Learn Online Pythagorean

Pythagorean Theorem is a very important theorem used in Trigonometry.  It gives a relationship between the sides of a right triangle. A Greek philosopher Pythagoras was the founder of Pythagorean Theorem.

Introduction to Pythagorean Theorem:

Pythagorean Theorem describes a relationship between the longest side of the right triangle and the remaining smaller sides.

Statement: In right triangle, the square of longest side (hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of square of the remaining two sides.


Explanation of Pythagorean theorem:


In a right-angled triangle,

Let ‘a’ = adjacent side, ‘b’ = opposite side, ‘c’ = hypotenuse

right triangle

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

(Hypotenuse) 2 = (adjacent side) 2 + (opposite side) 2.


Examples of Pythagorean Theorem :


Ex 1: Find the hypotenuse of the right triangle when the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angled triangle is 4cm and 3cm.

Sol:   The triangle given is a right angled triangle , it obeys pythagorean theorem

Step I:         (adjacent side)2+(opposite side)2= (hypotenuse side)2

Step II:    42 +32 = x2

Step III:    16+9 =x2

Step IV:     25 = x2

Step V:    x = 5

The hypotenuse side of the triangle is 5cm

Ex 2: Find the adjacent side of the right triangle when the hypotenuse and opposite sides of the right angled triangle is 10cm and 6cm.

Sol: 
The given triangle is a right angled triangle , it obeys pythagorean theorem

Step I:    (adjacent side)2+(opposite side)2= (hypotenuse side)2

Step II:    x 2 +62 = 102

Step III:    100-64 =x2

Step IV:    36= x2

Step V:        x=6

The hypotenuse side of the triangle is 6cm

Ex 3: Find the opposite side of the Right Triangles Trigonometry when the hypotenuse and adjacent sides of the right angled triangle is 10cm and 5cm.

Sol:  
The given triangle is a right angled triangle , it obeys pythagorean theorem

Step I:    (adjacent side)2+(opposite side)2= (hypotenuse side)2

Step II:    52+ x 2 = 102

Step III:    100-25 =x2

Step IV:     75= x2

Step V:     x=8.7

The hypotenuse side of the triangle is 8.7cm

These examples are used to learn online pythagorean theorem.

How to Find the Median

INTRODUCTION:

Median is the middle value of a given numbers or allocation of their ascending order. Median is an average value of the two middle elements when the size of the allocation is even.

To locate the Median, place the numbers in ascending order and find the middle number.
If there are two middle numbers then average those two numbers to find median.

Solving Root of a Number

 If any number is expressed as x × x, then x is the product of two same numbers. We know that 5^2 = 5× 5 =25.Here 25 is called the square of 5 and 5 is called the square root of 25. And (2/3)^2 = (2/3)× (2/3) = 2 ×2/3 ×3 = 4/9. 4/9 is called as square of 2/3 and is also called as square root of 4 / 9.

Examples of Solving Root of a Number


1. Simplify 7^2 = 7 ×7 = 49
Here 49 is called the square of 7 and 7 is called the square root of 49

2. (0.4)^2 = (0.4)× (0.4) = 0.16
Here 0.16 is called the square of 0.4 and 0.4 is called the square root of 0.16

3. Simplify 9^2 = 9 ×9 = 81
Here 81 is called the square of 9 and 9 is called the square root of 81

4. Simplify 121^2 = 121 ×121 = 14641
Here 14641 is called the square of 7 and 7 is called the square root of 14641

5. Simplify 81^2 = 81 ×81= 49
Here 6561 is called the square of 81 and 81 is called the square root of 6561

Multi Step Square Root Examples:

(1). Find the square root of 144
Solution:
Split the number into the product of prime factors.
                              144 = 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
                            √144 = √3^2 × 2^2 × 2^2
                                    =3 × 2 × 2
             Therefore √144 = 12

(2). Find the square root of 5^3 × 5^5
Solution:
                         5^3 × 5^5 = (5 × 5 × 5) × (5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5)
                                       =5^2 × 5^2 × 5^2 × 5^2
       Therefore √5^3 × 5^5 = √5^2 × 5^2 × 5^2 × 5^2
                                       = 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
                                      = 625
      Therefore √5^3 × 5^5 = 625

