Math Is Fun Forum

Woo my first ever right answer on the help me forum filled me with confidence for my exam next week

Ok.. i dont know if im right... but heres what i did:

So my answer is 4284.219735 cubic feet....is that right anyone?

Yep thats exactly what i meant! the papers ive been doing mostly ask to estimate the mean from a c.f. diagram... so i now know to use (n+1)/2 to find the middle value. Thanks

Its ok. I find it impossible to understand the concept of 'infinity'. I dont think anyone can. So, it feels more logical if that 'line' is in fact a circle - so we are not going 'infinitely' slowly, yet we can never reach the end, as there is no end.

What would 0.999999...9² be? Wouldn't it have a 1 and an 8 in it? so it couldnt equal 1, but 1² = 1?

Thats kinda what im saying - if the end of time will never be reached, then the end of time will never happen.

But surely if it takes infinitely long to reach that point in time, that point in time will never be reached - so it will never happen?

Slightly changing the subject but not completely - how does everyone think the universe was created? I dont think it was the 'Big Bang'. The big bang theory says the universe started from an extremely hot and dense state, and has been expanding for around 14 billion years. But where did the material that started the big bang come from? And if there was no universe, what was it in?

ooh... are you at uni or what?

im 15.... in the middle of my gcses... the next one's maths

im hoping for minimum of 9 A*s and 2 As

ok you may never be able to reach the end of that interval, but you can still imagine the end whilst not being there? what would the edge a universe that is both infinite and expanding look like? and what is it expanding into?

That ws really good! Why only in 2007 though?
