Whenever you have a constant rate change, this gives a linear relationship. Essentially, this is a relationship where one variable changes at a constant rate in relation to the other. A linear relationship will always produce a straight line when graphed. Since it has two variables, it has two dimensions which are represented by the …
Decimal numbers are numbers with a point placed in them to separate some of their digits. For example, the decimal number 98.04 has a point between 8 and 0. Decimals are just a different way of expressing fractions. For example, you can express 1/4 as 0.25. This is done by dividing your fraction completely so that you …
A wide base and a pointed top, pyramids are three-dimensional shapes that feature a flat base and three or more triangular faces. The faces meet at a point (the top of the pyramid) forming the apex (the pointy top). The faces may be the same size or different sizes. The wide base of the pyramid …
A queue is an abstract data structure with a linear form that shows the order in which operations should be done. It is frequently used in computer science or programming to model real-life queue situations. A queue has certain special operations that can be performed on it. Enqueue: Store or introduce a new item to …
Liters, cubic feet, gallons are just a few units of volume that we encounter every day. Volume is probably one of the most common and important measurements we use in our daily lives. It is a measurement of the space occupied by an object or substance such as gases or liquids. It can also be …
A rate is a way of comparing two things. It’s a ratio that relates two rates so that you can know how much of one goes with the other. Rates are commonly used in many situations such as in a grocery or when exchanging currency. Unit rates, also called single-unit rates, are a special type …
We rely on machines and devices to carry out various tasks in our day-to-day lives. These machines and devices feature electronic circuits that enable them to carry out the tasks they are designed to. Combination logic circuits are just one type of circuit that is featured in many devices and machines that we use daily. …
If you have ever dealt with triangles, then you have dealt with trigonometry. This is an area of math that studies the triangle including the angles and length relationships that define it. From plotting stars to voyaging the seas, trigonometry is all around us. The Right-angled triangle Applications in trigonometry are done with right-angled triangles. …
Triangles, squares, and circles are some of the basic shapes we encounter in our day-to-day images. They have length and width and completely enclose a space. They are referred to as two-dimensional (2D) shapes because they only have two dimensions (measurable features) i.e. length and width. Three-dimensional shapes are those that have three measurable features …
An algorithm refers to a sequence of steps taken in order to complete a given task or solve a problem. It gives detailed guidelines with precise step-by-step instructions. They involve a process of computation with an initial step (often called an input) and end with a desired given result. For example, a computer program is …
