Equality Symbol

Introduction to equality symbol:

Equality expression allows all the operation in mathematics. The equality should be denoted by a symbol ‘=’.

Example: p = q. It represents that the terms at both sides are equal which is represented by a symbol ‘=’. We can do all the arithmetic operations at this equality expression without change the meaning of equality. This equality is used for solving the equations.

Properties of Equality Symbol:

The properties of equality symbol are,

Addition property of equality symbol
Subtraction property of equality
Multiplication property of equality
Division property of equality
Addition property of equality:

It states that the addition of a number at equality cannot change the meaning of equality symbol.

Example: p + q = r + q

Subtraction property of equality:

The subtraction of a number at equality cannot change the meaning of the equality symbol

Example: p – q = r – q

Multiplication property of equality symbol:

The multiplication of a number at equality cannot change the meaning of equality symbol.

Example: p . q = r . q

Division property of equality:

The division of a number at equality cannot change the equality symbol.

Example: p/q = r/q

Example Problems to Equality Symbol:

Example: 1

Solve: 5 + b = 25

Solution:

Given 5 + b = 25

Subtract a number 5 at both sides for getting unknown value b.

5 + b – 5 = 25 – 5

b = 20

To check:

5 + 20 = 25

25 = 25

Answer: b= 25

Example: 2

Solve: n - 22 = 69

Solution:

Given n - 22 = 69

Add a number 22 at both sides for getting unknown value n.

n – 22 + 22 = 69 - 22

n = 47

Example: 3

The Equation Y Kx is Called

Introduction to the equation y  kx is called:
If  x and y are the two variables, y is directly proportional to x and there is a constant k exists. (Constant k is always not equal to zero). This is called as direct proportionality. It is denoted as y ∝ x.

If we want to remove the proportionality symbol, then we use the constant k. It also can be written as y = k x.

where,  k =` y / x` .   k is called a proportionality constant (or) constant of proportionality. Now, we are going to see some of the problems on the equation y  kx is called an direct proportionality. Having problem with Addition of Polynomials keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.

Example Problem Related to the Equation Called as Y Kx:

Example problem 1:

Let us assume the variable y is directly proportional to x. Given y = 60 and x = 20. Write an equation which is called as a direct proportionality that relates x and y.

Solution:

Given y = 60 and x = 20

Direct proportionality, y ∝ x

It also can be written as y = k x

Substituting the given x and y values in the above equation,

60 = k * 20

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation

`60 / 20 = (20k) / 20`

k = 3

Substitute the value of k in the equation y = kx.

So, the equation is y = 3x. I have recently faced lot of problem while learning greatest integer function, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Additional Problem Related to the Equation Called as Y Kx:

Example problem 2:

Let us assume x and y are the variables. If y varies directly as x and the value of y = 66 when the value of x = 11.

1)      Find the value of proportionality constant

2)      Calculate the value of y when x = 22

3)      Calculate the value of x when y = 33

Solution:

1) Given y = 66 and x = 11

Direct proportionality, y ∝ x

It also can be written as y = k x

Substituting the given x and y values in the above equation,

66 = k * 11

Divide by 11 on both sides of the equation

`66 / 11 = (11k) / 11`

k = 6

So, the proportionality constant k =6.

2) Substitute the value of x = 22 and the proportionality constant k = 6 in the equation y = k x

y = 6* 22

y = 132

So, the value of y = 132.

3) Substitute the value of y = 33 and the proportionality constant k = 6 in the equation y = k x

33 = 6 x

Divide by 6 on both sides of the equation

`33 / 6 = (6x) / 6`

x = 5.5

So, the value of x = 5.5.

Practice Problems Related to the Equation Y Kx:

1) Let us assume the variable y is directly proportional to x. Given y = 26 and x = 13. Write an equation which is called as a direct proportionality that relates x and y. (Answer:  y =  2x).

2) Let us assume the variable y is directly proportional to x. Given y = 50 and x = 10. Write an equation which is called as a direct proportionality that relates x and y. (Answer: y = 5x).

