    1. Why is math a langugae?
    The definition of a language is:
    A systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds and conventional symbols. Math is systematic, a means of communication, and it uses sounds and conventional symbols. Example 3+4-5=2

    2. Why is math language like dog language?
    Math language and dog languge is similar, because dogs have selective hearing and also in math we use selective hearing.
    Example: There is a dog named Skipper. We tell Skipper, “Skipper, are you ready to go to the park?” All our friend, Skipper, hears is “Skipper”, because that’s his name, “Go”, because go is an action, and “Park” because park is a good place to go, and all the rest of the words he hears are blah, blah,
    blah,blah.

  2. 1) Why is math a language?
    Math is a language because it is a systematic way of communicating by the use of sound or conventional symbols. This is the definition of a language. Which means math is a language because it is all these things.

    2) Why is math language like dog language?
    Math language is like dog language because you only have to know certain words or things about math language to know the language

    1. What is an operation in math?
    In math, an operation is an action or procedure that produces something.

    2. Define addition
    To count things that are the same.

    3.Why can you Not count these 1\4 + 2\5?
    The definition of addition is: to count things that are the same. In order to add, the denominators or the numbers on the bottom must be the same. In this specific case, the denominators are not the same.

    4. Why can you count these 1\5 + 2\5?
    In this case, the denominators (or the numbers on the bottom), are the same so you can add these two fractions together.

    5. List 12 words that mean add:
    1.plus, 2.more, 3.total, 4.greater, 5.bigger, 6.up, 7.positive, 8.ascend, 9.deposit, 10.increase, 11.sum, 12.grow

    An operation is an action or procedure that produces something in math.

    2.Define: Addition
    To count things that are the same.
    Example: 3 pens + 2 pens = 5 pens

    3.List 6 words that mean add
    1. plus, 2. positive, 3. bigger, 4. greater, 5. sum, 6. up,

    4.Addition and Subtraction are inverse operations!
    An inverse means the opposite of.
    Counting from left to right now becomes counting from right to left.

    5. Define: subtraction
    1) A way of finding out how far it is between things (distance)
    2) To take from something that is already there.

    6. List ten words that mean subtraction:
    1.minus, 2.less, 3.negative, 4.descend, 5.take away, 6.down, 7.smaller, 8, withdraw, 9.decrease, 10.difference.

    Why is math a Language?

    Math is a Language because it is very hard to understand and it is difficult to learn, and hard to process it. But once you have learned it then it becomes easyer. Just like other Languages it takes time to learn and years to understand it.

    Why is math Language like dog Language?

    Math Language is like caveman Language, it goes back in time, to the ages, and at first all we hear is Blah Blah Blah, but if we study it and its habbits then it will sound like 2(3x-4y)6a=49 and then we know a different Language!

  6. Graham M. said:

    1.Why is math a language?

    Math is a language because it is a Systematic way to communicate by the use of sounds or conventional symbols. Math uses all of these things therefore it qualifies as a language.

    2.Why is math like dog language?
    Math is like dog language because it has information that isnt really needed to figure out the answer. Example-Kelly has 10 pencils in he backback and her friend Jennifer has 7 pencils in her backpack. How many pencils do they have all together? Answer 17.
    You didnt need to know that the pencils where in Kelly’s or Jennifer’s Backpack.You didnt even need there names. All you needed to know is how many pencils are there in total.

  7. 1. Why is math a language?

    Math is a language because of the use of conventional symbols and sounds, there is a system to math and its a way we communicate.

    2. Why is math language like dog language?

    Math language is a lot like dog language because even though we speak it in the english language only parts of it have any meaning at all, and the same goes for a dog, it can hear us but may not know what we are talking about.

    2)Why is math like a dog language?
    Because all we need to know is certain words or things about math language to know it.

    1.Why is Math a language?

    Math is a language because it fits the definition of a language. Math has symbols and sounds.

    2.Why is Math language like dog language?

    Because,like dog language, in Math language only certain words have meaning. You only need to know a few of them to understand the language.

  11. Michaela . E said:

    math is language because you can communicate with others by using numbers and math sounds and symbols.

    math language is like a dogs because only certain words need to make sense.

    1) Why is Math a language?
    Because it is a systematic means of communication, and it uses sounds or sybols. the same as a regular language.

    2) Define: Addition.
    To count things that are the same.

