A puzzling equation 2018-12-04
From Manny:
Hello,

Can you explain why this is wrong:
-1 = (-1)^3 = (-1)^{6/2} = ((-1)^6)^{1/2} = (1)^{1/2} = 1 ??

Thank you

Functions 2012-09-18
From nayeem:
I tried with many functions but I am not getting the exact values please help me
A give an example of a function whose domain equals the set of real numbers and whose range equals the set the set {-1,0,1}?
B Give an example of a function whose domain equals (0,1)and whose range equals [0,1] C.Give n example of a function whose is the set of positive integers and whose range is the set of positive even integers D. Give an example of a function whose domain is the set of positive even integers and whose range is the set of positive odd integers E give an example of function whose domain is the set of integers and whose range is the set of positive integers. F. Give an example of function whose domain is the set of positive integers and whose range is the set of integers.
please show me the work
Please give me the trick of finding such functions

Using the inverse sine function 2000-05-31
From Nelson Rothermel:
This has me completely baffled. I have to use the laws of sine or cosine to find the angles of a triangle when I have 3 sides, so I can't go 180-x-y when I have 2 angles. Now, I have a triangle with values of 3, 7, and 9. Here are the steps I used (A,B,C are angles; a,b,c are opposite sides):

angle A (16.1951 degrees): cos-1*((b2+c2-a2)/(2*b*c))
angle B (40.6011 degrees): sin-1*(b*sin(A)/a)
angle C (56.7962 degrees): sin-1*(c*sin(A)/a)

If you notice, A+B+C does not equal 180. According to the book, A and B are correct, but C is supposed to be 123.2038 degrees. Why doesn't it work???
