1.What are the characteristics of mathematical language?
Characteristics of Mathematical Language People often consider mathematics a
difficult subject matter because they consider the language of mathematics as
foreign to them. However, like any language, mathematics has its own symbols,
syntax and rules to understand the expressed ideas and to communicate ideas
to others.,
Mathematics is about ideas -- relationships, quantities, processes, ways of
figuring out certain kinds of things, reasoning, and so on. It uses words. When
we have ideas, we often want to talk about them; that is when we need words.
Words help us communicate. The ideas are elsewhere.
The language of mathematics makes it easy to express the kinds of thoughts
that mathematicians like to express. There are three important characteristics
of the language of mathematics. These are precision, conciseness, and powerful.
Precision is defined as the attribute of being exact and accurate. You'll be able
to distinguish between very subtle differences when a notion is precise. Being
clear in your communication reduces the likelihood that others won't grasp why
and under what circumstances a scenario is true. When you use the phrase "the
set of positive integers," for example, you are referring to a specific group of
numbers without specifying what those precise numbers are. These positive
integers include 1, 2, 3,,, and other numbers.
Conciseness
Utilizing the fewest possible words while yet being effective is what is meant by
being concise. A definition is considered concise in the language of mathematics
if it is succinct and direct. This indicates that the definition often avoids
duplication, redundancy, and needless details and can be understood in large
part with only a few words. Let's attempt to describe a word that contains
conciseness to demonstrate this trait. It suffices to define a regular pentagon as
a polygon with five equal sides and angles, which satisfies the two requirements
that it also has five equal angles.
Powerful. When complex ideas can be expressed with a reasonable amount of
ease, the language of mathematics is believed to be powerful. The human mind
is given strong tools and assistance when mathematics and written language are
used together. In the sciences, such as computer programming, physics,
medicine, etc., math is employed in research projects and the development of
new technologies. It is possible to study mathematics as a second language, but
it takes the same amount of work. Therefore, in order to improve our abilities
to read, write, speak, and understand mathematics, we must practice using
mathematical language concepts extensively.

2.What is the difference between unary and binary operations?give an example

for each.
 Unary operators are arithmetic operators that perform an action on a
single operand. The script language recognizes the unary operator
negative(-). The negative unary operator reverses the sign of an
expression from positive to negative or vice versa.

 Example:
 1. -5
 2. sin x
 3. cos 45°
Binary operators are those operators that works with two operands.
For example, a common binary expression would be a+b , the addition
operator (+) is surrounded by two operands
