Factor Polynomials Completely

In mathematics, a rational function is any function which can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions. Factorization (also factorisation in British English) or factoring is the decomposition of an object (for example, a number, a polynomial, or a matrix) into a product of other objects, or factors, which when multiplied together give the original. (Source: Wikipedia)

meters to centimeters

The meter is the basic unit in mathematics. The meter is used for calculating the distance. The symbol of meter is ‘m’.

The kilo meter is a unit of distance end to end in a metric system. It is the usually used measurement unit for expressing distances between geographical places in most of the world

One kilometer = 1000 meter

One meter = 1 * 100 centimeters

One kilometer = 1* 100000 centimeters

Examples for meters to centimeters:

Example 1:

The Scale A 25 millimeter in one hour. The second scale B 8 millimeters in one ground. What is the difference between the Scale A and B?

Solution:

Here scale A and scale B having the speed in unusual units. Here we need to convert the speed in the equal unit and find the difference between Scale A and Scale B.

Scale A = one millimeter = 0.1 centimeter

So 25 millimeter = 25 * 0.1 = 2.5 centimeter

Scale B = 8 millimeter

Difference = 2.5 - 0.8 = 1.7 centimeter

Example 2:

Convert the 12 kilometers in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 12 kilometers = 12 * 100000 = 1200000

Answer:

So, 12 kilometers = 1200000 centimeters

Example 3:

Convert the 250 meters in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1meter = 100 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 250 meters = 250 * 100 = 25,000

Answer:

So, 250 meters = 25000 centimeters

Example 4:

Convert the 2000 mm in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1mm = 0.1 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 2000 mm = 2000 * 0.1 = 200

Answer:

So, 2000 mm = 200 centimeters

Example 5:

Find the centimeters for 20 kilometers?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 20 kilometers = 20 * 1 00 000 = 2 000 000

Answer:

So, 20 kilometers = 2 000 000 centimeters

Example 6:

Convert the 500 meters in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1meter = 100 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 500 meters = 500 * 100 = 50,000

Answer:

So, 500 meters = 50,000 centimeters

Example 7:

Convert the 10,000 mm in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1mm = 0.1 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 10,000 mm = 10,000 * 0.1 = 1000

Answer:

So, 10,000 mm = 1000 centimeters

Example 8:

Find the centimeter for 216 kilometers

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 216 kilometers = 216 * 100000 = 21 600 000

Answer:

So, 216 kilometers = 21 600 000 centimeters

Example 9:

Convert the 75 meters in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1meter = 100 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 75 meters = 75 * 100 = 7500

Answer:

So, 75 meters  = 7500 centimeters

Example 10:

Convert the 15000 mm in centimeter?

Solution:

Step 1:

From the formula

1mm = 0.1 centimeter

Step 2:

Therefore 15000 mm = 15000 * 0.1 = 1500

Answer:

So, 15000 mm = 1500 centimeters

Converting Mixed Numbers


Mixed numbers is one of the basis concept of arithmetic. If we divide one number by another, we get a fraction. For example if 4 is divided by 5 we get `(4)/(5). ` The number above the bar is called the numerator and the number below the bar is called the denominator. If the numerator is less than the denominator it is called a proper fraction and if the number is greater than the denominator, it is called an improper fraction. An improper fraction can also be expressed a combination of an integer and a proper fraction. If we represent in this fashion it is called a mixed fraction or mixed number. For example `(6)/(5)`is an improper fraction and also can be represented as 1`(1)/(5)` which is a mixed fraction.

Algebra Absolute Value Inequalities


Algebra absolute value inequalities are nothing but the absolute value inequalities using the algebraic expression. Here we are going to see how to solve absolute value inequalities in algebra. We will see some example problems foe algebra absolute value inequalities. It is better to understand the inequalities. Normally absolute value mean without considering the sign of the value. For example |x| = `+-x`

Example problems for algebra absolute value inequalities:

Example 1 for algebra absolute value inequalities:

Solve the following |x + 3| `gt=` 5

Solution:

Given equation is |x + 3| `gt=` 5

We can divide these into two parts.

