Is c relatively prime to (n.p)? |
2007-03-02 |
|
Andrew pose la question : Please could you help me with a small mathematics problem?! I've put = the problem into three parts but it isn't really three problems; just = one! Given:- {[(n.p)^p] / [c + (n.p)]} =3D "an integer" (where c > = (n.p); c and n are integers, n is even and p is an odd prime number) Can one prove that c cannot be relatively prime to (n.p)? { i.e. c = must have the factor (n.p) ?} If so, is the converse also true? {i.e. If c is relatively prime to = (n.p), then [c + (n.p)] cannot be a factor of (n.p)^p ?} Lastly but similarly, if c is relatively prime to a and c > a > = (n.p) ; (c - a) > (n.p) **; and c is not relatively prime to (n.p) = would it be true that (c - a) cannot be a factor (n.p)^p ? I hope my question makes sense? Penny Nom lui répond. |

How many yards of concrete? |
2007-02-28 |
|
jeremy pose la question : I need to figure how many yards of concrete to use. I work for an asphalt company, and we are expanding into concrete. Currently we measure everything in sq. ft. So we came up with 6,960 sq ft of concrete to remove and replace. Currently there is 6" of concrete, and 2" of bedding material. We would like to replace only 4.5" of concrete, the rest in bedding. Here is how I figured, am I correct. 6,960 Sq ft (to simplify I made the Sq ft 350 X 20 ) 350 ft X 20 ft X .33 (1/3 ft or 4") = 2,310 cubic feet 2,310 cb ft / 27 = 85.55 cubic yards Is this correct?

Tamara pose la question : I was told to make a graph to help solve this question. I was given two equations. One was x-2y=3 and the other was 2x+y=-4. We have to change it to the equation of the line format. Then we graph the line and find the point where they meet. I've been trying to do that, but when i check the answer, It turns out wrong. It's meeting in the wrong spot. I need help please. Penny Nom lui répond. |
