Finding the Speed of a Truck 2008-09-08
Rita pose la question :
A state trooper is hidden 30 feet from a highway. One second after a truck passes, the angle theta between the highway and the line of observation from the patrol car to the truck is measured. (a) If the angle measures 15 degrees, how fast is the truck traveling? Express the answer in feet per second and miles per hour.

Pages in a Book 2008-09-08
Pandora pose la question :
Is there a easier way to explain to my child regarding "pages" problem - like when to add one? when to sub tract one? John read 46 pages in his new book. If he began reading at the top of page 33, on what page did he finish? and John needs to do 45 pages of problems in his workbook. He finished this assignment at the the bottom of page 99. On what gate did John begain? Thank you.

An associative binary operation 2008-09-08
Skye pose la question :
Suppose that * is an associative binary operation on a set S. Show that the set H={a E S such that a*x=x*a for all x E S} is closed under *. (We think of H as consisting of all elements of S that commute with every element in S.) Thanks!

Mixing watercolour paints 2008-09-07
bob pose la question :
So, I'm making a chart to help me mix watercolor paints. There are 25 different paints. Each paint will mix with another paint just 1 time. There is no need to mix red with blue, and then blue with red. Since the result is the same, we only need 1 combination of the 2 paints. And there is no need to mix red with red, so we can eliminate 25 combinations of the same paint.

Is this operation associative? 2008-09-06
Francesca pose la question :
Determine whether the binary operation * defined is commutative and whether * is associative * defined on Z by a*b = a-b\ I understand how to figure out if it's commutative, but I thought for a binary operation to be associative, it had to have at least three elements, so I don't know how to tell if this associative or not.
Penny Nom and Victoria West lui répond.
