I think it is really interesting. It looks much more difficult than it really needs to be. read more ..

Some guidelines for question askers.

Please note:
1) Ask only one question per post.
2) When asking a question talk about what you have tried for yourself. Then people will take you more seriously and will be more able and willing to help.
3) If you get an answer read more ..

Remeniscing - a little historical humour.

I just found this old post that some of you, who have been around for a while, might find amusing.

simplify 7a/15b^2 + b/18ab

This is the question that you have asked, is it what you intended?

simplify [ (7a/15)*b^2] + (b/18) *ab

or did you really mean

simplify 7a/(15b^2) + b/(18ab)

or maybe you meant something else ??

sorry, this isn't correct.
Try to google it to find the correct answer
Also, it is the surface area of a sphere that you want.

Try working your way through a log unit
maybe

log(x) - (1/2)log(x+4) = 1

log(x) - log(x+4) ^1/2 = 1

log[x/(x+4) ^1/2] = 1

Now I need to know what base it is in. I will assume base 10
x/(x+4) ^1/2 = 10
etc
This will lead to a quadratic equation that you will have to solve.

You should work through a unit on logs maybe

((e^(100x)*(100sin(120pi*x)-120pi*cos(120pi*x))/(14400pi^2+10000))/e^(100x=Q What is Q?
I re-presented the question as follows - is this what the question was?

[ (e^(100x)*(100sin(120pi*x)-120pi*cos(120pi*x))/(14400pi^2+10000) ] /e^(100x)=Q What is Q?

Q = [ (e^(100x)*(100sin(120pi*x)-120pi*cos(120pi*x))/(14400pi^2+10000) ] /e^(100x)

Q = 100sin(x)- 120pi*cos(x)/(14400pi^2+10000)

Q = 1000[0.1sin(x)- [0.120pi/(14400pi^2+10000)]*cos(x)]
--------------------------------
Now using Sin(x-A)=sinx * cosA - sinA * cosx
let
cosA=0.1
sinA= 0.12pi/(14400pi^2+10000)
tanA=0.12pi/(14400pi^2+10000)/0.1 = 1.2pi/(14400pi^2+10000)
A = 2.47821*10^(-5) (to 6 sf)
-----------------------------------
Q = 1000*sin[ x - atan(1.2pi/(14400pi^2+10000))] exact if I didn't make a mistake
Q = 1000*sin[ x - 2.47821*10^(-5)] (this answer is not exact)

I think that's right but I could easily have made a mistake.

11/50 * 870 Litres

It is actually
11Litres/50Km * 870km but the km cancel out. (You can cancel units just the same as you can cancel numbers)

(1-sqrt(2))^2-1/(sqrt(2-1

Do you mean

(1-sqrt(2))^2- {1/(sqrt(2)} -1 ??

Draw the diagram
use pythagoras to ger the third side
Read the ratios off the diagram.

remmeber the word
soh cah toa
sin=o/h
cos=a/h
tan/o/a

or if you prefer, you can remember
Some old hags
Can't always hide
their old age

co t=1 / tan
co sec=1 / sin
se c=1 / cos

I am trying to show you that the
first letter of original ratio = third letter of new one.