Learn Online Limits

In the mathematical expression the main concept of limit is used to express a value that a sequence or function approaches as the input or key approaches of some value. The limit is typically reduced as lim as in Lim(xn) = x or represent by the right arrow (→) as in an → a. Let us consider this function f(x) = x2. Examine that as x take values very close to 0, the value of f(x) also move towards 0. We say limits  f(x) = 0  x →0

Rules For how to solve limits


Rule1: In learning online limits, given limits function put x=a .If f(a) is a definite value then

limits  f(x) = f(a)
         x →a

Rule2: In learning online limits, If  proving limits  f(x) is a rational function then factorize the numerator and the denominator.Cancel out the  common factors and then put x=a

Rule3: If the given learning online limits function contains a surd then simplify it by using conjugate surd's.After simplification,put x =a

Rule4: If the given  proving learning online  limits  function contains a series which is capable of being expanded then after making proper expansion and simplifying,cancel the common factors in the numerator and denominator,if any Then, put x =a


Limits Examples


1) Evaluate  proving limits lim     (xm -am ) / (xn -an)
                                             x →a

Solution for proving  limits:  lim    (xm -am /xn -an)  =   lim    {xm -am /x-a) ÷ (xn -an /x-a)}
                                                   x →a                                   x →a
Limits =   lim     (xm -am /x -a)   ÷   lim(xn - an /x -a)
                  x →a                                 x →a
Limits =     (ma n-1) ÷ (nan-1)

Limits =   ma m-1 / na n-1   = (m) /(n a m-n)


2) Evaluate proving  limits lim (x+2)3/3 -  (a +2)3/2 / x-a

                                              x→a

Solution proving  limits:   lim (x+2)3/3 - (a +2)3/2 /  x-a
                                            x→a
                        (x +2)3/2 - (a+2)3/2
=      lim     ------------------------------------------
                (x+2)→(a+2)            (x +2) - (a +2)
          ------------------------------------------------------
=   3/2. (a+2)(3/2 -1) =     3/2(a +2)1/2                      [ lim   (xn -an /x -a)   =  nan-1]
                                                                                       x→a

3) Find Limit (x →2) {3x2-5x+7}

Solution:- Given Limit ( x →2)    {3x2-5x+7}

= 3(2)2-5(2)+7   = 12-10+7 = 9


4) Show that Limit (x →3)  (x2+2x-5)  /  (2x2-5x-1) = 5/2

Solution:-Limit (x →3) (x2+2x-5) / (2x2-5x-1)

= Limit (x →3) (x2+2x-5) /  Limit ( x →3)  (2x2-5x-1)

=[ (3)2+2(3)-5)]  / [ 2(3)2-5(3)+1]  =  (9+ 9 - 5) /  (18-15+1)    = 10/ 4 = 5/2.

We can be solved these practice problems on limits  by learning these limits problems.

Fraction Decimal Percent Table

FRACTION DECIMAL PERCENT TABLE

Decimals, Fractions and Percentages are just different ways of showing the same value:


A Half can be written...

As a fraction:       1/2

As a decimal:        0.5

As a percentage:   50%

A Quarter can be written...

As a fraction:       1/4

As a decimal:        0.25

As a percentage:   25%

Example Values

Here is a table of commonly occurring values shown in Percent, Decimal and Fraction form:

Percent       Decimal      Fraction

1%                0.01                      1/100

5%                0.05                       1/20

10%              0.1                1/10

12½%           0.125            1/8

20%               0.2                1/5

25%               0.25                        1/4

331/3%          0.333...        1/3

50%               0.5               1/2

75%            0.75           3 /4

80%            0.8             4/5

90%            0.9           9/10

99%           0.99        99/100

100%          1               1

125%          1.25        5/4

150%            1.5         3/2

200%             2           2

Converting Between Percentage and Decimal

Percentage means "per 100", so 50% means 50 per 100,

or simply 50/100.If we divide 50 by 100 you get 0.5 (a decimal number).

So, to convert from percentage to decimal: divide by 100 (and remove the "%" sign).The easiest way to divide by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Example: Convert 8.5% to decimal

Move the decimal point two places: 8.5 -> 0.85 -> 0.085

Answer 8.5% = 0.085

Converting From Decimal to Percentage

To convert from decimal to percentage, just multiply the decimal by 100, but remember to put the "%" sign so people know it is per 100.The easiest way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

Example: Convert 0.65 to percent

Move the decimal point two places: 0.65 -> 6.5 -> 65.

