Mix Word Problems Math

Introduction: Two different quantities having different percentage of needed substances can be mixed together to get the desired amount. This is called mix word problem in math. For example: Let X and Y be two different solutions. Each are having different percentage of Salt in it. Those two X and Y can be mixed together to get the required percentage of the final solutions. Now let us see few problems of this kind. Example Problems on Mix Word Problems Math: Ex 1: Two salt solutions having 12% and 36% of salts respectively in them. They are added together to form 40% of salt solution. If 280 liters of 12% salt solution is added, how many liters of 36% has to be added? Soln: Let x be the salt solution. Given: `36/100` x + `12/100` `xx` 280 = `40/100` (X + 80) `=>` 36x + 3360 = 40x +3200 `=>` 40x – 36x = 3360 – 3200 `=>` 4x = 160 `=>` x = 40 liters. Ex 2: Two oils have to be mixed together. One of the oil has 15% of the required content and the other has 30% of the required content. How many liters of 30% of oil have to be added to 290 liters of 15% of the oil, so that we can have a mix of 42% of the oil content? Soln: Let X be the amount of oil with 30% content in it. Given: `30/100` (x) + `15/100` (290) = `42/100` (x + 90) `=>` 30x + 15`xx` 290 = 42x + 42`xx` 90 `=>` 12x = 4350 – 3780 `=>` x = `570/12` = 47.50 liters More Example Problem on Mix Word Problems Math: Ex 3: Two herbals have to be mixed together. One of them has 25% of the required vitamins and the other has 35% of the required vitamins. How many liters of 25% of herbal have to be added to 120 liters of 45% of herbal, so that we can have a mix of 40% of vitamins? Soln: Let x be the amount of herbal with 25% vitamin in it. Given: `25/100` (x) + `45/100` (120) = 40/100 (x+120) `=>` 25x + 5400 = 40x + 4800 `=>` 15x = 5400 – 4800 = 600 `=>`x = `600/15` x = 40liters

Horizontal Lines in Math

Introduction to Horizontal Lines in Math:
              
              Horizontal lines in math are used for arithmetic operations which denotes the next step in this operations. Generally it does not have any meaning or symbols or notation or formula but it is expressed for easy understanding of the problems. In every math problems horizontal lines are present especially with the dividing symbol. In fraction, horizontal lines divides numerator and denominator in math. A horizontal line in math separates the equations when substituting the equation steps.



Applications of Horizontal lines in math:


             In all math problems we denote horizontal lines.Some of the applications are,

  • In addition we are using horizontal lines when we adding numbers we expressed the horizontal lines for sum answers
            Example 12
                          +14
                            26

  • In subtraction we apply as same as addition for the subtracted answers
             Example 20
                            -12
                              8  
  • In multiplication horizontal lines express for the multiply value with the multiplicand
             Examples  12
                              ` xx ` 14    
                                  48 
                                12    
                                168   
  • In division horizontal lines are shows the divide symbols which denotes quotient and steps involved in the division.
             Example 12 by 3
                             `12/3` =4  
  • In fraction we denotes the horizontal lines for separations of numerator and denominator by use of  horizontal lines.
              Example` 5/3, 4/3` here 5 is the numerator and 4 is denominator.
  • In algebraic equations when we equating two equations horizontal lines express the next step for equations in both elimination and substitution method we have horizontal lines for equations.
              Example 2x+y =5 .........(1)
                                 x-y  =4........(2)
                                3x =9
                                  x=`9/3 `
                                  x=3
                       substitute x=3  in (2)
                            3-y =4
                                y=`4/3`
                           



Example Problems for Horizontal lines in math:


Example 1:

      Add 24 and 10.

Solution:
          24
       + 10
         34 

Example 2:
    Subtract  -24 and 10

Solution:
          24
        - 10
          14

Example 3:

         Multiply 10  ` xx`

Solution:
           
       10
    `xx`      4
        40
Example 4:
      Divide 25 ÷ 5

Solution:
         `25/5` = 5

Example 5:

      Simplify `4/3+ 2/3`

Solution:

      `4/3+2/3= 6/3`

Example 6:
           solve x+y =3
                   2x-y  =0

Solution:
                        x+y =3 .........(1)
                      2x-y  =0........(2)
                                3x =3
                                  x=`3/3 `
                                  x=1
                       substitute x=1  in (2)
                            1-y =4
                                y=`4/1`
                                y=4

Step Functions In Math

Introduction to step function:

     A step function in math is one of the concepts of functions in math. The line is the collection of x and y points. At the same time x and y value can be increased values. We can plot this points on the graph we can get the equation of the line. That forms the step figure. So these functions are known as step functions.


Definition of Step functions in math
Definition of Step function:
    A function in the real analysis R can be defined as the step function it can be written as linear combination of semi open intervals. Open interval can be defined as [a, b) in R.  Then the step function f(x) can be described as,

f(x) =a1 f1(x) + a2 f2(x) + …………………… + an fn(x)

Brief Description of the Heaviside Step functions in math

This involves the following steps.

They are,

Step 1: First we can form the equation into y = m x + b form.

Step 2: Substitute any value for x we can get the y values.

Step 3: Plot the (x, y) points on the graph.

Step 4: This line plot increases sequentially.

Step 5: It look like as a step format.

These are the main steps used in math step functions.

