Rahul pose la question :
I am not able to visualize a solid given by inequalities as under (in cylindrical coordinate system)

I know that (can visualize) first 2 inequalities say it is a cylinder of infinite length.
It seems that third inequality poses the restriction to the height as well as it makes us to remove a cone.
But I just can not understand it clearly.
Thanks in advance!

Growth rates |

Bhavya pose la question :
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I read in the text book that the growth rates of these 3 functions are as below-
n2/3 < n/lg n < n0.99
I tried the substitution method to check the correctness of this. But it gets really tough as n increase.
Is there any simpler way to understand the correctness of these growth rates?
Thanks and Regards,

Mac pose la question :
Hi, I learnt set theory recently. My teacher and few of the weblink actually give different
definition for basic set. Can you please solve this ?
My teacher says, {1,2,3} and {1,1,2,3} is also set.
But in this link http://library.thinkquest.org/C0126820/setsubset.html it says,
"A set has no duplicate elements. An element is either a member of a set or not. It cannot be in the set twice."
and "{1, 2, 3} is the same as the set {1, 3, 2, 3, 1}"
My question is,
1. Whether duplicates allowed in the set or not ?
2. Even if the duplicates are allowed, {1,2,3} and {1,1,2,2,3,3} are same or not ?

An inequality involving triangles |
2001-06-12 |
|
Sandra pose la question :
The triangle inequality guarantees that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third. As a consequence, if x and y are legs of a right triangle, with x less than or equal to y, and z the hypotenuse, then x + y is greater than z, so x is greater than z - y. Under what circumstances will x is greater than 2(z - y) be true?

Hello My name is Carol I am a student teacher! I am asked to aproach these students on their problems. I am unsure of how to explain to them that these are wrong. Can you help? Thanks.

My name is Judy Gray. I guess the level on this would be about middle school, and I am an other!! I've been out of school for alot of years. I have a couple of questions, I guess. - What does an equal (=) with a slash through it mean? I put intersects, but I think I'm wrong.
- What is the symbol of a small n? Only the symbol is wider. Example: If A = {1.2} B = {2,3} then what is A (n) B? Can you make sense out of that?
- What is the equation of the y-axis?
