Clarende Duby pose la question :
I have seen single repeating decimals for ex. 1/3 = 0.3 with the dot above the 3 to represent the repeating decimal. Then, there is the more common form of the bar over the top of the repeating number or group of numbers (called the period?). Which notation is correct?

Some prime conjectures 2000-12-24
Tarrasita pose la question :
I was given some homework to investigate the following conjectures on prime numbers

1) There is at least one prime between consecutive square numbers.

2) Every prime except 2 and 3 is of the form 6n+1 where n is a natural number.

3) Any odd prime which is of the form 4n+1 is equal to the sum of two perfect squares.

A lampost and its shadow 2000-12-24
Laura pose la question :
A lamppost line EC casts a shadow line AC. A 30 cm ruler line DB has been moved from A so that it's shadow falls just within the shadow of the lamppost.
  1. Suppose the length of the ruler's shadow is 42 cm. What is the slope of the imaginary line AE?

  2. Suppose the lamppost's shadow is 15 m. long. How tall is the lamppost?

Calculer la hauteur de chute de cette pierre 2000-12-16
Marcus pose la question :
Une pierre tombe au fond d'un puit, à 5 secondes on entend un son (de la pierre). Calculer la hauteur de chute de cette pierre en tenant compte de la vitesse du son = 340m.s-1

Il faut savoir que pour la chute libre v= g.t ; h = 1/2 g.t2 ; v = 2g.h

g intensité du champs de pesanteur = 10 ; h hauteur de chute.

A Trapezium problem 2000-12-15
Ben pose la question :
A trapezium has a perimeter of 22cm. The 2 parallel sides are such that the length of one is three times the length of the other. The non-parallel sides are equal. If the distance between the parallel sides is 4cm, find the lengths of the 4 sides.
