 21 = 0\n\n∴   = 11. [∵ We had to subtract the first 11 odd numbers.]\n\n(ii)\n\n∵ 55 – 1 = 54    54 – 3 = 51\n51 – 5 = 46    46 – 7 = 39\n39 – 9 = 30    30 – 11 = 19\n19 – 13 = 6    6 – 15 = –9\n\nand we do not reach to 0. ∴ 55 is not a perfect square.\n\n(iii)\n\n∵ 36 – 1 = 35    35 – 3 = 32\n32 – 5 = 27    27 – 7 = 20\n20 – 9 = 11    11 – 11 = 0\n\nand we have obtained 0 after subtracting 6 successive odd numbers.\n\n∴ 36 is a perfect square.\n\nThus,    = 6.\n\n(iv) We have\n\n49 – 1 = 48       48 – 3 = 45\n45 – 5 = 40       40 – 7 = 33\n33 – 9 = 24       24 – 11 = 13\n13 – 13 = 0\n\n∵ We have obtained 0 after successive subtraction of 7 odd numbers.\n\n∴ 49 is a perfect square,\n\nThus,   = 7.\n\n(v) We have:\n\n90 – 1 = 89       89 – 3 = 86\n86 – 5 = 81       81 – 7 = 74\n74 – 9 = 65       65 – 11 = 54\n54 – 13 = 41     41 – 15 = 26\n26 – 17 = 9        9 – 19 = –10\n\nSince, we can not reach to 0 after subtracting successive odd numbers.\n\n∴ 90 is not a perfect square.\n\nOffer running on EduRev: Apply code STAYHOME200 to get INR 200 off on our premium plan EduRev Infinity!\n\n## Mathematics (Maths) Class 8\n\n135 videos|321 docs|48 tests\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n,\n\n;<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.8125,"string":"4.8125"}}},{"rowIdx":1070,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1630,"string":"1,630"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# Fibonacci sequence\n\nThis is the first activity of Computerization algorithm team.

Is there a better way than a simple $\\mathcal{O}(n)$? It turns out that with matrix exponentiation, we can achieve $\\mathcal{O}(\\log n)$. We observe that:\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n+1}\\\\F_{n+2}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n+1}\\\\F_{n}+F_{n+1}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n}\\\\F_{n+1}\\end{pmatrix}$\n\nThis step is applicable to all recursive sequences, so it should be easily reached for an experienced candidate. Generally, for $F_{n+2}=aF_{n}+bF_{n+1}$, we have\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n+1}\\\\F_{n+2}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n+1}\\\\aF_{n}+bF_{n+1}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\a&b\\end{pmatrix}\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n}\\\\F_{n+1}\\end{pmatrix}$\n\nFrom the recursive definition,\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n+m}\\\\F_{n+m+1}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^m\\begin{pmatrix}F_{n}\\\\F_{n+1}\\end{pmatrix}$\n\nSubstituting $n=0$,\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}F_{m}\\\\F_{m+1}\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^m\\begin{pmatrix}F_0\\\\F_1\\end{pmatrix}$\n\nNow the problem is transformed into finding the matrix raised to the $m$th power. If $m=2^0a_0+2^1a_1+2^2a_2+\\dots$ (representation in binary), then\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^m=\\left(\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{1}\\right)^{a_0}\\times \\left(\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{2}\\right)^{a_1}\\times \\left(\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{4}\\right)^{a_2}\\dots$\n\nThe $2^k$th powers of the original matrix can, in fact, be preprocessed. When $m<10^{19}$, $k<\\log_2 10^{19}<64$, so we only need to store at most 63 matrices. In addition,\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{2^k}=\\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{2^{k-1}}\\times \\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\\\1&1\\end{pmatrix}^{2^{k-1}}$\n\nwhich implies that the powers can be attained within $\\mathcal{O}(\\log m)$ time. This is the idea of fast matrix exponentiation: compute all $2^k$th powers, and put those needed together.\n\n## Program​\n\nBelow is the C++ code, where the most intractable part is probably implementation of matrix multiplication:\n\n#include #include using namespace std;struct mat { unsigned long long a[4]; mat operator *(mat o) { mat t; t.a[0] = (this->a[0] * o.a[0] + this->a[1] * o.a[2]) % 1000000007; t.a[1] = (this->a[0] * o.a[1] + this->a[1] * o.a[3]) % 1000000007; t.a[2] = (this->a[2] * o.a[0] + this->a[3] * o.a[2]) % 1000000007; t.a[3] = (this->a[2] * o.a[1] + this->a[3] * o.a[3]) % 1000000007; return t; }};// Preprocessed matrices raised to the 2^k powermat mat_pow[64];int fib(unsigned long long k) { // Temporary matrix; each time multiply it by some term in mat_pow mat tmp; tmp.a[0] = 1; tmp.a[1] = 0; tmp.a[2] = 0; tmp.a[3] = 1; for (int i = 0; i < 64; i++) { // If a_i is 1 if (k & (1ull << i)) { tmp = tmp * mat_pow[i]; } } return tmp.a[1];}int main() { mat_pow[0].a[0] = 0; mat_pow[0].a[1] = 1; mat_pow[0].a[2] = 1; mat_pow[0].a[3] = 1; for (int i = 1; i < 64; i++) { mat_pow[i] = mat_pow[i-1] * mat_pow[i-1]; } unsigned long long n; cin >> n; cout << fib(n) << endl; return 0;}\n\nThe formulae for matrix multiplication are:\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}a_0&a_1\\\\a_2&a_3\\end{pmatrix}\\times\\begin{pmatrix}b_0&b_1\\\\b_2&b_3\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}a_0b_0+a_1b_2&a_0b_1+a_1b_3\\\\a_2b_0+a_3b_2&a_2b_1+a_3b_3\\end{pmatrix}$\n\n$\\begin{pmatrix}a_0&a_1\\\\a_2&a_3\\end{pmatrix}\\times\\begin{pmatrix}b_0\\\\b_1\\end{pmatrix}=\\begin{pmatrix}a_0b_0+a_1b_1\\\\a_2b_0+a_3b_1\\end{pmatrix}$<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.40625,"string":"4.40625"}}},{"rowIdx":1071,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":570,"string":"570"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# how to pray the rosary\n\nValue Calculate the percentage of symbols , discounts, etc.. how many grams in a cup Where Increase in Worth = New Value -- Original price Percentage Decrease Isn't difficult to locate the percentage.

Statistics, graphs, and charts visually aide my understanding of the human population’s deep and wide footprint. Often, it is easy to think of environmentalism as a relatively new concept, born out of the 70’s with the Green Revolution and bell-bottomed jeans. This image captured by Joseph Grinnell in 1915, challenges the misconception that the wellness of the environment is a new concern.\nIn the description of the photo, Grinnell writes, “Results of dredging operations. Fertile pasture at right, rubble at [left]”. Dredging is a type of mining that scoops out the bottom of rivers, harbors or lakes with a dredge. Today, dredging is implemented to clear out the build up of sediment in rivers. Historically, it was a method practiced widely in California during the Gold Rush to retrieve fine gold from sediment. Grinnell photographed the town of Snelling, which was a major dredge field at the time near the Merced River.\nIt is possible that Grinnell was simply making an observation of his surroundings without the thought of environmental impact of dredging at the forefront of his mind. However, the way he frames the photograph, juxtaposing the piling rubble and the fertile pasture, tempts one to think that Grinnell was discontent with the encroaching, out of context, rubble that swallowed up part of the pastureland.\nThis image is a great example of how to frame the consequences of human action on the environment, in a way that captures both the negative impacts, the rubble, and the potential for conservation and renewal, the fertile pasture.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.71875,"string":"3.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1074,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":170,"string":"170"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"CDC DVH - Hepatitis Risk Assessment - start\n“Hepatitis” means inflammation of the liver and is usually caused by a virus.

