Base 5 arithmetic 2008-03-06
Jana pose la question :
Hello, my name is Jana, i have asked a question here previously about how to count in base-5. I am happy now because i can convert any number now and it is very easy for me. The only thing i am having trouble with is understanding how to do a maths sum or times base-5 numbers. it is just a bit hard for me. So do you think you could explain how to do a sum in base-5 and how to do a multiplication sum. Please help...Thankyou Jana!!

Two points moving on a straight line 2008-03-06
laura pose la question :
Particle A travels at constant speed of 1.0ms-1 in straight line, passing particle B, at which time particle B beings traveling with constant acceleration of 0.2ms-2 until reaching Particle A.
What equations represent the displacement of particle A and particle B measure from the point they first pass?
How long does it take for particle B to catch up with particle A?
What is the speed of particle B when reaching particle A?
What distance have both particles traveled from where they first pass to where they meet again?
Calculate the displacement of both particle A and B at 2 second intervals between t=0s and t=12s?

A dog and a fire hydrant 2008-03-06
Brittany pose la question :
A bulldog is walking east along Main St. at a speed of 4 miles per hour. He wants to get to a fire hydrant on a parallel street. Initially, the bearing to the hydrant is south 62 degrees east. After 20 minutes, the bearing is south 41 degrees east. If the bulldog continues his walk, what is the closest he will be to the hydrant?

Polar coordinates 2008-03-05
kumi pose la question :
2.Sketch the graph of r=(2)/(1-sinθ). Make sure you show a complete chart demonstrating how you arrive at your sketch, and sketch the graph neatly and clearly with proper labeling.
b. change the equation above to cartesian coordinates and identify the type of graph.
c.explain which coordinate system gives an easier function to graph and why
d.find a function of the form r=f(θ) for a circle centered at (8,π/2) and with the point (0,0) lying on the circle

Some three-digit numbers 2008-03-05
Toni pose la question :
The following is a word pattern problem listed on my son's homework: write a set of three-digit numbers that contain one odd number and three even numbers. This confused the both of us because that would make his number a four digit number, right? please respond. Thanks.

Parametric equations 2008-03-05
kumi pose la question :
I have made a picture of a football pass 45 degrees with 30yds and height of 7ft and 4ft. But I am just stuck there. I have stared at the worksheet for soo long. I have no idea how to solve this, and I don't even know where this is going (I don't understand how parametric equations work). Can you help me with this problem?

1.The quarterback of a football team releases a pass at a height, h, of 7ft above the playing field, and the football is caught by a reciever at a height of 4ft, 30yds directly downfield. The pass is released at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal with an initial velocity of vo. The parametric equations for the position of the football at time t are given, in general, by x(t)=(vo cosθ)t and y=h+(vo sinθ)t-16t^2.

a. find the initial velocity of the football when it is released
b. write the specific set of parametric equations for the path of the football
c.use a graphing calculator to graph the path of the football and approximate its maximum height
d. find the time the reciever has to position himself after the quarterback releases the football

I need to level a 18ft x 21ft area that is very uneven. 2008-03-04
Shelia pose la question :
I need to level a 18ft x 21ft area that is very uneven. I have used a line level to determine the number of inches at various places in the area. This varies from 1 inch to 15 inches in order to bring the garden area up level. How do I calculate cubic yards so I can order topsoil for the area. If needed, I have the number of inches needed for each square yard area.
