Triakis 2016-06-27
Gordon pose la question :
Some authorities treat "triakis" (and related terms "dyakis", "tetrakis", etc.) as attached prefixes; others treat them as separate adjectives. Thus I see one of the Catalan solids described as both "triakistetrahedron" and "triakis tetrahedron". Which usage is correct?

Why express fractions in lowest terms? 2014-10-09
John pose la question :
I teach in a Faculty of Education. A colleague in the university asked me about fractions and lowest terms. I am quoting the person below, and would appreciate your insights into the question/thought.

"One I'm struggling with is why (for example) 6/18 is not considered as good an answer to a fraction question as 1/3. The traditional response is that 6/18 is not in lowest terms so the question has not been finished until the fraction is reduced, but what actually makes the lowest terms answer the better one? Is it convention? Is there a way to explain why simplest form answers in fractions are right and and anything else is considered incorrect without alluding to some need for this 'good habit' elsewhere in math or science? Is there a real-life reason?" Thank you for any insights and if you have nothing to offer to this query, that is fine too. I appreciate your consideration. John

Like terms 2008-07-14
Jana pose la question :
Hello, i am a student in year 8 doing Algebra. My Teacher is doing a sheet with us and it asks us to find Like Terms.
The Questions have sentences and you have to find the Like Term. I was wondering, does it matter when there is numbers that are different? are they still like terms?
I'm really confused, i'll write out an example of the questions, so you know what i mean.

It says to find the like terms:
(1.) c- 3c + 7c
(2.) 4x - 7x + 5x
(3.) 3xy + 4 xy

Multiplier and multiplicand 2003-12-17
Karen pose la question :
The K-5 curriculum states that at a grade 5 level students should "understand and use the terms multiplier, multiplicand" The curriculum defines 'multiplicand' as " a number being multiplied by another number. A factor." There is no definition given for 'multiplier' Question: Define these words- are they just other words for 'factors'. If so, how important is it that students use these terms? It would seem like 'factors' would be the better choice of words to use. If multiplcand refers to eg. the first factor in the equation and the 'multiplier' the seond term, (if in fact it does)- is this not confusing for students when we teach them that multiplication is commutative?

Radians 2003-01-16
Erikson pose la question :
I am a student in the 10th grade and attending advanced math at my high school. I was assign to do a report about the unit circle and the radian.

Finding a rule for a sequence 1999-02-17
Lindsey Masters pose la question :
I'm doing a maths investigation and i have a sequence which goes:-

13,16,25,32,45,56,73.

Our teacher told us we have to find a rule by looking at the differences of the terms until we find a constant. The first differences are:-

3,9,7,13,11,17.

The differences of these are:- ......

Please could you tell me how to work it out so that I could work out the rules of similar sequences.