    3) Why can you not count these? 1/4 + 2/5=
    Because you can not add the denominators together since they are not the same.

    4) Why can you count these? 1/5 + 2/5=
    Because the denomiators are the same, meaning they can be added together.

    5) List 122 words that mean add.
    1. add, 2.plus, 3.more, 4.total, 5.greater, 6.deposit, 7.bigger, 8.grow, 9.up, 10.positive, 11.ascend, 12.increase

    An operation is an action or procedure that produces something.

    2. Define addition.
    To count things that are the same

    3. Why can we not count 1/4 + 2/5?
    To add, we count things that are the same. Because the denominators are not the same, we cannot count 1/4 and 2/5.

    4. Why CAN you count these? 1/5 + 2/5

    In this question the denominators are the same, unlike question #3, therefore they can be counted.

  36. What is the difference between a rational and an irrational number?

    Rational numbers are any number that can be written as a fraction or a repeating or terminating decimal. An irrational number is one that is a non-terminating or non repeating decimal. So, a number cannot be both a rational and an irrational number, because a rational number is a repeating or terminating decimal and an irrational number is a non-terminating, non-repeating (unending)decimal.

  44. the difference between a rational and irrational number is….. rational is predictable and irrational is unpredictable.

  45. 1.) Why is adding and subtracting integers like gains and losses?
    Adding and subtracting integers are like gains and losses, because a gain is the same as addition and a loss is the same thing as subtraction. When you gain something, you are adding something. (Ex. a gain of 400 to a gain of 397.) When there is a loss of something, you are subtracting something. (Ex. a loss of 262 and gain of 254)

  46. the reason why x comes first in the translation 8 less than a number is 24 is because if x is bigger than 8 then it would end up in negative numbers if you put the x second. but if you put the x first it would make perfect sense that x-8=24 which is actually 32-8=24

  47. the reason why x is first in the translation is because 8 is less than a number 24 is because if x is bigger than 8 then it would end up in negative numbers if you put the x second.if you put the x in first then it makes sense that x-8=24 which is actually 32-8=24

  48. Why does it matter whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?

    The reason why x comes first in the translation is because 8 is the lower number therefor it would be negative if you solved the problem 8-x=24, so the correct way to translate the problem would be x-8=24. [x=32]

  49. Section 2.1 Part 2

    What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers?

    A rational number is a number that repeats or stops and is predictable!:D

      Why does it matter whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?

  102. Why does it matter whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?

    Because we don’t know what X is, the X may be bigger than 8 itself, so say that X is 12, you can’t do 8-12 (well, you could but it would be negative) so the x has to go first. Then it would be 12-8 :)

    Why is math a language?

    the definition of math is the systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols. Math is a “system” of “communicating” by either saying the question (sound) or looking and figuring the symbols (conventional symbols)

    Why is math language like dog language?

    Because if you are talking to a dog, all they hear are the words that really matter like: “skipper, park and go?” All the other words just sound like “blah blah blah.” So in math we have to find the words or symbols that really matter.

  112. Why is math a language?
    Math is a language because it uses symbols and sound to comunicate.

    Why is math language like dog language?
    The langauge of math is like that of a dog because only parts of it has meaning while most of it does’nt mean anthying at all.

    An operation is an action procedure which produces something.

    2)Define Addition:
    Addition is to count things that are the same.

    3)Why can’t 1/4+2/5 be added?
    They can’t be added becouse they are not the same things. They are not the same things becouse the bottom number is not the same.

    4)Why can 1/5+2/5 be added?
    These numbers can bee added becouse they are the samething.they are the same thing becouse the bottom numbers are the same.

    3.) Why you can’t count 1/4 + 2/5?
    You can’t count them because, by definition, the denominator is NOT the same! They need to be the same or else you can’t add them.

    4.) Why can you add 1/5 + 2/5?
    Because the denominators are the SAME! Therefore you can add them.

    A) A language has:

    Math has:
    A systematic means of communicating by the use of conventional symbols.
    So that means Math is a language.

    Q) Why is math like a dog language?

