VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, 1 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, Segment 1: Profit and Loss
Profit and loss are the key measures in a business. A system of equations that includes an equation for income and one for expenses can be used to determine profit and loss. Students solve a system graphically. |
Applications of Linear Systems and Solving Systems of Equations | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, 2 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, Segment 2: Encryption
Secret codes and encryption are ideal examples of a system of equations. In this activity, students encrypt and decrypt a message. This is part of a collection of videos from the Algebra Applications video series on the topic of Systems of Equations. |
Applications of Linear Systems and Solving Systems of Equations | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, 3 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Systems of Equations, Segment 3: Ballistic Missiles
A ballistic missile shield allows you to shoot incoming missiles out of the sky. Mathematically, this is an example of a linear-quadratic system. Students graph such a system and find the points of intersection between a line and a parabola. |
Applications of Linear Systems and Solving Systems of Equations | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations
In this episode of Algebra Applications, two real-world explorations are developed: Biology. Analyzing statistics from honey bee production allows for a mathematical analysis of the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder. Geology. Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line? |
Applications of Equations and Inequalities, Variables and Unknowns and Variable Expressions | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, 1 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, Segment 1: Introduction.
An overview of the key topics to be covered in the video. This is part of a collection of videos from the Algebra Applications video series on the topic of Variables and Equations. |
Applications of Equations and Inequalities, Variables and Unknowns and Variable Expressions | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, 2 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, Segment 2: Honey Production.
Honey bees not only produce a tasty treat, they also help pollinate flowering plants that provide much of the food throughout the world. So, when in 2006 bee colonies started dying out, scientists recognized a serious problem. |
Applications of Equations and Inequalities, Variables and Unknowns and Variable Expressions | |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, 3 |
VIDEO: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, Segment 3: River Ratios.
Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line? In going from point A to point B, why should a river take the circuitous route it does instead of a direct path? |
