A CUP OF TEA WITH MATH

How to keep watch on your sugar, weight, and diet? Is it ok to take a cup of tea with sugar? Let us find out.

An adult can take 1500 calories to 2500 calories per day. Exact amount of calories depends on one's age and activities. Further, one gram of sugar, carb, and protein yield 4 calories. But the fats yield 9 calories per gram. That is why, oil is more harmful than sugar.
Say, we have a cup of tea and sugar yet to be added. The cup of tea without sugar has at least 30 calories. Now we can write an equation.

Calories in the teacup = 4 * number of grams of sugar + calories in tea.
or Y = 4x + 30
If you are allowed take 50 calories for a evening tea, you can add 5 grams of sugar, safely.
Y = 4*5 +30= 50 calories.
Now plot a graph for this equation Y = 4x+30 we get,

The graph has a slope m=4. That is, as x increases by one unit.  Y increases by 4 units, which is calories per gram of sugar.  The y-intercept is 30 which is basic calories in the tea.
Hence this equation is of the form Y= mx+c; m-slope; c-intercept and it is called linear equation.  That is, we get a straight line not a curve.  Now, we understand that for fats, the slope will be more, and the line will be sleeper.
From tea to gradient:

Positive slope shows when one (x) increases other (y) also increases.  Negative slope means when x increases, the y decreases.  A horizontal line has zero slope.  It shows that increase in x has no effect on y.
The gradient can also be interpreted as the rate of change of y with respect to x.  Steeper the line, higher the rate of change.
Also, positive gradient shows direct relationship between two variables (x and y).  Negative gradient shows inverse relationship between the two variables.
While drinking a cup of tea we have learnt gradien"t".

Your heart -you do not know

Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

One cannot think of a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' . It balances right hand side and left hand side. It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B) = C 2A+2B = C 2A = C-2B A = C-2B/ 2 In an electronic calculator, the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression or simply calculates. In computer languages, it plays very important role. A = B When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A . After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

How it works-1 An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
