  • wheel chair mount for a kia spectra?

    My wife and I drive a Kia Spectra. Often she needs to take a wheel chair with her. She can walk, but she has siezures occassionally and, when she does, walking is difficult if not impossible for a long while. But it's hard to put both groceries and a whel chair in the back of a Kia Spectira. Is there any way to put a whell chair mount on the back of the car?

  • four digit numbers with the half-double property?

    I noticed that the four digit number 6834 is both

    68x100 + 68/2

    and

    67*100 + 2*67

    What other four digit numbers have this property?

  • Suppose f(f(t)) = t for all real t.?

    Suppose f(f(t)) = t for all real t.

    Consider the graph of (x, y) = ( t - f(t), t + f(t)).

    Show that the graph is even, that is,

    for every point (x, y) on the graph, there is a point (-x, y) on the graph.

    Yet another look at pointy triangles.?

    In a previous YA question, Rita the dog defined:

    .....A positive integer n likes pointy triangles if there is a triangle with

    .....area=1/n, one side=1/n, and the other two sides rational numbers.

    The question was to show that infinitely many positive integers like pointy triangles.

    I found a way to generate pointy triangles and I want to present that method as a question.

    The method depends on the picture provided.

    If a right triangle has one side equal to 2, then there is a real number, ρ > 1, such that the other two sides of the triangle are ρ - 1/ρ and ρ + 1/ρ. The sides of the triangle are rational if and only if ρ is rational.

    So if we can find rational numbers α > 1 and β > 1, such that

    (α - 1/α) - (β - 1/β) = 1/n

    then there is a pointy triangle with sides (α + 1/α), (β + 1/β), and 1/n

    My question is this, find three pointy triangles such that αβ = 3/5. Hint. Let n = 15k.

  • Looking for 2-dense numbers?

    Say that N is dense if all of its prime factors are less than √N. Say that N is 2-dense if N and N+1 are dense. What is the smallest 2-dense greater than 200?

  • More about 1/x + 1/y = 1/z?

    Suppose

    x,y, and z are positive integers

    GCD(x, y, z) = 1

  • My first statistics question.?

    I have a big sack full of socks. It contains at least 900 but no more than 1000 individual socks. Each one of the socks is either black or blue, and there are more blue socks than black ones. They all mixed up in the sack, but if I reach into it and grab two socks at random, then I expect half of the time to pull out a matching pair.

    I have always been very careful when doing my laundry, and have only ever lost a single sock in my entire life.

    What color was that lost sock?

  • Representing rational right triangles.?

    Prove that the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are rational, if and only if there exists a rational numbers α > 1 such that the sides of the triangle are in the ratio 2 : α - 1/α : α + 1/α.