Answer 0.65 = 65%

To change a Decimal into a Fraction

Take the decimal, drop the decimal point, and place the result into the numerator  of a fraction.

To determine the denominator , write a 1, followed by zeros --- as many zeroes as it takes to match the original length of the decimal.

Examples:

0.75 becomes 75/100

0.034 becomes 34/1000

2.5 becomes 25/10

Roman Numerals Learning

Roman numeral is a symbol, roman numerical learning is used to represent a number. (Our digits 0-9 are often called as Arabic numerals.) In learning of roman numerals are written as the combinations of the seven letters.

Those seven letters are,

I =1             L=50

V = 5           C=100      M=1000

X=10           D=500


Note:

If a lesser numbers follow larger numbers, then numbers are added.

If a lesser number precedes bigger number, then the smaller number is subtracted from the larger.

How to write roman numerals and rules for subtracting letters -roman numerals learning:


Here, how 1100 will be written as Roman Numerals Learning, you would state M for 1000 and then put a C after it used for 100; Otherwise 1,100 = MC in Roman Numerals Number.

Some examples:
  • VIII = 5+3 = 8
  • IX = 10-1 = 9
  • XL = 50-10 = 40
  • XC = 100-10 = 90
  • MCMLXXXIV = 1000 + (1000 -100) + 50 + 30 + (5 - 1) = 1984

Rules for subtract letters- Roman numerals learning:


•   Subtract powers of ten, such as I, X, or C. Writing VL for 45 be not suitable: write XLV as a replacement
•   Subtract only a distinct letter from a single digit. Write VIII for 8, not IIX; 19 is XIX, not IXX.
•   Don't subtract letter from a unlike letter more than ten times larger. This means you can just subtract the I from V or X, and X from L or C, so MIM is against the law.


Let’s found with an addition problem: 13 + 58. In Roman numerals learning, that's XIII + LVIII. We'll begin by writing.
these  two numbers subsequently to each other:Next, we  are rearrange the letters so that the numerals are in descending order: LXVIIIIII. Now we have six be, so we'll rewrite them as VI: LXXVI. The two Vs are the same as an X, so we simplify again and get LXXI, or 71, this is our final answer.

Learn discrete random variables

If the Random variable X assumes only finite or countably infinte set of values it is known as discrete random variable.

Probability density function of Discrete Random variable:-

Suppose X is a Random variable which can take at the most a countable number of values X1, X2, X3, ..................... Xn with each value of  " X ". We associate a number

pi = P ( X = Xi ) ; i = 1,2,..............n

which is known as the probability of Xi and satisfies the following conditions:

pi = P ( X = Xi ) `>=` 0  ( i = 1,2,..............n )    i.e., pi 's are all non- negative and
`sum` pi = p1 + p2 +................... + pn = 1
i.e., the total probability is one.

The function pi = P ( X = Xi ) ; i = 1,2,..............n is called the probability function or more precisely probability mass function of the random variable X


Cumulative distribution function of F(x) of discrete random variable


Cumulative distribution function F( x ) of a discrete random variable X is denoted as F( X = xi ) and defined as               F ( X = xi ) = P ( X = xi )

F ( X = xi ) = P ( X = x1 ) + P ( X = x2 ) + ............................ + P ( X = xi )

F ( X = xi ) =    `sum_(n=1)^i` P ( X = xn )


Example of learn discrete random variables


Let x denote the minimum of two numbers that appear when a two dice is thrown once. find the discrete probability distribution?

Solution:-  The sample space S = { ( 1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6) (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6) }

n ( S ) = 62 = 36

Given that X = min ( a, b )

P( 1 ) = P ( X = 1 ) = { (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,1) (3,1) (4,1) (5,1) (6,1) }

= 11 / 36

P( 2 ) = P ( X = 2 ) = { (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (3,2) (4,2) (5,2) (6,2) }

= 9 / 36

P( 3 ) = P ( X = 3 ) = { (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6) (4,3) (5,3) (6,3) }

= 7 / 36

P( 4 ) = P ( X = 4 ) = { (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (5,4) ( 6,4) }

= 5 / 36

P( 5 ) = P ( X = 5 ) = { (5,5) (5,6) (6,5) }

= 3 / 36

P( 6 ) = P ( X = 6 ) = { (6,6) }

= 1 / 36

X    1    2    3    4    5    6
P ( X = x)    11/36    9/36    7/36    5/36    3/36    1/36

What is variance in statistics

Definition:

Variance in statistics of a random variable is a measure of its statistical dispersion, indicating how far from the expected value its values typically are .It Measures the variability in the data from the mean value.Variance is defined as

 I like to share this Statistics Problem Solver with you all through my article.

