Technology comes from the Greek root , meaning art or craft.
For the Greeks, a straightedge and compass was technology.
The nice thing about a straightedge and compass construction of any length is that there's always a corresponding algebraic form consisting of natural numbers combined via addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square rooting (of positive numbers). So we get an "exact" answer, at least using radicals.
Compare that to the typical calculating technology we use today where the square roots turn into approximations. The calculator is worse, turning an exact answer into an approximation.
Straightedge and compass constructions play a large role in the development of mathematics but they're not really better, it's just how things went. By restricting ourselves to straightedges (linear equations) and compasses (circles, quadratic equations) we restricted the possible lengths we could construct. Understanding exactly how propelled mathematics forward for a couple of thousand years.
Answer:
The property used is the commutative property.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the commutative property, the sum is the same if you reorder the numbers.
I hope this helped! :-)
Answer:
0.2 coulombs is the answer
Answer: The slope is 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you need to find the difference between the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.
The y coordinates are -4 and 5
The x coordinates are -4 and 2
-4 -5 = - 9
-4 - 2 = -6
-9/-6 = 3/2
Yes this is using the transitive property
Point A leads to point B, B goes to C, so overall A goes to C. Think of it connecting a chain.
Nice job on getting the correct answer.
