  1. Ms. Sue was a kind, gentle, and good person that I had the privilege of knowing through this webpage. I have been a tutor for about 12 years on here, and was always impressed by the patient and competent way she helped students.

  2. Peter, I found your question interesting and have been messing with it for a while

  19. At 11:37 and at 12:24 you posted the same question

  23. This is "college" math?

    Anyway... let the smaller number be x, and the larger number be x+8 then x + x+8 < 12 this is easy to solve, let me know what you got. the sum of two numbers is less than 12. The second number is 8 more than the first.what are the

  24. Set it up this way:

    Let the number of students be x let the number of rows be y then the number of students per row is x/y This results in 2 equations from your data: (x/y+1)(y-2) = x and (x/y-1)(y+3 = x Solve these two, gets a bit messy at first but it

    Leo, a similar prediction is often made about arithmetic since the invention of the calculator. in one of Isaac Asimov writings they discover a man who is actually able to perform an operation like

  29. You did not watch your units, you are mixing inches and feet

    Your equation should have been 1/2 = 1/di + 1/120 (I changed 10 feet to 120 in) solve this for di and you get 2.03 inches. Please help me I am so confused I think I am losing my mind. The focal

  31. On an x-y grid, label them N-S, E-W, draw a line from the origin to the right and label it 425 (you are going East)

    From the end of that line draw a vertical line upwards of 40 (you are going North) Use an approximate scale, realizing that 425 is just about

  32. I hope that the diagram I have drawn for myself matches the one in your question.

    I have a triangle with sides 20 and 10 and an angle of 120º between them By the cosine law I found the third side to be 26.4575. You said you found the maginitude, I hope we

  33. I don't know the physics behind Snell's Law, but I can do the math

    Snell's Law says sin(angle of incidence)/sin(angle of reflection) = refractive index since you know the two angles... sin45/sin27 = refractive index =1.5575365 so for an angle of refection

  34. Please take a look at DEVON's trig equation at 9:14

    I must be missing something obvious. If the second had been 3sin 2x it would be a straight forward question. The way it stands I was able to "reduce" it to the equation 8sin^4 x - 8sin^2 x + 3sin x + 2 = 0

  36. how about (5-3)x2 + 8(5-2) ?

    To me these are really just "puzzles" and do not actually require much mathematical ability. The best and often only way is to by 'trial and error'. what is the rule when grouping numbers? example I want the answer to be 28. 5 -

  37. I trust you know about y = mx + b

    Realize that when you are given the x or y intercepts, you are really just given two points, in your case the points (4,0) and (0,-2) So it is easy to find the slope, (-2-0)/(0-4) = 1/2 Take it from there Determine the

  38. Complimentary angles add up to 90º

    So translate the English into Math. if you let the unknown angle be x then "the measure of the compliment of the angle" -----> 90-x "10 degrees less than three times the measure of the angle" ----> 3x - 10 so....... 90-x

  39. according to my interpretation of the question in October they would collect:

    the 10% of the August sales = .10($10,000) the 20% of the Sept sales = .20($20,000) and the 70% of the Oct sales = .70($30,000) Do the arithmetic and add them up A project has an

  41. I assume the poster was trying to type "oblique asymptote"

    from your answer of 3x+2 + 7/(x-1) we can conclude that there is an oblique linear asymptote of y = 3x + 2, and a vertical asymptote at x = 1 for the original function given. how do u find obblique

    The post below this one by TONY obviously refers to a previous posting of his 8 steps below. I know the URL has a number behind each particular post, and each post can be identified by a title and

  43. let f(m)=m^3 + 3m^2 + 3m + 1

    notice f(-1) = 0, so m+1 is a factor. Using division, the answer is m^2 + 2m + 1 which factors once more to (m+1)(m+1) so you have (m+1)^3 = 0 and then m = -1 Are you familiar with Pascal's triangle? Did you notice the pattern

  44. There is no function equation for the Fibonacci numbers, you have to use a Recursion formula.

    F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n>2 and F(1)=1, F(2)=1 what is the equation for the fibonacci sequence

    Triangles with an angle greater than 90º are called obtuse, triangles with 3 different angles, thus 3 different sides, are called scalene. Some triangles, such as yours, can be both obtuse and scalene, but a triangle with angles of 120°, 30°, 30° would