Consider the equation of the line y = x -1

Substitute the values for x we can get the y values.

Substitute x=1 in the given equation y = x -1.

That is y= 1 – 1 = 0

Therefore the (x, y) co-ordinate is (1, 0)

Substitute x=2 in the given equation y = x -1.

That is y= 2 – 1 = 1

Therefore the (x, y) co-ordinate is (2, 1)

Substitute x=0 in the given equation y = x -1.

That is y= 0 – 1 = -1

Therefore the (x, y) co-ordinate is (0, -1)

Substitute x=-1 in the given equation y = x -1.

That is y= =-1 – 1 = -2

Therefore the (x, y) co-ordinate is (-2, -2)

Substitute x=-2 in the given equation y = x -1.

That is y= -2 – 1 = -3

Therefore the (x, y) co-ordinate is (-1, -3)

We can tabulate these points

X: -2 -1  0 1 2

Y: -3 -2 -1 0 1

Here the x and y values are correspondingly varies. So this function is namely known as step function.

The graph of the step function in math described as
Step function y=x-1


This is also known as Heaviside step functions in math.

Define Hypothesis Math Term

Define hypothesis math term:

The term hypothesis refers the condition statement just after the word if. In the given conditional statement.

For example Suppose the condition is “in the given quadrilateral figure -  four sides are equal in measure then the shape is said to be square” the hypothesis of the given statement is “all four sides are equal in measure. In the given example,” all four sides are equal in measure. “Always, never or sometimes true.

Options:

1)Always

2)Never

3)Sometimes.

Answer is (3)

Solution:

Answer 3) sometimes it is correct because, it’s true if only the given shape is square, In case of other shapes like rectangle, rhombus then  condition is not satisfied.


Example 1)

Find the math term hypothesis of the given equation.

If x = 1 then x2 +3x +5 = 9

Option:

1)True

2)false 

Answer : 1)True.

Solution:

Substitute x value in the given equation,

X+3x+5 =9

1+3(1) +5 = 9

1+3+5 =9

9=9

Therefore the given condition is true.

Example 2:

Find the math term hypothesis in t he given statement is “Every  integer greater than 1 is product of prime number “

Solution:

Let us consider the if  x is true statement .

Therefore ,

X`=>` y  is a true statement  and y is a true  conditional statement.

Now,we need to find the series of the statement x1,x2 …..etc.,and then verifies the given conditional statement” Every  integer greater than 1 is product of prime number”.

X=x1

X1=x2,

X2=x3,

….

….

Xn-1 =xn

Xn =Y are ture.

Because assume that the given statement X is true then all repeated statement of the simple rule  Y  is true..

Example 3:

The conditional statement is “if n is an integer then n2 is even  and then n is odd.”

Solution:

N is odd  number .

so  n-1 is even number .

Therefore , we have,

n-1 =2k

where ,k is the constant .

n-1 = 2k ,k `in` Z

n=2k+1

Similarly we have by hypothesis,

  n2 =x;  x `in` Z

And then,

n2 = 4k2 +4k+1

 =2(2k2 +2k)+1

In the above equation, 2(2k2+2k) is even number.

So 2(2k2+2k) +1 is the odd number.Therefore our hypothesis is violated.

So  the integer number “n “ must be even number.

So,

X`=>` S =” n2  is even ”

Y  `=>` ” n is even ”

Not –Y `=>` ” n is odd ”


Practice problems related to the term hypothesis in math :


1) Prove that if m and n are even integers, then n +m is even.

2) Prove that if n is an odd integer, then n 2 is an odd integer.

Find Domain off

Introduction of Domain function

The domain of definition or simply the domain of a function is the set of "input" or argument values for which the function is defined. That is, the function provides an "output" or "value" for each member of the domain. The domain of cosine is the set of all real numbers, while the domain of the square root consists only of numbers greater than or equal to 0 when the Function is represented in an xy

Tutorvista math help example problem


Example 1:

Sum the polynomial  5x4 – 6x2 + 9x + 5 and 5x + 6x3 – 3x2 – 1.

Solution:

Use the associative property and distributive properties add real numbers

(5x4 – 6x2 + 9x + 5) + (6x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 1) = 5x4 + 6x3 – 6x2 – 3x2 + 9x + 5x + 5 – 1

= 5x4 + 6x3 – (6+3)x2 + (9+5)x + 4

= 5x4 + 6x3 – 9x2 + 14x + 4.

An another method for adding two polynomials

5x4 +0x3– 6x2 + 9x + 5

0x4 + 6x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 1

____________________
8x4 + 6x3– 9x2 + 14x + 4
____________________

Example 2:

Consider e1 and e2 are two events with a random trial such that P(E2)=0.25, P(E1 or E2)= 0.95 and P(E1 and E2) = 0.35, find the value of P(E1).

Solution:

Let P (E1) = x then,

P (E1 or E2) = P (E) + P (E2) – P (E1 and E2)

0.95 = x + 0.25 – 0.35

Adding the trial value

x = (0.95-0.25 + 0.35) = 0.65

Hence the value of P (E1) = 1.05

Example 3:

Find the increases percentage value from 35 to 50.5?

Solution:

Changes in value = new value – original value

50.5 – 35 = 15.5

Increased percentage = `15.5 / 35` x100%

Answer:

The increased percentage value is = 44.2%
