Conic sections |
2008-04-14 |
|
Christine pose la question : In my analysis class we are learning about conic sections.
Our project is to create a genral statement of the definition of conic sections.
Truthfully, I have absolutely no clue on how I should write that.
Could you help me? Walter Whiteley lui répond. |

Parabolas in the real world |
2007-05-18 |
|
Katherine pose la question : Hi, my name is Katherine, and my mean old math teacher just assigned us a test in which
we have to write two examples of how parabolas are used in the real world, each one page
single spaced, size 12!! I know you have already answered some questions like this, but
I still don't understand the whole baseball thing, and any other way parabolas are used.
And how I can write a whole page on it. But that's my problem, not yours, I just need help
with a little explanation on how parabolas are actually used today. I know this might be kind
of confusing for you, but imagine how it is for me!! Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

The intersection of two graphs |
2004-07-28 |
|
JJ pose la question : Is there a way to find the intersections of these graphs algebraically?
x^2 + y = 4 & 2x - y = 1
I got (1.45, 1.9) and (-3.45, -7.9) with a graphing calculator.
AND THESE...
y = 3.29x & y = 5.5(x^0.5)+ 10000
I got x at 3133 with a graphing calculator.

Sections, area and acres |
2004-03-23 |
|
Tony pose la question : An acre , it can be any size right . so when they
refer to a section of a township which is 640 acres,
also 1 square mile does this mean that 1 sections
length if sqaure and there is 5,280 ft in 1 mile does
it meanthat if you took 1 side of the square of of 4 sides
the lenth would be 5,280 feet long and by multiplying
5,280 x 5,280 it would give you the square mile in
square feet. i guess what I 'm asking is what is the
perimeter of 1 acre if it was shape like a square.
sorry to make this confusing but if you can help I
would appreciate it. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Squares in a rectangle |
2003-10-21 |
|
Raj pose la question :
Draw a rectangle with sides of 3 and 4. Divide the sides into 3 and 4 equal parts respectively. Draw squares joining the points on the sides of the rectangle. You will have 12 small squares inside the 3 x 4 rectangle. If you draw a diagonal of the rectangle, it will intersect 6 of the the 12 smaller squares. Similarly, if you have a 4 x 10 rectangle, the diagonal would intersect 12 of the 40 squares inside the rectangle. Is there an algebric equation that determines the number of squares that will be intersected by the diagonal of a rectangle? Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Uses of conic sections |
2003-04-01 |
|
William pose la question : My name is William and I am doing a research paper on conic sections for my 12th grade math class. Part of the project is to find two conic sections in our world today and explain what there purpose is. I really need help in this area because I've been searching the internet for where conic sections are used in our world today and I really can't find anything. If you can tell me specific building or a pyramid that contains conic sections that would be great. Or even something in the universe would be helpful. Leeanne Boehm lui répond. |

A paper model of a cone |
2002-08-14 |
|
Bruce pose la question : I have made a paper model of a cone, cut a sloping section, and removed the top. I have drawn the major and minor axis on the paper surface of the section. The major axis is not symmetrical about the minor axis. To me, this is not an ellipse. To me, an ellipse is a tubular section, because this gives a symmetrical major axis. What is your opinion? Walter Whiteley and Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Dividing a Circle |
1999-04-12 |
|
Mike Kenedy pose la question : I am having trouble with a homework question for bonus marks. A Circle is continually divided by lines that do not intersect the center so that they produce the most pieces of circle. For example - 1 line divides the circle into 2.
- 2 into 4.
- 3, however into 7.
- 4 into11
- 5 into 16
- 6 into 22
- 7 into 29
- 8 into 37
- etc...
I am stumped and cannot figure out the equation, though I'm sure it involves squares. Can you help? Penny Nom lui répond. |
