Remeniscing - a little historical humour.

There is a formula but I don't use it and I can never remember what it is because it is not necessary.

I'd just say (40/360)*2pi*r = 3000

Then just solve the equation.

Guest's Google translation - Russian to English

"First you say that that is the currency of "4106011" if "4106011" is in Russia, the Russian dollar "$ 127,635" and cents "0,35" ¢."

Hey Kem,

if cscθ = x+6/x-2 and ctnθ = x+5/x-2 find θ

Hi Diaanaa,

I am having problems with your question.
Before I try further I just want to make sure that you meant

If Cosec(theta) = x + (6/x) - 2
and cotangent(theta) = x + (5/x) - 2
find theta

(We dont use the shortened versions csc and ctn in Australia, we use cosec and cot)

Please let me know if my interpretation of the question is correct.

Probabilities must be between 0 and 1 inclusive
If something cannot happen, the probability is 0
If something has to happen the probability is 1
So you probability of 3 doesn't make any sense.

Maybe you meant P(black or gold) = 3/7
There are 9 marbles that are either black or gold
Let there be x white marbles.
So the number of marbles altogether is 3+6+2+6+x = 17+x

so 9/(17+x) = 3/7
Now just solve it as a little equation to get the value of x.

no it doesn't have to be
example

root12 and root3 are both irrational but

root12/root3 = 2

Divide both sides by 2
Subtract 6x from both sides
Divide both sides by the number in front of the x (the x coefficient)
the answer will be negative.

The number of ways 5 numbers can be selected from 54 is
54C5 = 54!/(5!*49!) = 3162510

The number of ways you can select 4 things from 5 is 5C4 = 5

So the probability of being a small fry winner is 5/3162510

The probability of being any winner is 6/3162510

This is an irrational number unless your base is some power of 5 so the the best exact answer is
0.34log5

Ans yes, if you want an estimate and it is base 10 or base e do it on your calculator.
