difference - the result of one of the important mathematical operations, which is obtained by subtracting two numbers
-65 times the difference between a number and 79 is equal to the number plus 98-65 times the difference between a number and 79 is equal to the number plus 98
The phrase [I]a number[/I] means an arbitrary variable. Let's call it x.
The first expression, [I]the difference between a number and 79[/I] means we subtract 79 from our arbitrary variable of x:
x - 79
Next, -65 times the difference between a number and 79 means we multiply our result above by -65:
-65(x - 79)
The phrase [I]the number[/I] refers to the arbitrary variable x earlier. The number plus 98 means we add 98 to x:
x + 98
Now, let's bring it all together. The phrase [I]is equal to[/I] means an equation. So we set -65(x - 79) equal to x + [B]98:
-65(x - 79) = x + 98[/B] <-- This is our algebraic expression
If the problem asks you to take it a step further and solve for x, then you [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=-65%28x-79%29%3Dx%2B98&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL], and you get:
x = [B]76.31818[/B]
1/2 the difference of x and 41/2 the difference of x and 4
The difference of x and 4:
x - 4
1/2 of the difference means we divide x -4 by 2:
[B](x - 4)/2[/B]

[*]The phrase [I]a number[/I] means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x
[*]The difference of 6 and a number means we subtract x from 6: 6 - x
[*]1/4 of the difference means we divide 6 - x by 4: (6 - x)/4
[*]Finally, the phrase [I]is[/I] means an equation, so we set (6 - x)/4 equal to 200
[/LIST]
[B](6 - x)/4 = 200[/B]

Declare variables:
[LIST]

We're given two equations:

[*]s = f/4
[*]f - s = 30. [I]The reason why we subtract s from f is the father is older[/I]

Using substitution, we substitute equaiton (1) into equation (2) for s:
f - f/4 = 30
To remove the denominator/fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
4f - 4f/4 = 30 *4
4f - f = 120
3f = 120
To solve for f, we divide each side of the equation by 3:
3f/3 = 120/3
Cancel the 3's on the left side and we get:

[/LIST]
Rewrite equation (1) in terms of x by adding y to each side:
[LIST=1]

Find two consecutive positive integers such that the difference of their square is 25Find two consecutive positive integers such that the difference of their square is 25.
Let the first integer be n. This means the next integer is (n + 1).
Square n: n^2
Square the next consecutive integer: (n + 1)^2 = n^2 + 2n + 1
Now, we take the difference of their squares and set it equal to 25:
(n^2 + 2n + 1) - n^2 = 25
Cancelling the n^2, we get:
2n + 1 = 25

Laura found a roll of fencing in her garage. She couldn't decide whether to fence in a square gardenLaura found a roll of fencing in her garage. She couldn't decide whether to fence in a square garden or a round garden with the fencing.
Laura did some calculations and found that a circular garden would give her 1380 more square feet than a square garden. How many feet of fencing were in the roll that Laura found? (Round to the nearest foot.)
Feet of fencing = n
Perimeter of square garden = n
Each side of square = n/4
Square garden's area = (n/4)^2 = n^2/16
Area of circle garden with circumference = n is:
Circumference = pi * d
n = pi * d
Divide body tissues by pi:
d = n/pi
Radius = n/2pi
Area = pi * n/2pi * n/2pi
Area = pin^2/4pi^2
Reduce by canceling pi:
n^2/4pi
n^2/4 * 3.14
n^2/12.56
The problem says that the difference between the square's area and the circle's area is equal to 1380 square feet.
Area of Circle - Area of Square = 1380
n^2/12.56 - n^2/16 = 1380
Common denominator = 200.96
(16n^2 - 12.56n^2)/200.96 = 1380
3.44n^2/200.96 = 1380

