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. |

Winding paper after a break |
2009-04-10 |
|
Olen pose la question : Question from Olen:
I work in a paper mill and have been handed the task to search for a formula to determine how much paper needs to be added to a parent roll to make up the difference at the winder. (Ex. The spool diameter at the reel is 18.25" we measure roughly 33.5" to make two 58" rolls in the winder. If the is a paper break and the roll diameter in the winder is 30" how much do I add to a single parent roll (22" roughly) to make one 58 " and the 28" needed at the winder. I would appreciate any help to complete this task. I would like to be able to build a chart that operators can refer to based on what is needed. Thank you. Harley Weston lui répond. |

|
Rita pose la question : This question has 3 parts.
If a rock falls from a height of 20 meters on the planet Jupiter, its height H
(in meters) after x seconds is about H(x) = 20 - 13x^2
(a) What is the height of the rock when x = 1.2 seconds?
(b) When is the height of the rock 15 meters?
(c) When does the rock strike the ground?
Thank you Janice Cotcher lui répond. |

Shooting an arrow over a wall |
2007-12-11 |
|
Amy pose la question : The path of a large arrow fired from a non
torsion catapult can be modeled by y=-0.0044x^2 + 1.68x, where x is the distance the
arrow travelled (in yards) and y is the height of the arrow (in yards). Given the height of
a castle wall, find the safest distance from the wall to launch an arrow over a 120 yard-high wall. Victoria West and Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

The quadratic formula |
2003-08-31 |

Alex pose la question : I am using Houghton Mifflin's Precalculus with Limits book, 2nd edition. However, the first chapter encompasses Algebra review, and I am stuck on a problem. All that's required is to solve the following and verify using a calculator: 3y2+6y+2=0 I have solved the problem using the quadratic formula, but from what I remember, the quadratic formula is used in the case of equations following the AX2+BX+C=0 pattern. As the problem I am attempting uses a y-variable, can I still use the quadratic formula? Since I am not sure what route to take in solving this problem, I am hoping you can assist me.

Complex numbers and the quadratic formula |
1998-12-25 |
|
Richard Peter pose la question : My age is 16, and my name is Richard. My question relates to the topic complex numbers & the quadratic formula. I would like to know how to solve quadratic equations in which the discriminant is less than 0 (i.e. we get two complex solutions to the quadratic) 3x2+2x+5 = 0 and how mathematicians like euler contributed to this field. If it would be possible I would also like to know how this type of quadratic equations can be graphed? Harley Weston lui répond. |
