	Why express fractions in lowest terms?		2014-10-09
		John pose la question : I teach in a Faculty of Education. A colleague in the university asked me about fractions and lowest terms. I am quoting the person below, and would appreciate your insights into the question/thought. "One I'm struggling with is why (for example) 6/18 is not considered as good an answer to a fraction question as 1/3. The traditional response is that 6/18 is not in lowest terms so the question has not been finished until the fraction is reduced, but what actually makes the lowest terms answer the better one? Is it convention? Is there a way to explain why simplest form answers in fractions are right and and anything else is considered incorrect without alluding to some need for this 'good habit' elsewhere in math or science? Is there a real-life reason?" Thank you for any insights and if you have nothing to offer to this query, that is fine too. I appreciate your consideration. John Robert Dawson lui répond.

	Determinants		2008-05-02
		Henry pose la question : I have a question about solving 3x3 matrices. The traditional way, or at least the way I've been taught, is that if one has a 3x3 matrix such as: [ a b c ] [ d e f ] [ g h i ] one solves it according to this formula: [ei - hf) - (bi - hc) + (bf - ec) = determinant. According to a book I'm now studying to prepare for the California CSET exam, there is another, easier, way to solve it: [ a b c ] [ a b ] [ d e f ] [ d e ] [ g h i ] [ g h ] In other words, one repeats the first two rows of the matrix and adds them to the right. At this point, the determinant is calculated thus: (aei) +(bfg) + (cdh) - (gec) - (hfa) - (idb). Is this, in fact, correct? Harley Weston lui répond.

	Inclusive definitions		2005-12-14
		Layla pose la question : recently the solvable quandary of 5+5+5=550 came up (the question says that you have to put 1 straight line somewhere in the equation to make it true with out turning the "=" into a "not=" sign). So two answers were put forward: 545+5=550 (the use of a line converting a + into a 4) AND 5+5+5(less than or equal to)550 There is currently an argument about the second solution. The disagreement is about whether this sign can be used. One person is arguing that the "less than or equal to" sign defines that the number on the left is in the range 550 and below. The other is saying that since the number (which is clearly defined with no variables) can never equal 550, then the "less than or equal to" sign cannot be used in this case. Which one is the correct definition? Walter Whiteley lui répond.

	Multiplier and multiplicand		2003-12-17
		Karen pose la question : The K-5 curriculum states that at a grade 5 level students should "understand and use the terms multiplier, multiplicand" The curriculum defines 'multiplicand' as " a number being multiplied by another number. A factor." There is no definition given for 'multiplier' Question: Define these words- are they just other words for 'factors'. If so, how important is it that students use these terms? It would seem like 'factors' would be the better choice of words to use. If multiplcand refers to eg. the first factor in the equation and the 'multiplier' the seond term, (if in fact it does)- is this not confusing for students when we teach them that multiplication is commutative?

It would be really great if you could!!!!! Thank you so much! -Stephanie -9x - 5 - 8 + x = ? 5 + 6x - 3y + x + 8y = ? -x - 3 + 5x + 6y + 8x - 9= ? Penny Nom lui répond.

		Hoda pose la question : The equation is: y" - 2y' + y = t et + 4 We need to use The method of Undetermined coefficients. I have tried assuming that the solution is Atet+Bet+C, but all I get is C=4 and I tried (At2+Bt+C)et+D, but again I get 0=0 when I calculate the first and second derivatives, so i get no information on the constants. Any suggestions? Harley Weston lui répond.

	order 4+ determinants		1999-12-06
		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? The method I'm talking about is called Cramer's Rule??? Is this method not extensible to order 4+ and if not why not? 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.

	Area of a triangle from vertex coordinates		1999-04-21
		Mark Tyler pose la question : I'm no schoolkid, but I liked your answers about triangles. You might enjoy a quick look at this, the kids may too. I was working on a Voronoi dual where I had to calculate the areas of very many triangles expressed as vertex coordinates, so I derived the following very direct formula: A = abs((x1-x2)*(y1-y3)-(y1-y2)*(x1-x3)) for triangle (x1,y1)(x2,y2)(x3,y3) I've never seen this in a textbook. Is it original? I doubt it, the proof is only a few lines long. Regardless, it may be fun for the kids, even if it's not on the curriculum. Walter Whitley lui répond.

Please could you tell me how to work it out so that I could work out the rules of similar sequences. Penny Nom lui répond.

	Intersection of Planes		1998-12-03
		Lindsay Fear pose la question : My name is Lindsay Fear. I am an OAC student (which is the Ontario equivalent to Grade 12 in most other states and provinces).

Our teacher has given us this question that my friend and I have attempted several times, but we are still unable to solve it. My teacher has also suggested using the internet as a resource. The question is: Prove that a necessary condition that the three planes -x + ay + bz = 0 ax - y + cz = 0 bx + cy - z = 0 have a line in common is that a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2abc = 1 Walter Whiteley lui répond.
