Mathematics is a branch of science though...

Back at cha...why not?

Your answer matches the answer that's supposed to be the one given. I don't see how c=5, b=6 can be part of a real solution so it must be assumed that all of the possible real circles is what was intended by the text book. I get the same answer as you with that set.

You would not need the planes on both side simply to calculate the radii of the circles. The second set of planes on the other side of P would be symmetric to the others. I also assumed there are only 3 circles, one drawn by the 5" ray on the plane 2" from P, one drawn by the 7" ray on the plane 4" from P and one drawn by the 9" ray on the plane 6" from P. As you said, the 5" ray would obviously not reach the 6" plane. The sum of the squares of the 3 circles I described is 99 so it seems like there is some missing information.

I too looked at this and found myself needing to make assuptions because the description wasn't clear enough. From what the OP described I envisioned 3 planes parallel to P 2", 4" and 6 inches from P that contained the 3 circles such that all of the points on those circles would lie 2", 4" or 6" from P. I then imagined 3 rays, 5", 7" and 9" long originating from point t, and revolving about m to make the circles on the planes where each circle would be the base of a cone on each of the respective planes and the rays would be the hypotenuse of the triangles described in Mr. Skeptic's post. This scenario does not lead to either of the answers given by the OP.

Since the base wasn't specified try doing it mentally in base 5 for an extra challenge. The answer could be [math]1200_5[/math]. BTW, tried hiding this answer but I found the hide tags don't work with the math tags.

I think that's all your teachers have been trying to get you to see. Accidents happen and should be avoidable if everyone takes the right precautions.

Back at 'ya... What is an appropriately rounded amount for 23.44? Would 23 or 23.5 be the better answer?

Yeah, you should be able to run and endanger others as you desire, your time is all that matters. However, anyone you run into should be entitled to beat the hell out of you with a ball bat for running into them when you should have been more considerate of others in the first place. Any thoughts?

I vote for C as a launch pad to programming.

Or SFN for that matter

Is that so your code can be parsed and compiled every time it runs instead of just once?

I was just playing with it yesterday. It looks promising....

All of the alleged news agencies, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc., are nothing more than pulpits or soapboxes for the powers-that-be within their respective organizations. They are all biased and untrustworthy. If you want truth aggregate the reports yourself from the lot of them and try to look for the common elements in the content and then take that with a grain of salt.

Paying taxes is NOT giving money to charity. You are the one that seems to misunderstand the whole democracy thing which is technically "mob rule". BTW, the U.S. is NOT a democracy, it is a Constitution-based federal republic with a strong democratic tradition. It is NOT a majority rules system. It is a system designed to protect the minority from the whims of the majority. To protect individual rights from being trampled by the mob. Would it be OK with you, for instance, if a majority suddenly decided we are going to harvest organs from prisoners and we're going to take money away from the people to pay for it? Just because a majority is in favor of something does not make it morally right and does not mean the minority should just chip in and keep their mouth shut.

Small nitpick. There is no "government funded" anything, it is taxpayer funded. The government has no money of it's own, only the money it takes away from the people.

You forgot the link to dhmo.org...

Me too...

Actually a hydraulic specialist is a mechanical engineer that specializes in hydraulic systems....

When the brand new Xubuntu installation on my lappy connected flawlessly to the wlan at the breakfast shop I frequent

Sometimes you don't have time to look for the book or look the function up in the book when you do find the book. My hydraulic specialist test was a timed 4 hour test and I finished it in about 2 hours. It was also an open book test for the reason you mention. Some of the people taking the test that day were not fast enough with their books and didn't finish the test in the allotted 4 hours. They got to take it again. I have also been with clients that are asking questions like, "how much power will I need for this or that..." and I have needed to calculate on the fly. I could have just told them I'd get back to them but my competition might impress them more with an immediate answer. There are problems that I reserve for the desk with the time to use my reference materials but some problems need a faster response if possible and memorized formulas make that possible.

Intrinsic simply means natural because it is something an electron has by nature and not by any action or force arising externally to the electron. From the same source: Feel free to contact Ames and correct them if you disagree.

Are they also stationary in their orbits about their nuclei?

Actually it is since it's a result of the spin of the individual electrons and the alignment of that spin.

Actually I am. Magnetism is the result of the electron's alignment, not their movement.
