History

Which function benefitted from Al-Khwarizmi's foundational work on algebra when calculating astronomical movements?

A)Determining planetary orbital positions
B)Improving smelting furnace designs
C)Calculating gear ratios of mills
D)Predicting projectile trajectory air resistance

💡 Explanation

Determination of planetary positions relied on algebraic manipulation to solve equations derived from astronomical measurements; the algebraic mechanism allowed precise calculation, because astronomy required sophisticated numerical solutions for non-linear movement rather than simpler engineering problems.
