I can answer mostly any kind of question dealing with of Math 536 and below, my forte being in parabolic functions and analytical geometry. I'm currently learning Calculus III, and cannot answer questions that deal with subject matter more advanced than that. |
Hi Jillian! The subject line doens't match the question, and that has me confused. I'm nearly certain this problem depends on the shape of the triangle. There is a formula for finding the area of
We start with 64 people. Now 1/8 of the people is 8 people, so 3/8 of the peopleis 3*8 = 24. Since 3/8 of the people left, we have 64 - 24 = 40 people left. It then states 1/5 of the people leave
The smallest area can be found with calculus to be a square. Let w be the width. Since the area is 225, this makes the length 225/w. The total fencing is then F(w) = 2w + 2*225/w = 2w + 450/w.
Hi Zaheer! The dot product (aka scalar product) results in a scalar quantity. 2 vectors are combined and the result is a number that is the sum of the products of the like components. A "regular number"
Note that the diagonal can't be drawn to the same corner or either adjacent corner. The number of corners left is n-3, so that total is n(n-3), but that counts them all twice, since there is a point
