Simplify the expression |
2012-02-12 |

Christy pose la question : Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far
s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Scale factor |

Riley pose la question : I have a math problem, and a big test coming up on Friday or Thursday (my teacher hasn't decided yet.) I need help understanding how
I would do this problem. Here it is: they wanted me to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle when they only give me the scale factor. I've
delt with scale factors before, but this is quite confusing. I have done the scale factor way by having a rectangle that maybe has a width of 10 and a
height of 20, and I needed to find what the scale factor would be for a rectangle with the width of 5 and a height of 10. I know that they scale factor
would be 2, right? But this just gives me the scale factor, and I have to FIND the perimeter and area. Hopefully you can get back to me tonight. Harley Weston lui répond. |

Primes and square roots |
2001-06-14 |
|
Paul pose la question : I have a bit of a math problem. It has to do with determining if a very large number is a prime. One method entails dividing the number by every smaller prime number. If any divide into it, it's not a prime. This would be a big job if the number was something like 400 digits long. Another way I read about was to take the square root of the number and test all the primes less than its square root. The explanation went like this: "When a number is divided by another number that is greater than its square root, the result is a number smaller than the square root. For example, the square root of 36 is 6. Dividing 36 by 2, a smaller number than 6, gives 18, a number that is larger than the square root. To prove that 37 is prime it is only necessary to divide it by primes less than 6, since if it had a prime factor greater than 6, it would have to have one less than 6 as well." I understand the explanation, up to the last sentence. I fail to see the underlying logic. Why if a prime factor exists below the square does one have to exist above the square too? The number 40 can be divided by the prime 2, a number below its square root, but no other primes can do this above its square root. Have I missed something? What's the logic here?

Joe Kron pose la question : Why is it never shown how to calculate the value of 4x4 (or larger size) deteminants by the diagonal multiply methods that are generally shown for 2x2 and 3x3 determinants?

Anyway the method always shown for order 4+ is called "reduction by minors" which is not the answer to this question. Walter Whiteley lui répond. |
