Practice Test for Basic Math


Introduction to mathematics:

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points exist naturally or are human creations. (Source: Wikipedia)

Example problems of practice test for basic math

Basic math test example problem 1:

Basic math test example problem 3:

The sum of the two numbers is 23. Smaller number is three less than that of larger number. Find out the two number values.

Solution:

Let us consider,

x is the larger number and y is the smaller number

Given, sum of the two numbers is 23

x + y = 23 ------- (1)

Smaller number is three less than larger number, we get

y = x - 3 --------- (2)

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1, we get

2x - 3 = 23

After simplifying, we get

x = 13

Substitute the value of x in equation 2, we get

y = 10

Finally, that two numbers are x = 13, y = 10

Basic Algebra Calculations


Introduction to basic algebra calculations:

Basic algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations, and the constructions and concepts arising from them, including terms, polynomials, equations and algebraic structures. The part of basic algebra calculations called elementary algebra calculations is often part of the curriculum in secondary education and introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. The variables are manipulated using the rules of operations that apply to numbers, such as addition. (Source: Wikipedia).

Examples for basic algebra calculations:

Example 1 for basic algebra calculations:

Find the value for x in (x+2) +(x-22) +(x+45) =0.

Solution:

The given expression is(x+2) +(x-22) +(x+45) =0.

In this above expression first add the constants separately and then add the variable x.

(x+2) +(x-22) +(x+45) = (x+ x+ x) + (2-22+45)

(x+ x+ x) + (2-22+45) =3x+25

3x+ 25=0

3x =-25

x=-25/3

The value for x in (x+2) +(x-22) +(x+45) =0 is -25/3.

Example 2 for basic algebra calculations:

Find the value for the quadratic equation x ^2+6x +8=0.

Solution:

The given quadratic equation is x ^2+6x +8=0.

We have to find the roots for the above quadratic equation.

This can be solved by the factoring by middle term.

A=co-efficient 0f x ^2=1

B= co- efficient of x=6

C= constant=8

We split the 6 as (2+4), and then only we get 2 x4 =8.

x ^2+6x +8= x ^2+2x+4x +8

Take x as common in first two terms and 4 as common in next two terms.

x ^2+6x +8= x(x+2)+4(x+2)

x ^2+6x +8= (x+4) (x+2)

(x+4) (x+2) =0

x+4 =0 and x+2 =0

In the equation x+4 =0, subtract 4 on both sides.

x+4 =0

x+4-4 =0-4

x=-4

In the equation x+2 =0, subtract 2 on both sides.

x+2 =0

x+2-2 =0-2

x=-2

The roots for the equation x ^2+6x +8=0 is x=-2,-4.

Basic Proportionality Theorem


Introduction of basic proportionality theorem:
The Basic proportionality theorem is the theorem associated to triangle's property. This theorem says that if a line intersects two sides of one triangle and is parallel to the third side, then it divides the first two sides proportionally. That’s the Basic Proportionality Theorem shows the relation between the triangle and a straight line which bisects the two sides and parallel to another side.

Explanatory of basic proportionality theorem:

If a line is drawn parallel to the triangle, thus the line intersect two sides of the triangle parallel to the other (third) side in distinct points, then it cuts(divide) the two sides proportionally in the same ratio. This is known as proportionality theorem. It is otherwise called as Thales theorem.

Now we are going to prove the theorem and illustrative the statements

Given: A triangle LMN, S and T are any other two points on PQ and PR respectively such that ST parallel to QR.

To prove:

LS / SM = PT / TN

Construction:

Join MT and NS. From TU perpendicular to LM.

Proof:

In triangle LMN

ST is parallel to MN

And

If LS/MS = k (Where k is constant)

Thus LT / NT is also equal to k

Or we can say

LS / MS = LT / NT

We are given LMN,

ST is parallel to MN.

Understanding sum of the squares formula is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Basic proportionality theorem:


Proportionality Theorem says that, A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides into parts of equal proportion.

DATA:

In triangle ABC, a line PQ drawn parallel to BC cuts AB and AC at P and Q respectively.

To prove:

AP/ PB = AQ /QC

Construction:

Let the point P divide AB in the ratio of l: m where l and m are natural numbers. Divide AP into 'l' and PB into 'm' equal parts. Through all these points on AB, draw lines parallel to BC to cut AC.

Proof:

Statement                                                                           Reason

1. AP is cut in l equal parts and lines are drawn through                    Construction

these points parallel to BC.

2. Therefore, AQ is cut l equal parts.                                                        Intercept  theorem

3. Similarly,                                                                                                    Statement 1

QC is cut in m equal parts.

4. AP / PB = 1 /m                                                                                          Construction

5. AQ / QC = 1/ m                                                                                         Statement 2 and 3

6. Therefore AP / PB = AQ / QC                                                                 Statement 4 and 5.

Simplify Monomials


An algebraic expression consisting of only one term is called a monomial. It can be a product/quotient of variable and numerals or only variables or even constant terms.

Some of the examples are 3x^2, -p/2, 4xy, 63, -7z etc. Operations addition and subtraction cannot be used to represent a mono form as they are used when there are more than one term in an algebraic expression also monomials cannot have negative exponents. For instance 5-y, 7x+3, ab-3 are not mono forms.

The sum of the exponents of all the variables would be the degree of the same.
The degree of such a constant term is zero. To simplify monomials we would be using law of exponents, multiplication of mono forms and division of mono forms accordingly wherever required.

