Rates, percentages and units 2014-12-30
Kenneth pose la question :
Hello:

If percentages have no units, why are some percentages called rates, as in interest rate, or perhaps a tax rate of 7% as an example? A rate has units of different quantities.

I thank you for your reply.

The derivative using limits 2009-04-21
Kirstin pose la question :
I am trying to take the limit of f(x) = [f(x+h)-f(x)] / h If you try taking the limit by substituting the limiting value h=0, you get 0/0, which of course is not the right answer. You rewrite f(x+h)-f(x) so it has a factor of h in it, which you cancel with the h in the denominator before you substitute h=0. But I am not sure how to do this. Thanks.

The definition of the sine function 2007-11-22
Indrajit pose la question :
I need a explanation in this theory.......if sinθ = p/h...then
sin 90 deg. = p/h
or 1 = p/h
or p=h .....how can a perpendicular be equal to a hypotenuse.???

Trig functions for angles not between 0 and 90 degrees 2007-07-16
Tim pose la question :
My question: Why is the value of a trigonometric function, the same, for an angle over 90 degrees and its reference angle? How are the angle and its reference related? Do they both form a triangle that has equal sides?
Penny Nom lui répond.
Inclusive definitions 2005-12-14
Layla pose la question :

recently the solvable quandary of 5+5+5=550 came up (the question says that you have to put 1 straight line somewhere in the equation to make it true with out turning the "=" into a "not=" sign).

So two answers were put forward:
545+5=550 (the use of a line converting a + into a 4)
AND
5+5+5(less than or equal to)550

There is currently an argument about the second solution. The disagreement is about whether this sign can be used. One person is arguing that the "less than or equal to" sign defines that the number on the left is in the range 550 and below. The other is saying that since the number (which is clearly defined with no variables) can never equal 550, then the "less than or equal to" sign cannot be used in this case.

Which one is the correct definition?

Is a square a rectangle? 2004-11-21
Carol pose la question :
I am a teacher. In an FCAT sixth grade review test, there was a question to the students to draw a square and then they referred to it as a rectangle.

What is the definition that makes a rectangle a square that can be taught to the students without confusing them.

Can a square be a rhombus? 2003-03-04
Beth pose la question :
Can a square be a rhombus? Some sources say yes, some say no. Some sources define a rhombus as a quadrilateral and parallelogram with equal sides, but without right angles. Some sources say a square is a special case of a rhombus. Clarity, please!

Is a square a rectangle? 2000-02-15
Jaireh pose la question :
This is something that aroused a debate in class: A rectangle was defined as a parallelogram with 4 right angles. A square was defined as a parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles.

I need written and conclusive proof that some rectangles can or cannot be squares. I tried insisting that some of them can.. but without proof nobody will listen.

Isosceles triangles 1999-10-12
Amber pose la question :
In defining the types of triangles, our class was stumped by a question asked by one of the student. Maybe you could help. The definition of an equilateral triangle is a triangle with three congruent sides. The definiton of an isosceles triangle is a triangle with at LEAST two congruent sides. The question is, if an isosceles triangle only requires at Least two of the sides to be congruent, could an equilateral triangle be called an isosceles triangle?
Penny Nom, Walter Whiteley and Chris Fisher lui répond.