Naturally, there is a disagreement over the answer to this question. While The Nile has traditionally been considered to be longest in the world, the Amazon has some pretty fierce defenders as well. The debate arises over the difficulty in determining the full extent of a river, and also because measurements differ according to who measured them.\nAnother source of disagreement is the role played by tributaries, with some scientists arguing for their inclusion while others leave them out. Luckily, when determining length, several major rivers stand out from the crowd. Here are a few, and the reasons for why they made the list:\nThere are many factors in determining the precise length of a river. These include the source, the identification (or the definition) of the river's mouth, and the scale of measurement when determining the river length between source and mouth. As a result, the length measurements of many rivers are only approximations.\nA river's \"true source\" is considered to be the source of whichever tributary is farthest from the mouth, but this tributary may or may not have the same name as the main stem river. Furthermore, it is sometimes hard to state exactly where a river begins – especially rivers that are formed by ephemeral streams, swamps, or changing lakes.\nThe mouth of a river is hard to determine in cases where the river has a large estuary that gradually widens and opens into the ocean. Some rivers do not have a mouth, and instead dwindle to very low water volume and disappear underground. A river may also have multiple channels, or anabranches, and it may not be clear how to measure the length through a lake.\nSeasonal and annual changes may alter rivers as well, not to mention cycles of erosion and flooding, dams, levees, and geological engineering. In addition, the length of meanders can change significantly over time when a new channel cuts across a narrow strip of land, bypassing a large river bend.\nThe Nile River, located in Africa, is listed as being 6,853 kilometers (4,258 miles) long, and is hence commonly considered to be the longest river in the world. This river and its water resources are shared by eleven countries – Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo-Kinshasa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, the Sudan and Egypt.\nIn ancient times, its existence was closely tied to the rise of civilization in the Near East, being the main source of irrigation and fresh water for multiple Egyptian dynasties. Today, it remains the primary water source for both Egypt and the Sudan.\nThe source of the Nile is traditionally considered to be Lake Victoria, but Victoria itself has feeder rivers of considerable size. It's two main tributaries, are the White Nile and Blue Nile. The former is considered to be the headwaters and primary stream of the Nile itself, but the latter is the primary source of water and silt.\nThe Amazon River is the longest river in South America, and the largest river in the world in terms of water discharge. This river has a series of major river systems in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. At roughly 6,437 km (4,000 mi) in length, it is also considered to be the second-longest river in the world.\nHowever, Brazilian scientists claimed to have found the most distant source of the Amazon in the Andes. This source is apparently a glacial stream emanating from the peak of Nevado Mismi in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 700 km (430 mi) southeast of Lima. If this is correct, then the Amazon is in fact 6.800 kilometers (4,225 miles) long, making it the world's longest.\nThe third longest river in the world is the Yangtze – or as it's known in China, the Chang Jiang River. The Yangtze is 6,380 kilometers (3,964 miles) in length, making it the longest river in Asia. It originates from the glaciers of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai province, flows eastward across southwest, central and eastern China, and then empties into the East China Sea at Shanghai.\nThe Yangtze River has played a large role in the history, culture and economy of China, and continues to do so to this day. In addition to running through multiple ecosystems in China, its existence was also pivotal to human settlement, the development of agriculture, and the rise of civilization in East Asia.\nToday, the prosperous Yangtze River Delta generates as much as 20% of China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the Three Gorges Dam – located on the Yangtze River near the town of Sandouping – is the largest hydro-electric power station in the world. Because of the impact of human infrastructure, some sections of the river are now protected wildlife preserves.\nAt 6,275 kilometers (3,902 miles) the Mississippi-Missouri-Jefferson River system is the fourth longest in the world and the longest river in the United States. Although each river separately would not be in the top five, these three rivers are grouped together into one because the Missouri River meets the Mississippi near the city of St. Louis, while the Missouri connects to the Jefferson river in Montana.\nHowever, the main thrust of the Mississippi runs north-south, rising in northern Minnesota and meandering slowly southwards for 3,730 km (2,320 miles) before reaching the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico.\nWith its many tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. It also borders and/or passes through the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.\nThe Mississippi River and its tributaries have a long history of significance to Native American cultures. Many nations lived along its river banks, most of which were hunters and gathers who used the river as a source of water and for transportation. But for some – such as the Mound builders – the river was key to the formation of prolific agricultural societies.\nThe arrival of Europeans in the 1500s changed the native way of life drastically as first explorers, then settlers, ventured into the basin in increasing numbers and colonized the area. Initially a barrier between New Spain, New France, and the Thirteen Colonies, it grew to become a major artery of transportation and western expansion for the United States by the 19th century.\nThe Yellow River:\nHuang He, which is also known as the Yellow River because of the color of its silt, is the third longest river in Asia and the sixth longest river in the world. Located in China and measuring 5,464 kilometers (3,395 miles) in length, the river originates the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai province, western China. It then flows through nine provinces before emptying into the Bohai Sea near the city of Dongying in Shandong province.\nThe Yellow River is also known as \"the cradle of Chinese civilization\" because of the pivotal role it played in the development of Chinese culture. Much like the Yangtze, the presence of human settlements dates back to the Paleolithic Era, and the fertile flood basins contributed to the rise of agricultural communities which eventually integrated with the less-developed settlements along the southern Yangtze.\nBefore modern dams became an option, the Yellow River was extremely prone to flooding. In the roughly 2,540 years before 1946 CE, the Yellow River is believed to have flooded 1,593 times and shifted its course many times (sometimes severely). These floods include some of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded, thus earning the river the nicknames \"China's Sorrow\" and \"Scourge of the Sons of Han.\"\nAt 4,700 km (2,920 miles), the Congo River (aka. Zaire River) in Africa is the ninth longest river in the world. Interestingly enough, it is also its deepest – with measured depths exceeding 220 m (720 ft) – and the second largest river in the world in terms of discharge (after the Amazon).\nOriginating deep in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire), the Congo is fed by the Lualaba river, which is itself fed by the Luyua and Luapula rivers that are connected to Lake Mweru and Lake Bangwelo. The river then runs west and constitutes much of the border between the DRC and its eastern neighbor, the Republic of Congo.\nThe Congo river gets its name from the Kingdom of Kongo which was situated on the left banks of the river estuary. The kingdom is in turn named for its Bantu population, which were described in 17th century European records as Esikongo. The name Zaire is from a Portuguese adaptation of a Kikongo word nzere (\"river\"), a truncation of nzadi o nzere (\"river swallowing rivers\").\nThe river was known as Zaire during the 16th and 17th centuries, but the word Congo has since replaced Zaire gradually in English usage. However, references to Zahir or Zaire, as the name used by the natives (i.e. derived from Portuguese usage), has remained common throughout this same period.\nAll the states that have existed in the region since attaining their independence from Belgium in 1960 – the DRC (which was named Zaire from 1971-1997) and the Republic of Congo – in turn derive their names from the river.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.796875,"string":"3.796875"}}},{"rowIdx":1076,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":10951,"string":"10,951"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials\n\n## RD Sharma Solutions Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 – Free PDF Download\n\nRD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 2 – Polynomials is provided here for students to study and excel in their board exams.

