Direct and inverse Variation |
2007-04-03 |
|
liz pose la question : how do you tell if an equation varies Directly or Inversely? ex.
x= 2y or
xy+12=3
i know that if you have three numbers (x. y, z) that it varies jointly but how do you tell if it is Inverse or Direct?
Thanks for the Help!

What is the intensity 5m below the surface? |
2007-03-31 |
|
david pose la question : I have this question which I am supposed to set it up and solve as a differential equation. I know how to solve the diffrential equation but I am having hard time understanding this question. Here is the question: The intensity of light in the ocean decreases the deeper you dive. In fact, the rate at which the intensity decreases is proportional to the current intensity. Setup the corresponding differential equation and solve for I(Y), the intensity I as a function of current intensity Y. If the light intensity 2m below the surface is 25% of the intensity at the surface, what is the intensity 5m below the surface. Can you please explain to me what does it mean by current intensity and how do I set this equation up. Thanks for the help. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A "claw setting" for a gemstone |
2007-03-30 |
|
Stephanie pose la question : I'm trying to make a cone out of a flat sheet of metal for a "claw setting" for a gemstone.
The cone must be 8mm wide at the top and 11mm long tapering to a point. But because the prongs must be cut out of the top the cone should not start to taper for a length of 3mm from that top 8mm. The 3mm prong is then bent over the 8mm stone. That probably doesn't make enough sense. But I don't know how to explain it. If it helps a claw setting is the very common prong setting for engagement rings or earrings. Please help as soon as possible as this is a commissioned piece for someone and I'm running out of time. I don't remember any math really from high school so please make the instructions really easy to follow. Thank You!! Penny Nom lui répond. |
