    Binary Tree Induction

    # Recall that a binary tree can be defined recursively as: * A Binary Tree is either empty * or A Binary Tree consists of a node with a left and right child both of which are Binary Trees. The degree of a node in a tree is equal to 0 if both children are empty, 1 if one of the children are empty, and 2 of both children ar

    Application of Algebraic Expressions

    2. Mr. Pinto is a Web designer. He is trying to put 4 characters on a page. The space occupied by character 2 takes 5 units more than character 1, character 3 takes 7 units less than the character 2, and character 4 takes the same space as that taken by character 2. a. Find the total space occupied by all the characters in an a

    Creating algebraic expressions

    Variables

    Lydia takes ten minutes more to complete an illustration than Tom. The total time taken by both of them is six hours. Form an algebraic equation to express this and identify the variables, coefficients, and constants of the algebraic expression. You are not required to solve the equation.

    Measurement of Angles

    1. In a certain triangle the measure of one angle is double the measure of a second angle but is 10 degrees less than the measure of the third angle. [The sum of the measures of three interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.] Form an algebraic equation to express the problem and identify the variables, coefficients,