I can hear your reactions from here, my lovely Magooshers. “Oh, wow, trigonometry is one of the ACT math topics tested? Let me do my best cheerleader cheer! Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3.14159! Goooo Trig! Woo-hoo!”\n\nOkay, I know most of you aren’t reacting that way (…yet), but I promise you’ll quake in fear just a little less when this is all over.\n\nTrig is definitely the most intimidating math to most ACT students – that’s because most of them haven’t seen it before (or if they have, usually only in a cursory way). The good news: if you can memorize 1 acronym, 2 formulas, and 1 definition, you’ll be all set to tackle even the hardest problems!\n\nNote: for more helpful math formulas, including ones for trigonometry, look here\n\n## First of All: What Is Trigonometry?\n\nTrigonometry is the field of math that deals with triangles–specifically, the relationships between the three sides and the three angles that make up every triangle. ACT Trig is primarily concerned with right triangles. If you like right triangles, you’re going to do well here.\n\nAnd typically the first thing you study in a trig class are right triangles:\n\nSo here’s a right triangle. Let’s say that we are looking at the angle the arrow is pointing to. The side next to it is the adjacent side, the side opposite it is the opposite side, and the hypotenuse is, of course, the hypotenuse.\n\n## The Basics of Trig for ACT Math\n\nTo help illustrate my next point, let me tell you a brief story.\n\nOnce upon a time, there was a young man. He wanted to practice his baseball skills, so he started with throwing and catching. First he threw golf balls high into the air to see how high he could throw them without missing a catch. After a while, he got quite good at throwing golf balls, so he moved on to tennis balls. Once he felt confident enough with tennis balls, he moved to actual baseballs. Again, he became quite skilled at throwing baseballs, and decided to practice with bowling balls to keep improving his arm.\n\nOf course, throwing bowling balls straight up into the air is not, generally speaking, standard practice for an aspiring baseball player, and he dropped the bowling ball directly onto the big toe of his right foot. He went to the hospital and met a lovely German doctor who told him that, luckily, his toe wasn’t broken, but he would have to take care of himself until he healed completely. He asked the doctor what he should do to take care of his foot. The doctor replied, “You must SOHCAHTOA.”\n\nI know, I know, that was terrible. I hang my head in shame for the awfulness of that joke. But seriously, SOHCAHTOA is the answer to your trigonometry fears. It is an acronym that tells you everything you need to know to figure out basic trigonometry problems. It means:\n\nSine = Opposite / Hypotenuse (SOH)\n\nCosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse (CAH)\n\nTangent = Opposite / Adjacent (TOA)\n\nSo, if you were looking for the cosine of a particular angle, you would take the value of the adjacent side to the angle and divide it into the value of the hypotenuse. Remember to keep things from the right point of view. Opposite always means “opposite to the angle you’re being asked about” and adjacent always means “next to the angle you’re being asked about.”\n\n## Practice with SOHCAHTOA for ACT Math\n\nExample 1:\n\nWhat is the sin of A?\n\nKnowing SOHCAHTOA, you would be able to answer that it is opposite/hypotenuse or . Easy as that!\n\nExample 2:\n\nWhat is the length of XZ?\n\nKnowing SOHCAHTOA means that if we are given a right triangle with one known length and one known acute angle (meaning not the right angle) we can always find the other two lengths.\nSo in this case we can use sine to find the length of the hypotenuse.\n\nsin(10) = 3 / XZ\nXZ = 3 / sin (10)\n\nWe can divide sin of 10 degrees by 3 in our calculator to get the answer: approximately 17.28.\n\nExample 3\n\nHere’s one that’s just a teensy bit harder, but we are just going to apply the same principles.\n\nThe tree below casts a shadow that is 24 feet long, and the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree has a cosine of . What is the height of the tree?\n\nThe problem tells us that the cosine of the angle of elevation is . Remember SOHCAHTOA, so we are concerned with the adjacent side over the hypotenuse. The fact that the cosine is means the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse is . So we can set up a proportion:\n\n=\n\nCross-multiplying to solve for x gives us x = 30.\n\nBut remember that this is the hypotenuse and we need to find the length of the vertical side to find the height of the tree. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the vertical side.\n\n+ =\n\n=18\n\nSo the height of the tree is 18 ft.\n\nIf you recognized that we had a 3-4-5 triangle in the beginning, you could actually take a shortcut and just use tangent of the angle of elevation to figure out the height.\n\n## Reciprocal Trig Identities\n\nYou will definitely encounter questions that require you to use SOHCAHTOA, and you may encounter questions that ask about reciprocal trig identities. Each of the three basic trig identities has a corresponding reciprocal trig identity:\n\nCosecant = Hypotenuse / Opposite\n\nNotice how Sine and Cosecant are the same except the numerator and denominator is flipped. That’s what we mean by reciprocal. It’s easy to remember that “tangent” and “cotangent” are reciprocals since they sound so much alike, but how what about the other two? I once had a math teacher who used, “Co-co no go” as a mnemonic device to help my high school class remember. What he meant was that your brain may think that “cosine” and “cosecant” are reciprocals since they both begin with the prefix “co-“ but that isn’t true. “Sine” goes with “cosecant” and “cosine” goes with “secant.”\n\n## Some Helpful Hints for ACT Math Trig\n\nYou should know that you can do this:\n\nThis is what’s called the law of sines. Usually, if you have to use this formula, the question will give it to you, but it’s a handy tool to have in your pocket.\n\nNext up is a nifty little equation that you can use on any angle. We’ll follow mathematical convention here and use the symbol θ (pronounced “theta”) to stand in for the value of the angle.\n\nTo translate from math back into English, the sine of any angle, squared, plus the cosine of any angle, squared, equals 1. Could be useful if you’re trying to figure out a tough problem on test day, no? If you see this equation anywhere on your math test, just remember that it’s equal to 1.\n\nAnd to round out our helpful hints, here’s one last equation for you:\n\nTranslation: The tangent of any angle equals the sine of the angle divided by the cosine. So if a problem ever asks you to divide the sine by the cosine, you can just plug the tangent right in! (And you can figure out the value of the tangent by using SOHCAHTOA!) Easy!\n\nTo recap, let’s look at the equations all in one place:\n\nFinally, an unusual definition to learn! A radian is another way of measuring an angle. Some harder problems on the ACT will use radians instead of degrees.\n\nThere are 2π radians in one circle. Each point on a circle corresponds to a certain number of radians.\n\nThis is used in Trig to determine the location of the right triangle (and thus the negative or positive values of the sides). For example, if a Trig question told us that angle theta is between 3π/2 and 2π, we know that the angle must be in the 4th quadrant of the circle.To convert degrees to radians, simply multiply by π/180.\n\n## Practice Makes Perfect\n\nWith all of this in mind, let’s do a sample problem!\n\nThe correct answer is… D! Let’s walk through it.\n\nTo find the sine of ∠A, you need to know the values of the opposite side (line BC) and the hypotenuse (line AC). You know the hypotenuse is 8, but the problem didn’t give you a value for line BC. It did give you line AB, though, which is 6. So we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out line BC!\n\nis the Pythagorean Theorem, as you might recall from the review on triangles. Substitute in the values we know, and it becomes:\n\nNow that we know the value of line BC, we can figure out the sine of ∠A.\n\n## Graphing Sine, Cosine, and Tangent\n\nThese graphs are usually graphed and expressed in degrees, but you may also see them expressed in radians.\n\nSine and cosine both have standard graphs that you need to memorize for the ACT Math Test. The standard equation for sine looks like this: y = sin x. The “period” of the wave is how long it takes the curve to reach its beginning point again. The coefficient in front of “sin” (here 1), is called the amplitude. It effects how high and how low the wave reaches vertically. If that coefficient changes, then the height changes. For example, y = 5 sin x, would show a curve that reaches +5 on the y-axis and extends down to -5 on the y-axis.\n\nCosine also has a standard equation. It looks like: y = cos x. For the graph of cosine, notice how it begins at its highest y-value and descends, whereas sine begins at the origin. Cosine and sine have the same period of 2π. Questions involving trig graphs will likely require you to match given equations with graphs, or interpret the meaning of certain graphs, such as in a question like this: What is the smallest positive value for x where y = cos 2x ?\n\nThe difference between y = cos x and y = cos 2x is that the coefficient in front of x is halving the period, so it will now take just one pi to complete its cycle. The smallest x-value for cosine usually occurs at π/2. For the new graph, it will occur at π/4, which is ½ of π/2.\n\nConfused? Want more? Kristin’s here to explain!\n\n## Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Graphs in Practice: Transformations\n\nThe ACT may also ask you to transform, or change, the equations and then explain what happens. Using sines as our example, let’s take a quick look:\n\n• The graph of y = 2 sin x increases the amplitude of the wave, meaning the waves are taller.\n• The graph of y = ½ sin x decreases the amplitude of the wave, meaning the waves are shorter.\n• The graph of y = sin 2x decreases the period of the wave, meaning the wave peaks are closer together horizontally.\n• The graph of y = sin ½ x increases the period of the wave, meaning the wave peaks are farther apart.\n\nHow will the graph of the function f(x) = 4sin x + 0.2 differ from the graph of f(x) = sin x?\n\nA) The graph’s period will be 4 times as much and the graph will shift 0.2 units down.\n\nB) The graph’s period will be 4 times as much and the graph will shift 0.2 units up.\n\nC) The graph’s amplitude will be 4 times as much and the graph will shift 0.2 units down.\n\nD) The graph’s amplitude will be 4 times as much and the graph will shift 0.2 units up.\n\nWe know that the coefficient in front of sine changes the amplitude, so (A) and (B) can quickly be eliminated, since 4 multiplies the amplitude by 4. Just like a linear equation, adding to the end of an equation shifts a graph upwards. For example, the only difference between y = 8x and y = 8x + 7 is that the latter is 7 places higher on the y-axis. The answer is (C).\n\n## The Unit Circle\n\nNow, let’s take a look at the famous unit circle: a cool little circle that is often featured on ACT trig questions, so it’s a must-know ACT math thing.\n\nTHIS is a unit circle. It’s a circle with radius of 1 centered about the origin.\n\nThere are a lot of fascinating aspects to the unit circle: I suggest you consult the interwebs or your math teacher to find out more. We’re just going to go through the absolute basics here that will help you get some ACT trig questions right.\n\nThe ACT will test whether you know where angles larger than 360 degrees lie, and the unit circle helps us visualize this.\n\nThere are 360 degrees in a circle, but we can just keep swinging the arm of the angle around counterclockwise (just like the hands of the clock) to get to an angle bigger than 360. So, for example, if you want to know where an angle of 760 would be, you would circle around the circle twice (for a total of 720 degrees) and we would have 40 leftover degrees. So that angle would lie in the upper right quadrant of the unit circle (Quadrant I).\n\nThe ACT will also often use radians on trig questions, and the unit circle helps us wrap our heads around this.\n\nYou should know that:\n\n90 degrees on the circle = π/2\n180 degrees = π\n270 degrees = 3π/2\n360 degrees =2π\n\nThe ACT will also test whether you know where the sine, cosine, and tangent of angles are positive or negative on the unit circle.\n\nCheck out the video below for the actual math explanation of why sine, cosine, and tangent are positive or negative in certain quadrants!\n\nThere’s a great mnemonic to help you remember where trig functions are positive or negative:\n\nAll Students Take Calculus\n\nThis helps you remember that:\n\nIn Quadrant 1 → All (sine, tangent, cosine) are positive\nin Quadrant 2 → only Sine is positive (and cos and tan are negative)\nin Quadrant 3 → only Tangent is positive (and sin and cos are negative)\nin Quadrant 4 → only Cosine is positive (and sin and tan are negative)\n\n## ACT Unit Circle Practice\n\nNow let’s look at a test example to show you how this helps you out on a frequently-occurring ACT question:\n\nIf the value of cos x = -0.385, which of the following could be true about x?\n\nA. 0 ≤ x < π\nB. π/6 ≤ x < π/3\nC. π/3 ≤ x < π/2\nD. π/2 ≤ x < 2π/3\nE. π/3 ≤ x ≤ 2π\n\nUsing ASTC (All Students Take Calculus), we can figure out where cosine is negative and narrow down our answer choices. Cosine is negative in Q2 and Q3 and positive in Q1 and Q4. So we can eliminate any values that would fall in either Q1 or Q4. Answer choices A, B and C all have values that fall in Q1. Answer choice E is Q4. So that means the answer HAS to be D because that is the only answer choice in Q2 where cosine is negative. (And yes, it often is as easy as that on the ACT!)\n\nFor more on unit circles, check out Kristin’s video explanation here:<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.71875,"string":"4.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1078,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":163,"string":"163"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"The Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, was a 415 km long railway between Thailand and Burma built by the Empire of Japan in 1943 to support its forces in the Burmese campaign of World War II.

The midrange is the average of the largest and smallest number.\n\n## How do you find the range?\n\nThe range is the difference between the smallest and highest numbers in a list or set. To find the range, first put all the numbers in order. Then subtract (take away) the lowest number from the highest. The answer gives you the range of the list.\n\n## What is range and domain?\n\nBecause the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.\n\n## Does range mean distance?\n\nthe distance of something to be located from some point of operation, as in sound ranging.\n\n## What is range example?\n\nThe Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values. Example: In {4, 6, 9, 3, 7} the lowest value is 3, and the highest is 9. So the range is 9 − 3 = 6. It is that simple!\n\nYou might be interested:  Readers ask: What Is The Meaning Of Series In Math?\n\n## How do I calculate mean?\n\nThe mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.\n\n## Is Range always positive?\n\nBecause the range formula subtracts the lowest number from the highest number, the range is always zero or a positive number.\n\n## What is the range of a list of numbers?\n\nThe ” range” of a list a numbers is just the difference between the largest and smallest values.\n\n## How do you interpret a range?\n\nInterpreting the Range The range is interpreted as the overall dispersion of values in a dataset or, more literally, as the difference between the largest and the smallest value in a dataset. The range is measured in the same units as the variable of reference and, thus, has a direct interpretation as such.\n\n## How do I find the domain?\n\nThe domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs for the function. For example, the domain of f(x)=x² is all real numbers, and the domain of g(x)=1/x is all real numbers except for x=0. We can also define special functions whose domains are more limited.\n\n## What is the difference between Codomain and range?\n\nThe codomain is the set of all possible values which can come out as a result but the range is the set of values which actually comes out.\n\n## How do you find the range of a domain?\n\nTo find the excluded value in the domain of the function, equate the denominator to zero and solve for x. So, the domain of the function is set of real numbers except −3. The range of the function is same as the domain of the inverse function. So, to find the range define the inverse of the function.\n\n## Is the image the range?\n\nThe image is a subset of the range, possibly a proper subset. So for example if f(x) = x2, then we can say that the range of f is, and that would be an accurate statement.\n\n## What is the full form of range?\n\nscope, range, reach, orbit, compass, ambit(noun) an area in which something acts or operates or has power or control: “the range of a supersonic jet”\n\n## What does Range mean in function?\n\nThe range of a function is the set of all output values (Y-values).<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.5,"string":"4.5"}}},{"rowIdx":1080,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":376,"string":"376"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"With today's word processors and digital media platforms, it can be hard to distinguish between a typeface and a font. The average user may not know the difference, but before the age of computers, these terms meant a lot more to our written culture. Below, we've outlined what is typeface, how it differs from a font, and why the anatomy of typography can be so complex.\nWhat is typeface?\nBefore you could choose from hundreds of fonts on Microsoft Word, every page was printed using metal letters arranged in rows, and then rolled in ink. During this age, each set of characters with the same design features was known as a typeface, and designers still use the term today. For example, Times New Roman is one of the most popular typefaces for word processing. It doesn't matter if you're writing bold, italic, 8 point, or 72 point Times New Roman — it's still the same typeface.\nOkay, then what is a font?\nThink of fonts like a subset of typefaces, as they refer to size and weight within a larger family. For instance, if you're using the Arial typeface in 12-point italic, we would say that the font is 12-point italic. Each size and weight combination refers to a different font. This is why Microsoft Word and other programs use the word \"font\" instead of typeface, because technically, you are working with different fonts every time. However, the broader stylistic choices behind a font should actually be ascribed to the typeface.

