Best Answer

A T square is a drawing instrument used by engineers and draftsmen to come up with engineering design drawings. Consists of two arms at right angles to each other (usually made of wood). One arm is shorter than the other and the shorter arm slides against the edge of a drawing board and the longer arm is used to draw precise parallel and perpendicular lines and other equally accurate lines using set squares and protractors additionally.

What is the answer to t2 plus t plus 3 equals 0?

If t2 + t + 3 = 0 then[moving the 3 to the other side of the equation]t2 + t = -3[adding a value to both sides of the equation allowing us to easily factor the expression - i.e. completing the square]t2 + t + 1/4 = -3 + 1/4[factoring the expression: t2 + t + 1/4 factors to (t + 1/2) (t + 1/2) i.e. (t + 1/2)2 ](t + 1/2)2 = -3 + 1/4(t + 1/2)2 = -2.75[now square root each side]t + 1/2 = -2.751/2t = -2.751/2 - 1/2[the square root of -2.75 is equal to the square root of 2.75 * the square root of -1. The square root of -1 is an imaginary number represented by the letter "i"]t = (2.751/2 * -11/2) - 1/2t = (2.751/2 * i) - 1/2[the square root of 2.75 has two answers (+ and -) which will provide the two roots to the quadratic]t = + or - 1.658i - 1/2 (to 3 decimal places only)To solve this equation we have used the technique of "completing the square" and have made use of the imaginary number "i".This equation does not have real roots as it involves the square root of a negative number and so this is the only way in which we can answer the question.


What is the function of a T-square?

In Drafting, the T-Square acts as a Reference Frame for the drawing to be made. The edge that rides along the drafting table or board is a perfect 90o to the blade. The Paper is first aligned (squared up) with the T-Square's top edge. Then any lines drawn against the blade are perfectly parallel to it. Using Plastic Triangles of various types, angled lines can be drawn that are true to the reference line of the T-Square. In this manner realistic and accurate 'mechanical" drawings can be made. If the drawing is removed from the table it can be easily remounted using the T-Square as a Reference.


What is the difference between a chi-square and t-distribution?

Chi-square is a distribution used to analyze the standard deviation of two samples. A t-distribution on the other hand, is used to compare the means of two samples.
