1All numbers in our real number system are the
product of prime numbers. Complete the following
steps for this discussion List the ages
of two people in your life, one older than you
and one younger than you. It would be best if the
younger person was 15 years of age or
younger. Find the prime factorizations of your
age and the other two persons ages. Show your
work listed by name and age. Make sure your work
is clear and concise. Find the LCM and the GCF

        Upon examining the contents of 38
backpacks, it was found that 23 contained a black
pen, 27 contained a blue pen, and 21 contained a
pencil, 15 contained both a black pen and a blue
pen, 12 contained both a black pen and a pencil,
18 contained both a blue pen and a pencil, and 10
contained all three items.  How many backpacks
contained exactly two of the three writing
instruments?  
Assignment Following completion of your
readings, complete exercises 35 and 37 in the
Real World Applications section on page 280
of Mathematics in Our World.For each exercise,
specify whether it involves an arithmetic
sequence or a geometric sequence and use the
proper formulas where applicable. Format your
math work as shown in the Week One Assignment
Guide and be concise in your reasoning. Plan the
logic necessary to complete the exercise before
you begin writing. For an example of the math
required for this assignment, please review
the Week One Assignment Guide.

MAT 126 Week 2 Assignment Is It Fat Free
1Following completion of your weekly readings,
read Are You Sure Its Fat Free? on page 286
of Mathematics in Our World.Gather three of
your favorite packaged foods perhaps one from
each breakfast, lunch and dinner. Use the model
explained in the Are You Sure Its Fat Free? to
analyze, through the mathematical formula
explained, the fat content and protein
content from your foods. To analyze the protein
content use 4 calories per gram of protein,
rather than the 9 calories for grams of fat.The
assignment must include (a) all math work
required to answer the problems as well as (b)
introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
This Discussion should be an eye opener for
most students. We will look at our food shopping
trends and how we spend our money. The outcomes
should reveal some interesting facts. Save a cash
register receipt from a shopping trip to the food
market, or borrow one from a family member or
friend. The cost of four prepackaged food items
that are sold by weight and the cost of at least
three fresh fruits, or vegetables need to appear
on the receipt.

  This Discussion will help us learn to
develop our own mathematical models, write down
the equations and then solve the equations for
unknown values using algebraic methods. Refer
back to Week One Discussion and use the names and
ages of yourself and the other two people you
selected. Make sure one is older than you and one
is younger than you. In years, how old was the
older person when you were born? Write an
equation that models how old in years each of you
will be, when your ages add up to 150 years old.
For example, if x your age and the eldest
person was a year older than you, you would write
their age as x 1. Then the equation would be x
(x1) 150. Explain the reasoning which helped
you develop your equation.

MAT 126 Week 3 Assignment Quadratic Equations
Following completion of your weekly readings,
complete the exercises in the Projects section
on page 397 ofMathematics in Our World.You
should be concise in your reasoning. For Project
1, work only equations (a) and (c), but complete
all 6 steps (a-f) as shown in the example.For
Project 2, please select at least five numbers
0 (zero), two even, and two odd. Make sure you
organize your paper into separate projects.The
assignment must include (a) all math work
required to
  1This Discussion will concentrate on functions
and graphs. Understanding the definitions of
words is the essence of mathematics. When we
understand the meaning of words, finding a
solution is much easier because we know what task
the problem is asking us to complete. Part 1 In
your own words, define the word function. Give
your own example of a function using a set of at
least 4 ordered pairs. The domain will be any
four integers between 0 and 10.

This Discussion tests your ability to use a
ruler and convert from Standard English measure
to Metrics. You will then apply your knowledge of
the geometric measurements of area and volume
through real world problems. Choose a room in
your house. Measure the length, the width, and
the height. Make sure you use feet and inches.
Most rooms are not a whole number, such as 10
feet they are 10 feet and 3 inches, or 9 feet 6
inches, etc.

MAT 126 Week 4 Assignment Pythagorean Triples
Assignment Following completion of your
readings, complete exercise 4 in the Projects
section on page 620 of Mathematics in Our
World. Make sure you build or generate at
least five more Pythagorean Triples using one of
the many formulas available online for doing
this. After building your triples, verify each of
them in the Pythagorean Theorem equation.
  1) The purpose of this Discussion is to
analyze a financial plan that portrays a somewhat
typical budgeting scheme. You will calculate
expenses, a mortgage payment, and the effects of
interest and financing on your budget. Show your
math work for every answer and identify the
answers with words. Select the first three
letters of your last name. Each letter has a
numerical place value in the alphabet. For
example, D is 4, L is 12, and Z is 26. Add the
three place values together. For example, Wallace
would yield WAL, which is 23112 36. Multiply
your sum by 1500. This is your yearly income for

Discussion allows you to demonstrate your
understanding of the similarities and differences
between classical probability and empirical
probability. In your own words, describe two main
differences between classical and empirical
probabilities. Gather coins you find around your
home or in your pocket or purse. You will need
an even number of coins (any denomination)
between 16 and 30. You do not need more than
that. Put all of the coins in a small bag or
container big enough to allow the coins to be
shaken around.

MAT 126 Week 5 Assignment Misinterpretation or
Misuse
Assignment Following completion of your
readings, answer the following two questions from
Chapter 12 Supplement ofMathematics in Our
World. Select one even problem from exercises 1
through 10 on page 810. Select one even
problem from exercises 11 through 22 on pages
811-812.
  This Discussion will give you the opportunity
to calculate or identify the three measures of
central tendency. You will be asked to select an
appropriate real life situation in which one
measure would be more appropriate than the other
two measures of center. Select a topic of
interest to you and record the topic in your
posting, for example What is the average number
of hours people watch TV every week? Make sure
the question you ask will be answered with a
number, rather than answers with words. Write a
hypothesis of what you expect your research to
reveal. Example Adults 21 years and over watch
an average of 2.5 hours of TV per day. Sample at
least fifteen people and record their data in a
simple table or chart study the examples from
Section 12-3.