They are practicing division problems with remainders to see if the bears can divide berries, moths, and fish evenly amongst themselves. After they find the quotient and remainders, Mr. Squeaks has an idea about what to do with all the leftovers…\n\n### Long Division with Remainders\n\nIn this video, you will learn how to do long division with remainders, how do remainders work, what to do with remainders in division, and how to write remainders.\n\n#### What are Remainders in Division?\n\nWhy are there remainders in division? Sometimes, items cannot be divided equally. The remainder is the amount left over after dividing. Why are reminders important? When you have to work with long division and remainders, you must look at what each number in the problem represents in order to solve it. For example, the problem asks if the bears will share the berries evenly, in order to find the answer you have to practice division with remainders and be able to identify if there is a remainder or not.\n\n#### How to do Division with Remainders\n\nYou may be wondering, how do I do long division with remainders?In this video you will practice 2 digit by 1 digit division with remainders and 3 digit by 1 digit division with remainders. When teaching division with remainders, it’s easier to find remainders when dividing following a few simple steps. Before we see an example of dividing with remainders, let’s review the parts of division and set up our problem.\n\n#### What Are the Parts of Division?\n\nTo set up a long division problem, we write our division symbol and place the dividend, or the number being divided, on the inside. We place the divisor, or the number we are dividing by on the outside.\n\nNow that the problem is set up we can see how to divide with remainders by following these simple steps:\n\n• First, start by seeing how many times the divisor, or three, goes into the first digit. Since three does not go into two, so now we look at twenty-six Three goes into twenty-six eight whole times, so we write it above the one place.\n\n• Second, multiply three times eight to get the product twenty-four, and subtract twenty-four from twenty-six to get two.\n\n• Last, three does not go into two, so two is our remainder. If you’re wondering how to write remainders in division, all you have to do is write an “R” and the remainder at the top next to the answer like in the illustration below.\n\n#### Long Division with Remainders Summary\n\nRemember, sometimes, items cannot be divided equally. The remainder is the amount left over after dividing. When finding remainders in math, including two digit division with remainders and three digit division with remainders, you simply follow the steps for solving a long division problem, writing the remainder at the top next to the answer labeling it with the letter “R”.\n\nHave you practiced yet?

They are using some binoculars to watch the bears sort some food for hibernation at a safe distance. They are observing bears to see if they can divide berries, moths, and fish evenly amongst themselves. In order to do this they will use \"Long Division with Remainders\". Sometimes, items cannot be divided equally(...) the \"remainder\" is \"the amount left over after dividing\". For example, Mr. Squeaks and Imani see there are twenty-six berries that need to be divided between three bears. Remember, to set up a long division problem, we write our division symbol (...) and place the DIVIDEND, or the number being divided, HERE. We place the DIVISOR, or the number we are dividing by, HERE. Now, we can start by seeing how many times the DIVISOR, or three, goes into the first digit. Does three go into two? Three DOES NOT go into two, so now we look at both digits. How many times does three go into twenty-six? Three goes into twenty-six eight whole times, so we write it above the ONES place. Three times eight is twenty-four, (...) so we subtract twenty-four from twenty-six. What is twenty-six minus twenty-four? The answer is two (...) three does not go into two and there are no more numbers to bring down... so this is our remainder. We label the remainder with a capital \"R\" and write it along with the two at the top beside the eight. Out of the twenty-six berries, all three bears will get eight with two leftover. Next, Mr. Squeaks and Imani see the bears will share some moths. There are eighty-one moths to be divided between six bears. We start by seeing how many times six goes into eight. How many times does six go into eight? (...) Six goes into eight one whole time (...) so write one above the TENS place. Six times one is six (...) so subtract six from eight. What is eight minus six? (...) Eight minus six is two. Next, bring down the ONE and see how many times six goes into twenty-one. How many times does six go into twenty-one? (...) Six goes into twenty one three whole times, so write a three above the ONES place. What is our next step? (...) Six times three is eighteen, so we subtract eighteen from twenty-one to get three. Three is our remainder, so we write a capital \"R\" along with the three next to our answer. Out of eighty-one moths, all six bears will get thirteen with three leftover. Last, Mr. Squeaks and Imani see the bears will share some fish. There are three hundred twenty-eight fish to be divided between nine bears. What is our first step? Calculate how many times nine goes into three. Nine does not go into three, so we calculate how many times nine goes into thirty-two instead. What is our next step? Since nine goes into thirty-two three whole times (...) we write the three above the TENS place... and since nine times three is twenty-seven (...) we subtract twenty-seven from thirty-two. What do we get when we subtract? Thirty-two minus twenty-seven is five. What is our next step? (...) Our next step is to bring down the eight (...) how many times does nine goes into fifty-eight? Nine goes into fifty-eight six whole times (...) so we write a six above the ONES place. What is our next step? (...) Since nine times six is fifty-four, we subtract fifty-four from fifty-eight (...) to get four. Four is our remainder. Last, write the remainder next to our answer using a capital \"R\" to label it. Out of three hundred twenty-eight fish, all nine bears will get thirty-six with four leftover. Remember (...) sometimes, items cannot be divided equally (...) the \"remainder\" is \"the amount left over after dividing\"... and we label our remainder with a capital \"R\" beside the answer. [shocked/confused] Wait...where did the leftovers go!? I wonder what the bears will do with all their leftovers...\n\n## Long Division with Remainders Exercise\n\nWould you like to practice what you’ve just learned? Practice problems for this video Long Division with Remainders help you practice and recap your knowledge.\n• ### What is a remainder?\n\nHints\n\nIf Mr. Squeaks and Imani are going to take the remainder after the bears have shared the food, what could the remainder be?\n\nWe find the remainder once we have solved the problem.\n\nSolution\n\nThe remainder in division is what is left over after dividing.\n\n• ### Can you figure out the answer?\n\nHints\n\nHow many times did 3 go into 4? How many times did 3 go into 14?\n\nIf we subtract 12 from 14, what is the remainder we are left with?\n\nSolution\n\nHere is the complete long division problem.\n\n3 goes into 4 1 whole time so we write 1 at the top.\n\n1 x 3 = 3 so we then subtract 3 from 4 and we are left with 1. We bring the 4 from the ones place down.\n\n3 goes into 14 4 whole times. We write this next to the 1 at the top. 3 x 4 = 12 so we subtract 12 from 14 leaving us with 2.\n\n3 does not go into 2 so 2 is our remainder. We write this after the R at the top.\n\nWe can then see that our answer is 14 R 2.\n\nEach bear will get 14 fish and there will be 2 leftover.\n\n• ### Does Mr. Squeaks have the correct remainder?\n\nHints\n\nSolve 93 $\\div$ 4 using a pencil and paper. Do you see any differences between yours and this one?\n\nIf 4 goes into 9 2 whole times, what should we subtract from 9?\n\nHow many times does 4 go into 13?\n\nThere are 4 errors to highlight.\n\nSolution\n\nOn the left is the problem solved correclty.\n\nOn the right is where the highlighting should be.\n\n_______________________________________________________\n\nFirst, we need to figure out how many times 4 goes into 9.\n\n4 goes into 9 2 whole times, so we write 2 at the top.\n\n2 x 4 is 8 so we subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.\n\n4 does not go into 1, so we bring the 3 down to make 13.\n\n4 goes into 13 3 whole times.\n\n3 x 4 is 12, so we subtract 12 from 13 to get 1.\n\nThe remainder is 1.\n\n• ### Can you solve the problems?\n\nHints\n\nHow many times does the divisor go into the first number of the dividend?

CHS Statistics 3.4-3.5: The Multiplication Rule & Conditional Probabilities Objective: To use the addition rule to calculate probabilities\n\n2. Warm-up: Something to Consider… Consider the following two test questions: 1) True or False: Ms. Halliday’s favorite color is orange. 2) Ms. Halliday’s favorite sports team is: a) Pittsburgh Steelers b) Pittsburgh Penguins c) Baltimore Ravens d) New England Patriots e) Dallas Cowboys • If you do not know and you guess, what is the probability that you answer both questions correctly?\n\n3. Independent vs. Dependent Events • Independent Events: when the outcome of one event does not affect the probability of the other event • Examples: • Rolling a 3 on a die, then rolling a 4 • Flipping a coin and getting heads, then flipping a coin again. • Dependent Events: when the outcome of one event affects the probability of the other event • Example: In the envelope activity, a student selected an envelope, and it was not replaced. The probabilities of the other events changed.\n\n4. Examples: Dependent vs. Independent Decide whether the following events are independent or dependent: • Tossing a coin and getting a heads and then rolling a six-sided die and getting a 6 • Eating 10 cheeseburgers in a row and then getting a stomach ache\n\n5. Experiment: Conditional Probability Experiment: Toss a coin. If you toss a heads you draw from Bag 1. Bag 1 contains 2 green marbles and 1 blue marble. If you toss a tails, you pick from Bag 2 which has 1 green marble and 3 blue marbles. • P(blue given tails was flipped)=\n\n6. Conditional Probability • The probability of Event B occurring after it is assumed the Event A has already occurred. • P(B|A) is read as the probability of B given A.\n\n7. Conditional Probability (cont.) Independence: • Independence of two events means that the outcome of one event does not influence the probability of the other. • With our new notation for conditional probabilities, we can now formalize this definition: • Events A and B are independent whenever P(B|A) = P(B). (Equivalently, events A and B are independent whenever P(A|B) = P(A).)\n\n8. Multiplication Rule P(A and B) = P(A) ∙ P(B|A) • The probability of Event A times the Probability of Event B occurring, given Event A already occurred. • If your events are INDEPENDENT, your second probability won’t be affected by the first, so you would just multiply the two probabilities together. • If your events are DEPENDENT, you have to calculated the second, given that the first already occurred.\n\n9. Examples: Multiplication Rule • A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a heads and then rolling a 6. • Consider tossing a coin twice. What is the probability of getting 2 heads?\n\n10. Examples: Multiplication Rule • The probability of a particular knee surgery is successful is 0.85. Find the probability that three knee surgeries will be successful. • Find the probability that none of three knee surgeries is successful.\n\n11. Examples: Multiplication Rule • A bag contains 2 red cubes, 3 blue cubes, and 5 green cubes. If a red cube is removed, what is the probability that a green cube will be picked? • A pool of potential jurors consists of 10 men and 15 women. The Commissioner of Jurors randomly selects two names from this pool. Find the probability that the first is a man and the second is a man if two people are selected • With replacement • Without replacement\n\n12. Conditional Probability Rule\n\n13. Examples: Multiplication Rule • Find the probability of Event A occurs given that Event B already occurred. • P(2 spades) = • P(Even number on a die, given that the result of the die is 3 or less) = • P(Heart | Red) = • Find the probability of a couple having at least 1 girl among 3 children.\n\n14. Examples: Contingency Tables The table below shows the results of a study where researchers examined a child’s IQ and the presence of a specific gene.   • Find the probability the child has a Normal IQ. • Find the probability that a child has a high IQ, given that the child has the gene.\n\n15. Examples: Contingency Tables The table below shows the results of a study where researchers examined a child’s IQ and the presence of a specific gene.   • Find the probability that a child does not have the gene and has high IQ.  • Find the probability that a child does not have the gene, given that the child has a normal IQ. • Find the probability that a child has Normal IQ or Gene Present.\n\n16. Let’s Look Back at the Warm-up: Consider the following two test questions: 1) True or False: Ms. Halliday’s favorite color is orange. 2) Ms. Halliday’s favorite sports team is: a) Pittsburgh Steelers b) Pittsburgh Penguins c) Baltimore Ravens d) New England Patriots e) Dallas Cowboys • If you do not know and you guess, what is the probability that you answer both questions correctly?\n\n17.

