AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving complex translation and calculation problems, primarily in biology and mathematics. A biologist needs to determine the correct mixture of three substances to achieve specific nutritional values, while also addressing polynomial division and trigonometric equations. Participants are encouraged to show their work for each problem, emphasizing a step-by-step approach. Additionally, there are questions related to blood group statistics and integration, as well as true or false statements about mathematical equations. The overall tone suggests a collaborative effort to tackle these challenging problems effectively.

Not exactly homework, but I still need help with them... I'm translating, so bare with me.

A biologist needs a mix of substances that consists of 23g of proteins, 6.2g of fat and 16g fluids. He has three substances of the following composition:

Code:
                  protein (%) fat (%) fluids (%)
substance 1      20           2         15
substance 2      10           6         10
substance 3      15           5         5

How much of substance 1 does the biologist have to use in a mix with the other 2 substances to obtain the mix asked for?

If x^4 + 4x^3 + 6px^2 + 4qx + r can be divided by x^3 + 3x^2 + 9x + 3, then what is p (q+r) ?


3
What value does x have in the equation 2 cos^2 (3x + 30°) = 1 ?

I think it's 155, but I got that through hit and miss. Also, can't use my calculator.

In a study of ABO blood groups 6000 people have been tested. 1846 of them didn't have antigen A, nor antigen B. 2527 were positive for antigen A. 2234 were positive for antigen B. What percentage was found positive for both antigens?


5
What's the value of \int_{0}^{e-1} \frac{x-1}{x+1} dx ?

Possible answers are e-5, e-3, e-1, 0.

True or false?
-The equation y^2 - 6y + 1 = 4x is a parabole with maximum (-2,3)
-The equation y^2 + x^2 - 6y - 4x + 4 = 0 is a cirkel with radius 2.


7
At a certain production of CO2 in the human body, the arterial partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is in inverse relationship with alveolar ventilation. If the alveolar ventilation increases from 5 to 6.25 liters a minute, how much will pCO2 decrease (%) ?

Thanks a lot!

Wow, a ****load of homework, which you're supposed to work on...really. You'll need to show some work, how would you approach each problem...take it a step at a time.
 
It's not homework. TD helped me with it already - thanks though
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