This definition of variance in statistics can be used for both discrete and continuous random variables.Variance will never be negative, provided it is defined, because the squares are positive or zero . The unit of variance is the square of the unit of observation . Example: The variance of a set of heights measured in centimeters will be given in square centimeters. This is an inconvenient result, and so the standard deviation is generally used . The standard deviation is the square root of the variance .



The variance of random variable X is typically designated as Var(X), \scriptstyle\sigma_X^2, or simply σ2 (pronounced “sigma squared”). If a distribution does not have an expected value, as is the case for the Cauchy distribution, it does not have a variance either.


The formula is:


The unbiased formula is (for a sample):



with

x = the mean.

N = the population size.

n = the sample size.



Standard Deviation


The standard deviation formula is very simple: it is the square root of the variance in statistics. It is the most commonly used measure of spread.

An important attribute of the standard deviation as a measure of spread is that if the mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution are known, it is possible to compute the percentile rank associated with any given score. In a normal distribution, about 68% of the scores are within one standard deviation of the mean and about 95% of the scores are within two standard deviations of the mean.



Variance and Standard Deviation: Step by Step

  1. Calculate the mean, x.
  2. Write a table that subtracts the mean from each observed value.
  3. Square each of the differences.
  4. Add this column.
  5. Divide by n -1 where n is the number of items in the sample  This is the variance in statistics.
  6. To get the standard deviation we take the square root of the variance.
Example

The owner of the Ches Tahoe restaurant is interested in how much people spend at the restaurant.  He examines 10 randomly selected receipts for parties of four and writes down the following data.

44,   50,   38,   96,   42,   47,   40,   39,   46,   50

He calculated the mean by adding and dividing by 10 to get

x  =  49.2

Below is the table for getting the standard deviation:

xx - 49.2(x - 49.2 )2  
44-5.227.04
500.80.64
3811.2125.44
9646.82190.24
42-7.251.84
47-2.24.84
40-9.284.64
39-10.2104.04
46-3.210.24
500.80.64
Total2600.4

Now

2600.4
------- =  288.7
10 - 1

Hence the variance in statistics is 289 and the standard deviation is the square root of  289 = 17.

Solving Calculus Derivative Problems

Two mathematicians, Namely Gottfried Leibniz and Isaac Newton, developed calculus. Calculus problems can be dividing into two branches: Differential Calculus problems and Integral Calculus problems. Differential calculus is use to measure the rate of change of a given quantity whereas the integral calculus is use to measure the quantity when the rate of change is known.

The output of a function will change when we change the input value of a function.The measure of the change in the function is called as Derivative. The solving of  derivative of a function can be calculated by differentiating the function.Let us see how to solving the derivative problems.


Calculus derivative example problems:


The following solving problems  are based on the  derivatives.

Solving problem 1:

Determine the derivative dy/dx of the inverse of function f defined by

f(x) = (1/8) x - 2

Solution:

The first is used to find the inverse of f and differentiate it. To find the inverse of f we first write it as an equation

y = (1/8) x - 2

Solve for x.

x = 8y + 16.

Change y to x and x to y.

y = 8x + 16.

The above gives the inverse function of f. Let us find the derivative

dy / dx = 8


Solving problem 2:

Determine the critical number(s) of the polynomial function f given by

f(x) = x 4 - 108x + 100

Solution:


The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The first derivative f ' is given by

f '(x) = 4 x 3 - 108

f '(x) is defined for all real numbers. Let us now solve f '(x) = 0

4 x 3 - 108 = 0

Add 108 on both sides,

4x 3– 108 108=108

4x 3= 108

x 3 = 27

x = 3 or x = -3

Since x = 3 and x = -3 are in the domain of f they are both critical numbers.

I like to share this derivative of secx with you all through my article.