    A) Some words have meaning and some words are just Blah Blah Blah.
    For example:
    You ask Skipper the dog:
    “Skipper, do you want to go to the park?”
    and Skipper hears:
    “Skipper blah blah blah blah go blah blah park?”
    He only hears the important words: Skipper (his name) go (the verb) and park (the
    noun). We do the exact same thing in math. We sort out the important stuff from the
    unimportant stuff.

    math is a language because we use conventional symbols and and we communicate with it.
    math language is like a dog language because we only her some of the words said to us

    • Hi Conner

      Funny thing about what we hear and what we listen to. I think a good way to say it is we hear everything and only listen to some of it. Like the dog, it hears everything but only listens for the words that mean something.

      Our year together will be about practicing what to listen for!

  127. Math is a language because it is a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols.

    Math language is like a dog language because only certain words matter to us to answer a question. If a dog hears a phrase, only certain words matter to it, the rest means nothing. In the phrase, “Skipper, today we are going to the park, are you ready to go?”, the only words that matter to Skipper are Skipper, park, and go.

  128. Just like the English language, math uses the systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols.

    In dog language, a dog only hears certain words. It is the same in math language because only certain words are of importance. The rest of the words are not needed to solve the problem.

    Well “less than” means to take away from something. While “is less than” means a smaller number.

    2) Write a sentence that uses the words “at least” meaning “is less than” or “equal to”.

    “I need at the most $25 to go to the basketball game.”

    3) Write a sentence that uses the words “at least” meaning “is greater than” or “equal to”.

    “Mom, I need at least one tire for my new bike.”

  173. An operation is an action or procedure that produces something – a result.

    Addition is to count things that are the same. 4 words – bigger, up, plus, more.

    Addition and subtraction are INVERSE operations. Inverse means the OPPOSITE of.
    RIGHT
    LEFT

    Subtraction is to take away from something that is already there. The distance between things. 4 words – less, down, minus, withdraw, smaller

    Multiplications is to count things more than one at a time. 5 words – of, multiply, by, times, product.

    INVERSE

    18 x 1/2 = 9

    50/2 = 25

    Division is to separate things into equal groups. 6 words – cut, divide, quotient, per, ratio,
    and seperate.

    That’s it!
    Per cent is to divide by 100. Per is to divide, cent is 100.

  174. 1) What is the difference in meaning between “less than” and “is less than”?
    Is less than means the answer is less than, but less than just means any number can be less than.

    2) Write a sentence that uses the words at most meaning is less than or equal to.
    Bob’s father told Bob that he would give him at most $5,000 to spend on his first car.

    Why is math language like dog language? In math, there will be terms that mean nothing, or are not usefull, just like when talking to a dog they only hear specific things.

  183. In the equation 8 less than a number equals 24, the x must come first because if it said 8 less than your age, you would write the equation as your age – 8, not the other way around. Besides, if you make it 8 – x, you’ll get the wrong answer.

  194. What is the diffrence between a Rational Number and a Irrational Number?

    A Rational Number is a number that can have the number after it be predicted correctly. Like for example 0.3 Repeating. We all know that after the 3 will come another 3 forever. Therefore 3 is a Rational number in this case.

    An Irrational Number is a number that cannot have the number after it be predicted correctly. For example Pi is a Irrational Number because it keeps on going with diffrent numbers after the next.

    And I have a question:
    This is the course work for 2.1 Part II and I was wondering if I post the 2.1 Part I answers here the same way.

  196. 1.) What is the difference between a “rational” number and a “irrational” number?
    A. A rational number is a predictable number where a irrational number is unpredictable
    Example: a rational number- _
    .3=.33333333
    Example: a irrational number-
    (pie symbol) 12.283954037453720475382301645597352822265495863042093874542378909857432235478909875423….

    -Bethany E.

  197. 1) Numbers began with counting numbers.
    2) Counting began at the number 1
    3) The counting numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10… that means that numbers never stop
    4) What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers? The difference is that rational means prdictable and irrational means unpredictable.
    5) In math ratio means that you know what the next number is in a decimal or you gan write the number as a fraction of two integers.
    6) 3.333333 what is next? 3
    7) pie= 3.14159 what comes next? We do not know because you can not predict irrational numbers.
    8) Natural numbers- positive counting numbers
    9) Whole numbers- positive counting numbers and zero.
    10) integers- negative/positive counting numbers and zero.
    11) Rational numbers- a number that is able to be written as a fraction, a repeating, or terminating decimal.
    12) To terminate means to stop. So a terminating decimal stops like 4.25.
    13) 4.25 is predictable because the next number after the 5 is 0 4.250.
    14) irrational numbers- all numbers that are non terminating/non repeating decimals.
    15) real numbers- all numbers that are whole, natural, integers, rational, and irrational.
    16) If numbers are not real then that means they must be imaginary.
    17) You will learn about imaginary numbers in algebraII.
    18) Imaginary numbers are not real but they do exist!

