Why does b represent the y-intercept?
B is just a constant variable. In the standard form for the equation of a line y= ax +b. When x = 0, this is where we cross the y axis and the equation evaluates to b.
How can you represent a proportional relationship using an equation?
You cannot represent a proportional relationship using an equation.
What is the value of the constant in the equation below?
That depends on what the equation is.
Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?
Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
How are letters and symbols used in equations?
Letters and symbols are used in equations to represent quantities, sometimes known or unknown. For example the symbol π (pi) represents the constant 3.14… and is unchanging. X or Y in an equation represent unknown terms that may vary depending on the equation, and other variables in the equation. There are numerous examples of both symbols and letters used in mathematical equations, but almost always they are either referring to a known constant term that is more simply expressed as a symbol, or an unknown or general term yet to be concretely determined.
What is the linear equation used to represent a proportion?
y = cx where c is the constant of proportionality.
What is the letter in a term in math called?
In a mathematial equation the letters wither represent a variable or a constant.
What is the value of the mu constant in the equation?
The value of the mu constant in the equation is 3.14159.
What does the answer to an equation represent?
The solution is the answer to an equation.
Why does b represent the y-intercept?
B is just a constant variable. In the standard form for the equation of a line y= ax +b. When x = 0, this is where we cross the y axis and the equation evaluates to b.
Wha is a linear equation?
A linear equation is when each term in the algebraic equation is either a constant or the product has a single variable and a constant.
What is the value and unit of the rate constant for this reaction?
The value and unit of the rate constant for a reaction represent how fast the reaction occurs. The rate constant is typically denoted by the symbol "k" and its unit depends on the overall order of the reaction. The unit of the rate constant can be determined by the reaction rate equation.
How can you represent a proportional relationship using an equation?
You cannot represent a proportional relationship using an equation.
What is the value of the constant in the equation below?
That depends on what the equation is.
What is the phase constant in the equation when the values are 180, 0, and 180?
The phase constant in the equation is 180 degrees.
What does a coefficient represent?
It depends on the equation and the coefficient. Coefficients can be constant (Boltzmann constant, Avogadro's number) but they can also be variable (Reynolds number). The coefficient of gravity, g, is 9.81 m/s^2 in metric units on Earth.
What can a triangle represent in a periodic equation?
In a periodic equation a triangle can be used to represent the given change of something.