Calculus derivative Practice Problems:


1) Determine the derivative dy/dx of the inverse of function f defined by

f(x) = x/2+ 3x/2 - 2

2) Determine the critical number(s) of the polynomial function f given by

f(x) = x 3 - 48x + 10

Answer Key:

1). dy / dx = 2

2).X = 4 or X= -4

Learn online logarithms

LOGARITHMS, usually referred to as logs play a very important role in mathematics.They are very useful in areas like scientific computation and solving algebraic problems. Though they seem very complicated but they are very simple once you understand them.Let us look at the formal definition of logs.Logarithm of a number to a given base is the power to which the base needs to be raised in order to get the numeric result, that is, for any number x, base b and exponent y definition will be as follows:

`"If "x = b^y` , then `y = log_b (x)`

There are two types of logarithms, one is with the base '10' and the other with base as 'e'. Those with base e are known as natural logarithms and are denoted as 'ln' and with base 10 are written as log.Think of any number..........lets say 8,write down the possible ways of writing it.Ones which come to my mind are: 8*1, 10-2, 5+3, 4*2,,,,and so on.One way of writing it in log form is Log2256. We will learn how to compute these logarithms online in a simple way in this section.

Learn Algorithms Online : Laws of logarithms


Different rules or identities or laws of logarithms are as follows:

1) loga(xy)= logax+logay ( This is referred to as product law)

2) loga(x/y)= logax-logay (This is referred to as division law)

3) logaax=x ( since logaa=1)

4) logaxn=nlogax (Power rule)

5) blogbx=x

6) logbx= lobkx/logkb (Change of base formula)


Learn Logarithms Online : Examples


Examples are as follows:

1) log(12)= log(3*4)= log3+log4

2) log(25)=log(50/2)= log50-log2

population variance formula

In the variance of a random variable or distribution is the expectation, or mean, of the deviation squared of that variable from its expected value or mean. Thus the variance is a measure of the amount of variation within the values of that variable, taking account of all possible values and their probabilities or weightings.

Population Variance formula explanation:


The population variance formula for discover the variance for the given population problem

Population Variance formula:

Here, N is the size of the population.

So X-an unbiased estimate of µ. The variance of the population

Where µ is the population mean. n values x1, ..., xn from the population, This is merely a individual case of the universal definition of variance introduced above, but controlled to finite populations.

In many functional situations, the true variance of a population is not known a priori and must be computed someway. When making with countless populations, this is generally impossible.

Most of the time it is not possible to obtain data for the entire population. For example, it is impossible to measure the weight of each male in a particular area to determine the average weight and variance for males of a particular area. In such cases, results for the population have to be estimated using samples.

Population variance formula for Example problems:


Example:


The hourly wages earned by a sample of five students are:

7, 5, 11, 8, 6.

Let a sample consist of n independent readings x1, x2...xn, drawn from a population which is not necessarily Gaussian. We know that the mean µ of our sample is given by

µ  =?X/N

µ = 37/5

µ = 7.40

For this problem the population variance

Formula = ?2 = ?(X-?)2/N

(X- µ)= 7-7.4=.4

(X- µ)= 5-7.4=-2.4

(X- µ)= 11-7.4=3.6

(X- µ)= 8-7.4=0.6

(X- µ)= 6-7.4=-1.4

We take squared on each (X- µ)

=.4 =0.16

=-2.4 =5.76

=3.6=12.96

=0.6=0.36

=-1.4=1.96

?2 = ?(X-?)2/N

?2=21.2/5

Population  variance   ?2=4.21

Solve Converse of Mid-point Theorem Problems

In this article we are going to solve converse of mid-point theorem problems. The straight line which is drawn through the mid point of one side of a triangle is parallel to another side bisects the third side. This is the converse of mid-point theorem. But the mid point theorem states that the line segments joining the mid points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it.

Solve Converse of Mid-point Theorem Problems:

Given: In Triangle ABC, D is the midpoint of AB and DE is drawn parallel to BC.

Solve that PB = PA = ½


Solution for the  converse of mid-point theorem problems:

Given:

ABC of a right angled triangle at B, Here the mid-point of AC is P.

To prove:

PB = PA = `1/2` AC.

Construction:

Through P, draw a line parallel to BC, meeting AB at Q.

Proof:

AQP = ABC (corresponding angles)

AQP = 90 degree.

ABC = 90 degree

Therefore in triangle APQ = Triangle BPQ

PA = PB (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

PA = PB = `1/2` AC

PA = `1/2` AC (given)

Area and Distance Calculator

Area is a number expressing the 2D size of a defined part of a surface, usually a region enclosed by a closed curve. Distance between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) two points are called as distance.

Area of square = `a^2 `

Distance between two points = `sqrt[(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2]`

The area and distance calculator example problems and practice problems are given below.


