INTRODUCTION: The invention of Cartesian coordinates in the 17th century by René Descartes revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra. A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, usually at ordered pair (0, 0). The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed …show more content…
RATIO FORMULA/SECTION FORMULA: When a point divides a line we have to deal with two types of division i.e. internal division and external division. INTERNAL DIVISION: Let us consider the diagram below: Let R (x,y) be a point which divides the line segment joining the points P (x_1,y_1) and Q (x_2,y_2) internally in the ratio of m∶n such that PR∶RQ = m∶n. Let us draw a perpendicular PN, QM and RS on OX respectively. Again, PT and RK are drawn parallel to OX so that they intersect RS and QM at T and K respectively. We can observe that PTR and RKQ are similar triangles and so we can write as PT∶RK = PR∶RQ …(i) TR∶KQ = PR∶RQ …(ii) ⇒ PT/RK = PR/RQ = m/n [From (i)] Since PT = NS = OS – ON = x-x_1, And RK = SM = OM – OS = x_2-x Therefore we can write, ( x-x_1)/(x_2-x) = m/n ⇒ nx-nx_1=mx_2-mx ⇒ mx+nx=mx_2+nx_1 ⇒ x(m+n)=mx_2+nx_1 ⇒ x= (mx_2+nx_1)/(m+n) TR/KQ = PR/RQ = m/n [From (ii)] Since TR = SR – ST = SR – NP = y-y_1, And KQ = MQ – MK = MQ – SR = y_2-y Therefore we can write, ( y-y_1)/(y_2-y) = m/n ⇒ ny-ny_1=my_2-my ⇒ my+ny=my_2+ny_1 ⇒ y(m+n)=my_2+ny_1 ⇒ y= …show more content…
m : n = 1 : 1 then the coordinates of R will be ((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2) Example 1: The coordinates of P are (3, – 2) and the coordinates of Q are (– 3, – 2). R divides PQ in the ratio of 4 : 3. Find the coordinates of R and the length of PR. Solution: Let the coordinates of R be (x, y) Here (x_1,y_1)= (3, – 2), (x_2,y_2)= (– 3, – 2) and m : n = 4 : 3 Now, x = (4(-3)+3(3))/(4+3)= (-12+9)/7= 3/7 y = (4(-2)+3(-2))/(4+3)= (-8-6)/7= (-14)/7= – 2 The required coordinates of Point R that divides PQ in the ratio of 4: 3 = (3/7 , – 2) Again, PR2 = ( 3/7 – 3)2 + [– 2– (– 2)]2 = (–18/7)2 + (0)2 = 324/49 + 0 = 324/49 PR = √(324/49) = 18/7= 2.571 Example 2: If the line segment joining the points A (1, – 2) and B (– 3, 4) gets trisected at the points P1 and P2, find the coordinates of P1 and

If the two numbers that were given to you were 2 to 1 what would the ratio be. Well if you do the 1 to 2 then it will be 1:2/ 1to2/ ½ because the number that comes first is the number that goes in the ratio first. 2} Fraction-Miguel has ⅖ cup of peanuts and ⅓ cups of dried cherries, how many cups of food does he has?

"Function Composition" is applying one function to the results of another. Some functions can be de-composed into two (or more) simpler functions. Assume that the center point is stored in the variables xc and yc, and the perimeter point is in xp and

Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.

Abstract: Mathematics is a great subject that has developed greatly throughout the years. It has been present for a long time and throughout different societies. The American Indians are a group of people with an incredible culture full of amazing facts. Evidence of their work proofs their knowledge and understanding of different mathematical concepts that only makes us admire their culture even more. Such evidence allows us to explore how the American Indians counted and how they displayed mathematical understanding in their earthwork and art.

((320.5 + 315.8) / 2)) * 100]) and solved to get (1.58%). For the second station we had to determine the distance required to balance the system and the percent difference. To find the unknown distance we set up the equation Fleft*dleft = Fright*dright. We then plugged in the values (11.35 N * x cm = 48cm *
With this small change (by 51.4 seconds), it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the different temperatures of sodium solution and the time it takes for the ice cube to melt in the sodium solution. The raw data graph also has a c or the y intercept of 64.24 seconds and the R2 value is 0.97281. R2 value is a fraction between 0.0 and 1.0, and has no units. An R2 value of 0.0 means that knowing X does not help you predicts Y. There is no linear relationship between X and Y, and the best-fit line is a horizontal line going through the mean of all Y values.
Part B Introduction The importance of Geometry Children need a wealth of practical and creative experiences in solving mathematical problems. Mathematics education is aimed at children being able to make connections between mathematics and daily activities; it is about acquiring basic skills, whilst forming an understanding of mathematical language and applying that language to practical situations. Mathematics also enables students to search for simple connections, patterns, structures and rules whilst describing and investigating strategies. Geometry is important as Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2010, p. 394) foresee as it allows children the prospect to engage in geometry through enquiring and investigation whilst enhancing mathematical thinking, this thinking encourages students to form connections with other key areas associated with mathematics and builds upon students abilities helping students reflect

Clinical Background 2.1 The human spine The human spine (also referred to as vertebral column or spinal column) is a bony structure in the middle of the back starts at the base of the skull and continues to the pelvis. It consists of vertebrae (small bones) and joints (intervertebral disks) together to form a flexible and stable spinal column.
