Mr.Carter is very cautious 2003-11-26
Bob pose la question :
Mr.Carter is very cautious. He decides to invest in only three stocks: one low stock, one high stock, one medium stock. Given that the expected annual yields are 6% for low stock, 7% for medium stock, and 8% for high stock, he wants his investment in medium stock to be half of his total investment in low and high stock. How much should I invest in each type fo stocks to expect a total annual return fo $650 form my investments?

Markup, profit and margin 2003-11-24
Ali pose la question :
I have question regarding Margins, Markups and Profit Purchase price = $ 10.00
Margin or Markup ?? = 40 %
Therefore Selling Price = 10/0.6 = $ 16.67
Profit ? = (16.67-10)/10 *100 = 66.67%
or is the profit = (16.67-10)/16.67*100 = 40 %
Can you please clarify What is Margin, Markup and Profit

An octagon shaped bed frame 2003-11-23
Trish pose la question :
My son and I are making an octagon shaped bed frame. We are going nuts trying to figure out what angle to cut the boards to make an outline of an octagon. It seems that the 8 inside angles of the 8 "corners" are 120*, but what is the angle that the 2x6 wood should be cut so that they will angle together to form the outline of the octagon?

AB/AP=AP/PB 2003-11-20
James pose la question :
My name is James McBride. I'm having a difficult time with a pre calculus problem, which goes as follows: "show that AB/AP=AP/PB is equal to (1+5^1/2)/2 (one plus the sqaure root of five with the sum divided by two. I can't do the square root sign, sorry.) I have tried to solve for PB in terms of the other varialbles and then work the quadratic equation. THAT DOES NOT WORK!!!! I am befuddled. Please help me. I am a student of secondary level.

Four digit numbers 2003-11-20
Rob pose la question :
Hello, I sure hope you can answer this question. I got into a discussion at work about how many possible combinations there are for a four digit number using the numbers 0 through 9. This was in reference to a discussion about the lottery. I said there was only 10,000 possible combinations. My friend said that there was many times more, but he could not remember how to figure it out. The answer and the formula would be greatly appreciated.

Des tables trigonométriques 2003-11-20
Jean-Jacques pose la question :

Je suis à la retraite et en train de mettre à jour mes connaissances en trigonométrie.

On peut facilement trouver les rapports entre les côtés d'un triangle droit ayant des angles secondaires de 30, 45 et 60 degrés, mais comment s'y prend-on pour calculer les rapports entre les côtés d'un triangle droit ayant des angles secondaires de valeurs intermdiaires. En d'autre mot, comment s'y prend-on pour faire le calcul détaillé des tables trigonométriques.

J'ai cherché en vain dans divers textes de géométrie la réponse à cette question. Merci à l'avance pour l'attention que vous porterez à ma requête.
