    • School

    • Museum

    • Home

    • Restaurant

    Correct Answer
    A. School
    Explanation
    Mathematics is usually taught in school because it is a subject that requires a structured and formal learning environment. Schools provide the necessary resources such as textbooks, teachers, and classrooms to effectively teach mathematics. Additionally, schools offer a curriculum that is designed to progressively build upon mathematical concepts, allowing students to develop their skills and understanding over time. Mathematics is not typically taught in a museum, home, or restaurant as these environments may not have the necessary educational resources or expertise to provide a comprehensive mathematical education.

    • A mathematician

    • A doctor

    • An engineer

    • An accountant

    Correct Answer
    A. A mathematician
    Explanation
    A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge of mathematics in his or her work, typically to solve mathematical problems. This profession requires a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and principles, as well as the ability to apply them in practical situations. Mathematicians often work in research, academia, or industry, and their expertise is crucial in various fields such as physics, computer science, and finance. They use their mathematical skills to analyze data, develop algorithms, and solve complex problems, making them essential contributors to advancements in science and technology.

    • Lambda calculus

    • Combinatory logic

    • Generators

    • Turing machines

    Correct Answer
    A. Generators
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "generators". In abstract algebra, a presentation of an algebraic structure is often given by generators, which are elements that can generate the entire structure through various operations. These generators serve as a basis for understanding and analyzing the structure, allowing for the exploration of its properties and relationships. By identifying and studying the generators, one can gain insight into the structure's behavior and characteristics.

    • Relators

    • Lambda calculus

    • Combinatory logic

    • Turing machines

    Correct Answer
    A. Relators
    Explanation
    In abstract algebra, a presentation of an algebraic structure is often given by generators and relators. The generators are the elements that can be used to generate the structure, and the relators are the equations or identities that these generators must satisfy. The relators provide additional information about the structure and help define its properties and relationships between the generators. Therefore, the correct answer is "relators".

    Word problems is a sub-topic under .....?

    • Decimals

    • Algebra

    • Ratio

    • Proportions

    Correct Answer
    A. Algebra
    Explanation
    Word problems is a sub-topic under algebra because it involves using mathematical equations and expressions to solve real-life problems. In word problems, we often translate the given information into algebraic equations and then solve them to find the unknown variables. This requires understanding and applying algebraic concepts such as variables, equations, and systems of equations. Therefore, algebra is the correct sub-topic under which word problems fall.

    Which of them is a scientist?

    • Will Smith

    • Shawn Carter

    • Donald Trump

    • Pythagoras

    Correct Answer
    A. Pythagoras
    Explanation
    Pythagoras is the correct answer because he was a Greek mathematician and philosopher who is best known for the Pythagorean theorem in geometry. He made significant contributions to mathematics and is considered one of the founding fathers of Western mathematics. On the other hand, Will Smith and Shawn Carter are both well-known entertainers, and Donald Trump is a businessman and former president of the United States.
