Altitude Term In Math

Introduction about altitude term in math:

            Altitude or height term is defined based on the context in which it is used. As a general definition, the term altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. In this article we shall discus about altitude term based problems.




Triangle:


The total space inside the triangle is called as area of that triangle.




Formula to find Area:

            Area of right angle triangle (A) =1/2 (length x height) square unit

                                                               = 1/2 l x h square unit.

                        Here, the term height refers the altitude of the triangle.

Example problem:



A right angle triangle has length 5cm and altitude 13 cm. Find the area of that triangle.
Solution:

Given:

            Length (l) =5cm

            Altitude (h) =13cm

Formula:

Area of triangle = 1/2 (l x h) square unit.

                           = 1/2 (5 x 13)

                           = 1/2 (65)

                           =65/2

                           =32.5

Area of triangle = 32.5 cm2



A right angle triangle has length 7.5m and height 10 m. Find the area of that triangle.
Solution:

Given:

            Length (l) =7.5m

            Altitude (h) =10m

Formula:

Area of triangle = 1/2 (l x h) square unit.

                           = 1/2 (7.5 x 10)

                           = 1/2 (75)

                           =75/2

                           =37.5

Area of triangle = 37.5 cm2


Rhombus:


The altitude of rhombus is the distance between base and opposite side of the base.




Formulas:

Area of the rhombus (A) = b x a

                                    b – Base of rhombus.

                                    a – altitude of rhombus

If two diagonal lengths are given:

Area of the rhombus (A) = (d1 x d2)/2

Example problems:

1.      The altitude and base of rhombus are 11 cm and 6cm respectively. Find are of rhombus.

Solution:

      Given:

                  Altitude of rhombus (a) = 11 cm

                         Base of rhombus (b) = 6 cm

            Area of the rhombus (A) = b x a square units.

                                                      = 11 x 6

                                                      = 66

      Area of the rhombus (A) = 66 cm2

2.      The altitude and base of rhombus are 14 cm and 10cm respectively. Find are of rhombus.

Solution:

      Given:

                  Altitude of rhombus (a) = 14 cm

                         Base of rhombus (b) = 10 cm

            Area of the rhombus (A) = b x a square units.

                                                      = 14 x 10

                                                      = 140

      Area of the rhombus (A) = 140 cm2

How To Cross Multiply

Introduction of How to Cross Multiply:

Cross multiplication is the easiest method that can be done in the equation form of two fraction form. For Example: `(4)/(16)` = `(3)/(12)`. By using the cross multiply method, we can check this given example as 4 * 12 = 48 and 16 * 3 = 48. Now it be proved that  `(4)/(16)` = `(3)/(12)`. Let see how to do the cross multiply and example problem of cross multiply.


Rules – How to Cross Multiply:


Let take

`(P)/(Q)` ….. Fraction 1

`(R)/(S)` ………. Fraction 2

Now equate the two fractions as in the form of `(P)/(Q)` … = `(R)/(S)` ……fraction equation

Rule 1: How to cross multiply means, multiply denominator of the fraction 2 with numerator of the fraction 1 as well as multiply denominator of the fraction 1 with numerator of the fraction 2

P * S = Q * R

Rule 2: Multiply the term on both sides of the fraction equation, and then the value of the term remains unchanged.

PS = QR

Multiply term A on both sides then its value is not changed. PSA = QRA.

Let we see example problem of how to cross multiply.


Example Problem – How to Cross Multiply:



Example 1:

How to find the value of x in given equation `(3)/(x)` = `(4)/(8)`?

Solution:

Step 1: Multiply 8 with the numerator of the fraction `(3)/(x)`.

3 * 8 = 24

Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction 3/x with numerator of the fraction 4/8.

x * 4 = 4 x

Step 3: Equate above two steps, 4 x = 24

Step 5: Divide 4 by both sides, we get 4 * (`(x)/(4)`) = `(24)/(4)`

Then the value of x = 6

Answer: x= 6

Example 2:

How to solve this equation `(X - 3)/(4)` = `(5)/(2)`?

Solution:

Step 1: Multiply 2 with the numerator of the fraction `(X - 3)/(4)`.

2 * (X - 3) = 2X - 6

Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction `(X - 3)/(4)` with numerator of the fraction `(5)/(2)`.

4 * 5 = 20

Step 3: Equate above two steps, 2X – 6 = 20

2X = 14

Step 5: Divide 2 by both sides, we get 2 * (`(X )/(2)`) = `(14)/(2)`

Then the value of X = 7

Answer: x= 7

Math h Functions

Introduction:

The hyperbolic functions are defined as the analogs of common trigonometric functions. The fundamental hyperbolic functions include sin h called as the hyperbolic sine, cos h called the hyperbolic cosine and the tan h called the hyperbolic tangent function.

The hyperbolic functions are just the rational functions of the exponentials. The mathematical hyperbolic functions are also called as the math h functions. In this article we are going to see various math h functions.


Expressions of math h functions:


There are various mathematical algebraic expressions given to the math h functions.

The hyperbolic sine of x is given by sinh x = ½ (ex-e-x).

The hyperbolic cosine of x is given by cosh x = ½ (ex+e-x).