  198. 1) The difference between irrational and rational is that rational means predictable and irrational means unpredictable.

  199. 1) What is the difference between a rational and irrational number?
    Rational means predictable compared to irrational which means unpredictable.

  200. 1) What is the difference between an equation and an expression? An equation is a complete sentence and an expression is a command.
    2) Equation: 4 more than 6 is 10 = 4+6=10.
    3) Expression: 4 more than 6 = 4+6.
    4) What is a variable? A variable is something that takes the place of a number in an equation, expression, and inequality.
    5) 4 more than a number is ten. More than means add. A number means variable. Is means =.
    6) 4 more than a number is 10. 4+x=10.
    7) 5 more than a number is 12. 5+x=12.
    8) 8 less than a number is 24. less than means subtract. A number means variable. is means =.
    9) 5 less than a number is 12. x-5=12.
    10) 4 less than 3 times a number is 10. 3x-4=10
    11) Twice a number decreased by twelve is the same as the number increased by eight. 2x-12=x+8.

  201. 1) It matters whether the x is first in a problem like in 8 less than a number is 24, because if you put 8-x the answer would be negative, but if you did x-8 the answer would come out right. 8) :D :/

  202. Q) What’s the difference between a rational and irrational number?

    A) Rational numbers are predictable and irrational numbers are unpredictable.

  203. = ) Rational numbers are predictable and irrational numbers are unpredictable.

  204. = ) Rational numbers are predictable and irrational numbers are not predictable (unpredictable).

  205. 1) Numbers began with counting numbers
    2) counting began at number 1
    3) the counting numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10… means they do not stop
    4) rational numbers are any numbers that are a fraction or is a repeating or a terminal decimal. irrational is any number that is non terminating or non repeating decimal.
    5) in math you know what the next number is in a decimal or you can write it as a fraction of two integers
    6) =3
    7) we cannot know the answer because a irrational number is unpredictable.
    8)natural numbers are all numbers that are positive from 1-100+
    9)whole numbers are 0-100+
    10)integers are -5,-4-,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 and etc
    11)rational numbers are ny numbers that are a fraction or is a repeating or a terminal decimal.
    12) to terminate a decimal means to stop. so a terminating decimal stops.
    13)the next number after the 5 is 0
    14)irrational numbers are numbers that are non terminating or non repeating decimal.
    15) real numbers are all numbers that are whole, natural, integers, rational, and irrational.
    16) if numbers are not real then they must be imaginary.
    17)imaginary numbers are not real but they do exist.

  206. rational numbers are predictable while irrational numbers are unpredictable.

  207. 1) An equation is a complete sentence while an expression is a command.
    2) equation= 4 + 6 = 10, expression= 4 + 6
    3) A variable is something that takes the place of a number in a equation, expression or inequality.
    4) more than means add, a number means variable and is means =
    5) 4 + x = 10
    6) 5 + x = 12
    7) less than means subtract, a number means variable and is means =
    8) X – 8 = 12
    9) 3X – 4 = 10
    10) 2X – 12 = X +8

  208. It matters where you place the X because depending on where you place it, it could end up equaling either a positive or a negative.

  209. A rational number is one that terminates, which means you can predict it. An Irrational number does not terminate, therefore, you can not predict what number will be next.

  210. It matters where the X is in the translation because if it was one way, the answer would be negative, if it was the other way, the answer would be positive.

  211. Math is a language because the definition of a language is a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds and conventional symbols. Math is all that.

    Math language is like dog language because only certain word matter in a sentence.

  212. What is the difference between a rational and irrational number? The difference between a rational and irrational number is that a rational number is predictable and there is always a pattern. And since a Irrational number is ” Any number that is a non terminating, non repeating decimal.” the simple difference is that rational numbers repeat and have pattarns and Irrational numbers do not repeat and have any pattern.

