    3 by 3 chessboard

    Many assumptions can be made as playing it's best wasn't established whether its to kill when it can or not. Likewise, a win wasn't specified, but based on chess rules I would think a win is only if one player has killed the three other players.. Assuming kill when you can, I drew out some...

    3 by 3 chessboard

    you have a 3 by 3 chessboard with 3 white pawns and 3 black pawns. given white goes first and both teams play their best what is the outcome? is the outcome a draw always since pawns can only move forward and kill diagonally. This means that the middle pawn can only kill either the left or...

    Basic Operations

    Giving the question, we know that 3 less than twice x is, (2x - 3) We also know that 2 more than the quantity of 3 times x is, (3x + 2) Taking the product of them we get (2x - 3) (3x + 2) Using FOIL(first outside inside last) we get: 6x^2 + 4x - 9x - 6 By simplifying we get 6x^2 - 5x - 6...

    Vector Spaces

    I'm not sure whether or not this is correct, but I am going to go with no. A counter-example could be. Let x = y = z = 1 Let c = 5 which would give us cx - cy + 1 = e^cz 5 - 5 + 1 = e^(5)(1) 1 = e^5 which is not true.

    Vector Spaces

    Let H be a subset of R3, defined by: W={(x, y, z) : x - y + 1 = e^z}. Is H a subspace of R3? To determine if H is a subspace of R3, we need to satisfy the three properties. The zero vector of R3 is in H because substituting x = y = z = 0 into x - y + 1 = e^0 gives us a valid expression. I am...

    how many ways can 4 married couples be arranged

    If each man sits beside his wife the men and women would have designated seating so to speak. If men and women only alternate, this means they don't have to sit beside their wive and they can sit beside any females. You can try treating the men and women as one person if they have to alternate.

    Easier Algebraic Solution

    I saw this a while ago, I got a kick out of it. I also like the one where it has a triangle and says find x with x being the hypotenuse. The person circles x and writes beside it "found it."

    one Solve for the unknown prob

    Rearrange it so you have the t isolated. 42 = 7t - 42 42 + 42 = 7t 84 = 7t 84 / 7 = t 12 = t

    find Circumference of Circle, given radius

    C\; = \;\Pi \; \times \;d Is the equation to find the circumference of a circle. You know the radius is 6. The diameter is twice the radius. This makes the diameter 12. C\; = \;\Pi \; \times \;12 \cr C\; = \;37.7 \cr

    Finding Acceleration

    Posting your work so we can see what you have done would be better next time. However, **Edit** Vector symbols don't seem to show up for me, so I left them out - Make sure you include them. \[ \begin{array}{l} a\; = \;\frac{v}{t} \\ a\; = \;\frac{{ - 16\;m/s\; - \;0\;m/s}}{{7\;s\; -...

    Proof: prove area of shaded lune equals area of triangle

    I am so confused with this. Would r sqrt 2 not be the diameter? AO^2 + OB^2 = AB^2 AO = r and OB = r thus, r^2 + r^2 = AB^2 2r^2 = AB^2 sqrt both sides r sqrt2 = AB then the radius would be 1/2 r sqrt 2 A = pi (1/2 r sqrt2)^2 / 2 A = pi 1/4 r^2 (2) / 2 A = 2pi r^2 / 8 A = pi r^2 / 4 is that...

    Proof: prove area of shaded lune equals area of triangle

    I understand that the first one is suppose to be the area of a semicircle. the area of a circle is pir^2 since it is a semi circle we would need to divide that by 2. therefore it would be pir^2 / 2. To find out the diameter you would use pythagorean. By doing this you would have the diameter...

    Can you please explain it? I don't understand how you got r^2 pi / 4 for the area of the semicircle.

    Proof: prove area of shaded lune equals area of triangle

    The right angle triangle has legs of length r and a right angle at O. A quarter of a circle is consturcted with the centre O and a radius of r. A semicircle is construted with a diameter of AB. Prove that the area of the shaded lune is equal to the area of triangle AOB. Area of the...