But it’s not only us who believe this, there is increasing evidence to show that play is fundamental to a child’s development. Here are ten reasons why play is so important:\n1. It’s not just physical. Play increases children’s self-awareness, self-esteem and self-respect. In an increasingly pressurised and connected world, it gives them the chance to discover who they really are.\n2. It’s physical. It improves and maintains their physical health, leading to increased strength, fitness and better health in later life.\n3. It’s social. Play gives children the opportunity to mix and engage with other children, preparing them for the adult world of complex social interactions.\n4. It’s skilful. Play paves the way for increased confidence through the learning of new skills.\n5. It’s creative. Play is creative, it encourages children to use their imaginations, as well as promoting independent thinking.\n6. It increases resilience. Play teaches children to be competitive, to learn from failure and encourages them to take risks.\n7. It breaks down barriers. Play allows children from all backgrounds and abilities to play together.\n8. It’s cohesive. Playing in their community allows children to learn about their social and natural environments, and be a part of the wider community, promoting social cohesion.\n9. It’s educational. From their very early years, children learn through unstructured play. The Montessori and Steiner school systems and the Forest school ethos all encourage the use of play as an education tool in and of itself.\n10. It encourages communication. Children learn to communicate with each other through playful interactions. This allows them to practise the complex and subtle world of adult communication in a safe and organic way.\nWe can help make a positive impact on children’s development by aiding unstructured play. This will promote social cohesion and self-preparation for the complex world of interaction that awaits them. So children not only acquire the physical health benefits of change, but also the psychological benefits that will pave the way to a child’s brighter future.\nWritten by Poppy Pickles in collaboration with Aaron Jay-Chelliah<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.671875,"string":"3.671875"}}},{"rowIdx":1084,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":5761,"string":"5,761"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"1909 illustration by A. C. Gow which appeared as the frontispiece in a 1915 biography\n|Born||October 23, 1762|\n|Died||April 17, 1843 (aged 80)|\n|Resting place||West Cemetery, Orford, New Hampshire|\n|Significant advance||Heated-surface carburetor|\nEthanol internal combustion engine\nSteamboat design and construction\nThe son of a Revolutionary War Officer. He was the second of seven children born to Israel Morey (1735–1809) and Martha Palmer (1733–1810) and was born in Hebron, Connecticut, but moved to Orford, New Hampshire, with his family in 1768. His father, Israel Morey served in the colonial militia and rapidly rose from private to general. Samuel Morey operated a successful lumber business in Orford and Fairlee, Vermont. He died in 1843, and was buried in Orford. Lake Morey in Vermont is named in his honor.\nMorey's first patent, in 1793, was for a steam-powered spit, but he had grander plans. Morey realized that steam could be a power source in the 1780s, and he probably appreciated a steamboat’s potential from work on his father’s ferry and the locks he designed along the Connecticut river. In the early 1790s he fitted a paddle wheel and steam engine to a small boat and powered it up and down the Connecticut River. Legend has it, this was done on a Sunday morning, when the town was at church, to avoid ridicule if he failed.\nThe most important aspect of this craft was the paddle wheel. It was an old idea – supposedly dating to antiquities – and previously tried with a steam engine. Jonathan Hulls of England used a rear-mounted paddle wheel in 1737 but an inefficient method of turning the steam engine’s reciprocating motion into the circular motion hobbled it. In 1789, Nathan Reed of Massachusetts experimented with a paddle wheel, and considered patenting it, but eventually patented a different method instead. The American John Fitch experimented with side-mounted paddle wheels, but in 1791 used and patented oars instead. Morey's may have been the first successful use of a steam power paddle wheel, which was the best method of propulsion until the propeller, invented by Fitch, was perfected.\nA Road Marker in Vermont is inscribed with his accomplishment, \"Samuel Morey, resident of Orford (New Hampshire) and later Fairlee (Vermont), successfully operated a steamboat on the Conn. River in 1793. Making over 4000 experiments, this early scientist patented an internal combustion engine in 1826 to anticipate the age of the motor car and airplane.\"\nMorey’s first boat was little more than a proof of concept, so he built another in New York. In a letter to New York legislator William Duer, Morey describes how over the next three summers he traveled down to New York, and the following summer to Hartford, Connecticut to improve and exhibit his boat. Finally, in 1797 he went to Bordentown, New Jersey (a stop on Fitch's failed Philadelphia-to-Trenton passenger service), because it was “sickly in New York”, and built a boat employing two side-mounted paddle wheels. At this point, Morey considered his boat ready for commercial use and sought financial backers. For reasons that are unclear, his backing fell through because of “a series of misfortunes”. This is likely the end of Morey's direct work with steamboats – although there are many tales of a later fourth steamboat– but not the end of his steam engine patents. In addition to one received in 1795 for improvements he made working on the steam engine in boat, he received patents for other applications and improvements in 1799, 1800, and 1803.\nDespite Morey's success in building a working steamboat, credit for the first successful steamboat line goes to Robert Fulton and his financier, Chancellor Robert Livingston. This was a cause for contention, as Morey claims that they took some of his ideas. His account, which seems more reasonable than later, derived accounts, is laid out in his letter to Duer and is as follows. The summer after the one Morey spent at Hartford, he returned to New York and gave Livingston a ride in his boat (perhaps at the advice of Benjamin Silliman — publisher of Morey's papers — who knew Livingston to be a supporter of the arts). He was impressed and offered Morey a “considerable sum” if he could improve the boat's speed to 8 miles per hour. He also offered $7,000 for the rights to use his current work around New York but Morey declined the offer. However, he continued working towards Livingston’s speed goal. Morey had conversations with Fulton and Livingston, and Livingston even traveled to Orford to see him (although Morey doesn’t say when or what was discussed). Later, Morey reportedly was aboard Fulton's boat and expressed to Fulton his displeasure that his ideas had netted Fulton much but nothing for himself.\nIn 1815, Morey patented a “revolving” steam engine, described at length in the American Journal of Science in 1819 by John Sullivan, its purchaser. With the exception of one harsh initial review predicting that it would barely work – which was rebuffed by Sullivan, it was apparently well received and Sullivan's description appeared in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal along with an introduction praising American steam engine and boat refinements. Instead of a stationary cylinder driving a rod that turns a wheel through a second linkage, it seems that the cylinder is allowed to pivot as the rod moves, which then turns a crank. The cylinder's pivot doubles as a valve that controls the direction and flow of steam according to its position. The claimed advantages of this configuration are lightweight, high-speed operation, durable construction, and low cost. This engine met with some commercial success; recorded applications include tugboats, a glass factory, and a sawmill in the Boston naval yard. One tugboat even sailed to South Carolina, where its owner was pleased by its performance. Morey received one more steam patent in 1817 but his interest had been captured by experiments with flammable vapors, which had started some time before.\nExperiments with vapors and combustion\nIn an 1834 letter to Silliman, Morey wrote: “It is now more than twenty years since I have been in the constant, I may say daily practice of making experiments on the decomposition of water, by mixing with its vapor that of spirits of turpentine, and a great portion of atmospheric air.” This would seem to understate the scope of some research that led to such diverse discoveries as the liquid fueled internal combustion engine, a method for carbonating water, and odd bubbles formed by molten resin. The last two appeared in journals in England and Germany, respectively. Morey noted differences in flames near knots, perhaps rich in sap, or in wet wood. Eventually he experimented with anything he could find: “tar, rosin, rough turpentine, or the spirit, or alcohol, or any kind of oil, fat, or tallow; mineral coal, pitch-pine wood, and the knots, birch bark, pumpkin, sun-flower, flax, and other seeds; as well as many other substances.”\nHis experiments are described at length over several articles in the American Journal of Science and Arts. They are light on theory, and Silliman comments that “[Morey's] results are often very valuable, and perhaps, in some cases, not the less so, for having been sought without the direction of preconceived, theoretical views.” This is mostly true; theory enters into these articles mostly for possible explanations. However, in 1834, 15 years after his first publication on the subject, he proposes a theory of combustion that has electricity as its basic force. Hints of this theory may be visible in his first paper, but his early experiments were not guided by it.\nHis first practical application was to heat water for his revolving engine. He observed that passing steam over burning coal or tar caused the flames to burn brighter and without smoke, and he theorized that the steam was decomposed in this process. Word of these experiments reached the eminent French chemist Gay-Lussac, and he commented on them in Annales de Chimie et de Physique in 1819. He contended that the temperature was insufficient to cause decomposition. Instead, the steam freed more flammable vapors in the fuel causing the flame's change. Morey was correct. He produced what is now known as town gas. The oxygen from the water combines with carbon from the fuel to form carbon monoxide and the hydrogen forms a diatomic molecule. Both later burn to form water and carbon dioxide. Morey was not the first to use water-gas for lighting, and his devices, including the patented 1818 American Water Burner, simply used the gas immediately instead of piping it to be burnt elsewhere, done as early as 1792 in England. Morey apparently did not know of this advance or at least did not recognize it as the same process. Strangely, in 1819 J. F. Dana of Dartmouth and Harvard proposed attaching steam boilers to street lamps to take advantage of Morey's discovery, but water-gas was already being piped to some London street lamps from a central source in 1812. Still, Morey's device did produce more light, and there is evidence that it resulted in more efficient combustion.\nInternal combustion work\nDuring his experiments, Morey discovered that the vapor of turpentine, when mixed with air, was explosive. He recognized its potential, developed an engine, and wrote an unpublished description in 1824, which he modified in 1825 and 1826. He finally published and patented the idea later in that year. The revisions between the drafts are small, and deal mostly with reworking of the engine’s valves.\nThe engine has much in common with modern ones. It has two cylinders, a carburetor, a familiar arrangement of valves and cams. However, unlike modern engines, and unlike the earlier 1807 François Isaac de Rivaz engine, the explosion did not directly provide power. Instead, the explosion expelled air from the cylinder through a one-way valve. The cylinder was cooled by a water jacket and water injected into the combustion chamber after it fired. The cooling gasses caused a vacuum and atmospheric pressure drove the piston. Morey did mention trying direct action, and elaborated on it in other descriptions. However, his method was more complicated and possibly less efficient because it used more of the engine’s stroke to draw in fuel.\nMorey demonstrated his engine in New York and Philadelphia and there are eyewitness reports for both. In Philadelphia, he demonstrated it powering a boat and a wagon. Unfortunately, when he decided to demonstrate the car on the street, he fell off after starting the engine and the vehicle powered across Market Street into a ditch. This was the second car ride in the world, and the first in the United States. Despite these mostly successful demonstrations, Morey could not find a buyer, and became frustrated. A letter from Reverend Dana of Orford written in October 1829 tells of Morey’s trip to Baltimore, “I am told, the Capt. Is determined to make one more vigorous effort, to sell his patent right for some of his modern inventions [he later singles out the vapor engine], and if he does not now succeed, he will give the matter up, and return to Orford, to spend his days in quiet.” Morey did not find a buyer, and as he was then in his late 60s, it made sense to stop traveling up and down the east coast and call it quits.\nWhile the engine was state of the art, it was not novel in many respects. Morey seemed aware of contemporary internal combustion work – Hardenberg, who wrote a book on Morey’s engine, adeptly noted that in his 1825 draft Morey “stated that he named his invention ‘vapor engine, to distinguish it from the… gas engine.’” However, Hardenberg concludes that Morey could only have known of three engines similar to his. He never mentioned them, and Hardenberg concludes that they did not influence Morey. His internal combustion engine is the first documented in the United States, and his use of liquid fuel and a heated surface carburetor was world's first. Another interesting feature was the wire mesh used to prevent the combustion from reaching the carburetor. This feature was reinvented and patented again in 1872 because the patent office had lost Morey’s patent in the 1836 patent office fire. The lack of interest in his vapor engine is unfortunate, because the vapor engine was his most farsighted invention. Morey notes in his unpublished 1824 draft that:\n|“||Is there not some reason to expect that the discovery will greatly change the commercial and personal intercourse of the country. There is good reason I trust to conclude that transportation on good roads or railroad may be done much cheaper as well as quicker than by locks and canals, besides having the great advantage of being done, much of it, in the winter a time much the most convenient of the farmer. In their personal intercourse, if it should be generally thought most prudent to continue their intercourse on the earth’s surface, yet I think there will be little use of horses for that purpose.||”|\n|— Samuel Morey, unpublished|\nHe mentions \"the earth's surface\" because elsewhere he proposed using the engine to propel balloons. Now that the internal combustion engine’s potential has been realized, people often focus on his engine. The first push to popularize his work was done by Charles Duryea, a fellow inventor who produced the first gasoline engine in America around 1890. He funded the creation of two working replicas of Morey's Engine — one is in the possession of the Smithsonian and the other is owned by Dean Kamen — and posited that Morey's engine was a direct precursor of the modern engine, a position with which others disagree. Recently, Morey's work has received renewed attention by people other than locals and engineers, in particular American comedian Jay Leno, who is an avid car collector.\nMessrs. Rush and Muhlenburg: Dear Sir: — Perhaps I ought to have written sooner, but with all my exertions, and they have been as important as they ever were with you, I could not perfect, to my mind, the application of the \"new power\" to a boat until within two weeks. It will now run as regular as any that are driven with steam, and with very little expense. The boat is about nine teen feet long, 5 \\ wide and the engine occupies only about eighteen inches of the stern, and sometimes goes between 7 and 8 miles per hour. The same engine may unquestionably, when in better hands, be made to drive one, properly constructed, of twice the capacity, at least ten. Its application to stationary purposes I perfected last winter. Throughout the whole time I have been constantly perfecting the engine. I expect to leave here in two or three days for home to arrange my business for winter, and if possible to collect some money for you and Mr. Garrett, as well as some for myself, which I could do were there any in the country, as I have more than $3,000 of salable personal property and good debts. But whether I get any or not, you may expect to see me next month, if I am alive and well as usual. I have the engine already packed up to be put with the mails on board a Packet, as soon as I can get ready to start from home. Have been inclined to think I should send it to Baltimore in the first instance, but shall postpone entirely anything further. When I have the pleasure to see you I hope to learn what will be the best course to be taken. It remains for me to have the engine applied to a carriage on a rail, road, and when that is done, I should think I have done my part. I can but hope and trust the ensuing winter will see the engine well applied to a carriage on a railroad. With sentiments of the greatest esteem and friendship, I am dear Sirs, as ever, Yours, SAM' MOREY. Sept., 1829.\nCaptain Samuel Morey, a native of Connecticut, but a resident of Oxford, N. H., began his experiments in 1790, and that year propelled his boat by a stern wheel, from Hartford to New York City, at the rate of five miles an hour. On her return trip from New York to Greenwich, Conn., she had as passengers Chancellor Livingston, Edward Livingston, John Stevens, of Hoboken, N. J., and others ; this was the sixth boat built in the United States. In a letter written to William A. Duer, Esq., some years later, Captain Morey says : \" As nearly as I can recollect, it was as early as 1790 that I turned my attention to improving the steam engine and in applying it to the purpose of propelling boats. In June, 1797, I went to Bordentown, on the Delaware, and there constructed a steamboat and devised the plan of propelling by means of wheels on the side. The shafts ran across the boat with a crank in the middle worked from the beam of the engine with a shackle-bar. The boat was only exhibited in Philadelphia. I took out patents for my improvements. 1 never had any doubt but that I had a right to take out a patent for the application of two wheels to a steamboat, and often told Mr. Fulton and Mr. Livingston that I had. To the latter I once asserted this right when on board his steamboat with him.\" Morey, like his predecessors, was prevented from continuing his experiments for lack of means.\nLetter not found. 5 September 1802. Acknowledged in Daniel Brent to Morey, 9 Oct. 1802 (DNA: RG 59, DL, vol. 14). Brent informed Morey that his letter had arrived in JM’s absence “and I have just received his directions, since his return, to forward the enclosed exemplification of the Patent alluded to, to you, and to return you fifty cents, and I herewith do so.” Samuel Morey (1762–1843) was an inventor who held a number of patents, including a steam-operated spit (1793), a windmill (1796), a steam pump (1799), and the internal combustion engine (1826). He began steamboat experiments in 1790 and was awarded a patent in 1803 for improvements on a steam engine.\nBooks and articles\nBook: Capt.