Example Problems for Area and Distance Calculator:

Solution:

Distance between two points calculator is given below.

Distance calculator

The distance between two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Here, x1 = 4, x2 = 6, y1 = 1, y2 = 5

By using the following formula

Distance formula = `sqrt[(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2]`

= `sqrt[(6 - 4)^2 + (5 - 1)^2]`

= `sqrt[(2)^2 + (4)^2]`

= `sqrt(4 + 16)`

After simplify this, we get

Distance = `sqrt(20) `

Null Set Definition

A set is a collection of well defined objects. What do we mean by well defined objects? What is your favourite subject? Your answer may be math, science or history or geography. If you ask the same question to your friend, then she may say commerce. The answer differs from person to person. It is not well defined. If you ask the following question “Name the days in a week?” to anyone, then the answer will be universally same. It is well defined.

Introduction to Null Set Definition:

Consider the following sets.

The set of vowels in English alphabet = {a, e, i, o, u} --- 1

Set of numbers divisible by 2 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10…} --- 2

The number of elements in a set is called cardinal number of the set. If A = {a, e, i, o, u}, then cardinal number of set A, denoted as n (A) = 5.

If we could write the cardinal number of the set then it is called finite set. Set 1 is a finite set. We could not count the number of elements in set 2. So it is called as infinite set.


Definition of null set:
A null set is a set whose cardinal number is zero. In other words, a null set is a set which has no elements. Null set is also called as empty set or void set. The empty set is denoted by the symbol {} or φ

Problems on Null Set:

Ex :   Let A = {x: 2< x <3, x is a whole number}. Then A is the empty set, because there is no natural number between 2 and 3.

Sol : Let B = {x: x2 – 5 = 0 and x is a natural number}. Then B is an empty set because the equation x2 – 5 = 0 is not satisfied by ant rational value of x.

Let C = {x: x2 = 25, x is even}. Then C is an empty set, because the equation x2 = 25 is not satisfied by any even value of x.

Solve for Y in Function Table

Function tables playing an important role in mathematics. Function is defined as the set of order pairs (x, y).  For example {(1,2) (4,3) }. A common rule is followed in the function that is y = 3x +1 (or)    y = x2. In this article we shall discuss about how to solve the function table with suitable example problems.


Example Problem on Function Table:

Solve for y in the function tale y = 3x +5.

Solution:

From the given function plug the different value of x and get the y value. In general x is input value and y is the output value.

Function Table:

x y = 3x + 5
0y = 3 (0) + 5 = 5
1 y = 3(1) +5 = 8
2 y = 3(2) +5 = 11
-1 y = 3(-1) +5 = 2
-2 y = 3(-2) +5 = -1



Hence the order pair for the above function is (0, 5) (1, 8) (2, 11) (-1, 2)(-2, -1)

Example Problem on Function table:

Solve for y in the function tale y = x + 4.

Solution:

From the given function plug the different value of x and get the y value. In general x is input value and y is the output value.

Function Table:

x y = x + 4
0y = (0) + 4 = 4
1 y = (1) +4 = 5
2 y = (2) +4 = 6
-1 y = (-1) +4 = 3
-2 y = (-2) +4 = 2


Hence the order pair for the above function is (0, 4) (1, 5) (2, 6) (-1, 3)(-2, 2)

Example Problem on Function Table:

Solve for y in the function tale y = x2 + 2.

Solution:

From the given function plug the different value of x and get the y value. In general x is input value and y is the output value.

Function Table:

x y = x2 + 2
0y = (0)2 + 2 = 2
1 y = (1)2 +2 = 3
2 y = (2)2+2 = 6
-1 y = (-1)2 +2 = 3
-2 y = (-2)2 +2 = 6



Hence the order pair for the above function is (0, 2) (1, 3) (2, 6) (-1, 3)(-2, 6)

Example Problem on Function table:

Solve for y in the function tale y = 2x2 + 3.

Solution:


From the given function plug the different value of x and get the y value. In general x is input value and y is the output value.

Function Table:

x y = 2x2 + 3
0y = 2(0)2 + 3 = 3
1 y = 2(1)2 +3 = 5
2 y = 2(2)2+3 = 11
-1 y = 2(-1)2 +3 = 5
-2 y = 2(-2)2 +3 = 11

Hence the order pair for the above function is (0, 3) (1, 5) (2, 11) (-1, 5)(-2, 11)
