A ladder AB of length 5 has one end A leaning against a vertical wall. The other end B rests on horizontal ground. When A is 4m above the ground, it slides down at 2m/s. How fast does B slide?

Suppose p is an integer such that p≥0 and q is a natural number. It is also defined that p mod q is the remainder when p is divided by q. For example, 4mod4= 0, 7mod4=3, 3mod4=3.

Given that A={0,1,2,3,4} and f:A->A is defined by f(x)=3x mod5.

a)Express the function f as a set of ordered pairs.
b)Find the range of f.
c) Explain whether f^-1 exists or not and find f^-1 if it exists.

A man plans on arriving by train at the station at 3:00pm and then plans to have his wife drive him home. Instead, he catches an earlier train and arrives at the station at 2.00pm. He decides to walk toward home and is picked up by his punctual wife en route. They arrive home twenty minutes earlier than planned. How long did he walk?

Using the numbers 5,6,7,8,9, each once, make a 3 digit number and a 2 digit number that gives a quotient with no remainder. Find 2 pairs, one that gives the biggest quotient and one that gives the lowest quotient.

Is there a analytical way of solving this, or is it just trial and error.

#9 Re: Help Me ! » Plane Geometry » 2010-10-10 02:52:36

why is there an error?

angle ATE = angle TEC (alt angle )
angle ATE = angle ART (alt segment theorem)
angle ART = angle EDT = angle CDT (angle subtended by the same chord)

hence angle TEC = angle EDT

angle TEC = angle TRD (angle subtended by the same chord)
angle EDT = angle ERT (angle subtended by the same chord)

angle TRD = angle TRM, angle ERT = angle ART
hence angle ART = angle TRM

Hi bob bundy;

for (iii), you are proving that ECT is similar to RCD by intercepting chords theorem right?

oh. i cant take out unknown... how coicidental. thanks for the help

#17 Re: Help Me ! » Integration- Trigonometric functions » 2010-07-08 01:28:48

this makes sense to me but i cannot get the negative sign. is there something wrong?

#18 Re: Help Me ! » Integration- Trigonometric functions » 2010-07-07 01:08:40

what if i am not familiar with d cotx /dx = -csc(x)² ?

#19 Re: Help Me ! » Integration- Trigonometric functions » 2010-07-06 21:07:32

substitution is the only way?

i was taught to increase the power by 1 and divide by the power+ 1.
can this apply to trig functions too?
