Slicing an inverted bowl at various heights |
2017-04-30 |
|
From Joel: Find a formula to calculate the circumferences of an inverted bowl at various heights.
E.g. Take an inverted bowl with a diameter of "x" cm and a depth / height of "y" cm.
How can I calculate the circumferences at distances of various heights above the base?
Alternately, what would be the formula to calculate the distance of the line segment resulting from a line which intersects both sides of a parabola in which that line is drawn parallel to the tangent of the vertex of the parabola at any given distance from the vertex? Answered by Penny Nom. |

The inverse of y = x(x - 2) |
2016-12-21 |
|
From Sasha: Hello, I recently stumbled upon this question and I haven't been able to figure it out.
Why is the inverse of y=x(x-2) not a function?
Suggest a domain restriction which would ensure that the inverse is a function.
Thank You :) Answered by Penny Nom. |

Inverting fractions and percentage |
2013-05-18 |
|
From Carlos: If I calculate the percentage change between two fractions, say,
1/100 and 2/100, I get 100% change. Now, if I flip denominator
and numerator, 100/1 and 100/2, and repeat the calculation, I
get a 50% change. Why are the percentages different?
Thank you very much Answered by Penny Nom. |

Student who is inverting digits |
2008-12-09 |
|
From Tammie: Do you have any strategies for addressing inversion of digits in two digit numbers. For example - The student the teacher is working with will write "14" and the number is 41. She has tried highlighting, practice writing numbers, and hundreds charts and finding patterns. Help! Thank you! Answered by Robert Dawson and Victoria West. |

The inverse of a quintic function |
2004-07-22 |
|
From A student: I'm really having trouble finding out the inverse of this quintic equation. F(X)= X5+3X3+1.I know that this quintic has an inverse because it is one to one. But I can't find a method to solve this. Finding the inverse of a quadratic or a cubic equation is a lot easier, but with this quintc I am really lost. I even know how the graph of this equation and its inverse looks like, but I'm not sure if Iam getting the right equation. Please help me out. Answered by Penny Nom. |

If the matrix A is inverible and AB =AC, then B = C |
2002-03-27 |
|
From Vikki: i hope you can help i am soooo stuck here goes: a)
A= 0 1 B= 1 1 c= 2 5 0 2 3 4 3 4
A,B and c are matrices Evaluate AB and Ac (which I can do) then
b) I need to prove that if the matrix A is inverible and AB =AC, then B = C. Why does this not contradict what happened in part a)? Answered by Leeanne Boehm. |