Regression of Y on X

Introduction to regression of y on x:

Regression equations, also known as estimating equations, are algebraic expressions of the regression lines. Since there are two regression lines, there are two regression equations - the regression equation of X on Y is used to describe the variations in the values of X for given changes in Y and the regression equation of Y on X is used to describe the variation in the values of Y for given changes in X. I like to share this Logistic Regression Model with you all through my article.

Expression of Regression of Y on X

The regression equation of Y on X is expressed as follows:
Yc= a + bX
In this equation a and b are constants (fixed numerals values) which determines the position of the line completely. These constants are called the parameters  of the line. If the value of either or both of them is changed, another line is determined. The parameter 'a' determines the intercept, i.e., what will be the value of Y ( dependent variable) when X (independent variable) takes the value zero. The parameter 'b' determines the slope of the line i.e., the change in Y per unit change in X. The symbol Yc stands for the value of Y computed from the relationship for a given X. Please express your views of this topic need help with math homework for free by commenting on blog.

If the values of the constants 'a' and 'b' are obtained, the line is completely determined. But the question is how to obtain these values. The answer is provided by the methods of Least Squares which states that the line should be drawn through the plotted points in such a manner that the sum of the squares of the deviations of the actual Y values from the computed Y values is the least, or other words, in order to obtain a line which fits the points best `sum` (Y - Yc)2 should be minimum. Such a line is known as the line of 'best fit.'

A Straight Line Fitted by least Squares has the Following Characteristics(regression of Y on X)

It gives the best fit to the data in the sense that it makes the sum of the squared deviations from the line, `sum` (Y - Yc)2 ,  smaller than they would be from any other straight line. This property accounts for the name 'Least Square.'
The deviation above the line equal those below the line, on the average. This means that the total of the positive and the negative is zero , or `sum` (Y - Yc) = 0.
The straight line goes through the overall mean of the data `( barX barY )`.
When the data represent a sample from a larger population, the least squares line is a 'best' estimate of the population regression line.


With a little algebra and differential calculus it can be shown that the following two equations, if solved simultaneously, will yield values of the parameters a and b such that the least squares requirement is fulfilled :

`sumY = Na + bsum X`

`sumXY = a sumX + b sumX^2`

These equations are usually called the normal equations. In the equations `sumX, sumY, sumXY, sumX^2`  indicates totals which are computed from the observed pairs of values of two variables X and Y to which the least squares estimating line is to be  fitted and N is the number of observed pairs of values.

Regression Equation of X on Y

Regression Equation of X on Y is expressed as follows:
Xc = Na +bY

To determine the values of a and b the following two normal equations are to be solved simultaneously.

`sumX = Na + bsum Y`

`sumXY = a sumY + b sumY^2`

Illustration of Regression of Y on X

From the following data obtain the Regression Equation of Y on X
X               6               2               10                4               8
Y               9              11                5                8                7
Solution. :

OBTAINING REGRESSION EQUATION

`X`    `Y`    `XY`    X^2
 6     9     54        36
 2    11     22         4
10     5     50       100
 4     8     32        16
 8     7     56        64
`sumX = 30`    `sumY = 40`    `sumXY = 214`


Regression Equation of Y on X :
Yc = a + bX
To determine the value of a and b the following two normal equations are to be solved
`sumX = Na + bsumX`
`sumXY = asumX + bsumX^2`
Substituting the values

40 = 5 a + 30 b                                                        .................(i)
214 = 30a + 220b                                                     ..................(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 6 : 240 = 30a +180b                                       ..................(iii)
214 = 30a + 220b                                                     ..................(iv)

Deducting equation (iv) from (iii)
- 40b =  26
or b = -0.65

Substituting the value of b in equation (i)
40 = 5a + 30 (-0.65)
or   5a = 40 + 19.5 = 59.5
or   a  = 11.9

Putting the values of a and b in the equation, the regression of Y on X is
Y = 11.9 - 0.65X