    A.) Because if your age was 13 and your subtracting 8-13 then that would make -5 instead of positive 5 so if you always put your age first then it will come out positive unless its actually suppost to come out negative like 5-8= -3. (age- 5 and number=8)

  219. 2.2
    1) Why does it matter whether the ‘x’ is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?
    A. Because the positioning of the ‘x’ can change the answer to your problem completely, so it’s very important to keep it where it needs to be.

  226. WHAT is THE difference BETWEEN a RATIONAL & irrational NUMBER?!- a RATIONAL number THE next NUMBER in A decimal CAN BE predicted. AN irrational NUMBER the NEXT number IN a decimal CAN not BE predicted.

  227. nick donnelly said:

    Rational means predictable irrational means unpredictable

  228. 1.
    Rational — Any number that can be written as a fraction or any number that can be written as repeating or terminating decimal. Or, predictable.
    Irrational — Any number that is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal. Or, unpredictable.

    2.
    Because if you put the x after the 8, you would get a different answer. Instead of x – 8 = 24, you would get 8 – x = 24, causing you to come up with a totally different number for x.
    (p.s. the number for x in the first equation is 32)

  229. Rational means that you know what the next number is in a decimal or can write the number as a fraction of two integers. It is predictable.
    Irrational means that it is unpredictable.

  230. (2.2)
    If you put the “x” in front of the 8 the number the answer would be different. Instead of being x-8=24 it would be 8-x=24.

  231. Why does it matter if the ‘x’ is in front is first in the translatino of 8 less that a number is 24?:

    First you would write the problem as x-8=24. But if you put the x in a diffrent place you would get a totally diffrent answer. X in the problem equals 32 but if the problem is like this:
    8-x=24 X is 32 so you would get -24=24 and we all know that, that isn’t right.

  232. Hey Mr. D!!
    I was trying to put in the dates that I got all my stuff done this week in the gradebook
    and each time I put in like Sept-13 it puts in all these random numbers and wont give me my grade!

    -Bethany E.

    • hmmm.
      Try putting in the date as 9-13 or spell out September.

      The grade will be what you put in even if the date is not entering the way you want it to.

      Mr. D

  233. The difference between rational and irrational numbers is with a rational number, you can predicate what is coming next,

    7.5_ = 0

    But with an irrational number is the opposite.

    √2
    (answer: http://apod.nasa.gov/htmltest/gifcity/sqrt2.10mil)

  234. “Why does it matter whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?”
    If you were to put it backwards, you would get a completely different answer, and we all know that the is not good in math at all.
    lets say x is 80.
    5 less than a number is 75
    the right way:
    x – 5 = 75 (80 – 5 = 75)
    the wrong way:
    5 – x = 75 (5 – 80 = 75!?!)
    Thus putting the number (x) in the right place is important.

  235. What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers? Well a simple explanation would be, rational is predictable and irrational is not so its unpredictable!

  236. Putting the (x) first is very important because if you put it in any other place you would get another assure. Example: the normal way.- x-5=25 – x= 30 so 30-5=25
    And if you do it another way. Example: the wrong way: 5-x=25 so it would be 5-30=25!(-25?)

  237. Why does it matter whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24?

    If “x” isn’t put in the right position, you’d simply get the wrong answer.

  239. Why is adding integers like gains and losses?
    Because when you consider adding integers on the number line, you move into positive (gains) and negative (losses)

  240. Why is adding integers like gains and losses?

    Adding integers is like gains and losses because if you add negatives plus negitive you get a negitive and you keep on losing (or going down). But If you add positives plus positive you get positive and you keep on gaining (or going up).

  241. Because integers on a number line can be thought of as positive (gains) AND negatives (losses)

  242. 1) Adding integers is like gain and loss because when you add 2 positive numbers you gain, when you add a positive and a negative number you have a loss.

  243. 1.) Why is adding integers like gains and losses?
    A. Because when you add a positive and negative you have a loss because you subtract and when you add a negative and a negative you gain because you add and when you have a positive and a positive you gain because you add also. And integer numbers are negative and positive counting numbers plus zero where you can’t do that with whole or natural numbers because you don’t have negatives.

    -Bethany E.

  244. Putting the “x” first in the equation is very important because if you don’t you will come out with a different answer. For example, you wouldn’t do 8 minus your age, you would do your age minus 8.