The order of operations is also followed while solving
The combination of these expressions which are given inside the parenthesis have to be simplified first.
If we have a power of an exponential algebraic expression then law of exponents is used. For example, given an expression (3a2b3)2 can be simplified by using the law of multiplying the exponents [(am)n=amn] giving 3a4b6

Multiplication of Monomials:

To multiply the given expression the exponents of the like terms are to be added using the law of exponents, am.an=am+n
Example: Given an expression 3x2y4. 4xy3 then we simplify applying the law of exponents am.an=am+n, we get 3.4 x2+1y4+3= 12x3y7
Example: -3(m2n).(-4mn3)
Coefficients are multiplied first and then the variable part
(-3.-4)(m2.m1)(n1.n3)=(12)(m2+1)(n1+3)= 12m3n4

Dividing monomials:

While dividing exponential expressions, the exponents of like terms are subtracted
Example: 9x3y4/3x2y this expression can be simplified applying the law of exponents am/an=am-n
We get, 3x3-2y4-1= 3xy3

Let us now learn the steps involved in solving monomials with the help of few examples as given below,
Example: -18a^3b^2c^5/3ab^2c
Here first the numeral part is simplified, -18/3= -6
Each of the like terms are simplified using the law of exponents,
a^3/a= a^3-1= a^2
b^2/b^2 = b^2-2=b0=1
c^5/c= c^5-1=c^4
Writing all the terms together we get, -6a^2c^4 which is the simplified form

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Polynomial Formula, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Example: Simplify (3p^2q3/3p) . (9p^2q^2/q^5)
First step would be to multiply the numerators and add the exponents of like terms
Numerator= (3.9)(p^2+2.q3+2) = 27p4q5
Then multiply the denominators and add the exponents of like terms if any
Denominator= (3.1)(p1q^5)  [when the exponent is not given it is considered as 1]
Now divide the coefficients of the expression if possible
27/3 = 9
Next step would be to subtract the exponents of like terms
P4-1q5-5=p3.q0=p3.1=p3
The final answer is (3p^2q^3/3p).(9p^2q^2/q^5)= 9p^3

How To Do Basic Long Division


INTRODUCTION FOR HOW TO DO BASIC LONG DIVISION:

Division is the arithmetical operation for finding how many times a number is in another number. This is a one kind of operations in basic arithmetic. Division is nothing but the repeated reduction.

For example: 24 ÷ 12 = 2. Here 24 is the dividend, 12 is the divisor, and 2 is the quotient.  Here we are going to see how we are going to divide a number using long division method.

The two definitions :

the number that is to be divided into is called as the dividend
The number which divides the dividend is called as the divisor


The steps followed to do long division are:

Division , Multiplication, Subtraction, and bring down.

I like to share this Decimals Division with you all through my article.

Example problem to show how to do basic long division:


Ex 1: Solve 3264 ÷ 2.

2)3265(1632
2
12
12
6
6
5
4
1
Steps to show how to do basic long division.

Step – 1: In the given problem the dividend is 3264 and the divisor is 2

Step – 2: Now we are going to divide 2364 by 2, we take the first number of the divisor. Since 3 is less than 2 we can stop with 3

Step – 3: The divisor 2 is multiplied with the quotient 1 and gives the result or 2, so when we subtract 3 with 2 we get the remainder of 1.

Step – 4: The remainder we have is 1; one will not go with 2 so we bring down 2.

Step – 5: Now 2 is multiplied with 6 to get 12. When 12 subtracted with 12 we get 0 so we bring 6 down.

Step – 6: When 2 multiplied with 3 we will get 6 so when 6 subtracted with 6 we will get 0. Now we bring 5 down

Step – 7: When two multiplied with two we will get four. And the remainder is one.

Step – 8: we cannot proceed further. So we stop with this. The remainder is 1 and the quotient is 1632. This is how we do basic long division.

Understanding Log Calculator is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Cross Multiplying in Math


Introduction to cross multiplying in math:

Normal multiplying:

In math,The basic operation of multiplying is addition.

For example: 5 × 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15

By multiplying the whole numbers we can also multiply fractions as well.

For example 5 × 3½ = 5 + 5 + 5 + (half of 5) = 17.5

Cross multiplying:

In math,The cross multiplying is defined as the following form

a/b= c/d

by cross multiplying , we get

a*d= b*c

ad= bc.

Generally the cross multiplying is in the fraction form.


Example problems for cross multiplying in math


There are some rules which very useful for cross multiplying :

1)

The denominator of the fraction should be equal to zero but both the there may be chance for both fractions can equal to zero. This is one of the such easiest way to reduce the fraction in cross multiplying for both the fractions values.

Example:

3/2 = 4/a

Rule 3 represents as

a = (4*2) / 3 ( by fractions cross multiplying we get)

a = 8/3

Cross multiplying working process:

The cross multiplying is mainly used in the process of comparing the two set of equations. Let we see some sample problems for cross multiplying in math.

The first car A has travelled to Q distance at P speed

And the second card B has travelled  to R distance at S speed

We can make the proportions as like

P/Q=R/S

Now we need to solve the distance value for B

So,                                                 S= (Q*R)/P

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Antiderivative Calculator, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Practice problems for cross multiplying:


Example 1:

2/a-3/b find the solution by using cross multiplication

Solution:

Given: 2/a – 3/b

2b/ab+ 3a/ba               ( by cross multiplying, , we get)
= (2b-3a)/ab

Answer  to the given problem is = (2b-3a)/ab

Example 2:

5/6 + 6/5

Solution:

Given : 5/6 + 6/5

=5*5/6*5 + 6*6/ 6*5 ( by cross multiplying , we get)

=25/30+36/30

=61/30.