n^2 = 80,617.7

The difference between the orders is $0.35 and 1 large cola. Therefore, 1 large cola = $0.35.
And if we use the first order of one large chicken sandwich and one large cola, we get:
Large Chicken Sandwich + 0.35 = 4.35
Subtract 0.35 from each side, and we get:
Large Chicken Sandwich = $[B]4.00[/B]
Suppose that Sn = 3 + 1/3 + 1/9 + ... + 1/3(n-2)Suppose that Sn = 3 + 1/3 + 1/9 + ... + 1/3(n-2)
a) Find S10 and S∞
b) If the common difference in an arithmetic sequence is twice the first term, show that Sn/Sm = n^2/m^2
a) Sum of the geometric sequence is
a = 3 and r = 1/3
(a(1 - r)^n)/(1 - r)
(3(1 - 1/3)^9)/(1 - 1/3)
[B]S10 = 4.499771376[/B]
For infinity, as n goes to infinity, the numerator goes to 1
so we have [B]S∞ = 3(1)/2/3 = 4.5[/B]
b) Sum of an arithmetic sequence formula is below:
n(a1 + an)/2
an = a1 + (n - 1)2a1 since d = 2a1
n(a1 + a1 + (n - 1)2a1)/2
(2a1n + n^2 - 2a1n)/2
n^2/2
For Sm
m(a1 + am)/2
am = a1 + (m - 1)2a1 since d = 2a1
m(a1 + 1 + (m - 1)2a1)/2
(2a1m + m^2 - 2a1m)/2
m^2/2
Sn/Sm = n^2/m^2 (cancel the 2's)
S10/S1 = 10^2/1^2
We know S1 = 3
So we have 100(3)/1
[B]S10 = 300[/B]

The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is 141. Find the numbersThe difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is 141. Find the numbers
Take two consecutive numbers:
n- 1 and n
Given a difference (d) between the squares of two consecutive numbers, the shortcut for this is:
2n - 1 = d
Proof of this:
n^2- (n - 1)^2 = d
n^2 - (n^2 - 2n + 1) = d
n^2 - n^2 + 2n - 1 = d
2n - 1 = d
Given d = 141, we have
2n - 1 = 141
Add 1 to each side:
2n = 142
Divide each side by 2:
2n/2 = 142/2
n = [B]71[/B]
Therefore, n - 1 = [B]70

Calculate the difference in years:
Difference = 1981 - 1945
Difference = 36
Calculate doubling periods:
Doubling periods = Total years / Doubling time
Doubling periods = 36/12
Doubling periods = 3
Population = Initial Population * 2^doubling periods
Population = 11005 * 2^3
Population = 11005 * 8
Population = [B]88,040[/B]

Van needs to enter a formula into a spreadsheet to show the outputs of an arithmetic sequence that sVan needs to enter a formula into a spreadsheet to show the outputs of an arithmetic sequence that starts with 13 and continues to add seven to each output. For now, van needs to know what the 15th output will be. Complete the steps needed to determine the 15th term in sequence.
Given a first term a1 of 13 and a change amount of 7, expand the series
The explicit formula for an [I]arithmetic series[/I] is an = a1 + (n - 1)d
d represents the common difference between each term, an - an - 1
Looking at all the terms, we see the common difference is 7, and we have a1 = 13
Therefore, our explicit formula is an = 13 + 7(n - 1)
If n = 15, then we plug it into our explicit formula above:
an = 13 + 7(n - 1)
a(15) = 15 + 7(15 - 1)
a(15) = 15 + 7 * 14
a(15) = 15 + 98

[LIST=1]
[*]Power increases if the standard deviation is smaller.
[*]If the difference between the means is bigger, the power is bigger.
[*]Sample size increase also increases power

x squared times the difference of x and yx squared times the difference of x and y
x squared means we raise x to the power of 2:
x^2
The difference of x and y
x - y
x squared times the difference of x and y
[B]x^2(x - y)[/B]
You are given a choice of taking the simple interest on $100,000 invested for 5 years at a rate of 2You are given a choice of taking the simple interest on $100,000 invested for 5 years at a rate of 2% or the interest on $100,000 invested for 5 years at an interest rate of 2% compounded daily. Which investment earns the greater amount of interest? Give the difference between the amounts of interest earned by the two investments
[URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/simpint.php?av=&p=100000&int=2&t=5&pl=Simple+Interest']Simple interest balance after 5 years[/URL] at 2% is $110,000.
[URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/compoundint.php?bal=100000&nval=1825&int=2&pl=Daily']Daily compounded interest for 5 years[/URL] at 2% is 365 days per year * 5 years = 1,825 days = [B]$110,516.79
Compound interest earns more by $110,516.79 - $110,000 = $516.79[/B]
z fewer than the difference of 5 and yz fewer than the difference of 5 and y
Take this algebraic expression in parts:
The difference of 5 and y means we subtract y from 5
5 - y
z fewer than this difference means we subtract z from 5 - y
[B]5 - y - z[/B]
