	Dividing a polygon into triangles		2011-04-16
		From Foxie: You have a given regular polygon with n vertices and you divide it into triangles(using the vertices of the polygon) which each share at least one side with the polygon. How many distinct ways can you divide the polygon if its vertices are numbered? For n=3 it's 1 way, for n=4 it's 2 ways for n=5 5 ways, I'm not quite sure but think that for n=6 it's 12 ways... thanks in advance! Answered by Claude Tardif.
	Dividing infinity by infinity		2009-06-24
		From Justin: Hello again, I just had one other question nagging question about infinity. I read this article on "Types of Infinity" on Paul Hawkins calculus website and he stated that one infinity cannot be divided by another or that the answer is inderterminate because fundamentally infinity comes in different sizes with respect to infinite sets and that this applies also to calculus. And so I was wondering (if this is true) is this why when you divide infinity by infinity (in the extended real number system) the answer is indeterminate since fundamentally one inifnity is larger than another like in infinite sets or is there another reason? Thanks sooo much for answering my question again! I greatly appreciate it! All the Best, Justin Answered by Robert Dawson.

	Subdividing a chord		2008-08-18
		From austin: Here is my question. Imagine I have a circle of known radius 25 feet, and a chord with a mid point height of 6 inches from a central point on the chord to the circumference of the circle. I wish to divide this chord into a number of equal divisions. How can I calculate the measurement of the perpendicular line at each division of the chord to the circumference and at a 90 degrees at each division Answered by Penny Nom.

	Rational polynomial expressions		2007-06-09
		From a student: I have a question that continues to lead me to the answer x/(x - 1) but according to my math book, the answer should be 1/(x - 1). Who is right? Who is wrong? Here is the question: (x^2 - 6x - 27)/(x^2 - 11x + 18) DIVIDED by (x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)/(x^2 - 2x) Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	Splitting A Circle Evenly		2006-12-20
		From Joe: I'm trying to make a game board and instead of having it square, I would like to give it a curve (the game is Parcheesi). The attached diagram is pretty much completed (done in AutoCAD). What I would like to know is how to manually find the points that intersect the red line. In other words, evenly split the semi-circle into 8 pieces. Answered by Penny Nom.

	Dividing fractions		2002-09-23
		From Angie: When I was taught to divide a fraction, I was told to multiply the reciprocal. Many times I find I can just divide the fraction, and it saves all the simplifying after. For example, 4/6 x 9/14 divided by 2/4 I would say 4x9divided by 2=18 over 6x14divided by 4 =21, so the answer is 18/21 but if I multiply the reciprocal, I would end up with 4x9x4 over 6x14x2 which equals 144/168. So, why are we taught to do it this way? Is it necessary? Answered by Chris Fisher.
	0/4 = ?		2002-04-28
		From Danielle: I am embarrased to be asking this question, but... is it possible to have a fraction with a zero? For example, 0/4. This does not make sense to me and I do not know what it would be representing, other than nothing! Is it proper to express such a fraction? Answered by Peny Nom.

	Dividing polynomials		2001-02-19
		From Janna: I have two questions involving dividing polynomials by polynomials. Here's the first one: Two factors of 12a4 -39a2 + 8a - 8a3 + 12 are a - 2 and 2a + 1. Find the other factors. The other question I'm stuck on is: When 10x3 + mx2 - x + 10 is divided by 5x-3, the quotient is 2x2 + nx - 2 and the remainder is 4. Find the values of m and n. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Dividing with decimals		2000-11-15
		From Alex: I teach math and my class and I were discussing the dividing of decimals. I explained that if there is a decimal in the divisor, it needs to be moved and so does the decimal in the dividend. My question is why is it necessary to move the decimal point in the divisor before dividing? Answered by Penny Nom.

	Dividing a Circle		1999-04-12
		From Mike Kenedy: I am having trouble with a homework question for bonus marks. A Circle is continually divided by lines that do not intersect the center so that they produce the most pieces of circle. For example 1 line divides the circle into 2. 2 into 4. 3, however into 7. 4 into11 5 into 16 6 into 22 7 into 29 8 into 37 etc...
