2) At the start of the play Eliza is vulgar and uneducated but ambitious. Through Higgins' lessons, she gains polished speech and manners, but also becomes more independent and assertive.
3) While Higgins is proud of his work transforming Eliza, he remains emotionally detached and fails to recognize her role in his success, which upsets her and leads to their conflict at the end of the play.

Math concepts like ratio, proportion, probability, mensuration, trigonometry, and geometry are essential for tasks like following recipes in cooking, analyzing sports performance, measuring land for gardening, calculating interest for banking, using coordinates for navigation, and constructing buildings. Mathematics is a universal language that is important everywhere.
Real numbers
Real numbers comprise all numbers that can be used in everyday life, including natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. Real numbers represent unique points along the infinite number line. They include natural counting numbers and their positives, whole numbers with zero added, integers with their positives and negatives, rational numbers that can be written as fractions, and irrational numbers with non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.
Maths in daily life
Mathematics is essential in many areas of daily life. It underlies natural phenomena like honeycomb structures [SENTENCE 1]. It is also useful for tasks like calculating savings from bulk purchases, spotting misleading statistics in advertisements, and mental arithmetic for quick calculations in shopping [SENTENCE 2]. Engineering, medicine, music, forensics and many other fields rely heavily on mathematical concepts like geometry, calculus, statistics and more to function [SENTENCE 3].

Index Number
- Index numbers measure relative changes in variables like prices, quantities, values over time from a base period. They are used to frame policies, reveal trends, and for deflating purposes.
- There are different methods for constructing index numbers, including simple aggregate methods, simple average of relatives methods, and weighted index numbers that assign weights.
- Common weighted indexes include the Laspeyres method which uses base period weights, the Paasche method which uses current period weights, and the Fisher Ideal Index which takes the geometric mean of the Laspeyres and Paasche.
Maths in Our Daily Life
Mathematics is essential in daily life and has a long history of practical applications. It first arose from needs to count and measure, and early civilizations used math for tasks like construction and accounting. Over millennia, mathematical concepts and applications have expanded greatly. Today, areas like statistics, calculus, and other quantitative fields inform domains from politics to transportation to resource management. Many people misunderstand math as only involving formulas, but it really involves abstract problem-solving and modeling real-world situations. Core topics in daily use include commercial math, algebra, statistics, and financial calculations for tasks like budgeting and investing.

- 6. The climax is when Adeline Yen Mah faces many obstacles but doesn’t give up. For example, she is constantly put down by her family as they always say she is unlucky.
- 7. Well the story starts when this little girl called Adeline Yen Mah is born. It is unfortunate as her mother has passed away and thus is considered bad luck due to the incident. Her brothers and sisters all do not make her feel part of the family, making her strive to overcome this. There were many obstacles she overcame. She was the poor and tortured one being left out many times by her sisters and brothers like when there were ducklings for them to choose as pets they gave her the ugliest and last duckling. Or when they took away her sweet pastry though all of them had an equal share. Luckily she has her grandmother, they both can talk about anything under the sun.
- 8. The interesting thing is that Adeline’s step mother’s sister cared for her although she was not really related to her by blood. She was also fair, like when they were sleeping and there was only one bed, they decided fairly who will sleep on the bed and when. Thus, her story continues with many touching stuff.
