A new company president is said to have caused the company "to do a 180." Before the new president, the company was losing money. What is the company most likely doing under the new president? A 180 is a completely different direction. Since 180 degrees means the other way, a half-circle, a switch in direction. This means if the company was losing money, after doing a "180", they're making money.

A student and the marine biologist are together at t = 0. The student ascends more slowly than the marine biologist. Write an equation of a function that could represent the student's ascent. Please keep in mind the slope for the marine biologist is 12. Slope means rise over run. In this case, rise is the ascent distance and run is the time. 12 = 12/1, so for each second of time, the marine biologist ascends 12 units of distance If the student ascends slower, than the total distance gets reduced by an unknown factor, let's call it c. So we have the student's ascent function as: [B]y(t) = 12t - c[/B]

A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet. [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=3&hypinput=5&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Using the Pythagorean Theorem[/URL], the other leg -- the height of each post -- is 4 feet.

Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework and ¼ of her remaining time riding her bike. If she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week, how much time did she devote to homework in the same week If Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework, she has 1 - 2/5 time left over. We convert 1 to a fraction using a denominator of 5, we get: 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5 And Amanda spent 1/4 of 3/5 of her time bike riding, which means she spent: 1(3)/4(5) = 3/20 of her time. If the total time after school is t, we have: 3t/20 = 45 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=3t&num2=45&den1=20&den2=1&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']Typing in 3t/20 = 45 to our search engine[/URL], we get t = 300.

Jonathan earns a base salary of $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15% of his sales each month. How much will Jonathan and Raymond have to sell in order to earn the same amount each month? [U]Step 1: Set up Jonathan's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U] S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary 10% written as a decimal is 0.1. We want decimals to solve equations easier. S(m) = 0.1m + 1500 [U]Step 2: Set up Raymond's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U] S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary 15% written as a decimal is 0.15. We want decimals to solve equations easier. S(m) = 0.15m + 1200 [U]The question asks what is m when both S(m)'s equal each other[/U]: The phrase [I]earn the same amount [/I]means we set Jonathan's and Raymond's sales equations equal to each other 0.1m + 1500 = 0.15m + 1200 We want to isolate m terms on one side of the equation. Subtract 1200 from each side: 0.1m + 1500 - 1200 = 0.15m + 1200 - 1200 Cancel the 1200's on the right side and we get: 0.1m - 300 = 0.15m Next, we subtract 0.1m from each side of the equation to isolate m 0.1m - 0.1m + 300 = 0.15m - 0.1m Cancel the 0.1m terms on the left side and we get: 300 = 0.05m Flip the statement since it's an equal sign to get the variable on the left side: 0.05m = 300 To solve for m, we divide each side of the equation by 0.05: 0.05m/0.05 = 300/0.05 Cancelling the 0.05 on the left side, we get: m = [B]6000[/B]

Use proof by contradiction. Assume sqrt(2) is rational. This means that sqrt(2) = p/q for some integers p and q, with q <>0. We assume p and q are in lowest terms. Square both side and we get: 2 = p^2/q^2 p^2 = 2q^2 This means p^2 must be an even number which means p is also even since the square of an odd number is odd. So we have p = 2k for some integer k. From this, it follows that: 2q^2 = p^2 = (2k)^2 = 4k^2 2q^2 = 4k^2 q^2 = 2k^2 q^2 is also even, therefore q must be even. So both p and q are even. This contradicts are assumption that p and q were in lowest terms. So sqrt(2) [B]cannot be rational. [MEDIA=youtube]tXoo9-8Ewq8[/MEDIA][/B]

Prove the following statement for non-zero integers a, b, c, If a divides b and b divides c, then a divides c.

Let us take an integer x which is both even [I]and[/I] odd. [LIST] [*]As an even integer, we write x in the form 2m for some integer m [*]As an odd integer, we write x in the form 2n + 1 for some integer n [/LIST] Since both the even and odd integers are the same number, we set them equal to each other 2m = 2n + 1 Subtract 2n from each side: 2m - 2n = 1 Factor out a 2 on the left side: 2(m - n) = 1 By definition of divisibility, this means that 2 divides 1. But we know that the only two numbers which divide 1 are 1 and -1. Therefore, our original assumption that x was both even and odd must be false. [MEDIA=youtube]SMM9ubEVcLE[/MEDIA]
