From GA: I want to find out examples in universe for this equation:
sin(x)/cos(x)=1 or tan(x)=1. I know the mathematical answer of pie/4 or 45 degree angle.
What I need to know is to find examples of this. I found an example in construction, for example, which is the shape of attic in the house.
I want to find examples in universe like in solar system, in quasars or jets coming out of them, in galaxies, in stars, in black holes, etc
Do you know of any such examples? Answered by Robert Dawson.
From Jessie: My teacher told me that the number of ways of lining up the 450 students in our school is larger than the number of atoms in the universe. Is this right?
This question came to Good Question, a regular feature on the CBC Morning Edition radio show in Saskatchewan.
