Undergrad Solve for a,b,c,d: Hints & Tips
write the above equation like (a-1)(b-1) + (c-1)(d-1) = 5... also, because of the first condition the second term is greater than or equal to the first term...and since they are all positive integers..... can you work out the rest...?- geniusprahar_21

High School Can Cube Roots and Higher Roots Be Calculated Without a Calculator?
there is a way of calculating the square root of any number (without using a calculator of course). is there a similar way, or any way, in fact to calculate cube roots, fourth roots, etc. again without using a calculator??- geniusprahar_21

High School How to Simplify This Algebraic Expression?
are sure the expression in the denominator is x^2 - x^2y^2 + y^2 and not x^2 - xy + y^2- geniusprahar_21

Undergrad Solve Exponentials Problem: ln((V+v)/(V-v)) = 2ctV
there is something wrong in what u have written... first of all log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b)...what u have used is log(a+b) = log(a) * log(b)..even after that u have written something wrong...check it once more... anyway u don't need to use that...use the basic definition of logs... if ln(a)...- geniusprahar_21

Graduate Shollenbarger's Clock: Proving No Time Exists Where Hands Equidistant
conditions like: x,y,z should be integers...or atleast x and y should be integers(if u want to accept decimal seconds). further 0<= x <12... 0<= y <60 and 0 <= z < 60...with these conditions u'll never get an appropriate answer- geniusprahar_21

Graduate Shollenbarger's Clock: Proving No Time Exists Where Hands Equidistant
its not possible...one way of proving it is assume the time as xhrs, yhrs, and z secs...and put appropriate conditions on them... then find angles and solve...- geniusprahar_21

High School Construct 4-Digit Number: Greatest to Smallest
the answer is 6, 1, 7, and 4 *just for knowledge, the number 6174(the answer) is called the Kaprekar Constant. If you do with this number, exactly as written above, then you always get the number back...- geniusprahar_21

Can Hydrogen undergo PI bonding?
its not always necessary that there be a sigma bond for the formation of a pi bond. the C2 molecule(yes, such a molecule exists), consists of only two pi bonds, making a double bond. however, in most cases a double bond is made up of one sigma and one pi bond, but not in this case.- geniusprahar_21

High School Understanding Triangle Medians and Their Proportions
the centroid of a triangle has many 2:1 properties. consider triangle ABC, with medians AD, BE, and CF. 1. Centroid G divides medians in the ratio 2:1, so that \frac{AG}{GD} = \frac{BG}{GE} = \frac{CG}{GF} = \frac {2}{1} 2. the centroid G divides the line joining the circumcentre O...- geniusprahar_21

What Happens to Liquid Height in Short Capillary Tubes?
I don't know if there is a special place for fluids. so i'll post it here... When a tube of small radius is placed in a liquid, the liquid rises or falls in the tube, due to adhesive and cohesive forces. also the height of the liquid in the tube is given by h = \frac { 2 T...- geniusprahar_21

Undergrad Polynomial Expansion: Find Number of Terms in Any Expansion
well, there is a quick solution to your question hypermonkey2, though i do not know the proof... the number of solutions to a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + \dots + a_nx_n = p \ where \ b_i \leq x_i \leq c_i \mbox{for}\ 1 \leq i \leq n is given by the coefficient of t^n in the expression \prod (...- geniusprahar_21

Undergrad Polynomial Expansion: Find Number of Terms in Any Expansion
Clearly, each term in the expansion of (a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots + a_{n})^y will have degree y. Let an arbitary term be a_{1}^{p}a_{2}^{q}a_{3}^r\dots then according to the condition p+q+r...=y. Thus, find the number of integer solutions of the above equation. that's your required number of...- geniusprahar_21

High School Imagine two high-voltage-masts/poles
the cable will be hanging down in the shape of a parabola...right?? if yes, then you get a really bad equation in natural logs and roots and stuff. but...it can be solved to get the the distance.- geniusprahar_21
