...Part 1 State whether the equation 3x^2 y = 6 is linear or nonlinear and explain your answer. My answer is that the equation is nonlinear because there are 2 different parallel lines that do not intersect with each other, the solution is x = 0 and y = 2/x^2. The Cartesian plane which is a two dimensional coordinate system. A horizontal number line forms the x-axis of the plane, and a vertical number line forms the y-axis. The axes intersect at their 0 points; this coordinate is called the origin. Every point in the plane can be defined by its x and y coordinate. The x-coordinate of a point is the point’s distance in the x direction from the y-axis. Similarly, the y-coordinate of a point is the point’s distance in the y direction from the x-axis. It is customary to use ordered pairs (x, y) to represent the coordinates of a point in the plane. The x-coordinate is the first coordinate, and the y-coordinate is the second coordinate. It is possible to use graphing to solve a system of linear equations. There are three possible situations for the graphs of lines in a system: the graphs are parallel lines, they are the same line, or the lines intersect at a unique point. If the lines are parallel, their graphs have no points in common and there is no solution to the system. Lines with the same slope and same y-intercept are not only parallel but also the same line. The graphs are the same line and the system has an infinite number of solutions. An equation states a balanced relationship...

...One of the most important concepts that we learned in this course is formulating linear equations from everyday life problems that need solutions. With this concept under your belt you will always be able to find solutions in everday life. For example what if you have a new house interior to paint and you need to figure out how much paint you should purchase. Through this course we have attained the ability to determine the exact amount of paint needed to be purchased. What many fail to realize is that math is in our lives daily on multiple occasions. This course provided the comfort of being able to handle this daily math without worries. Out of all the concepts explained inequalities seem to be the least important to everyday life. Although they seem the least important does not mean they are useless. Someone somewhere is using these equations for a significant task. How do you think you will use the information you learned in this course in the future? Which concepts will be most important to you? Which will be least important? Explain your answers. I will continue to use basic mathematical (algebraic) calculations such as expenses versus income in applicable situations, estimation of materials based upon linear measurements and the calculation of expenses based upon the cost factor of those materials as I progress in my personal life. I do see myself for personal reasons, using simple graphs to get ideas or guidance on how my personal venture(s) in life is...

...Week Three Linear Inequality Lynn Branham MAT221 Instructor Charlie Williams May 9, 2013 Introduction On Linear Inequalities Linear equations are special kinds of algebraic expressions that contains two variables. The value of one variable is dependent upon the other. The functions of inequalities are expressed as a line. The complexity of linear equations and linear equalities are sometimes compared concerning the complications of each. Unlike linear equations, linear inequalities incorporate the assessment of where to shade after a solution has been determined. Typically, two equations collaborate to compose a linear inequality. A linear equation will be made up of a combination of constants, a set of numbers and variables. The variables must be to the first power and cannot be squared or cubed. According to Michael Judge, the most common type of linear equation is in the form y = mx + b and describes a straight line (2010). In this case, the two variables are usually x and y and the constants are m and b which are numbers giving the slope and intercept of the line. Operations of Linear Equations Two equations and two variables are needed to find specific values. My variables are: c = # of classic maple rockers m = # modern rockers A classic maple requires 15 board feet of maple, and a total of...

...Linear Functions Unit Plan Part 2 – EDCI 556 – Week 2 Darrell Dunnas Concordia University, Portland Linear Functions Unit Plan Part 2 Mr. Dunnas decides to change the graphing linear equations lesson into a problem-based lesson. This lesson is comprised of three components. Component number one is to write the equation in slope-intercept form (solve for y). Component number two is to find solutions (points) to graph via t-tables and slope-intercept form. Component number three is to graph the equation (connect the points that form a straight line). In mastering this lesson, all components must be addressed. In teaching, all learners how to graph linear equations, one must create a meaningful context for learning. First, the lesson must be aligned to the curriculum framework (Van de Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013). Graphing linear equations is a concept found in the curriculum framework. Second, the lesson must address the needs of all students (Van de Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013). The think-aloud strategy and graphing calculators will be used to graph linear equations and address the learning styles of all learners. Third, activities or tasks must be designed, selected, or adapted for instructional purposes (Van de Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013). Lectures, handouts, videos, and cooperative learning activities will be used in teaching the lesson. Fourth, assessments must be designed to evaluate the lesson...

...Algebra I Suggested Teaching Strategies The curriculum guide is a set of suggested teaching strategies designed to be only a starting point for innovative teaching. The teaching strategies are optional, not mandatory. A teaching strategy in this guide could be a task, activity, or suggested method that is part of an instructional unit. It should not be considered sufficient to teach the competency and the associated objective(s); the teaching strategy could be one small component of the unit. There may not be enough instructional time to utilize every strategy in the curriculum guide. The 2007 Mississippi Mathematics Framework Revised includes the Depthof-Knowledge (DOK) level for each objective. As closely as possible, each strategy addresses the DOK level specified for that objective or a higher level. Suggestions or techniques for increasing the level of thinking may be included in the strategy(ies). In addition, the process strands (problem solving, communication, connections, reasoning and proof, and representation) are included in the strategies. The purpose of the suggested teaching strategies is to assist school districts and teachers in the development of possible methods of organizing the competencies and objectives to be taught. Since the competencies and objectives require multiple assessment methods, some assessment ideas may be included in the strategy.

To keep the traffic moving smoothly, the number of cars entering the intersection per hour must equal the number of cars leaving per hour. 1. Describe the situation. • In this traffic model the pictures illustrates that as cars go out in one direction there is a number of cars coming that are equivalent to the total number of cars going out. The traffic flows through B, C and d will remain a constant, and traffic that flows through the other intersection will change. 2. Create a system of linear equations using a, b, c, d, e, f, and g that models continually flowing traffic. 3. Solve the system of equations. Variables f and g should turn out to be independent. 4. Answer the following questions: a. List acceptable traffic flows for two different values of the independent variables. b. The traffic flow on Maple Street between I5 and I6 must be greater than what value to keep traffic moving? c. If g = 100, what is the maximum value for f? d.

...Application Systems of linear equations are categorized as algebraic equations to where each of the terms is a constant or is the product of the constant and variable. Linear equations regularly appear throughout a lifetime in common situations, because many of measurable quantities are considered proportional within other quantities and have a relation linearly. A simple way of understanding the linear system is to say that it is a collection of linear equations that involve a same set of variables. The simplest form by definition in linear system would be y=mx+b. Each of the letters m and b are the constants in the equation, with m referring to the slope of the equation on the x/y plane and is is the point where the line hits the y-axis. A general form of linear equation is not normally defined to constrain an equation with two variables. An example would be x+z+y+w=3 would be considered a linear equation, but z+x+xy=3 would not due to the xy come in second order. A system of linear equations must be solved at the same time to ensure a point where the two lines will cross the x/y plane graphically. Linear equations are used in our society on a daily basis more often then we believe the complexity would be used. For example, computer programs are developed to be the ultimate equation solvers in times where numbers of configuration become larger that human calculation poses time for. Computer games and software are another great example of how equations can be applied to...
