Project justification

Mathematics and history are branches that are related since both
are fundamental in the study of the roots of the human being.

While language and foreign language are branches that generate a

globalization of the message that is intended, likewise, they intervene in
the analysis of the communicative development of humans since remote
times.

It sounds easy to talk about a family basket or basic basket, but we

must be interested in the background that it entails. When we talk about a
family basket, we are referring to essential foods that every human being
consumes on a daily basis, which have been cultivated and harvested by
people since prehistoric times, for work and survival.

Currently, we know that it is possible to get these foods in different

points of sale such as markets, stores and squares and all this
simultaneously generates many examples of the mathematical application,
ranging from the purchase process with basic operations to issues of price
inflation, product profitability, supply and demand, deficit or surplus that
require a detailed analysis and resolution of mathematical and algebraic
problems in which concepts of functions, equations, inequalities, matrices
and others are applied.
 Introduction
It’s valid to start by talking about the diet of the Aztec civilization, their
diet included a wide variety of vegetables thanks to the constant
development of agriculture. Many of the vegetables that they grew and ate,
such as tomatoes, pumpkins, limes, avocados or chili peppers, have been
adopted in today's gastronomy.
This project has the purpose of integrating four subjects
establishing a relationship between them around the theme of the basic In addition to vegetables, the Aztec diet was based on four key foods

concepts, phrases, verbs and words in English. Monthly inflation in January 2023, compared to December 2022, was
0.12%. Annual price inflation for January 2023, compared to January 2022,
reached 3.12%; As a reference, in January 2022 it was 2.56%. Finally, in
January 2023, the cost of the Basic Family Basket (CFB) was located at
USD 764.71, while the monthly family income of a typical household was
USD 840.00, which represents 109.85% of the cost of the CFB (INEC,
2023).
 For its part, mathematics intervenes and is related in such a way that it
is necessary to apply basic mathematics in situations that range from the
budget for the purchase of food to a random situation of economizing and
saving monthly money on food. For this, the project seeks to link algebraic
concepts such as functions and matrices in the execution of an analysis
regarding the basic family basket and a possible structured plan either for
food merchants talking about prices, product supply and demand, seasonal
sales effectiveness index, deficit and surplus or for families in terms of
savings, inflation, monthly shopping planning, food savings and other aspects
that are part of the background of the basic family basket in the country for
those who grow and sell these products and who consume them.
For example, if we talk about price inflation, which is a common
economic event in the country, a mathematical analysis is deepened that
intervenes in the study of the prices that each product takes according to the
percentage of inflation, it is here that the authorities analyze and regulate
convenient prices for sellers and consumers under the percentage criteria
and with the intention of not having a major impact on the Ecuadorian
economy.
Algebraic functions are those whose correspondence rule is an
algebraic expression, being at the same time a function that satisfies a
polynomial equation whose coefficients are in turn polynomials (Pérez, 2010).
So, the link is that the graph of a linear function could represent
inflation, since this is frequent and it is common for it to happen, that is,
that prices increase, therefore, there will not be a decrease in the line.
While the graph of a semi-parabolic function could represent a deficit or
surplus of some food, for example, the current situation of products such
as sugar due to the El Niño phenomenon. A set of functions is the ideal
representation of supply and demand for a product, the sales effectiveness
index of one or more products, which refers to how profitable they were
during a certain period, or the constant price changes that can occur in a
product depending on the season.
In the same way, matrices are considered a very important tool for
algebra, since they allow data storage and handling. Therefore, it is linked
in such a way that the use of matrices is applied in aspects such as
registering how much food I bought in a given period, for example: in
January two buckets of eggs are bought, in February three buckets and so
on until at the end of a quarter, semester or even a year, an analysis can
be carried out that reflects how much egg was consumed during that time
and seek a resolution to reduce the consumption of that product if
necessary.
 It could also be used to determine where it is more
convenient to buy my CFB products, for example: in the market a
liter of oil costs 2.80, in the store it costs 3.25 the same liter and
in a supermarket or grocery store it costs 3.00 a liter, then with
this training and taking into account criteria such as the quality of
the product, the consumer will be able to establish a fixed and
convenient place to purchase products from the family basket.
