Erin pose la question :
Here's a few math problems that might drive a person insane ;) - If 2f(x) - 3f(1/x) = x^2 what is f(2)?
- What are the domain and range of the following relations?
- x^2 - 4y^2 = 25
- 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36
- The port of Swan Harbor is 200km away from Merry Town Inlet on a bearing of N50E from Merry Town. A ship leaves Merry Town at 8am and sails N15W at 15 km/h. At the same time, a second ship leaves Swan Harbour on a course of S80W at 20km/hour. How close, to the nearest km, are the two ships at 13:00?
- Prove the identity. 1+sinx + cosx/ 1-sinx + cosx = 1+sinx / cosx

Kathy pose la question :
- Zachary wanted to run the shore-to shore marathon next month, a 26 mile race from one side of the island where he lived to the other. He decided to work up to 26 miles by running five days a week for the next five weeks. Each day he'd run one mile longer than he did the day before, except for the first day of the week, when he'd run the same number of miles he ran on the last day of the previous week. He wanted his last two practice runs to be 26 and 27 miles long.
How many miles would he have to run on his first practice run?

What length of bookshelf will the encyclopedias take up?