To answer this question, a team of marine biologists (which did not include Friedlander) decided to count reef sharks at coral reefs close and far to human settlements to better understand how humans impact their populations.\nCorals, including some major extinct groups Rugosa and Tabulata, have been important reef builders through much of the Phanerozoic since the Ordovician Period. However, other organism groups, such as calcifying algae, especially members of the red algae Rhodophyta, and molluscs (especially the rudist bivalves during the Cretaceous Period) have created massive structures at various times. During the Cambrian Period, the conical or tubular skeletons of Archaeocyatha, an extinct group of uncertain affinities (possibly sponges), built reefs. Other groups, such as the Bryozoa have been important interstitial organisms, living between the framework builders. The corals which build reefs today, the Scleractinia, arose after the Permian–Triassic extinction event that wiped out the earlier rugose corals (as well as many other groups), and became increasingly important reef builders throughout the Mesozoic Era. They may have arisen from a rugose coral ancestor. Rugose corals built their skeletons of calcite and have a different symmetry from that of the scleractinian corals, whose skeletons are aragonite. However, there are some unusual examples of well-preserved aragonitic rugose corals in the late Permian. In addition, calcite has been reported in the initial post-larval calcification in a few scleractinian corals. Nevertheless, scleractinian corals (which arose in the middle Triassic) may have arisen from a non-calcifying ancestor independent of the rugosan corals (which disappeared in the late Permian).\nCyanobacteria do not have skeletons and individuals are microscopic. Cyanobacteria can encourage the precipitation or accumulation of calcium carbonate to produce distinct sediment bodies in composition that have relief on the seafloor. Cyanobacterial mounds were most abundant before the evolution of shelly macroscopic organisms, but they still exist today (stromatolites are microbial mounds with a laminated internal structure). Bryozoans and crinoids, common contributors to marine sediments during the Mississippian (for example), produced a very different kind of mound. Bryozoans are small and the skeletons of crinoids disintegrate. However, bryozoan and crinoid meadows can persist over time and produce compositionally distinct bodies of sediment with depositional relief.\nReef Surf Sandals Ginger 30 yrs Brand New with tags Size: 10 Description Celebrating 30 years of Reef!

Reef types include fringing reef, barrier reefs, as well as atolls. A fringing reef is a reef that is attached to an island. A barrier reef forms a calcareous barrier around an island resulting in a lagoon between the shore and the reef. An atoll is a ring reef with no land present. The reef front (ocean side) is a high energy locale whereas the internal lagoon will be at a lower energy with fine grained sediments.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.03125,"string":"4.03125"}}},{"rowIdx":1087,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1489,"string":"1,489"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"# 4.7 graphing using slope-intercept form\n\nPost on 24-Feb-2016\n\n29 views\n\nCategory:\n\n## Documents\n\nTags:\n\n• #### mx bfor\n\nEmbed Size (px)\n\nDESCRIPTION\n\n4.7 Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form.

