You know what guarantees I won't look at your problem?

Using the words ASAP, or fast, or now, or anything similar in your title.

You're all quite fortunate to have the group of us here that answer your questions.

sub forums

It might be nice to have a few sub forums so we know better how to address given problems.

For example I suspect we sometimes use calculus to answer questions posted by people in pre-calculus classes.

Why do sometimes we get the option to filter out answered questions but sometimes we don't?

I'm concerned that we are just doing people's homework for them. That's no way to encourage people to actually learn the math.

help file?

Is there a help file somewhere on how to use the forum tools to get a decent math output display?
Does this board support LaTex?

sin2(x) = ½, what is cos2(x)

cos ²(x) + sin ²(x) = 1 for any x

so

cos ²(x) = 1 - sin ²(x) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

either click 2 and the trig function you want the inverse of

or left click on the trig function button and hold until it switches to inverse and release

If one side of a hexagon is 5xy+10z , what is the perimeter?

in general having the length of 1 side of a hexagon tells you nothing about the perimeter

if you mean a regular hexagon, where all the sides are the same length, then the perimeter is just 6 times the length of a side.

what is the ph of a 8.5810^-4 M solution of HBr?

chem isn't my strong subject but since HBr is very soluble in water I guess you assume that you have its molar mass in hydrogen ions

and so the pH is

pH = -log(8.58*10 ^-4) =

-log(8.58*10^(-4))=

1/2(1.5*10^(5))*(18)^2

1.5*10 ⁵ = 150000

1/2*150000 = 75000

18 ² = 324

324 * 75000 = 24300000 = 2.43 * 10 ⁷

so you are correct. The book isn't always right. Usually but not always.

I don't know if you understand English or not. I'm afraid I don't speak Russian.

The translation of your question is "what is a module number"?

What I think you're asking is what does (mod N) mean.

If I have some number X mod N this refers to the remainder resulting from X/N

for example if N=10

12 mod 10 = 2

because 12 = 2*10 + 2

similarly

2343243256243262343243 mod 10 is 3

so if K = X mod N

X = m*N + K where m is a (usually positive) integer

not real sure what you are asking.

If you've got a right triangle with legs a and b, and hypotenuse c,

and you know say a and c,

you can find b as

b = sqrt(c ² - a ²)

is that what you mean?

log4(1/4)

*cough*

1/4 = 4 ^(-1)

so log ₄(1/4) = -1
