"What mathematical ideas are you curious to know more about as a result of takingthis class? Give one example of a question about the material that you'd like to explorefurther, and describe why this is an interesting question to you."

One mathematical idea I've always been curious about is "integration and derivation".

Integration is about assimilating different variables. Derivation is a mathematical process whereby a result is gotten from some initial assumptions.

Integration is used everyday in different aspects of our lives. For example, if a person is travelling from let's say point A to point B, the speed used by the person might vary but through integration, one can easily get the accurate speed.

Through the division of equations into smaller bits, once can use integration to get the answer that one seeks. Architect can use integration in building the right structures at the exact places where the structures fits.

Likewise derivatives can be used by businesses in assessing whether a profit or loss will be made for a particular transaction or sale of product.

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
