	The inverse square law		2018-06-05
		From Amy: Question about inverse square law ; Hi, I'm trying to understand some nuances about this law and have been reading about it a lot online and trying out some homework for personal interest (hobby ) - not school related. I understand that the simple formula is ; 1/d^2 I was wondering about what appears to be an oddity to me, that I came across when I was working with a test example I found at this link ; http://www.softschools.com/formulas/physics/inverse_square_law_formula/82/ The problem that caught my interest was this one on that page ; "1) If a bright flashlight has a light intensity of 15.0 candela at a distance 1.00 m from the lens, what is the intensity of the flashlight 100.0 m from the lens?" So I have a few different questions about this, but the most important one is, what does it mean if we replace the "1" in ; 1/d^2 with a different value such as a ratio in the form of a decimal value, so instead we have something like this ; 0.75/d^2 ??? Does this ratio represent a curve then? I am thinking that the "1" in the normal formula represents a straight line Some of the links I was researching ; http://wisptools.net/book.php?c=3&s=2 http://www.softschools.com/formulas/physics/inverse_square_law_formula/82/ https://www.nde-ed.org/GeneralResources/Formula/RTFormula/InverseSquare/InverseSquareLaw.htm Answered by Penny Nom.

	If x ix directly proportional to y then ...		2012-02-19
		From Crystal: I understand that we say x and y are proportional, then y = kx. Generally when we say x is proportional to y, we think that when x increases y increases. Now I am questioning whether that is actually true. If k is negative, then when x increases, y DECREASES. My question is does this mean this statement is incorrect: If x is proportional to y, when x increases, y increases proportionally. Is it more correct to say: If x is proportional to y, when x increases, y either increases proportionally or decreases proportionally. Along the same line of reasoning, when x is inversely proportional to y, we think that when x increases y decreases, but that is true only if k is positive. Is that correct? Answered by Harley Weston.
	Properties of real numbers applied to subsets		2012-02-01
		From Mark: Hello - The questions that I have for you is do the properties of real numbers (such as the associative, commutative, identity, inverse, and distributive law) apply to ALL the subsets of real numbers? In other words, do all those properties work for the Natural Numbers? The Whole Numbers? And so on and so forth. I understand that they are all real numbers, but for instance: the identity is whenever you add zero to a number, you get that number back. But does that work with, say, with only the odd numbers? Zero isn't odd so can that property actually apply to JUST the odd numbers? Any consideration would be greatly appreciated! Answered by Robert Dawson.

	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??? Answered by Harley Weston.