  245. Hey Mr. D :)
    I was checking my work for section 2.4 part 1 and I think I found a mistake with number 10. The question is-
    -3+5+-5
    So here is how I worked it out
    3-5=2 (give it the sign of the bigger absolute value)
    2+-5
    5-2
    -3 (give it the sign of the bigger absolute valute)
    So I got -3 and you put down +5
    I’m not sure if I maybe did something wrong though..

    -Bethany E.

  246. Why is adding integers like gains and losses?
    Because integers can have equations such as 5 + 3 (which is a gain of three) and 5 + -3 (which is a loss of three). Natural and whole numbers can’t lose while adding while integers can.

    14.) -7x-1x8x-1x-1
    I counted 4 negative signs so that would be positive you said.
    But you put that it was negative.
    I might be wrong though.

  261. Adding integers are like gains and losses because when you subtract, you lose some so it becomes negative. When you add, it’s like gaining something. +7 or 7.

  262. Why is adding integers like gains and losses?

    It is like that because if you add positives it gives you a positive so you have a gain.
    When you subtract negatives it gives you a negative so you have a loss.

    Adding and subtracting positives and negatives in the same problem is another matter altogether.

  263. Why is adding integers

  291. the difference between Rational and Irrational Numbers is:
    Rational is predictable
    Irrational is unpredictable

  292. What is the difference between an equation and an expression?An equation is a complete sentence while an expression is a command
    Equation: Four more than six is ten4 + 6 = 10
    Expression: Four more than six 4 + 6
    What is a variable?
    A variable is something that takes the place of a number in an equation, expression or inequality!
    Translate: 4 more than a number is10
    more than means add
    a number means variable
    is means =
    4 more than a number is 104 + x = 10
    5 more than a number is 12 5+x =12
    Translate:
    8 less than a number is 24
    less than means subtract a number means variable
    is means =
    Translate:
    5 less than a number is 12
    X -5 =12
    Translate:
    4 less than 3 times a number is 10
    3x -4 = 10
    Translate:
    Twice a number decreased by 12 is the
    same as the number increased by 8.2x –12 = x + 8

  293. it matters whether the “x” is first in the translation of 8 less than a number is 24 because 8 less than a number means that 24 is 8 more than the variable, not the 8-x.

  294. Integers –
    The negative and positive counting numbers and Zero

    A positive number
    What is Absolute Value?
    The distance of any number from 0 Absolute is shown by using these symbols in math | |

  295. adding integers is like gains and losses because adding a – is like lossing some thing and adding a + is like gaining something.

  296. A polynomial sometimes can be a binomial because a binomial has 2 monomials, a polynomial has more than 1. More than one means it could be 2 or anything higher.

  297. What is a term in Algebra?Anything that is separated by a + or –sign.
    Names for terms Monomial –One term example: 4x Binomial –Two terms example: 2x + 3y Trinomial –Three terms example: 4×2+ 2x -3Polynomial –Something with terms
    What are like terms in Algebra? When the variable and exponent of the variable are the same.
    Like terms in Algebra can be added because you are counting the same thing: 3x + 5x = 8x

  298. What does distribute mean? To give to several things equally.
    The distributive property is one of the most important properties in Algebra. We have already been using it!
    24 * 7
    =7(20 + 4)
    =7 * 20 + 7 * 4
    =140 + 28
    =168
    Look at
    -(x -3)
    This means the opposite of
    or distribute the negative

  299. If a binomial is a polynomial, then is a polynomial abinomial. Sometimes only when it is four but if it is less or more then it is not a binomial.

  300. 1.) If a binomial is a polynomial, then is a polynomial a binomial?
    A.) Sometimes.
    Because sometimes a polynomial is a binomial, and other times it isn’t. It just depends.

  301. Section 2.7 Like Terms
    1.What is a term in Algebra? Anything that is separated by a + or – sign.
    2.Names for terms-
    Monomial- One Term
    Binomial- Two Terms
    Trinomial- Three Terms
    Polynomial- Something with terms
    3.Monomials, Binomials and Trinomials are Polynomials too. They just have their own special cool names!
    4.What are like terms in Algebra? When the variable and exponent of the variable are the same!
    5.Like terms in Algebra can be added because you are counting the same thing. 3x+5x=8x
    6.2x+x=3x- Why? Because you have two x’s plus one x. You have like terms and you can add two x’s plus one x and get three x’s.
    7.2x+y=2x+y- Why? They are not like terms. You don’t have an x and a x. You have a x and a y. You can’t add them together so it’s literally 2x+y.

