	Difference quotient		2010-07-26
		From Brandon: i'm trying to figure out how to use the difference quotient with x^3, i have tried the following...(x+h)^2*(x+h)-(x+h)/h and i have only gotten as far as...(x^2+2xh+h^2)-(x+h)/h....i cannot see where i am goin astray, i know i am overlooking something simple, what am i overlooking? Answered by Penny Nom.

	The difference quotient (f(x+h)-f(x))/h		2009-01-26
		From helen: Find the difference quotient of f, f(x+h)-f(x)/h, h does not equal 0, for this function. Be sure to simplify. that is, find f(x)=x^2-x+4 Answered by Robert Dawson.
	Finding an Unknown Integer Given Quotients and Remainders		2008-12-05
		From Mark: What is the least positive integer meeting each of the following conditions? Dividing by 7 gives a remainder of 4. Dividing by 8 gives a remainder of 5. Dividing by 9 gives a remainder of 6. Answered by Janice Cotcher.
	Compatible numbers		2008-10-30
		From Paul: Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient of 23.52 and 11.04 Answered by Penny Nom.
	Concavity and the second derivative		2008-10-15
		From Christina: I'm having trouble solving for a second derivative for the following graphing question. f(x) = (X^2+2x+4)/2x using the quotient rule, I found: f'(x) = (x^2-4)/(2x^2) however, using the quotient rule again I can't seem to solve it (concavity): f'''(x)=[(2x)(2x^2)-(x^2-4)(4x)]/[(2x^2)^2] f''(x)=[(4x^3-(4x^3 -16x)]/4x^4 f''(x)=16x/4x^4 f''(x)=4/x^3 and making the equation equal to zero result in 0=4 which doesn't seem to make sense... Answered by Penny Nom.

	A difference quotient		2008-07-10
		From Rita: Find the difference quotient of f, that is, find [f (x + h) - f (x)]/h, where h does not = 0 for the given function. Be sure to simplify. f(x) = 1/(x + 3) Answered by Janice Cotcher.

		From Thomas: The quotient of 50 and a number is 2. Is 2 the quotient , 50 the dividend and 25 the divisor? Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	Isoperimetric quotients		2006-07-07
		From Jessica: How do you work out an algebraic equation for the IQ of an isosceles triangle. Answered by Penny Nom.
	The Isoperimetric Quotient		2006-02-07
		From Ceri: I am studying Isoperimetric Quotient as part of my mathematics course and have been told that the only shape with an I.Q of 1 is the circle but when I work out the I.Q of a million sided regular polygon, the answer always comes out as 1. My teacher insists it is the just the calculator rounding things up, but I have tried loads of calculators and it always comes out as 1. Can you solve my conundrum? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Division names		2003-03-10

	Isoperimetric quotients		2002-01-02
		From A student: I'm stuck on my GCSE Maths coursework, what do isoperimetric quotients measure? 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.
	The quotient rule		2000-02-21
		From Charlene Anderson: Question: I came across a question in our book that states: Let Q(x) = N(x) / D(x) Then re-write Q(x) in a form that can utilize the Power and Product Rules. Use this rearranged form to derive the Quotient Rule. The Quotient Rule can be derived from the Power Rule and the Product Rule. One must also use the chain rule too, right? Answered by Harley Weston.
