Can you think of a case where precision would be more important than accuracy? How about a case where accuracy would be more important than precision?
A painting.
An impressionist will use precise strokes of the brush to impress a feeling but accuracy of what they're painting will worsen the painting.
Quantum mechanics.
If you want to measure the magnitude of a subatomic particle then accuracy will measure it accurately but the precision will reuire its position. According to the Heisenburg Principle cannot be calculated.

If your boyfriend has sex with you without a condom and doesn't try to cum in you when he is close pulls out what are really the chances of getting pregnant from discharge?
I do not know the precise chances but there is a fluid called 'precum' that lines the penis so that the semen can pass through more easily. Although this does not contain any semen it may wash through some sperm that were already in there from the most previous ejaculation. This is felt but quite more subtly than the actual ejaculation. So basically, without contraception there is...

Answer to:
Why is this statement wrong? "A rock is thrown straight into the air. At the peak its acceleration is zero." To me, at the peak it is neither speeding up, slowing down or turning, it's just hanging there. Therefore, zero acceleration...right?
On the way up the rock is decelerating (-g) and on the way down the rock is accelerating (+g). In order for the acceleration to go from a negative to a positive it MUST pass through zero. Once it decelerates to a zero velocity it is no longer moving and thus has zero acceleration.

(x by y)what is the formula to find the distance from 0x0 to a point? and 2nd question if i know the distance from me to a object as N and how tall it is as M what would the formula be for figuring out the angle from me to the top of said object? thanks
The graph demonstrates that the distance from (0,0) to (x,y) is = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
The diagram of a tree demontrates that the angle from the ground is = arctan(M/N). For the angle from your eyes/height, merely minus that from M.

A hound was chasing a fox. whenever the hound took 4 leaps, the fox took 5. If 3 hound leaps cover the same distance as 4 fox leaps, the fox's head start was equal to 90 hound leaps, how many leaps did the hound need to catch the fox
Let's say that a hound's leap is 4", therefore a fox's leap will be 3".
Every time that the hound takes 4 leaps the fox will take an extra leap. So after 4 hound leaps its distance covered will be 16" and the fox will cover 4*3+3=15"

Answer to:
The slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4 is undefined? is it always or sometimes. (can u give me hints)
Slope is calculated by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Seeing as every point on this line gives (4-4)/(x2-x1)
= 0/(x2-x1) = 0, i.e. horizontal.
This means that for any y = a the gradient is 0, not undefined.
The only way you could get a slope as undefined is if it is vertical:
x = 4.
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (y2-y1)/(4-4) = (y2-y1)/0 = undefined

Would a bullet fired from a gun travel faster in the vacuum of space than it would on Earth?
Assuming that the gun is kept stationary then yes. Less friction (drag), less decelleration and a greater speed. If the gun is not kept stationary then the bullet's speed will be less. This is because the explosive force is not focused upon the bullet but everything around the bullet (the backfire).

Answer to:
In thermosyphoning does the cold water fall because its heavier or is it the reverse
Temperature isn't affected by density. The 'hot' molecules vibrate more and thus take up more space around them making the object expand with the same mass, hence it becomes lighter. The 'cool' molecules are vibrating less and thus take up less space around them making the object contract with the same mass, hence it becomes heavier.

How do you find the inverse function?
2X+1 all over X.
and/or
5 all over the square root of X.
You replace the x for the f(x) (inverse of f(x) will be represented as f(x)'):
f(x) = (2x+1)x^-1
= 2 + x^-1
x = 2 + f(x)'^-1
f(x)'^-1 = x - 2
f(x)' = (x - 2)^-1
f(X) = 5X^-.5
X = 5f(X)'^-.5
f(X)'^-.5 = X/5
f(X)'^.5 = 5/X
f(X)' = (5/X)^2

A triangle ABC has vertices at A(4,1) and B(9,6). The vertex C lies along the line y=(1/2)x-1. If the length of BC is 5, prove mathematically that there are two possible points for vertex C and find their co-ordinates?
In green you have the coordinates A & B.
In blue you have y = x/2 - 1.
In magenta you have a cirle with radius 5 and centred at B.
Granted, the circle is not accurate but it indicates that the two points possible along y that will give a triangle with the distance between B & C as 5 will be (14,6); 14*.5 - 1 = 6 & (6,2); 6*.5 - 1 = 2.

Energy makes up matter but can exist in its own right. So the amount of matter now is not necessarily the amount there was a second ago or a thousand years ago.

A simple expression like this I would work out the first few terms:
n=1: (-1)^1/(1*2^1)=-1/2
n=2: (-1)^2/(2*2^2)=1/8
n=3: (-1)^3/(3*2^3)=-1/24
The results are alternating between positive and negative and are getting less and less. Therefore converging to 0.

Mathematics is nothing more than logic. As long as there is something for mathematics to apply to then there has been mathematics. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, according to the 1st Law of Thermodynamics (roughly). So energy has always been and always will, therefore so has/too mathematics.

Can an object have a positive velocity and a negative displacement?
EXPLAIN PLEASE!!!
Velocity is quantified by its movement from one position to another in a time frame. Therefore it requires speed and direction. So something moving north at a speed of 1o mph has a velocity of 10 mph going north or -10 mph going south.
If something is made up of matter then it will have to move things out of the way in order to be there.

a^2 + (a + 1.9)^2 = c^2
a^2 + a^2 + 3.8a + 3.61 = 7.84
2a^2 + 3.8a - 4.23 = 0
(-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/(2a)
Therefore a = 0.787 to 3 d.p.
& a = -2.687 to 3 d.p.

