Pythagorean Theorem
... Which number goes where? You need to identify the hypotenuse. It’s the one opposite of the right angle. The hypotenuse is always going to be the c in the formula. Since we do not know the value of c, it stays as c in the formula. Does it matter whether we use a = 8 or 15? No. Let’s use a = 8 and b = ...

... • The set of numbers (or objects) to which we apply the function, A, is called the domain of the function. • The set of values of B which are equal to f (x) for some x in A is called the range of f . We have range of f = {f (x)|x ∈ A} In the example shown above where f (x) = x2 , we see that the va ...

Pascal`s Triangle
... For example, suppose you want to choose 2 objects from n. Well you have to choose a first and then a second. Now there are n ways of choosing the first and then, for each of these, n– 1 ways of choosing the second (from the ones that are left!) for a total of n(n–1) ways. But this method actually co ...

Ambiguity
Ambiguity is a type of uncertainty of meaning in which several interpretations are plausible. It is thus an attribute of any idea or statement whose intended meaning cannot be definitively resolved according to a rule or process with a finite number of steps. (The ambi- part of the name reflects an idea of ""two"" as in two meanings.)The concept of ambiguity is generally contrasted with vagueness. In ambiguity, specific and distinct interpretations are permitted (although some may not be immediately apparent), whereas with information that is vague, it is difficult to form any interpretation at the desired level of specificity.Context may play a role in resolving ambiguity. For example, the same piece of information may be ambiguous in one context and unambiguous in another.