(x + 3) `gt=` 5 and - (x +3) `gt=` 5

First part:

If we take the first part (x + 3) `gt=` 5

Add -3 on both sides

We get x + 3 – 3 `gt=` 5 – 3

x `gt=` 2

Second part:

- (x +3) `gt=` 5

-x – 3 `gt=` 5

Add +3 on both sides

-x – 3 + 3 `gt=` 5 + 3

-x `gt=` 8

So x `lt=` -8

So the solution is -8 `gt=` x `gt=` 2

We will see some more examples for Solving Absolute Value Inequalities. It is better to understand the concept.

Example 2 for algebra absolute value inequalities:

Solve the following |x - 9| `lt= ` 2

Solution:

Given equation is |x - 9| <= 2

We can divide these into two parts.

(x - 9) `lt=` 2 and - (x - 9) `lt= ` 2

First part:

If we take the first part (x - 9) `lt=` 2

Add + 9 on both sides

We get (x – 9 + 9) `lt=` 2 + 9

x `lt= ` 11

Second part:

- (x - 9) `lt=` 2

-x + 9 `lt=` 2

Add -9 on both sides

-x + 9 – 9 `lt=` 2 - 9

-x`lt=` -7

So x `gt=` 7

So the solution is 7`lt=` x `lt=` 11

My previous blog post was on 10th grade math please express your views on the post by commenting.

These are some of the example for algebra absolute value inequalities. From this we can understand how to solve the algebra absolute value inequalities.

Quadratic Equations


A quadratic equation in the variable of x is an equation of the general form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b and c are coefficients, a ≠ 0. The letter "x" is the variable or unknown.

The constants a is called coefficient of x^2, b is called linear coefficient (coefficient of x) and c is called the constant term.

Similarly, 2x^2 – 3x + 1 = 0, 3x^2-5x -2 = 0 and x^2-x- 300 = 0 are also quadratic equations. In fact, any equation of the form p(x) = 0.

Where p(x) is a polynomial of degree 2, is the quadratic equation. This is the simplest way to the factorize would be to find the common factors.

Solving quadratic equation using quadratic formula:

X = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ]/ 2a

Solve the quadratic equation using factoring method:

Example problem 1:

Solve: x^2-10x + 9=0

Solution:

Factoring by splitting the middle term method,

Here a = coefficient of x^2 = 1

b = coefficient of x = -10

c = constant term = 9

We find a × c = 1× 9 = 9 = -1*-9, (-1) + (-9) = -10 = b.

x^2 - 10x + 9 = 0

x^2 + (- 1 - 9)x + 9 = 0

x^2 – 1 x – 9 x + 9 = 0

x (x - 1) – 9 (x - 1) = 0

(x – 1) (x – 9) = 0

x = 1, 9

So, the answer is x = 1, 9.

Between, if you have problem on these topics Applications of Quadratic Equations, please browse expert math related websites for more help on online math equation solver.

Solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula:

Example problem 2:

Solve: x^2-4x + 3=0

Solution:

Coefficients are: a = 1, b = -4, c = 3

Quadratic Formula: x = [-b ± √ (b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

Put in a, b and c: x = [-(-4) ± √ [(-4)2-4×1× (3)] / (2×1)

Solve:  x = [4 ± √ (16-12)]/2

x = [4 ± √ (4)]/2

x = (4 ± 2)/2

x= (4+2)/2                                       x = (4-2)/2

x= (6)/2                                           x= (2)/2

x=3                                                  x=1

So, the answer is x=3, 1.

Practice problems on quadratic equations:

1)      Solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula: x^2 +10x + 9=0 (Answer: x = -1, -9).

2)      Solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula: x^2+ 5x + 4=0 (Answer: x = -1, -4).

Solve for Real Numbers


Let us study about solve for real numbers. In mathematics real numbers express themselves by containing both rational and irrational numbers in it.

The numbers which can express themselves in ratio as b/c where ‘c’ is not equal to ‘0’ are termed as rational numbers.

The numbers which cannot express themselves in the form of ratio are termed as irrational numbers. Some of the examples are discussed in detail as below.


