A proof by contraposition 2012-10-19
Rahul pose la question :
I am not able to understand the following,
To prove that if for all e>0, |x|0, then |x|>=e. I understand the approach very well but I do not understand why if |x|=e then |x|>=e. If it is so then why not |x|= Thanks in advance!'

The intervals where the function is positive and negative 2010-01-10
Ron pose la question :
Hello

I'm trying to find out the intervals where the function is positive and negative. It's for a polynomial function y= -(x+2)^2 (x-2) and y= (x+1)(x+4)(x-3)

I have tried the right and left side of each x-intercepts, but I still don't understand the results

thank you for your help

A number base that's not a positive integer 2009-12-11
Nick pose la question :
Is it possible for a number to have a base that's not a positive integer? Base 1 gives a result that's meaningless but possible. I have no concept of a base 0, a negative base, or a fractional base, never mind any other base. I think there isn't any base that's not a positive integer, but, knowing that math keeps jumping ahead and sometimes has inventions before anyone knows how to exploit them, I think I'd better ask.

Thank you.

Nick

Probability of H.I.V. tests 2007-05-07
Danielle pose la question :
A medical test detects H.I.V. Among those who have H.I.V., the test will detect the disease with probability 0.95; among those who do NOT have H.I.V., the test will falsely claim that H.I.V. is present with probability 0.0125. Among those who take this test, 4% have H.I.V. The test is given to Lucille, and indicates that she has H.I.V. What is the probability that Lucille actually has H.I.V.?

Eban pose la question :

1)by mathematical induction prove that 12 + 32 + 52 + ...... + (2k-1)2 = (1/3)k(2k-1)(2k+1) for all positive integers k.

2)show that the contrapositive of the following statement is true. if 1 + M7 is even, then M is odd.

An isosceles triangle 2005-01-03
Abraham pose la question :
The question is,"Triangle ABC is not isosceles.Prove that if altitude BD were drawn, it would not bisect AC."My question is If an altitude is drawn wouldn\'t that mean automatically its isosceles because, In a triangle the sides opposite congruent angles(in this case the right angles)are congruent? What am I thinking wrong?
