Math Trivia-How man old math books does the algebra teacher have?
Q. This is a bonus question that my math teacher game me: I have a very strange algebra teacher that collects old math books. One day I asked him how many old math books he has. Being a math teacher he responded "If i divide the books into two unequal whole numbers, then 64 times the difference between the two numbers equals the difference between the squares of the two numbers". How man old math books does the algebra teacher have? Please give me the correct answer with the solution Thanks

A. Let x be one number Let y be the other 64(x - y) = x^2 - y^2 64(x - y) = (x - y)(x +y) 64 = x + y Therefore, 64 books.

A. The number zero was invented by the Indians (from India). The smallest prime after 1, is 2, the only even number. A perfect number in one whose product and sum of its factors are the same. Smallest is 6. If you memorize squares, memorize only up to 25, because the last 2 numbers repeat in reverse order to 50, then each 50 after that, does so again. There are 3 transcendental numbers.

Q. Yesterday, Lindsay went for a long bicycle ride around the canyon. As the ride was quite long, she rode in various stages. In the first stage she rode half of the overall distance. Stage two saw half of the remaining distance plus 35 yards covered. Stage three covered three-quarters of the remaining distance. Stage four completed half of the remaining distance plus 75 yards. Stage five completed the journey with a final burst of 150 yards. How many yards did Lindsay cycle in total? Thank you!!!
Asked by KirKie - Mon Mar 17 12:25:41 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Work backwards. Stage 4 covered half the remaining distance plus 75 yards and left 150 yards for stage 5, so at the beginning of stage 4, there must have been 2 * (150+75) = 450 yards to go. Stage three covered 3/4 of the remainder at that time, so at the beginning of stage 3 there must have been 4 * 450 = 1800 yards to go. Stage two covered half of what was left at its beginning + 35 yards, so at the beginning of stage 2 there must have been 2 * (1800 + 35) = 3670 yards to go. The first stage covered half the total, so that 3670 covered in the last four stages is the other half, and the total is 7340 yards if my arithmetic is right.
