Nombres algebriques sur Q |
2002-04-11 |
|
Un eleve pose la question : On sait que le corps des nombres algebriques sur Q est algebriquement clos. A priori partant d'un polynome f a coefficients algebriques sur Q on devrait pouvoir un trouver un polynome g a coefficients rationnels dont une partie des racines est constituee de racines du premier. y-at-il un algorithme qui permet qui permet le passage de f a g ?

The number of points on a line is equivalent to that of a surface |
2011-03-24 |
|
Gary pose la question : I I was reading about how the number of points on a line is equivalent to that of a surface. This was done by taking any point on a line then taking alternating digits and making them as points on an x and y axis therefore points on a surface.The problem is as i see it if you just take a line then hold it over a surface you have just put the points on the line in a one to one correspondence with the points directly under it on the surface.Now you have all the rest of the surface which cannot be mapped onto the line since it is already used up.What am i missing?

Vertices, edges and faces |
2009-02-19 |

Deb pose la question : I have been reading the responses you have to whether or not a cone and cylinder have edges, and whether a cone has a vertex. I have also found differing answers in different books and websites. Your idea that it depends why we want to call it a vertex or edge is interesting but does not help the students next year when they have a different teacher who tells them that whatever decision I make is wrong! It also doesn't help them when they do the provincial testing. Does anyone know if EQAO considers them vertices or edges? I want to know because textbooks and provincial tests often ask the students to count the number of faces, edges, and vertices or to describe a solid by using these, or to identify a solid that they have described. We need to have consistency in what we are teaching! Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Surface area of an irregular shape |
2008-12-15 |
|
Patrick pose la question : An irregular shaped object (lets say a gold nugget, not smooth with
pockets) can have its volume determined by comparing its mass in
water.
Is there any method or means or anything that could be used to
determine the surface area of this shape? Whether that be theoretical
mathematical formula to using a special infrared technique,etc...
The problem I foresee is that the component parts cannot be divided
into smaller geometric shapes. I would propose an answer although I
don't know if it is a good one: A liquid material that dries super-thin, but
has a very specific and easily determined volume/mass is coated over
the object. Measure the mass difference between the beginning sample
of fluid and the mass after the object has been coated. Then determine
the surface area of the same mass of fluid in a geometric shape.
Is this feasible? Robert Dawson lui répond. |

Scaling a logo |
2008-10-20 |
|
Carl pose la question : Hello!
I hope that you can help me out here. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and can't come up with the answer logically.
I am a graphic designer by trade and need to figure out how large my client's logo should be.
The logo will need to be sized proportionally with the surface area of the page.
The logo will always be sized at 1.2938(w) x .75(h) on a letter size page (8.5 x 11).
My question is...
When you increase the size of the page (not always proportionally sized - dimensionally) how do figure out the NEW size of the logo.
I could have a page 20" x 40" or 30' x 4'... or ANY size really.
I believe I have the new surface area of the logo but can't find the new dimensions. Harley Weston lui répond. |

sunday pose la question : I'm doing a unit assessment, and there is something I don't understand. Now in my textbook, it says that surface area for a cube is different from a cylinder.

Intersection of perpendicular cylindrical surfaces |
2001-07-31 |

Charlie pose la question : Please consider two right circular cylinders, perpendicular one to the other, and of unlike radii in a 3 dimensional Cartesian space with mutually perpendicular x,y,z axes. If one cylinder is centered on the y axis with radius ra, and the other on the z axis with radius rb, then the expression for the first surface would be x2 + z2 = ra2, y = any number. Likewise, the second cylinder's surface would be x2 + y2 = rb2, z = any number. It is my intent to define the curve at the intersection of these two cylindrical surfaces. From sketching the conditions it appears that this intersection resembles an ellipse folded about its minor axis. Chris Fisher lui répond. |
