Sigma notation 2019-12-04
Kenneth pose la question :

What would be used for the top and bottom indices for the sigma sign in my example shown below?
If the amounts were 1 + 2 + 3, the top index would be 3 and the bottom would be i = 1, but if the amounts are 1 + 2 + 4, or 1 + 0.05 + 1/3, what would the indices be since these amounts are in an uneven pattern.

I thank you for your reply and explanation

The number of possible musical notes using an n-key instrument 2015-05-04
Farihin pose la question :
Lets say that i have keys, and each key is for notes of a musical instrument, So i wanted to find out the number of notes i can get for a certain number keys, of course in the form of an equation. Notes can use as many keys, it can use 1, or 2, or 3, or even 100.
Notes in real life is not as such, but ignore reality. I tried doing this but i can't seem to find a formula for it. For example, i have 4 keys, say A, B, C, and D. so, for notes that uses one key are 4, which is A, B, C, and D themselves. for notes that uses two keys are 6,
AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD.
for notes that uses three keys are 4,
ABC, ABD, ACD and BCD.
lastly for notes that uses all four keys is 1, ABCD.
So, the total will be 4+6+4+1=15#

The nth term for the first equation is n, the second is [(n^2)-n]/2 the third and the fourth, i don't know but the final answer should be like,
n + [(n^2)-n]/2 + [3rd] + [4th]

Sorry for the long question though...

A tangent to a curve through a point not on the curve 2008-07-23
Carter pose la question :
How does one find the tangent points on a curve, given only the curve's function and the x-intercept of that tangent line?
i.e. Find the point(s) on the curve y = -(x^2) + 1, where the tangent line passes through the point (2, 0). I know that there will be two such points, one where y is very close to 1, and the other point where y is a large negative number. However, I do not recall how to figure out the tangent line equation given a single intercept and solving to find the tangent points.

A rope trick 2002-12-05
Jerry pose la question :
My name is Jerry and I am a math teacher at the secondary school level in the greater Toronto area. I posed the following problem to my enriched grade 10 math class that I found in the book called "Mathematics and the Imagination" by William Kastner. According to the author, it is posible for two people linked to each other with two ropes around their hands, to separate themselves without letting go of the rope. The students had lots of fun trying to accomplish this problem using skipping ropes from the Phys Ed department, but with no success.

My name is Judy Gray. I guess the level on this would be about middle school, and I am an other!! I've been out of school for alot of years. I have a couple of questions, I guess.
  1. What does an equal (=) with a slash through it mean? I put intersects, but I think I'm wrong.

  2. What is the symbol of a small n? Only the symbol is wider. Example: If A = {1.2} B = {2,3} then what is A (n) B? Can you make sense out of that?

  3. What is the equation of the y-axis?
