The height of a tree 2020-09-27
Kerissa pose la question :
A man height 1.2 m standing on top of a building 34.6m high views a tree some distance away he observes that the angle of depression of the base of the tree is 35 and the angle of depression of the top of the tree is 29, assuming that the tree stands of level ground. Determine the height of the tree.

Drawing a counter from 2 bags 2020-05-21
Sephy pose la question :
Question 4: Two bags, 1 and 2, each contain equal size counters.
Bag 1 contains a pink counter, yellow counter and white counter. Bag 2 contains counters labelled 1, 4, 5 and 7.
A counter is drawn at random from bag 1 and a counter is drawn at random from bag 2.
If the counter from bag 1 is pink, the number on the counter from bag 2 is increased by 1
If the counter from bag 1 is yellow, the number on the counter from bag 2 is decreased by 5
If the counter from bag 1 is white, the number is halved.

A geometric series 2018-03-13
nathi pose la question :
Hi I am really struggling with this question please help !!!!
a pohutukawa tree is 86 centimetres when it is planted. in the first year after it is planted , the tree grows 42 centimetres in height.Each year the tree grows in height by 95% of the growth of the previous year.
assume that the growth in height of the pohutukawa tree can be modelled by a geometric sequence.
A)find the height of the tree 5 years after it is planted and figure out the maximum height the pohutukawa tree is expected to reach in centimetres. The maximum height part is not answered.

An imaginary infinite geometric tree 2011-02-18
Elise pose la question :
An imaginary infinite geometric tree grows 1m the first day. 2nd day 2 branches and right angles to each other and each 0.5 m long. 3rd day two new branches at ends of each of previous days' 2 branches, again at right angles, and only .25m long each.
And so on, infinitely.
Q: Use relationships of right-angled triangles and high school level knowledge of geometric series to show the tree height is limited to (4 + sqrt2)/3 m and width to (2(sqrt2 + 1))/3 m.

A probability tree 2010-05-20
Sandy pose la question :
Children’s meals are being prepared for a large gathering. There is an equal number of chicken, hamburger, and fish meals. Each meal comes with a toy: a ball, a parachute toy, or a Frisbee. There are twice as many balls as Frisbees and an equal number of parachutes and Frisbees.

Use a probability tree to show the sample space and determine the probability that a meal consists of chicken or fish and comes with a ball as a toy.

Christy pose la question :
How do I go about answering this question, I know I have to find dv/dt, but I'm not sure how to start.

Probability that a restaurant will succeed 2007-05-23
Cookie pose la question :
You wish to open a new restaurant and are considering locations in Toronto and Hamilton, but only one location will actually become available. If it is built in Toronto, the restaurant stands an 80% chance of successfully surviving its first year. However, if it is built in Hamilton, its chance of survival falls to 65%. It is estimated that the chance of Hamilton being available is 60% and Toronto being available is 40%. Find the probability that the restaurant will :
a) survive its first year
b) be built in Toronto and survive its first year
c) be built in Hamilton, given that it survived its first year
d) not survive its first year, given that it is built in Toronto Thanks

Probability tree 2007-05-19
Patrick pose la question :
My question involves a video game called Guild Wars. In the game you can have modifications(mods) on items. One such mod is that you have a 20% chance to halve the casting time of a spell. You can have 2 of these mods available to you. Now, it is to my understaning that combined, you would have a 32% chance to halve the casting time and a 4% chance to quarter the casting time. Is this correct?

Chopping trees 2003-04-19
Tamara pose la question :

The master needs some of the trees (twenty, to be exact) at the back of his spooky old mansion cleared to make way for a new evil laboratory, so he decides to send some his slaves to do the work for him.

He initially sends out four of his men, armed with axes, to chop the trees down. Due to the fact he is very impatient, every ten minutes he sends out another man to help with the work.

Assuming that it takes one man 30 minutes to chop down 1/3 of a tree, how long till all twenty trees are chopped down?

Genealogy 2001-03-22
Brian pose la question :
In considering tracing genealogy the problem of a large and growing number of direct (grandparent) ancestors arose. Since the number of grandparents in any given generation doubles, for a person born in 2000 and assuming 25 year generations, in the year 1000 that person would have over one trillion direct ancestors in that year alone. Since estimates I have read place the total world population in 1000 at 250-300 million, the one trillion figure cannot be correct. I must be missing something in my calculations. Can you help provide the answer? While I am unlikely to be able to trace back to 1000, there is reason to believe 1250 is possible. Even in that year there would exist over one billion direct ancestors. That is certainly rather daunting and unlikely to be achieved if correct.

Diagramming Powers 1997-10-15
David Fill pose la question :
I am a teacher in Massachusettes. We have been diagramming numbers such as two to the third (a 3-D cube). One of my students asked me how you would diagram two to the fourth. I have searched through all of my teachers books and cannot seem to find the answer to this question. Is there a way to diagram this? If there is, how would you do this?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
