Problème avec rapport point, prix... 2005-09-08
Nico pose la question :

Le prix d'un diamant est proportionnel au carré de son poinds. Un diamant de 0.45 g vaut 7500euros.

1. Combie coute un diamant de 0.693 g ?

2. Quel est le poids d'une diamant valant 45000 euros ?

Je vous demande pas de le raisoudre à ma place mais j'aimeré comprendre comment je peut calculé le rapport entre le point et le prix.

(3d) Whether line segment intersects triangle 2019-04-13
rj pose la question :
Well hello,

Lets say I have a triangle,

Not any ordinary triangle, but a triangle that is represented in 3 dimensions. I also have a line segment.

Lets say that this triangle has points A(0,0,0), B(1,0,0), C(0,1,1)

And the line segment has points D(0,1/2,0), E(1,1/2,1)

In what way can I find if the line segment and triangle intersect? Their intersection point?

I don't prefer matrices, because they don't make any sense, but ... if that's the only way to solve this, then do what's necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Simplify the expression 2012-02-12
Christy pose la question :
Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points.

Which of the 4 points are collinear when you construct the following concurrent lines or rays of a triangle?

  1. P(1), the point where the angle bisectors intersect.
  2. P(2), the point where the altitudes (or extensions) intersect (inside or outside of the triangle).
  3. P(3), the point where the medians intersect.
  4. P(4), the point where the perpendicular bisectors (or extensions) of the three sides of a triangle intersect.


This is for my 9-12 high school class in geometry.
My name is Gary


Thanks for your help.
Gary

Compass points 2002-11-05
Mhairi pose la question :
I was asked this in maths but I am not sure if it is geography. Name all the compass points? We have been given 8 but he told us there is more and we have to name them.

A set of points in space 2002-03-18
Victoria pose la question :
Describe the given set with a single equation or a pair of equations:

The set of points in space that lie 2 units from the point(0,0,1) and at the same time 2 units from the point (0,0,-1).

Prove that the medians of triangle PQR meet in a central point G. 2001-11-11
Jessica pose la question :
Use a scalene triancle with one point (0,b) on the y axis, another point (2c, 0) on the x-axis and the last point, (2a,0) on the x-axis. Prove that the medians of triangle PQR meet in a central point G.

A 3 dimensional 5 pointed star 2001-11-08
Kent pose la question :
I am looking for a formula that will give me a layout for a 3 dimensional 5 pointed star. I want to form it out of sheet metal, using 5 polygons and soldering them at the apex. Can you please help me with this? I would like to be able to give the formula the height of the star from the bottom two points to the top point and also how deep the star is. Thank you very much!

Parabolic mirrors 1999-11-07
Andy White pose la question :
I am working on a project concerning parabolic mirrors. I need to create a mirror to focus sunlight on a focal point, but I don't know how to do it. Is there some equation that tells where a focal point will be in relation to a parabola?

What is a directrix?

How many intersections? 1997-10-08
James pose la question :
(a) A collection of eight points, no three collinear. If lines are drawn between each pair of these points, how many points of intersection would there be?

(b) what would your answer have been in part (a) if there had been n points to start with?
