The spread of a rumor |
2012-04-09 |
|
Roohi pose la question : The function f(t) = a/(1+3e^(-bt)) has also been used to model the spread of a rumor. Suppose that a= 70 and b=3 0.2. Compute f(2), the percentage of the population that has heard the rumor after 2 hours. Compute f'(2) and describe what it represents. Compute lim t approaches infinity and describe what it represents. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A scale model of a city |
2010-05-18 |
|
Briana pose la question : Well I have to create a three dimensional city for a geometry project and it requires us to use precise scal factor and well we want to build a medium sized city but our teacher said that If we make or buildings to high our houses would look like super small compared to the tall building were trying to figure out if we were to build a medium sized city what scale factor should we use to make the houses big enough to see and design?

Modelling an underpass |
2010-05-11 |
|
Sue pose la question : An engineer at the Ministry of Transport is creating the plans for a new road. This road
will cross the path of a busy railway track so it will be necessary to built an underpass for this road.
This underpass will be in the shape of a parabolic arch.
The specifications include:
-the road must be at least 10 m wide and it must have shoulders at least 2 m wide on either
side of the road.
-there must be a clearance of 3 m over all areas of the road.
What quadratic equation could you use to model this bridge. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A model for the population of a Canadian city |
2010-04-07 |
|
jess pose la question : Let t^2 represent t-squared. The population of a Canadian City is modelled by: f(t) = 12t^2 + 800t + 40,000, where t is the time in years. When t= 0, the year is 2007.
a) According to the model, what will the population be in 2010?
B) In what year is the population predicted to be 300,000? Penny Nom lui répond. |

A 3D cardboard cupcake |
2010-01-30 |
|
Margaret pose la question : Hi,
I'm an art student and I'm attempting to build a 3D cupcake out of cardboard.
I want it to have a circular base of 8.5 inches and sides that are 7'' tall and slope outward so the top of the base is 29'.
The top with the frosting would be a detachable lid made from a cone with a base circumfrance of 29".
My problem is how to cut the side so they will slope out, I'm pretty sure there needs to be a curve, however I don't how to calculate the degree of it.
Ideally I want the sides to be a single piece of cardboard.
I also don't know how to calculate the arc needed to make a cone who's circular base's circumfrence is 29''.
Thanks,

The best linear model |
2001-07-29 |

Rebeca pose la question : I am a student (senior) summer hire working for Dept of the Army Resource Management. I've been assisting the Analyst in developing a model to predict training costs. The technique we used was simple linear regression. Now I've been asked for my opinion in choosing the best model I feel is better. I've chosen #1. Garrison Training but I want a second opinion before I give my choice. I've taken basic statistics last year in high school and will probably be taking more this year. Could you look over the information and give me a reason my choice would not be best? The dep variable-y, is Training costs in dolars per day. Model | Ind Variable- X | a | b | r | sy.x | 1. | Garrison Training | 126.31 | 0.982 | 0.9055 | 117.2 | 2. | Local Training | 212.16 | 1.37 | 0.7937 | 142.7 | 3. | Man Rig Area | 116.38 | 2.47 | 0.6481 | 175.6 | 4. | Major Training | 346.12 | 4.67 | 0.7280 | 167.2 | Andrei Volodin lui répond. |

Steve pose la question : I'm trying to quantify the relation between conservation/consumption and population growth. For instance let's consider California: The 2000 census states that California's population grew from 29,760* in 4-1990 to 33,871 in 4-2000. I want to find r or rate of growth per year. Based on the exponential growth formula for population growth: . . . Penny Nom lui répond. |
