Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2005-03-23
Jennifer pose la question :

Gasoline is stored in a tank which is a cylinder on its side. Height of fuel is "h" meters and the diameter is "d". The length is "l".

I need to find the amount of gas in the tank when the height is h and also to calculate the fraction of how full it is.

Also, the part I am really confused on is this one,
E(h/d) is the error of the function of h/d, when h/d is used to measure how full the tank is. For what value of h/d is the error maximal?

Expanding (x+2)(x+3) 2005-03-23
Rick pose la question :
The problem involves writing expressions, one in factored form and one in expanded form, for the area of a rectangle of sides x+2 and x+3. We've gotten as far as area = (x+2)(x+3). But I can't come up with the other expression.