The mass of a star also translates to its life span; their weight is usually measured in terms of solar mass. The lighter the solar mass the longer the stars life span.The Milky Way is just one galaxy in a collection of a group of galaxies called the Local group. The Milky Way moves at 300 km/sec in the direction of the constellation Virgo. The Milky Way is in constant movement with the other galaxies in the Local Group. The galaxies found within the local group include the Milky Way Galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, Triangulum Galaxy and others, each containing their satellite system.The stars and the gasses of the Milky Way rotate about its center differently meaning that there is a variation in the period of rotation depending on location. However, the orbital speed of the stars in a spiral galaxy is not entirely dependent on the distance from the center. The typical stellar orbital velocity of a star away from the central bulge is between 210 and 240 km/s. Hence, we can deduce that the orbital period of a typical star in the Milky Way is directly corresponds to the distance it travels. The other fact is that, towards the center of the Milky Way, the orbital speeds are too low but as one goes further away, the orbital speeds increase. It reaches the point that it defies the universal law of gravity.There are many models that try to explain the formation of the Milky Way, but we will put our focus on one particular model that is popularly accepted. The ELS model was conceived in the early 1960’s by three astronomers, namely Donald Lynden-Bell, Allan Sandage and Olin Eggen. This model was based on the relative velocities and chemical compositions of stars in population I (metal-rich) and II (metal-poor). The population I stars follow orbits in the plane of the galactic disk whereas the population II stars found in the halo follow elliptical orbits that cut across the plane of the Milky Way.According to the ELS, the Milky Way began as a spherical cloud of gas than was collapsing towards the center. The original gas had minimal levels of metal, and this consequently resulted in the stars being formed having low levels of metal. These stars that were formed maintained the kinematic properties of the gas from the collapsing cloud, thus making them follow eccentric orbits around the central part of the galaxy. Consequently, this led to the formation of population\nBinney, J. (2010). Distribution functions for the Milky Way. Notices of the Royal Society, 401, 2318–2330.\nKalberla, P. M. W., & Kerp, J.

This means increasing the extent to which disabled pupils can participate in the school curriculum (this includes teaching and learning and the wider curriculum of the school such as participation in after school clubs, leisure and cultural activities or school visits). It involves improving the environment of the school to increase the extent to which disabled pupils can take advantage of education and associated services. This includes seeking to make improvements to the physical environment of the school and to employ aids to help with access to education. It also involves improving delivery of learning to disabled pupils. For example, information which is provided in writing for pupils may be adapted to suit the needs of pupils with disabilities or additional needs.\nExamples might include handouts, timetables, textbooks and information about school events etc). The information should take account of the pupils’ disabilities, the preferred format of pupils and parents, and be made available within a reasonable timeframe. Westbury Infant School aims to treat all stakeholders, including pupils, prospective pupils, staff, governors and other members of the school community favourably and, wherever possible, takes reasonable steps to avoid placing anyone at a substantial disadvantage.\nThe school aims to work closely with disabled pupils, their families and any relevant Outside Agencies, in order to remove or minimise any potential barriers to learning, which puts them at a disadvantage, but allows them to learn, achieve and participate fully in school life. The school is active in promoting positive attitudes to disabled people in the school and in planning to increase access to education for all disabled pupils.\nAs part of the school’s continued communication with parents, carers and other stakeholders we continually look at ways to improve accessibility through data collection, questionnaires and parental discussions.\nThe school is a one storey building which has some disabled facilities and toilets. There is a fully equipped disabled toilet, with a changing bench, and an electric ceiling-mounted hoist.\nRamped wheelchair access is available into most classrooms in the main building. Access to the learning centre is via the front of the building. The playgrounds, field, Tom’s Garden and the outdoor classroom are all accessible to wheelchair users. There is a dedicated disabled parking space.<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.953125,"string":"3.953125"}}},{"rowIdx":1092,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":2119,"string":"2,119"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Thylacoleo carnifex, the largest carnivorous Australian mammal known, may have hunted other Pleistocene megafauna like the giant Diprotodon. Thylacoleo was one of the first fossil mammals described from Australia, discovered not long after European settlement. It may have been an ambush predator or scavenger, and had enormous slicing cheek teeth, large stabbing incisor teeth (replacements for the canine teeth of other carnivorous mammals) and a huge thumb claw that may have been used to disembowel its prey.\nThylacoleo carnifex is the last and largest member of the Thylacoleonidae ('marsupial lions'). Distinguishing features of thylacoleonids include enlarged cheek teeth (the third premolars) that formed long shearing blades. These were developed at the expense of posterior molar teeth, which were either reduced in size or absent.\nThylacoleo carnifex had a wide, heavy, short-snouted skull with a bony bar (postorbital bar), as in primates, behind the orbits. It has the longest shearing tooth of the thylacoleonids as well as large, serrated, canine-like upper incisors and horizontally oriented lower incisors (replacements for the canine teeth of other carnivorous mammals). Thylacoleo also had an enlarged thumb claw encased in a sheath (as in cats) that may have been used to disembowel its prey.\nLimb proportions of Thylacoleo suggest that it was cursorial (adapted for running) but not swift. Forelimb proportions are similar to those of some arboreal/saltatorial animals. Its clawed forelimb may have been used to reach out and bring food towards its mouth. Its pseudo-opposable thumb suggests that Thylacoleo may have also been at least partly scansorial (adapted for climbing). Western Australian and Tasmanian specimens are smaller than eastern Australian specimens, and sexual dimorphism (where one sex is larger than the other) is reported. The weight of Thylacoleo is estimated to have ranged from 90-160 kilograms.\nMost of the sites where Thylacoleo fossils have been found are interpreted as dry, open forest habitat (e.g., the Darling Downs and the Wellington, Naracoorte and Nullarbor caves\nThylacoleo carnifex was widely distributed across Australia during the Pleistocene. It has been found in all Australian states as well as the Northern Territory, including the Darling Downs (Queensland), Wellington Caves (New South Wales), Naracoorte Caves (South Australia) and Thylacoleo Cave on the Nullarbor Plain (Western Australia).\nFeeding and diet\nThe diet of Thylacoleo has been the subject of much debate. Thylacoleo has been described as a carnivore, a bone crusher, a scavenger or perhaps even an herbivore. It was first described by Sir Richard Owen as 'one of the fellest and most destructive of predatory beasts' (Owen 1859). Its unusual teeth and herbivorous ancestry, however, prompted further suggestions, including crocodile eggs, carrion, meat and bone marrow. The suggested diet raising the most eyebrows, however, is that of cycad nuts or native cucumbers (dubbed the 'melon-muncher' hypothesis). Palaeontologist Robert Broom had earlier pointed out that since Thylacoleo had no grinding teeth to process plant matter, it could not have included much plant food in its diet.\nMost scientists today believe that Thylacoleo was carnivorous. Its teeth seem clearly designed for slicing flesh, and its powerful forearms and large, retractable thumb claws suggest a fierce, powerful predator. A study of the skull and jaw found that Thylacoleo had a head shape typical of carnivores, similar to the skulls of other carnivores except for the reduced canines, the use of incisors as stabbing teeth, and co-opting of a premolar rather than molar as a 'carnassial' tooth (a tooth specialized for carnivory). Further study on its 'bite strength' finds that Thylacoleo had the most powerful bite of any mammalian predator, living or extinct, and that it could have taken prey much larger than itself (such as subadult Diprotodon).\nLife history cycle\nLittle has been found in the fossil record to give us direct information about the lifestyle of Thylacoleo. However, three individuals from Moree, NSW shed some light on the raising of young. An adult female adult with a very young baby ('pouch-young') and a second, older juvenile ('young-at-foot') were found in association, almost certainly a family group. The adult is represented by a complete skeleton, the baby by an incomplete lower jaw and the juvenile by a skull, all held in the fossil collection of the Australian Museum.\nFor about 100 years after its discovery, Thylacoleo carnifex was known only from fragmentary remains (teeth, partial skulls and jaws, and some postcranial fossils). The first complete skull of Thylacoleo was described in 1956, and the first near-complete skeleton (lacking a foot and tail) was found at Moree, NSW in 1966 (the mother with young described above). Much material has been recovered from Naracoorte Caves in South Australia, and several complete individuals have been discovered in Thylacoleo Cave on the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia.\nMost palaeontologists think that the ancestors of thylacoleonids were herbivores, an unusual occurrence since most carnivores evolved from other carnivorous lineages. One proposal suggests that thylacoleonids evolved from a possum ancestor (Phalangeroidea) based on dental formula, the skull of the cuscus Phalanger, and on a phalangerid-like musculature. Alternatively, evidence from certain skull features may show that thylacoleonids branched off the vombatiform line, the lineage that includes wombats and koalas.\n- Finch,M. E. 1982.