Solve for real numbers:

Example 1:

John has Rs. 6000 in his account. Then he gave 1/3 of the amount to his friend. Solve this to find how much amount John has in his account currently?

Solution:

Given:

John has Rs. 6000

He gave 1/3 of the amount to his friend

Then the amount given to John friend is calculated as follows:

= Rs. 6000 x 1/3.

= Rs. 2000 x 1

= Rs. 2000 (the amount he gave to his friend)

Therefore to get the remaining amount subtract the amount gave to his friend from the original amount as follows:

= Rs. 6000 – Rs. 2000

= Rs. 4000 (remaining amount that the John have currently and it is also real numbers)


Example 2:

Rama reached 2/5 km in 2 hours and Seema reached 1/3 km in 2 hours. Solve this to find the difference in the distance among them?

Solution:

Given:

Rama reached 2/5 km in 2 hours

Seema reached 1/3 km in 2 hours

Then the differences in the distance among the two are calculated as follows:

= 2/5 – 1/3 (subtract the values)

= (2/5) (3/3) – (1/3) (5/5) (multiply and divide one of them with ‘3’ and the other with ‘5’ in order to get common divisor for both the ratio’s)

= 6/15 – 5/15

= (6-5)/15 (take the number ‘15’ as the common divisor from both the ratio’s)

= 1/15 (it is also real numbers)

Write Fraction as a Decimal


A division of a whole called fraction. Fractions can be creating of minimum two numbers. The numerator specified as top number. The denominator specified as bottom number.

Understanding What is a Fraction? is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

In mathematics, ten as it base called as decimal number system. The numbers using the base-10 numeral system specified as decimal notation. A dot with a decimal number, like to present in 0.287. Here we are going to see about write fraction as a decimal.

Examples problem for write fraction as a decimal:

1. Write fraction as a decimal, given fractions are i) `2/10` and ii) `9/10` .

Solution:

Given fractions, i) `2/10`

`= 2/10`

The 2 divided by 10, we get the decimal value is,

`= 0.2`

The fraction, `2/10` gives the decimal is 0.2 (two tenths).

Given fractions, ii) `9/10`

`= 9/10`

The 9 divided by 10, we get the decimal value is,

`= 0.9`

The fraction, `9/10` gives the decimal is 0.9 (nine tenths).

2. Write fraction as a decimals correct to two decimal places, given fractions are i) 75/20 and ii) 52/36

Solution:

Given fractions, i) `75/20`

`= 75/20`

The 75 divided by 20, we get the correct to two decimal places is,

`= 3.75`

The fraction, `75/20` gives the decimal is 3.75 (three and sevety-five hundredths).

Given fractions, ii) `52/36`

`= 52/36`

The 52 divided by 36, we get the correct to two decimal places is,

`= 1.44`

The fraction, `52/36` gives the decimal is 1.44 (one and forty-four hundredths).

3. Write fraction as a decimals, correct to three decimal places, given fractions are i) `88/48` and ii) `27/8`

Solution:

Given fractions, i) `88/48`

`= 88/48`

The 88 divided by 48, we get the correct to three decimal places is,

`= 1.833`

The fraction, `88/48` gives the decimal is 1.833 (one and eight hundred thirty-three thousandths).

Given fractions, ii) `27/8`

`= 27/8`

The 27 divided by 8, we get the correct to three decimal places is,

`= 3.375`

The fraction, `27/8` gives the decimal is 3.375 (three and three hundred seventy-five thousandths).

I am planning to write more post on Convert a Fraction to a Decimal and how to simplify large fractions. Keep checking my blog.

Finding Lowest Common Multiple



 In arithmetic and number theory, the lowest common multiple or (LCM) least common multiple or smallest common multiple of two rational numbers a and b is the smallest positive rational number that is an integer multiple of both a and b. (The definition may be extended to any two real numbers whose ratio is a rational number.) Since it is a multiple, it can be divided by a and b without a remainder. If either a or b is 0, so that there is no such positive integer, then LCM(ab) is defined to be zero.- Source wikipedia

Understanding LCM Finder is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Examples for finding lowest common multiple:


Example 1:

Find lowest common multiple for the number 24 and 34.