The hyperbolic tangent of x is given by tanh x = sinh x/cosh x

= (ex-e-x) / (ex+e-x)

= e2x-1 / e2x+1

The hyperbolic cosecant of x is given by csch x = (sinh x)-1

= 2 / ex-e-x

The hyperbolic secant of x is given by sech x = (cosh x)-1

= 2 / ex+e-x

The hyperbolic cotangent of x is given by coth x = cosh x / sinh x

= (ex+e-x) / (ex- e-x)

= e2x+1 / e2x-1 .


Math h functions with respect to circular functions:


The hyperbolic functions or math h function with respect to the circular functions is given by

x = a cos t and y = a sin t

Here the circle is given as a rectangular hyperbola.

The math h functions exist in many applications of mathematics which involve the integrals with v (1+x2) and the circular functions with v (1-x2)

The math h functions also include many identities similar to that of the trigonometric identites. The identites of the math h functions includes

Cosh2 x – sinh2 x = 1

Cosh x + sinh x = ex

Cosh x – sinh x = e-x

The identities for the complex arguments includes

Sinh (x+iy) = sinh x cos y + i cosh x sin y

Cosh (x+iy) = cosh x cosy + i sinh x sin y.

History for symbols that represent me


A very elongated form of the modern equality symbol (=) was first introduced in print in The Whetstone of Witte (1557) by Robert Recorde (1510-1558) the man who first introduced algebra into England.  He justified the symbol by stating that no two things can be more equal than a pair of parallel lines...
The infinity symbol was first given its current mathematical meaning in "Arithmetica Infinitorum" (1655) by the British mathematician John Wallis (1616-1703).

Symbols that represent me : Further history


Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) viewed integration as a generalized summation, and he was partial to the name "calculus summatorius" for what we now call [integral] calculus.  He eventually settled on the familiar elongated ‘s’  for the sign of integration, after discussing the matter with Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) who favored the name "calculus integralis" and the symbol  I  for integrals...  Eventually, what prevailed was the symbol of Leibniz, with the name advocated by Bernoulli...

In Math What Does Range Mean


Introduction to range in math:

  • In math, Data set is a collection of data, which is usually presented, in tabular form. Each column represents a variable. In math, Range is generally defined as the value we obtained as a result of difference between a greater value and a smaller value.
  • In other words, range is defined as the difference between a maximum and minimum value.

Steps to learn the range in math:


     In order to learn the range of data set the following steps are necessary.
     Step 1: Arrange the numbers from ascending to descending order.
     Step 2: Identify the greater value in the given set
     Step 3: Identify the smaller value in the given set
     Step 4: Find the difference between the greater value and the smaller value to identify the range of the given data set.

Worked Examples for range in math:


Example 1:
Find the range of the data set given below:
                    8 , 15 , 13 , 7 , 24 , 37 , 6.
    Step 1: Arranging the numbers given in data set from least to greatest.
                    6 , 7 , 8 , 13 , 15 , 24 , 37.
    Step 2: Identify the greater value in the given set
                  From the given set, we can identify 37 as the greater value.
    Step 3: Identify the smaller value in the given set
                  From the given set, we can identify  6 as the smaller value.
    Step 4: Find the Range.
                          Range     =   Greater value – Smaller value
                                           =   37 - 6
                                           =  31
                   Hence, the range of the given data set is 31.
Example 2:
Find the range of the data set shown below:
                    33 , 12 , 79 , 24 , 34 , 53 , 27 , 61
     Step 1: Arranging the numbers given in data set from least to greatest.
                    12 , 24 , 27 , 33 , 34 , 53 , 61 , 79.
     Step 2: Identify the greater value in the given set
                    From the given set, we can identify 79 as the greater value.
     Step 3: Identify the smaller value in the given set
                    From the given set, we can identify  12 as the smaller value.
    Step 4: Find the Range.
                              Range    =   Greater value – Smaller value
                                               =   79 - 12
                                               =   67
                        Hence, the range of the given data set is 67.

Practice problems for range in math:

                    7 , 9 , 19 , 31 , 37 , 43 , 6 , 37
     Answer: 37
2) Find the range of the data set shown below:
                    14 , 11 , 32 , 10 , 32 , 77 , 27 , 43
     Answer: 67

Geometrical Meaning of the Zeroes of a Polynomial

We know that  a real number k is a zero of the polynomial p(x) if p(k) = 0 in a geometrical way.

The x-coordinate of the point, where the graph of a polynomial intersect the x-axis is called the zero of the polynomial.

An nth - degree polynomial intersects the x-axis of n points and therefore, has a maximum of n zeros in geometrical graph

In a quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx +c,

If a>0, then the graph is a parabola that open upwards.

If a<0, then the graph is a parabola that open downwards.

Special case to the zeroes of a polynomial in geometrical meaning


In a geometrical way the evaluation of zeroes with polynomial evaluation of the equation in geometrical meaning is follows

Case (i) :

Here, the graph cuts x-axis at two distinct points A and A′.
The x-coordinates of A and A′ are the two zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c in this case is shown in the following figure



Case (ii) :

The graph given here cuts the x-axis at exactly one point, i.e., at two coincident points. So, the two points A and A′ of Case (i) coincide here to become one point A is shown in the following figure.



The x-coordinates  of the  A is the only zero for the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c in this case.

No zero case

The graph given here is either completely above the x-axis or completely below the x-axis. So, it does not cut the x-axis at any point

So, the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c has no zero in this case.
So, you can see geometrically that a quadratic polynomial can have either two distinct zeroes or two equal zeroes (i.e., one zero), or no zero. This also refers that the polynomial of degree 2 has at-most two zeroes is shown in the following figure.
