Multinomial theorem 2001-11-28
Murray pose la question :
Could you please state and explain the multinomial theorem (I already know the binomial theorem etc, to give you an idea of where i am)
Harley Weston lui répond.
Slope intercept form 2001-11-27
A student pose la question :
what is slope intercept form?
Penny Nom lui répond.
Numerical problems 2001-11-27
Yossi pose la question :
I am preparing a 45 minutes class for K-12 students. The problem is to show that algebraic equivalent expressions are not always numerically equivalent. In particular I would like to show one of these dangers: cancellation that occurs during the subtraction of nearly equal quantities. Do you have a good reference I could use to prepare my class. In particular to be able to show some examples and how one can avoid this type of error. I also would like to show examples with practical use. I tried to look up in the web but did not find anyhting appropriate.

Original value 2001-11-27
Lisa pose la question :
We are trying to find the original value of a product marked up by 10%. What is the formula to determine the original value?
Penny Nom lui répond.
Dual spaces 2001-11-26
Hoda pose la question :
In the book "Linear Functional Analysis" from Epstein there is a proof (page 116) of the following theorem:

The dual space of Lp is equal to Lq.

Later, it is stated as a theorem without proof that

for 1 <= p < +infinite, The dual space of lp is equal to lq.

Ratios and proportions 2001-11-26
Adam pose la question :
I am doing a project where I come to this website and ask a math expert about a certain topic. My topic is ratios and proportions. Can you please tell me what your job is and how you use ratio's and proportions in your job. Can you also please explain what ratios and proportions are.

A health club 2001-11-25
Maria pose la question :
A health club with a membership of 650 people operates a running track and an indoor swimming pool. A survey of the membership indicates that 68% use the running track, 44% use the swimming pool, and 8% use neither. If a member is chosen at random, what is the prbability that the member uses:

a) Both the track and the pool?

b) Only the track?


Penny Nom lui répond.
L'Hopital's Rule 2001-11-25
Mike pose la question :
I'm a high school senior. I'm in ap calculus and was wondering if you know the proof of L'Hopital's Rule? Our teacher said he has never been able to find it in a math book and was unable to derive it himself.
Claude Tardif lui répond.
Undetermined coefficients 2001-11-22
Hoda pose la question :
The equation is:

y" - 2y' + y = t et + 4

We need to use The method of Undetermined coefficients. I have tried assuming that the solution is Atet+Bet+C, but all I get is C=4 and I tried (At2+Bt+C)et+D, but again I get 0=0 when I calculate the first and second derivatives, so i get no information on the constants. Any suggestions?


Harley Weston lui répond.
Ratios 2001-11-21
Mike pose la question :
Simplify these ratios.

7 1/4 inches to 2 feet.

$0.02 per $1.75


Peny Nom lui répond.
Matrix 2001-11-21
Hoda pose la question :
I have a question about matrix multiplication; well, actually, matrix division. I am assuming that matrices are divided the same as they are multiplied; that is, row by column. But what happens if you have to divide by zero? How does this affect the resulting matrix?
Patrick Maidorn and Penny Nom lui répond.
A tangent line 2001-11-21
A student pose la question :
write an equation of the line tangent to the graph of

ey + ln(xy) = 1 + e at (e,1)

Harley Weston lui répond.
A hypercube 2001-11-20
Ace pose la question :
Can I get a picture of a hypercube
Patrick Maidorn lui répond.
Rewriting and evaluating formulas 2001-11-19
A conserned mother pose la question :
Due to the wide range of temperatures experienced in Canada, engineers who construct roads must allow for expansion and contraction of the road surface. The following formula is used to calculate the amount of expansion E to allow for: E= kL(T-t), where k is the constant of expansion for the road surface. L is the length of the section of highway in metres. T is the temperature of the air in degrees Celsius. t is the temperature, in degress Celsius, at which the section of the highway was constructed.
Walter Whiteley lui répond.
Cardinality of sets 2001-11-19
Tania pose la question :
  1. Show that the cardinality of P(X) (the power set of X) is equal to the cardinality of the set of all functions from X into {0,1}.

  2. Show that (the cardinality of the natural numbers set) |N| = |NxNxN|.

  3. Show that the cardinality of the set of prime numbers is the same as the cardinality of N+

Walter Whiteley lui répond.
