Problem Set Presentations prepare Your Presentation To Inc ✓ Solved

Prepare your presentation to include in ONE DOCUMENT for the work on BOTH PARTS of the problem set. You will work the ONE problem in EACH PART in each set that corresponds to your Assigned Number. To post your presentation, within the appropriate Problem Set Discussion, click on Start a New Thread and then title your response starting with your assigned number. Write your problem number first as a two-digit number (01, 02, 03, etc.), then your name. Do not put any symbol or character before your problem number.

We want the problems to list in numerical order. For each problem, make your presentation as though you were TEACHING YOUR CLASSMATES HOW TO WORK THIS PROBLEM. Include the following steps in your presentation:

  • State the entire problem.

  • Include any formulas that are used in the work, first with the formula and then with the given values substituted into the proper places.

  • Show the process you used and the results of your calculations. Each answer must have all the steps that you used to arrive at that answer. Calculator results are acceptable for calculation.

  • Carry full calculator results throughout the steps. Only round the final answer. If you enter the calculations into the formula as a continuous series of calculations, giving the final result is all that is needed. However, show the keystrokes for entering the calculations as a continuous series.

  • Include brief explanatory comments or descriptive words to guide your classmates through your work.

  • Write a concluding statement that answers the questions of the problem.

  • Place all problem parts (Part 1 and Part 2) in the same response and label them clearly.

  • After receiving feedback, make any corrections in a REPLY. Do NOT edit your original work.

This is important because if you edit your original work, your classmates will not benefit from the feedback and your corrections. We learn by correcting our mistakes and your classmates will also learn from your corrected mistakes.

The completed problem set should be submitted by the deadline. If your problems need some corrections, you will have until midnight eastern time on the following Tuesdays to correct your work. It is recommended to present your work before the deadline so that you can have more than one attempt at correcting it and then time for fine-tuning, if necessary, before the corrections deadline.

Paper For Above Instructions

Introduction

In this paper, I will present two distinct mathematical problems that reflect the assigned numbers from the problem set. Each problem will be solved step-by-step as though I were teaching my classmates. This approach not only conveys the process but also clarifies any complex portions of the calculations involved.

Problem 01: Calculating the Area of a Circle

Statement of the Problem: Given a circle with a diameter of 10 centimeters, calculate the area.

Formula used: The formula to calculate the area of a circle is:

A = πr²

Where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.

Substituting Values: Since the diameter is given as 10 cm, the radius r can be calculated as:

r = diameter / 2 = 10 cm / 2 = 5 cm

Now substituting this value into the area formula gives:

A = π(5 cm)² = π(25 cm²)

Calculator result: Using the value of π as approximately 3.14:

A ≈ 3.14 * 25 cm² = 78.5 cm²

Explanatory Comments: In this step, I calculated the radius from the diameter and used it in the area formula for a circle. The squared term indicates that area increases vastly as the radius does.

Concluding Statement: Therefore, the area of the circle with a diameter of 10 centimeters is approximately 78.5 cm².

Problem 02: Solving a Linear Equation

Statement of the Problem: Solve for x in the equation 3x + 5 = 20.

Process Used: To solve for x, we follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

    2. 3x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

    3x = 15

  2. Now, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:

    3. 3x / 3 = 15 / 3

    x = 5

Explanatory Comments: Each manipulation of the equation was done to isolate the variable x, thus making it easy to determine the solution. This linear equation method is fundamental in algebra and useful in variable identification.

Concluding Statement: Thus, the solution for x in the equation 3x + 5 = 20 is x = 5.

Conclusion

This presentation provided thorough calculations and explanations for both problems based on the requirements of the problem set. By detailing each step, my aim is to not only present the solutions but also enhance understanding of the mathematical principles involved.
