nikos pose la question :
Hi, I would really appreciate any help in this:
"Suppose you have a triangle (any triangle, no hypotheses allowed), let's call it ABC. You know the coordinates of the two vertexes, A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2) and the area of the triagnle, let's call it D. Can you find the third vertex of this triangle based on these facts?"

Thanks a lot!

A reverse PST calculation 2010-09-23
Manning pose la question :
Hi, I'm a manufacturing contractor in Saskatoon. The way to calculate PST for us is using total contract amount x 70% then 5%. For example, contract amount of $100 x 70% x 5% = $3.5 (PST). The subtotal is using contract amount + PST. $100 + $3.50 = $103.50.

If you only know the subtotal is $103.50 including PST, how do you reverse calculation to get the contract amount?

Thank you very much for your help.

A taxi ride 2010-09-22
Jack pose la question :
A taxi ride costs you $2 for the first km and 10 cents for each tenth of a km thereafter. Sketch a graph of the total cost $C(x) for a ride of xkm, for 0 < x < 2. Hint: The graph is not smooth.

How will I start this question off? I tried the table of values method, and then graphed it, but it comes out as smooth,

Finding a Number Pattern 2010-09-22
Cheryl pose la question :
Sunshine Math - 4, Jupiter 1, question 4 which is (a, b, c & d). I am wanting to know question 4d. Think about the following list of number pairs. Three is the first number of a pair, and 8 is the second. 3 - 8 4 - 11 5 - 14 6 - 17 and so forth Question d. - If a number "n" is the first number, what is the second number? I don't know how my son should answer this question. It sounds like it should be a formula but how does he get to it and how do I explain it to him. Looking forward to your help. Cheryl
