How many marbles are Red and how many marbles are White? 2007-03-13
Angie pose la question :
A jar has 16 marbles in it. Most of the marbles are Red and the rest are White. Two marbles are taken out of the jar at the same time. It is equally probable that two marbles are of the same colour as the two marbles of different colour (that is the probability that they are both red or both white is the same as they are different). How many marbles are Red and how many marbles are White? Could anyone help me with the above question? Best regards, Angie

Kicking a field goal 2007-03-13
san pose la question :
A football player attempts a field goal by kicking the football. The ball follows the path modelled by the equation h= -4.9^2+10t+3, where h is the height of the ball above the ground in metres, and t is the time since the ball was kicked in seconds. *the ball must clear the uprights for the field goal to count. The uprights are approximately 5 m high. How long does the ball stay above 5 m in height?

A roadway over a river 2007-03-12
Taranjeet pose la question :
My teacher has given us bridge with only one measurement. From the river to the roadway is 50 metres in length (vertically) The question he wants us to find out is. What is the distance between the vertical supports. He has said that: At a horizontal distance of 'x' metres from the foot of the arch the height of the arch, the height of the arch above the river 'h' metres is given by: h=-1/40(x squared) = 3x I don't understand how to find the distance between the support beams. Thank you

Permutations 2007-03-11
Meghan pose la question :
Hello, I'm working on the beginning of the combinatorics unit in Math 12 in BC. We just looked at using the nPr or n!/(n-r)! formula.

My questions for homework that I didn't quite understand how to do were:

Solve each equation for n. 1) nP2 = 90
2) 6Pn = 720


I managed to do these in my head, but I'm not sure how to solve these algebraically.

Thanks for all your help! -Meghan
