Assume the growth rate is x , the eating speed of a sheep is y , and the total grass is T , S sheep eat it in 96 days
24*70y-T-24x=0 (1)
60*30y-T-60x=0 (2)
96*Sy-T-96x=0   (3)
Since , y , T , S , x are unknown , then we can use (1)+(2)=(3) to solve it
since 24+60 is not equal to 96
then we have to solve this 24n+60m=96k  & nT+mT=kT , Cuz, n(1)+m(2) = k(3).
Simplified get 2n+5m=8k & n+m=k  => 0=2n+m , let n=1 then m=-2 , then k=-1
multiply (1) by n=1 , get 24*70y-T-24x=0
multiply (2) by m=-2 , get -60*60y+2T+120x=0
multiply (3) by k=-1 , get -S*96y+T+96x=0
Note that n(1)+m(2)=-1920y+T+96x=0
Then -96S=-1920, S=20

I know , but when I use w=ylny, I will get a different result , I wanna know why?
Check my calculation above

#253 Re: Help Me ! » Need Help » 2007-03-28 02:19:56

I have a problem with

, plz tell me how to do it , and tell me where I was wrong.

#254 Re: Help Me ! » Need Help » 2007-03-27 17:17:42

Here what I did, 

no doubt about that.

I use

That will be

, which is different from the answer.

#255 Re: Help Me ! » mech2 problems » 2007-03-27 02:41:15

You must be confused by this equality

.  that F is the combination of all forces
Your example is an object move from rest to rest.  If you pull the object , it will move  ,, the kinetic energy increases with the work you done , but careful , you have to subtract the work that friction done as well . the object from rest to rest , indicates that the work friction has done is equal to the work you have done.

Actually, u imply that k is smaller than n , then n! must contains one k , then  k | n! ,  therefore k | n!+k

I need to solve

I put all the x on one side and the y on the other and integral

but the result comes out different from the answer'

the answer is


help!

Solve the differential equation

I know there is a rule

but if I let


and the same as y , then substitue , into the original equation , but the answer will be different from applying the rule . I wanna know what's wrong .

#261 Re: Help Me ! » Can I prove it this way? » 2007-03-22 02:11:49

Because C is a complement of A , and A is a subset of U

#262 Re: Help Me ! » Can I prove it this way? » 2007-03-21 18:26:06

I undertand you prove ,
  My prove was,  like U={1,2,3,4} , Let A be a subset of U , and C be the complement of subset A, then C is also a subset of U,
If A={1,2,3} , then C={4}, if A has all the elements, then C is an empty set. 
If U is any random set, then there must be a subset C which is empty.

#263 Re: Help Me ! » Can I prove it this way? » 2007-03-21 18:02:07

What I need to prove is  , Empty set is the subset of every set.

#264 Re: Help Me ! » Can I prove it this way? » 2007-03-21 18:00:55

A is a subset of U , then the complement of A must be a subset of U , since , A has all the elements that are in U , then the complement of A must be an empty , and is in U.

Prove that the empty set is a subset of every set.

If a subset A has all the elements that of the universal Set U , then the complement of subset A is a empty set , then the empty set is in U , then it's a subset of U .

maybe the new vertex are on the bisector of each angle.

#268 Re: Help Me ! » helppers absolutely needed.. » 2007-03-21 13:47:14

Hmmm , If you know the coordinates of three vertex,  each side of the  new triangle paralells with the old one , that means the slopes are the same, they share the same core.

These are the 3  last questions,  the entrance exam just like sat , but only got 120 minute to finish 21 questions.

Yeah , the second is kind of tricky.

#270 Re: Help Me ! » Several Questions » 2007-03-21 10:27:45

I think the Chinese math exam is a little harsh , Since everyone has to deal with problem like these , no matter what your major is.

Two functions

have intersections Point A and O .
A line
has intersection with the two functions Point B and D .
(1) Find the relationship of the Area of AOBD and t , that is to find

(2) Find the maximum value of A while 
.

2. A circle

has intersections with line
at point P and Q,
There's a point
and

  (1)when b=1 , find the value of k
  (2)when
find the domain of k .

These questions come from the 1st pre-test of College Entrance in China.

   1.


,
.
   (1) Find Sequence

   (2) compare
where m and k are integers but not equal.
   The above two are trivial .
  Here is the last question.
  (3)When q>1  , compare

#274 Re: Help Me ! » prove that » 2007-03-21 09:32:17

Janefairfax's proof is fantastic . I think it can also be solved by geometry ,  This maybe will give you a hint , ACO is part of a Heptagon , and BA is the extend of AC ,  CO vertical to BO , and Ao is one side of the Heptagon , length is 1. I didnt actually prove it , but Can this work?
