5 What advantage is there to using algebraic equations instead of numerical values when defining the dimensions of a CAD model?
Dimensions can be more accurately calculated when using algabreic equations rather than numerical values.
Describe the graph of a linear system with one solution?
Two or more straight lines meeting at one point.
Is there a programmable thermostat for a unit that has 1 ac unit and 2 thermostats?
You need to be a bit more specific in your question. You state you have 1 AC system but 2 thermostats. What type of heating system do you have? Gas furnace, Boiler, Electric heat, Hot Water? Is your heating unit separate from your cooling unit?
What is the disadvantage of using K MAP?
The K map does not necessarily "fail" for higher dimensions. The problem is that it is so difficult to visualize for more than five variables. A 4 variable K-map is 2 dimensional and easy to visualize. A 5 variable is three dimensional, but is still manageable from a visualization standpoint, because the 2 states of the 5th variable only require visually moving from one plane to the next, without moving in the x or y directions of either plane. Just getting equations correct with more than 5 variables is difficult enough using the K map, much less considering an optimum set of terms ("core" prime implicants and "choice" prime implicates).
What does complicate mean?
The word complicates is the present tense of the verb to complicate, meaning to make more complicated or more complex, or in other words, to complicate is the opposite of to simplify. The addition of more details, more problems, more aspects of a given situation are all things that can complicate it.
What 3-D is in relation to the Cartesian coordinate system?
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used in 3 or more dimensions.
Can three-dimensional figures can be located on a Cartesian coordinate system?
Yes, the Cartesian coordinate system is routinely extended to 3 and more dimensions. In 3-d the location of each point is determined by an ordered triple, usually denoted (x,y,z), with corresponding extensions to more dimensions.
What is the cartesian coordnate system?
The cartesian coordinate system is the basic coordinate system people are familiar with. If you were to plot a basic X Y graph, where X and Y increase towards infinity, you are graphing in the cartesian coordinate system. There are a few other popular coordinate systems for more advanced math, but they are rarely used by most people. (polar coordinate system is common for some calculus equations)
What is a coordinate grid point?
It is a point on the coordinate grid. The grid may be the Cartesian or coordinate plane, or its equivalent in 3 or more dimensions. It could also refer to a grid where the axes are not at right angles to one another (eg isometric grid).
The point where the two axes of a cartesian coordinate system meet is called?
It is called The Origin. You can go to Wikipedia.com and get more information on The Origin.
What is a pair of numbers indicating the x coordinate and the y coordinate on a grid?
A "Cartesian Ordered Pair," more commonly known as simply an "Ordered Pair."
How do you find the direction of the vector?
I suspect the question arises from confusion. A vector itself already defines a direction, usually in the Cartesian xyz coordinate system. If you want to express the direction in other coordinates, such as polar or spherical coordinates you need to transform the vector to these coordinate systems. I can answer you question more fully if you can specify the specific coordinate system in which you want to know the direction.
Do economic analysts use coordinate planes?
Yes, almost all the time. And when it is not coordinate planes it is coordinate hype-spaces (more than just the 2 dimensions that the coordinate plane allows).
Can three dimensional figures can be located on a Cartesian coordinate system?
Yes. All you need is three mutually perpendicular axes (instead of two). To visualise this, look at the corner of a room. There will be three lines coming together at the corner: floor and one wall, floor and another wall, and the two walls. These three lines would act as your axes to describe the 3-d space of the room. The axes are usually labelled x, y and z. Mathematicians (and physicists) have no problem in dealing with coordinate systems in 4 or more dimensions.
WHY DO POSITION IS A VECTOR QUANTITY?
To describe position, you need more than one number - for instance, an x-coordinate, a y-coordinate, and (if it is in three dimensions) a z-coordinate. That's the very essence of a vector - the fact that it is made up of several components.
A cartesian plane is used to designate what?
The name Cartesian is derived from the name Descartes, after its creator, Rene Descartes. In math, a Cartesian plane is the entire field of a graph. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis. You will only have a Cartesian plane if these two intersect. If it is a straight line graph, it is not a Cartesian plane.
What is the axes of a rectangle?
First, a coordinate. A coordinate is a number. It labels a point on a line.Second, a coordinate axis is a line with coordinates.to label a point in a plane (a flat surface), we need more than one coordinate axis, and we place a second at right angles to the first.Those axes are called rectangular coordinate axes, because they are at right angles to one another. The coordinates on them are called rectangular coordinates. They are also called Cartesian coordinates.