I was having a sort out of my old files and I came across my written explanation that I did for a Facebook discussion so I thought I'd turn it into an article for here. If you were my student last year then you might remember it.\n\nOK let's go. There is a circular pond with n ducks randomly distributed across the top. Each duck can be modelled as a point, so these are infinitely small ducks. What is the probability that all of the ducks are in the same half of the circle. Note here that we can draw the half way line on any diameter; they can go at any angle.\n\nA good way to get a grip on these sort of problems is to investigate the smaller cases and then see if you can build up some sort of pattern. For one duck the probability is quite clearly 1, but what about n=2? Have a go.\n\nWell for two ducks we can always draw a line which either has both ducks on the same side or, at worst, has both ducks actually on the line. You'll notice that I haven't told you what happens with these edge cases. Do we count it as both ducks on the same side? It actually doesn't matter because the chance that the two ducks are exactly opposite on the circle is infinitely small ie it happens with a probability of 0. Ok. 2 ducks always fit into half the pond.\n\nFor 3 ducks it looks like this: duck 1 is in black. We can put it arbitrarily at the top of the pond because the whole thing is rotationally symmetric. On average duck 2 is 90 degrees away. This splits the pond into regions. If the duck 3 is in any of the 3 regions next to the first two then you can draw a diameter with all 3 on oneside. However if it is opposite then you can’t. So the probability of 3 ducks being in half the pond is 3/4.\n\nDuck 1 black, average duck 2 red\n\n4 ducks carries on this logic but with more regions. Scenario 1 is that the 3rd duck (green) is between the previous 2 like this:\n\nSame as before, but with duck 3 in the same quadrant, so it doesn't affect the answer\n\nThis happens 1/ 4 of the time and if it is true then it works just like the 3 duck case, with a probability of 3/ 4 of being able to place duck 4.\n\nScenario 2 is when the 3rd duck is somewhere in the regions either side of scenario 1. On average that is 45 degrees away (if this wasn’t a uniform distribution we’d have to go through the whole integration route, but surprisingly taking the average value here works). I’ve drawn in the average duck 3 in this case. This gives you 135 degrees where you already have 3 ducks. This is 3/ 8 of the whole circle. In total you get 5/ 8 where the 4th duck can land giving you 4 on the same side.\n\nAverage duck 3 added in green for when it is in either of the 2 side quadrants\n\nPutting this together you get 1/ 4 * 3/ 4 + 1/ 2 * 5/ 8 = 8/ 16 = 1/ 2 (how satisfying is that?)\n\n5 ducks works similarly, but with more cases. Essentially you do a big probability tree. It works out as 5/ 16. So for n=1, 2, 3, 4, 5 we get p=1, 1, 3/ 4. 1/ 2. 5/ 16. This gets a lot nicer if you write it as 1/ 1, 2/ 2, 3/ 4, 4/ 8, 5/ 16, .... The numerators increase by 1, the denominators double. For the general case it appears that p=n/2^(n-1). I haven’t been able to prove this (I suspect at this point the integration method is going to be the way, but it requires stats that I can’t remember. Maybe there is a neat induction?<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":4.5,"string":"4.5"}}},{"rowIdx":1094,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":1686,"string":"1,686"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"[Editor’s note: This is the twentieth of an ongoing series that examines the rise of writing – and therefore reading – around the world. We will be looking at the major developments and forces that shaped the written languages we use today. Links to all the previous posts are listed at the end of this one.]\nWe have seen in previous posts that printing was not a new invention in the Middle Ages but that certain improvements to existing technology turned it into a revolutionary process. The availability of mechanical printers drastically changed the speed at which manuscripts could both be produced and disseminated, and the adoption of paper for such material helped to make documents cheaper and easier to distribute. These factors encouraged the growth of record-keeping and bureaucracy, and the importance of the Court of Chancery and Chancery English continued to grow. Property records, tax-collecting and other financial records, laws, and records of crime and punishment were meticulously maintained during the 1500s.\nThe number of schools rose during this time, too, and they were designed to train not only religious workers but also secular clerical workers for government positions. These schools allowed for developing literacy among a larger number of people, and further spread the developing orthographic norms. Standard norms for written English were based on London English, as it was the seat of government and education; since documents moved in greater numbers and for greater distances than people could, the London standard could therefore influence the norms of a region more easily than whatever spoken dialects travelers brought with them.\nIn 1473, William Caxton printed the first book in English, the “Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye.” Caxton based his spelling on the Chancery Standard, but he also added his own variants. In addition, the printers he brought with him to what is now Belgium came from the Low Countries; they were unused to the English language and made numerous spelling errors (e.g. any, busy, citie for eny, bisy, cittie). On occasion, they even used Dutch spellings, like adding an “h” after a “g,” so that words like “gost” became “ghost.”\nThe early printers also tended to lengthen words, for two reasons. First, they were paid by the number of lines printed, so more lines meant more money. Second, the page layout often required the right-hand side of the text to line up neatly, so they added additional letters to make words fit. Many simple spellings became more complex: e.g. frend > friend, hed > head, seson > season, fondnes > fondnesse, shal > shall.\nAs printing began to develop and operate beyond the direct control of both the church and the government, the members of this new business class became interested in setting norms for spelling – standardization of the written form. Standardization would reduce word, spelling, and, to a certain extent, pronunciation variations between peoples of different regions, and a single process would make the printing easier as a result. The burgeoning printing profession soon evolved into the publishing profession; publishers have been and still remain important in setting written standards, not just for English, but also for all other written languages.\nDuring the 1500s, written English underwent a major process of streamlining, including the reduction and subsequent elimination of many inflectional endings, such as the final unstressed “e”s, called “silent ‘e’s.” They were retained in the spelling system, but their purpose was reassigned to signal that an earlier vowel in a word had changed into a long vowel (e.g. in mate, name, while, etc.). This process, first studied and named by Danish linguist Otto Jespersen (1860–1943), became known as the Great English Vowel Shift. Next, other sounds were reduced then eliminated, such as the “k”s and “g”s in the clusters kn and gn (as in knight and gnash), and some remnants of Old English’s yogh (as in neighbor and bough). This resulted in numerous “silent letters” that have no apparent rules for their presence or absence. Over a period of just a few hundred years, English vowel pronunciations changed drastically at the very same time that word spellings were becoming set in stone. As a consequence, English was left with letter-to-written vowel correspondences different from any other language, as well as variations within the language that seem incomprehensible, such as the completely different pronunciations of word pairs like divine and divinity which one would think would sound the same.\nBy the late 1500s, the major outline of modern English orthography was in place, and changes in written form slowed considerably, but what we were left with was a more modern language paired with a spelling system from an earlier period– essentially a normalized Middle English. With the modern printing press, local spelling variations were mostly adjusted; however, publishers in different parts of the country still used spellings that reflected their own pronunciations. While some of these caught on nationally, others didn’t, and the emerging “standard” English spelling was nothing more than a hodgepodge full of inconsistencies.\nMany of the inconsistencies that arose have persisted into Modern English. In the late 1500s, for example, William Shakespeare rhymed “sword” with “word,” which made sense at the time; with constant shifts in oral pronunciation, however, they no longer do, but we haven’t bothered to update the spelling. We don’t even write our language’s name in a way that makes sense – wouldn’t “Inglish” be more appropriate? English is a muddle of its own making, and I pity anyone having to learn it as a second or third language.\n[Editor’s Note: I often have to correct non-native English speakers’ rhyming poetry, as they assume words that look like they should rhyme actually do, when they really don’t. This is a very difficult concept to get across to speakers of languages such as Spanish, where every letter is always pronounced in the exact same way, no matter what the situation.]\nNext up: Origins and Development of English Part 4\n Kemmer, Suzanne.

While in our computers, we use semiconductor made mainly of silicon crystal, Nature has found a more effective way: proteins. Protein structures facilitate long-range electron-transfer. Scientists have shown that structural features of proteins have elements that facilitate electronic conductivity.\nThis phenomenon is largely due to the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS). It causes in particular the reduction of the elastic backscattering in electron-transfer through chiral molecules. In fact, electron transmission shows that ordered films of chiral organic molecules act as electron spin filters. The CISS effect gives us important insight for spin-selective processes in biology and allows the use of chiral molecules in spintronics applications.\nThe electron-transfer process allows for the transfer of energy and information from one place to another in the living organism. Therefore, an efficient electron-transfer is essential for life.\nThis chiral effect is notably present in DNA molecules or in the photosynthesis process. In the first case, spin selectivity is observed and could play an essential role at the quantum level to code information. The involvement of electrons in information transmission and the CISS effect within the chiral DNA polymer has been confirmed by previous studies: i.e. DNA Acts Like a Wire to Conduct Electron Signals Between Proteins for Repair and Replication.\nIn photosynthesis, the electron’s high conductivity is a key component inside the photosynthetic protein–pigment complexes. The conductivity of the photosynthetic apparatus is due to its geometric and atomic structure. The main function of the light-harvesting complexes is to gather light energy and to transfer this energy to the reaction centers for the photo-induced redox processes in which a high and efficient electron transfer is essential.\nThe photosynthetic machinery produces high energy electrons that should quickly react with other atoms within the complex. However, because of the unique molecular structure and quantum properties of biomolecules within the living system, the high energy electrons are transferred with 100% efficiency within the photosynthetic core. This is the opposite result of what was expected from physicists, who generally regards the cell as a disorganized, chaotic environment that should be wholly inhospitable to maintaining quantum states. However, because of the unique structure of biomolecules, producing properties like the CISS effect, the cellular machinery is observed to be able to transmit high energy electrons with 100% efficiency—a level of efficiency usually only seen in superconductors.\nDue to the CISS effect, electron-transfer in chiral molecules is spin dependent. The phenomenon is particularly visible in the spin-selective transmission of electrons through self-assembled monolayers of double-stranded DNA. In this case, spin polarization is higher than any other known spin filters and the spin-polarized photoelectrons are observed even when the photoelectrons are generated with unpolarized light.\nIn a recent article, a numerical model was proposed to understand the CISS effect. Xu Yang from University of Groningen presented an electron transmission model that evaluates the role of the CISS effect in two-terminal and multiterminal linear-regime electron transport experiments. It revealed that for the CISS effect, the chirality-dependent spin transmission is accompanied by a spin-flip electron reflection process.\nThis would be a great contribution to society, as it may enable a whole new approach to the future of electronics.\nBy Dr. Olivier Alirol, RSF Research Scientist\nRead more at:\nACS Publication: Proteins as Solid-State Electronic Conductors\nPhysicial Chemistry Letters: Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity Effect<|endoftext|>"},"score":{"kind":"number","value":3.71875,"string":"3.71875"}}},{"rowIdx":1096,"cells":{"token_count":{"kind":"number","value":287,"string":"287"},"text":{"kind":"string","value":"Aztecăz´tĕk˝ [key], Indian people dominating central Mexico at the time of the Spanish conquest.

Developers and content creators mix text with other media, code, and HTML to produce all kinds of apps for our browsers. However, when developers mix text with code or they carelessly place strings inside of HTML they expose the app to one of the most common web-related vulns: HTML Injection, a.k.a. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). One way this happens is when developers use string concatenation to piece together a web page with static HTML and user-supplied data. For example, think of a site’s search function. When you submit a search request, the site responds with something like, \"Here are the results for XYZ,\" and lists whatever might have matched. HTML injection occurs when the search term contains markup instead of simple text, and the app treats it like this:\nHere are the results for \"\"\nSecurity researchers have discussed and demonstrated HTML injection vulns since the HTML spec’s first draft roughly 20 years ago. The root cause of the problem hasn’t changed much, but the techniques for exploiting it have. Early examples of HTML injection and XSS talked about stealing session IDs from the document.cookie object, or showed how to steal passwords from a login form. Today’s exploits leverage HTML5 features and have been integrated into sophisticated exploit frameworks. HTML injection vulns infect all kinds of sites. They have appeared in search engines, social media, banks, web-based email, even security companies. (Even a book about web security can cause web security problems.) Sometimes the flaws are so obvious that you have to wonder how developers missed the problem in the first place. The vulns seem easy to find, but the process is tedious and time consuming. In other words, it’s an ideal candidate for automation.\nWe designed WAS to accurately identify several types of HTML injection flaws. The easiest one to start with is called reflected XSS. This happens when the web app receives a request with a test payload and responds with HTML that contains the payload written in a way that changes the document’s structure. The reflected search term we mentioned previously is a prime example of this.\nalert(9)\">\nSome web apps try naive (and ultimately futile) countermeasures like looking for \"typical\" attacks that have words like \"
