Why is math so hard to do for other people in the world?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To make math easy for my students, whenever I become a math teacher, is the sole purpose why I want to be an educator. To understand how to make math easy, one needs to understand the whats, hows, whys of why people struggle with math.

Most people do not relate to math well and it usually starts around the middle/highschool level.

It's really no one's fault, to be honest.

At some point after arithmetic people start to lose sight, rather never realize what math is actually about. Math is more than counting, it is about critical thinking, logic, reason, pattern, and theory, way more than just digits. Yet, common education( at least here in the US) teaches to follow steps to solve problems as if it were a cookbook, just memorize the recipe and your good to go. If one gets the right or wrong answer, they would be lost as to explain what is truly happening.

Example Learning algebra I followed steps to solve for “x. ” Yet, I never knew, truly, what I was doing. All I remember thinking was the y intercept helped me get the “x.” Only later in self study in college did I bump into the fundamental theorem of algebra…. It all made sense. That moment put it into perspective for me.

If we want people to be good at math we have to give perspective on what is being taught, either presenting theory(which Uncle Sam should do), or simply by giving the bigger picture. With my example, to many people, they see it as a whole bunch digits and letters, get confused, and rightly so. If we explain to someone what's going down, that we are studying lines and that the intercepts(roots) help us better study(analyze) and capture these here lines and curves.

“Mr. Teacherman, Why do we need to study lines and cruves?” Great question student! To help us better understand the world around us. Just studying these simple curves on a graph may seem meaningless, but it forms the basis for things that aid us in many human endeavors, from building edifices to computer programming.

I wish that teachers did that in every class everyday.

In the US, we follow the cookbook method disservicing an entire country, especially those who are on the lower end of society.

Answers

Answer: 5/7

Explanation:

You start with 6 + 8(x - 1) = 2(3x + 4)
Wow. That looks like a lot, so you need to take it one step at a time. Because of PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), which gives us the order of Parentheses (), Exponents(Baby Numbers), Multiply or Divide from left to right according to where it is in the problem, and Add or Subtract from left to right according to where it is in the problem, you need to look at your parentheses first. Let’s start with
8(x - 1). 8 is touching those parentheses all by itself, so it’s being multiplied with the stuff in the parentheses. 8 times x is 8x and 8 times 1 is 8. That gives you

6 + 8x - 8 = 2(3x + 4)

Do the same thing with 2(3x + 4). 2 is touching those parentheses all by itself so you multiply it by the stuff inside to get 6x + 8. You now have

6 + 8x - 8 = 6x + 8

But where do we go from here? Okay well what you’re trying to do is get a single x by itself on one side of the equals and the answer on the other side. So, we have

6 + 8x - 8 = 6x + 8

Let’s start on the left side with 6 + and - 8. If you have 6 and you take 8 away, you can’t because you’ll still need 2, so 6 - 8 = -2. That leaves you with

8x - 2 = 6x + 8

Then, you take the 6x from the right side and add it to the 8x on the left. You have 14x. This gives you

14x - 2 = 8

Look at -2. We want to get rid of that, so we would do the opposite of - which is + so we would add.

14x - 2 = 8
+ 2 + 2
——————
14x = 10

Now look at 14x, which is the same as 14 times x. The opposite of multiplying is dividing so divide.

14x = 10
/14 /14

X = 10/14 which simplifies into 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can utilize the factored form of a parabola to find a possible equation.

Factored Form: [tex]y = a(x - h)(x - k)[/tex]

h and k are roots

Since the roots of the parabola are given, we can plug in the roots for h and k, and plug in 1 for a and multiply to find the equation.

Find the Equation[tex]y = a(x - h)(x - k)[/tex][tex]y = 1(x - 2)(x +3)[/tex][tex]y = 1(x^2 + x - 6)[/tex][tex]y = x^2 + x - 6[/tex]

One possible equation is [tex]y = x^2 + x - 6[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

8/15= 0.533

Step-by-step explanation:

8 divided by 15 isn't possible so according to the rules of division we introduce a (0.) then we add a (0) to the back of (8) to make it (80) which is bigger than (15) so we now have (80/15) which is (5) remaining (5) then we add the back of the (0.) it then becomes (0.5) we then step down the remaining (5) and also add a (0) at the back to make it (50) which is also bigger than (15) (50/15) which gives us (3) and a remaining (5) add (3) to the back of (0.5) to become (0.53) also still step down the remaining (5) add a zero to it to become (50) still divide by (15) gives (3) and remains (5) and it gives the same answer so it is a reoccurring decimal.

what is the slope on ​

Answers

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rise over run or the change in y over the change in x. In this case, the y decreases by 3 while the x increases by 1. Since one value increases while the other decreases the slope must be negative. So if we put the 3 over 1 and make it negative the answer is -3/1, which simplifies to -3.

To find:

The [tex]m\angle ADC[/tex].

Solution:

In circle B, [tex]\angle ABC[/tex] is central angle and [tex]\angle ADC[/tex] is inscribed angle from two points A and C.

According to central angle theorem, central angle is always twice of inscribed angle.

[tex]m\angle ABC=2(m\angle ADC)[/tex]         [Central angle theorem]

[tex]60=2(m\angle ADC)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]\dfrac{60}{2}=m\angle ADC[/tex]

[tex]30=m\angle ADC[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]m\angle ADC=30[/tex].
