Anyone Need Math Help???

Oops!

I should have said that day 4 is 8.56 mg., not day 3. Thus:

day 1 2.14 mg.
day 2 4.28 mg.
day 3 6.42 mg.
day 4 8.56 mg.
etc.

At any rate, if someone were to ask me on day 45, "How many mg. of medicine have you gone through up till now?" I'd like to just plug in day 45 into a formula and come up with an answer. Hope this helps.

pretty sure my second post will cover that. try a few known values and see if it works

Sweet!

You da man, Abe21599! Muchas gracious!

uhhh i forgot to mention no proofs

As my current grader would say, every problem is a proof.
Needless to say, I hate her.

This was on a take home test...

Let P be a point inside the triangle ABC. The lines AP, BP and CP intersect the
circumcircle Γ of triangle ABC again at the points K, L and M respectively. The tangent to Γ at C intersects the line AB at S. Suppose that SC = SP. Prove that MK = ML.

Holla!:icon_eek:

Consider the "was," I'm assuming past test.

I don't like straight up solving problems for other people, so I'll say that SC = SP requires a special condition (similarities, maybe?) to occur and just leave it at that. Looks like a fun problem though. I actually miss trig. :icon_eek:

what about logic and/or math based riddles? are those allowed?

Ok, here's one of my favorites... it's logic more than pure math, but whatever.

There are two rooms - Room A has three light switches, Room B has three lightbulbs. You have to figure out, with 100% certainty, which switch controls which lightbulb. Here are the rules:

- You have 5 minutes to complete the task, or the world comes to an end!
- You cannot see from one room to another
- You can only go from Room A to Room B once, and you can't go back to Room A.
- You have no tools and can't see any wires - just your brains and bare hands.

How do you do it?

Still this is the hardest u can come up with? I forgot how to do this one but bare hands gave it away.

Turn on 2 switches A and B for 5 min then turn B off. Check the light bulb. If its on, its A. If its off but warm, its B. If its cold, its C.

Lol please I read all ofthese in like 8th grade gotta make them trickier haha

I didn't say it was the hardest, just one I'm a fan of. I hesitated when I typed bare hands... knew I shouldn't have - though I'm sure you would've gotten it anyway. Give me a few and I'll throw up another one that I *think* is a little tougher.
