A kinky curve |
2016-10-06 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From tammie: Koch’s kinky curve is created by starting with a straight segment and replacing it with four segments, each 1/3 as long as the original segment. So, at the second stage the curve has three bends. At the next stage, each segment is replaced by four segments, and so on. How many bends does the curve have at the third stage?

A triple product |
2016-10-03 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From sam: Let a and b are vectors such that
Vector a = (1,1,2)
Vector b = (2,-1,1)
And let vector c be a unit vector such that triple product of a,b,c is
minimum . We have to find the value of c.
[Thoughts]
I thought triple product of a b, c means the volume occupied by
parallelepiped. And we have to do volume minimum Answered by Penny Nom. |

From Peter: I have seen your response to a similar question from Steve which Chris and Harley responded to, however I am not familiar with some of the terms. Is there a formula that I can enter my details in which will give me the specific angles I require. The item I am constructing is much larger than the one you responded to previously.

A car chase |
2016-09-25 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From Ms.: Car 1 is traveling down the road at 50 mph and passes Car 2 is
sitting on the side of the road. Car 2 needs to catch Car 1 one half mile
down the road. How fast must Car 2 drive to catch Car 1 if Car 2
waits 10 seconds before pursuing Car 1?
Yes, the assumption is that the Car 2 can accelerate from a standing position and over take Car 1 rate. What is the answer or formula for this type of question?
