Classification
How does classification help us?
It allows us to be more organized and arrange data clearly
What is defining by Genus and difference? Give an example.
This technique states the genus and then some essential characteristics to distinguish it from other species in that genus. Triangle: 3 sided polygon
animal, Guneesh, person, living thing
Guneesh, person, animal, living thing
What is the rule of 72?
72/growth rate = doubling time
Define the referent of a term.
The class of things that a concept stands for.
What is a definition, what is a word?
Definition: a statement that identifies referents of a concept by specifying the genus they belong to and the essential characteristics. Word: A linguistic vehicle used to express an idea.
Which type of definition is this?:
Challenger Student: Guneesh, Vihaan, Rohan
What is the LA of a pyramid or cone?
LA = 1/2 Ph
Define genus and define species. Draw a simple hierarchy chart for it.
A genus is the general abstraction of a concept while a species is a concrete part of the genus. I'll show you the hierarchy chart.
What is a defintion, what is a word?
Definition: a statement that identifies referents of a concept by specifying the genus they belong to and the essential characteristics. Word: A linguistic vehicle used to express an idea.
Dessert:
What is the total surface area of a pyramid/cone? in most simplified terms?
Answer:
πr x r + 1/2 Ph
Why are both genus and species relative? Give me an example
They are both relative because they can change depending on the term. Genus: Animal, Species: Vertebrate. Genus: Living things, Species: Animal
What limits are there to the Defining by synonym? Give an example of each limit (2)
Many words have no synonym or their synonyms are too confusing. Triangle has not synonym while vicissitude's synonym is mutability which is equally as confusing.
Identify the genus and differentia(think outta the box):
Integrity is having and being consistent with principles that are life-enhancing, constructive, and productive
There is no genus, since there is no noun.
What is the formula for the area of an equalateral triangle?
1/4 s² √ 3
Define the full Michael method (the one Ms. Michael gave us in class) for finding the LCM and from n to another number. If you get this wrong you might as well quit challenger, this is a wannabee question :)
we'll discuss this verbally
What are the three types of defining techniques and explain each of them
I'm not typing all of this!!!! We'll discuss verbally
Discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of each method of defining (This is a text question imagine) What is the most effective method?
I am not typing this at all
Solve for the area of the equalateral triangle using the formula in "400" point question for Formulas. side length (s) = 4 cm
√ 3 cm
