Solving an equation for D 2008-12-18
Darrin pose la question :
In his finance class, my son is being asked to take the following equation and solve for "D":

1 / [1 - (1 + D/12)^T] = (1 / D) * [((12*B) / (P*T)) + Y + ((12N * Z) / (360T))] - [(12Z) / (360T)] * F

The volume of a feed hopper 2008-12-18
John pose la question :
I need to calculate the volume of a feed hopper, and I'm not sure how to break it down. The top of the hopper is 36" x 36", it is 30" deep, and ends at a 6" x 6" plate. One side of the hopper is straight top to bottom, of course tapering on two sides to meet at the plate. The other three sides angle down at about 75 degrees. I need to determine the cubic foot volume of this hopper (it is used for ground coffee) so I can configure a vibrator to knock down residual grounds. Thanks.

The 2 rightmost digits 2008-12-18
Peter pose la question :
Is there a pattern for the 2 rightmost digits of a power? For example, one problem for a math competition was what are the 2 rightmost digits of 3^1993?

Coefficient of variation 2008-12-17
JR pose la question :
I have read your reponses regarding the coeffcient of variation (CV) and find them very useful. I still have a question about interpreting the CV. Let's that the CV of sample #1 is 3% and that of sample #2 is 12%. Can I report that Sample #2 is 4 times more variable than sample #1? Thanks in advance!

Solve for x 2008-12-16
Melissa pose la question :
I have a test tomorrow and I'm hoping you can help me before then. I can never seem to solve the "RESOLVE X" problems, or in french resous pour x/
They look like this. 3x+2\6=2x-5\3. I only understand NOTHING from that. Another equation is 2(x+1)=3(x+2).

Surface area of an irregular shape 2008-12-15
Patrick pose la question :
An irregular shaped object (lets say a gold nugget, not smooth with pockets) can have its volume determined by comparing its mass in water.

Is there any method or means or anything that could be used to determine the surface area of this shape? Whether that be theoretical mathematical formula to using a special infrared technique,etc...

The problem I foresee is that the component parts cannot be divided into smaller geometric shapes. I would propose an answer although I don't know if it is a good one: A liquid material that dries super-thin, but has a very specific and easily determined volume/mass is coated over the object. Measure the mass difference between the beginning sample of fluid and the mass after the object has been coated. Then determine the surface area of the same mass of fluid in a geometric shape. Is this feasible?