    -Bethany E.

  302. 2 not four woops.

  303. If a binomial is a polynomial, then is a polynomial a binomial?
    Answer:
    Sometimes

    This is because a polynomial is something with terms, and a binomial is two terms. So, a binomial is a polynomial, because it has terms, and a polynomial is sometimes a binomial, because a polynomial can be two terms but it could also be three terms, four terms, five terms, etc.

  304. 1) anything that is seperated by a + or – sign.
    2) monomial = 1 term, binomial = 2 terms, trinomial= 3 terms, polynomial = something with terms.
    3)when the variable and the exponent of the variable are the same.
    4)like terms can be added because you are counting the same thing.
    5)2x + x = 3x because X is the same.
    6)2x + y = 2x + y because X and Y are not alike.
    7)a + b = a + b because A and B are not alike.
    8)4×2+ 5×2= 9×2 because 4×2 and 5×2 are the same.
    9) 2xy2–8xy2+ 4xy2= -2xy2 because 2xy2–8xy2+ 4xy2 are all the same.
    10) 3a3b –4ab3= 3a3b –4ab3 because they are not alike.

  305. Sometimes

    The reason why is because a monomial is always a polynomial but a polynomial can be 1 or more terms.

  306. 1) distribute means to give to several things equally.
    2) the distributive property is one of the most important in algebra
    3) 24 * 7 = 20 + 4 * 7
    4)This means the _opposite______ of
    or distribute the negative

  307. We simplify expressions and solve equations!
    An equation will have an = sign.
    There will be a form of the word is in the problem if it has been written in the English language waiting for translation to Math language.

    In this chapter you will be working with linear equations. A linear equation is an equation of a line. You will be graphing lines later in this text series.
    A linear equation has 2 things happening:1) There is an = sign. That is the equation piece.
    2) The variable will be a 1stpower variable. That is what creates a line.

    To solve equations both
    linear and non-linear here is the rule. UNDO WHAT IS
    BEING DONE TO THE VARIABLE.

    To undo what is being
    done to the variable you will do the order of operations backwards.

    That means undo
    addition and subtraction first then undo multiplication and division.

    To undo an operation, you use inverse operations.

    To undo addition, you use subtraction.

    Why is getting a zero important?Adding 0 to anything gives you what you already have.

    By the way to keep things equal when there is an equal sign, what ever you do one side of an equation you must do the same thing to the other side of the equation

    x + 8 = 12What is happening to the variable?It is being added by 8.

    Everything is adding, Everything is adding, so this is read 12 + -8

    x + -8 = 12What is happening to the variable?It is being added by -8

    What is the price the store paid for the DVD?
    What are the math words and numbers?
    18-8=10
    The store paid $10 for the DVD

  308. Sometimes. A binomial is always a polynomial. A polynomial is sometimes binomial because a polynomial can have more than two terms.

    A = bhor bh= A

    • Hi Kelly,

      you are doing awesome on all of your answers :-)

      Perfect way to set up the parallelogram problem. Now, to solve it: the parallelogram has an area of 60 and height of 15.
      A = bh
      60=b x 15 (divide both sides by 15 – opposite operation of multiplication)
      b = 4
      My base is 4.

      Again, Great Job!

      The new test will tell you which section to look in if you need to look back to see how to do the test question.

    • Hi Jilian,

      you are correct. The variable is being multiplied by -2, and it is also added by 8.
      And yes, we do order of operations backwards to undo what is being done to the variable.

      Good job

      Mr. D

  343. NUMBER DOING DIVIDING 12
    TEST Has to be divisible by 3 and 4
    EXAMPLE 144 is divisible by 12.

    • Hi Charles,

      good job. A number is divisible by 12, if its last two digits are divisible by 4 and the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

      Mr. D

  344. In the equation -2x+8=-14, the variable is being multiplied by -2 and added by 8.
    When solving an equation, you undo what is being done to the variable. That means that you use the inverse (opposite) operation. So that means to undo what is being done to the variable, you do the order of operations backwards.

  345. Part I
    In the equation -2x + 8 = -14, what is happening to the variable?Part IIWhy do you do the order of operations backward when solving an equation?

    The x is being mutiplided by -2 and added by 8

    Part II
    Why do you do the order of operations backward when solving an equation?

