    Variables are also called what? - ProProfs

    Variables are also called what?

    • Unknown

    • Blank

    • Zero

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Unknown
    Explanation
    Variables are also called "unknown" because they represent unknown values or quantities that can change in a mathematical equation or problem. They are used to symbolize and manipulate unknown values in order to solve equations and find solutions.

    Mathematics can be taught in ....? - ProProfs

    Mathematics can be taught in ....?

    • School

    • Home

    • Restaurant

    • Museum

    Correct Answer
    A. School
    Explanation
    Mathematics can be taught in school because it is a subject that requires structured learning and guidance from trained teachers. Schools provide a suitable environment for students to engage in mathematical activities, interact with peers, and receive proper instruction. Additionally, schools have dedicated classrooms, resources, and curricula specifically designed to teach mathematics effectively. Home, restaurant, and museum settings may not offer the necessary educational infrastructure and support required for comprehensive mathematics education.

    The "=" symbol, which appears in every equation, was invented in 1557 by? - ProProfs

    The "=" symbol, which appears in every equation, was invented in 1557 by?

    • Liam Nesson

    • Robert Recorde

    • Albert Eisntein

    • Isaac Newton

    Correct Answer
    A. Robert Recorde
    Explanation
    Robert Recorde is the correct answer because he is credited with inventing the "=" symbol in 1557. Recorde was a Welsh mathematician and physician who introduced the symbol in his book "The Whetstone of Witte." Prior to this, equations were often written out in words, making it difficult to express mathematical concepts concisely. Recorde's introduction of the "=" symbol revolutionized mathematics by providing a clear and efficient way to represent equations.

    Who among them is not a mathematician?

    • Robert Recorde

    • Barack Obama

    • Albert Einstein

    • Isaac Newton

    Correct Answer
    A. Barack Obama
    Explanation
    Barack Obama is not a mathematician because he is a politician and not known for any contributions or expertise in the field of mathematics. On the other hand, Robert Recorde, Albert Einstein, and Isaac Newton are all renowned mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the field.

    Mathematics is related to?

    • Algebra

    • Drama

    • Reproduction

    • Civil rights

    Correct Answer
    A. Algebra
    Explanation
    Mathematics is a field of study that deals with numbers, quantities, shapes, and patterns. Algebra is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the manipulation and study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols. It involves solving equations, simplifying expressions, and analyzing patterns and relationships. Therefore, algebra is directly related to mathematics.

    • Ratios

    • Decimals

    • Variables

    • Proportions

    Correct Answer
    A. Variables
    Explanation
    An equation is a statement of equality that includes variables. Variables are symbols that represent unknown quantities and can take on different values. In an equation, these variables are typically combined with constants and mathematical operations to express a relationship between different quantities. By solving the equation, we can determine the values of the variables that satisfy the equality. Ratios, decimals, and proportions are not necessarily present in every equation, but variables are a fundamental component.

    • Results

    • Points

    Correct Answer
    A. Solutions
    Explanation
    When solving an equation, variables represent unknown quantities. The values of these variables that make the equation true are called solutions. Therefore, the correct answer is "solutions."

    There are how many kinds of equations? - ProProfs

    There are how many kinds of equations?

    • One

    • Two

    • Three

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    The question asks about the number of kinds of equations. The given options are one, two, three, and four. The correct answer is two. This implies that there are two different types or categories of equations.

    • 1557

    • 1555

    • 1641

    • 1890

    Correct Answer
    A. 1557
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1557. The "=" symbol, also known as the equals sign, was invented in 1557 by Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde. He introduced this symbol in his book "The Whetstone of Witte" as a way to indicate equality in mathematical equations. Prior to this, mathematicians used various phrases and symbols to represent equality, but Recorde's invention of the "=" symbol provided a concise and universally recognized way to express equality in equations.
