100% on two tests 2000-02-01
Craig and Chelsea Bruzzone pose la question :
A class of 35 students took a math test and a science test. 12 students got 100% on the math test. 9 students got 100% on the science test. There were 19 students who made less than 100% on both tests. How many students made 100% on both tests?

Names of the polygons 2000-01-29
Janemath pose la question :
I have been doing research on the names of polygons with 11 to 20 sides. I have found conflicting names for some of them . for example 18 sided-octadecagon and octokaidecagon. 11sided-undecagon and hendecagon. Why is this? Is one more correct than another? Or are they equally acceptable?

Two problems 2000-01-29
D. J. Anthony pose la question :

Hi, I am taking a course "math for elementary teachers" and I have two problems.

  1. How thick is a sheet of paper in your textbook.
  2. A little island has a population of 1,000 people. It doubles every 30 years. What will the population be in 30 years?, in 60 years?, when will it be over one million?

Probability, graph theory and VLSI testing 2000-01-27
Valentin Muresan pose la question :
I am postgraduate student of Dublin City University, Ireland, in the field of VLSI Testing. I am currently working on some heuristics and I need a probability formula. I want to get an expert's point of view in my matter. Say there is an initial list of so called tests: T1, T2, T3, ..., Tn Every test element Ti of the above list has a list of compatibility (incompatibility), which includes all the elements (tests) from the initial list, the Ti test is compatible (incompatible) with. For example, say the initial list is: {T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10} and the compatibility lists of these elements (tests) are:

Quadratics 2000-01-27
Lori pose la question :

Hi my name is Lori. I'm a student, in the 11th grade.I have a problem in quadratic functions. I don't know how to get the numbers into the problem and then how to do the problem. here is one problem the rest are sort of similar to it... y=2x squared. If I were to find out how to get the (x,y) answers then I could graph it but as I said I can't find the numbers to go into the problem.

Also in the equation g: x arrow to y = -x + 4..... how would you know weather it is or isn't a quadratic equation????

Euclidean Math puzzle 2000-01-24
Margaret Matthews pose la question :

(Check out this web-site: Simeon's Triangle Puzzle )

I have tried to figure out how this could be, because everything I know about it tells me it can't be. However, I can't seem to make it NOT work.

Two right angle triangles. They are each cut up into four identical pieces. In the first, all the pieces fit together so that there are NO empty spaces; in the second, presumed to be identical in size to the first, the pieces are slightly rearranged, and now, there IS a space in the triangle.