    So that we undo what is being done to the varibal (did you say that so we could get the number or varibal we started with?)

    I hope I said it right! see ya wensday!

    Section 4.1-
    Number doing dividing- 50
    Test- Last 2 digits must be 50 or 00
    Example- 200, 350, 5,250, and 3,000 all end in 00 or 50 so 50 can go into them all evenly.

  354. Section 4.1
    NUMBER DOING DIVIDING- 30
    TEST- The number must be divisible by 10 and the sum of the numbers digits must be divisible by 3.
    EXAMPLE- 120 = 1+2+0 = 3, which is divisible by 3 and 120 is divisible by 10. Therefore, 120 is divisible by 30, along with 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300..etc.

    Tests for divisibility

    Number doing dividing- 2350
    Test- The last two digits must end in 00, 25, 50, or 75. It’s easy, just think of money!
    Example- 650, 375 and 3000 all end in either 00, 25, 50 or 75.

    • Hi Marissa,

      This part is to make a a divisibility rule.

      Here is an example. for 15 since 15 = 3 * 5, then the rule for 15 is combining the rule for 5 and 3.

      for 15 – if the number ends in a 5 or 0 and can be divided by 3 then it can be divided by 15.

      your turn!

      Mr. D

  357. Number doing dividing 150
    test- the number must end in 25,50, or 75 so the answer can be either of these numbers.
    example is 1000, can be divided by all the numbers above.

      Mr. D

  359. 1)The number I am doing is 16.
    The rule is that it has to be divisible by 2 and 8.
    Example 192 is divisible by 2 and 8 so 192 is divisible by 16.

  360. The number I am doing is 24. For a number to be divisible by 24, the last three digits of the number must be a number divisible by 8, and they must add up to a number divisible by 3.
    Example: 2400: 2+4+0+0=6 which is a number divisible by 3, and the last three digits 400 are a number divisible by 8 (400/8=50).

  361. Michael Stauffer said:

    THE NUMBER I AM DOING IS 164!
    TEST
    IF THE LAST 2 DIGITS OF THE NUMBER CAN BE DIVIDED BY 4 THEN THE NUMBER CAN BE DIVIDED BY 4 ALSO.
    EXAMPLE
    164 CAN BE DIVIDED BY 4 BECAUSE THE LAST 2 DIGITS CAN BE DIVIDED BY 4, SO 4 GOES INTO 164!

    1.
    The number doing dividing: 36

    Test: Must be divisible by 4 (last two numbers must be divisible by 4) and 9 (sum of number must be divisible by 9)

    Example: 144. 44 is divisible by four, and the sum (9) is divisible by 9, so 144 is divisible by 36. (It’s 36 x 4, by the way.)

  363. number i am doing: 54

    test:
    for the number to be divisble by 54 the sum of the digits must be divisible by 9 or 3 and 2 (last digit must be even).

    example:
    108. the sum of the digits are divisible by 9 and it is even

  364. For a number to be divisible by 30, it must end in 0 and the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3.

  365. Number 81
    the three numbers added together have to be dividable by 3?

    Part 1~ In the equation -2x+8=-14, what is happening to the variable is doing what is being done to the order of operation backwards.

    Part 2~ The order of operations is backward when solving an equation because the order will be done in a normal order when divinding 8 by 24.

  368. Hi Mr. D. Here are two questions from course work part 1. Q. In the equation -2x + 8 = -14, what is happening to the variable? A. The variable is being multiplied by 2 and added by 8. 2. Q. Why do you do the order of operations backward when solving an equation? To undo what is being done to the variable.

    If a binomial is a polynomial, then is a polynomial a binomial.
    It is because a Binomial has two terms so a polynomial has at least 2 terms. Poly means many.

    Jesse D
    Why is math a language?
    Math is a language because it has defintions of words. Also, it uses numbers instead of words and many people can not interpret the numbers. In math some people can’t understand the numbers just like other people can’t interpret other languages.

    Why is Math language like dog language?
    Math language is like dog langauge because in math word probelms you half to listen for special words to know what to do just like how the dog listens for skipper,park, and go.

    • Hi Jesse,
      Welcome to the Algebra I. So great to see you off and running!

      Great answers! The beginning of the course will be fun for you as you have the opportunity to think from the world of Math as Language!

      Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts!

      Mr. D
