  1. Ok ok I get it now, I just didn't get the wording. :lol:
     
  2. Well I copied and pasted that. .-. I don't get this.

  4. The smallest distance between any two of six towns is m miles. The largest distance between any two of the towns is M miles. Show that M/m is greater than or equal to the square root of 3. Assume the land is flat.
     
  5. Answer is 3^3[3]
     
  6. I've got one. If 6x plus 4=y and 5x plus 8=y what is x?

    Simple system of equations for buddy, bro.
     
  7. Lol blockey I had to do 5 equations 5 unknowns in my engineering class by hand last semester in my engineering class 
     
  8. 6x 4 = 5x 8
    X=4
     
  9. Yeah, even though that was for buddy. :|
     
  10. Here's a good one:

    Find the dimension of the rectangle of largest area that can be inscribed in a circle of radius r.

    And

    A piece of wire 10m long, is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. How should the wire be cut so that the total area enclosed is a minimum?

    Hint: answer has a squareroot and there it's not a trick question

    These were test questions I had last semester.
     
  11. Ok guys don't bother solving them  look here's a flower

    I had to graph this about 3 weeks ago for math hw and it was not fun 
     
  12. Well it was hard cause I didn't know what it looked like and had to plot points with a table and was so confused as I was plotting 
     
  13. This thread is better when people ask real questions they have  so if anyone has any go ahead
     
  14. Does any1 know the formula for tangent or whatever that thing is called?
     
  15. Tangentx is also sinx divided by cosx. It's y/x for the unit circle.
     
  16. Tangent is positive in the first and third quadrant and negative in the second and fourth quadrant.
     
  17. I love this thread.
     
  18.  I do too but you can see all of the consecutive posts I'm making in an attempt to keep this on the first page. I hope more people post math jokes and questions. I'll post a math joke

    Why did sir cumfrince get fat at the dinner table? He ate too much pi 
     
  19. Hey, I actually understood that one!