With all the giving and receiving of stuff in Beowulf, why doesn't Beowulf loot Grendel's mother's hoard? Looting a defeated enemy's possessions doesn't seem to be a problem elsewhere in the story, except for the cursed dragon's hoard.
He doesn't defeat her, he makes a bargain with her.

If the artificial elements are made by "slamming" several natural elements together, why can't we do this to form gold?
We probably can. It's just that the amount we get of the element is several particles (if that) and the amount spent to attain such particles grossly outweighs the value of gold.

Answer to:
Why are oxidation and reduction considered as complementary processes?
Complementary usually means 'it fills in the gaps left by the other one'. Oxidation is really just the removal of electrons and reduction is just the addition of electrons (reduces the charge). If one happens somewhere in a reaction then so must the other.
Answer to:
Which of d following changes would b considered as redox? y? -burning of magnesium ribbon -electrolysis of water -thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide -formation of sodium sulfate from sulfuric acid and NaOH
Redox means reduction or oxidation, i.e. the addition of electrons or oxygen.
The burning of a Magnesium ribbon will turn it into MgO, the addition of an Oxygen atom. Thus oxidation and hence a redox reaction.
Electrolysis of water merely separates the ions in water, it doesn't add any electrons or Oxygen atoms. Hence not a redox reaction.

There are only two ways that I can see that hot water will look cloudy:
1) The bubbles created by boiling water may give a cloudy look.
2) In most places the water from the taps are quite saturated in limescale. When boiling such water you are separating the H2O from the limescale and as such the limescale floats around in the water. Limescale is white and will give a cloudy look.

There's no such thing as 'atheistic fundementalism'! Atheists, on the whole, don't care about the Nativity and crosses in Christian schools. He was right in saying "Any kind of fundamentalism, be it Biblical, atheistic or Islamic, is dangerous." In my view there should be no religious schools, whether it be Christian, Islamic, Hindu etc. because that brings about...

People from Italy are called Italians, Norway - Norwegians, Russia - Russians. But why is it that people from the Netherlands or Holland are called Dutch? The name is very far from the name of the country.
The word 'Dutch' comes from Old German and is basically the same as the Old German for 'German': deutsch. Over the years the word has evolved a little like most words (Angleland into England). The reason for this is simple; before 1581 the Netherlands were part of the Holy Roman Empire or more specifically part of Germany. The people from the Netherlands were Germans and as...

If I was to intersect TWICE, i.e. with two different lines, one at -4 and one at 4. The left hand side of the -4 intersect will be 8 units shorter than the left hand side of the 4 and vice versa. Yet, as you said, both sides of the intersect is infinitely long. Thus the actual answer to the question is that it will be intersected AND bisected at any point!

Which theory is correct, Newtons or Einsteins-Regarding Quatum Physics?
Newtonian physics deals with the very large, above the size of an atom. Einstein's theories deal primarily with time. So neither are really apt for Quantum Physics but Einstein's theories will still apply to the very small, below the size of the atom. Both system of theories are correct but Newtonian is less applicable than the other.

If a person comes to America as an adult, does his accent ever fade? Or is the accent more likely to fade if you come to America as a young person?
Yes, one's accent tends to emulate the accent of one's peers. The older you are the less likely your accent will change, old habits die hard! A younger person is still learning how to sya certain things and will learn from their peers. Also adults aren't as concerned with bieng an outsider, with accent at least, as a child is so a child is more likely to adopt the accent and fit...

"Equally, chimp society is not monogamous" (http://www.sensualism.com/beauty/chimpanzees.html), so safe to say that biologically it isn't OUR natural mating habit.

Jim can fill up a pool in 30 min. Sue fills up the same pool in 45 min and Toni in 1h and 30 min. How quick all 3 of them can fill the pool together with water?
For argument's sake let's say that the pool is 1,000,000 L.
J fills the pool at a rate of (60/30) 2,000,000 L/hr
S fills the pool at a rate of (60/45) 1,333,333 1/3 L/hr
T fills the pool at a rate of (60/90) 666,666 2/3 L/hr
2,000,000 + 1,333,333 1/3 + 666,666 2/3 = 4,000,000 L/hr
1,000,000 L / 4,000,000 L = 1/4 hr

Also I believe that once the ability to decide and act is gone then so is the extsnace of the soul.

We cannot forget our past, no matter how horrible it is! We did what we did and hopefully the next generation will learn from our mistakes.

Could the 96% of the gravitaional effects in this universe not caused by visible matter be the result of gravitons passing from brane to brane instead of 'Dark Matter'/'Dark Energy'?
Don't read this, I scrolled down too far and typed this into the 'answer' box' and not the 'comment box'!
Surely, like a vacuum, the overall effect of gravitons passing freely from brane to brane will seem stable on the macro-level?
dv/dt is positive at the moment but it is theorized that it isn't constant and can change over time to be negative.

Answer to:
How can I find the base of an isoceles triangle when I only know the area is 24 square feet and the legs are 8ft. I need to find the base.
One could use Heron's formula: If the sides of a triangle are labelled a, b & c and S = (a+b+c)/2 then the area of the triangle = [S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)]^.5
In this case:
Area = 24
S = (a+8+8)/2
= (a+16)/2
= 8+a/2
a = unknown
b = 8
c = 8
24 = [(8+a/2)(8+a/2-a)(8+a/2-8)(8+a/2-8)]^.5
576 = (8+a/2)(8-a/2)(a/2)(a/2)
= (64-(a/2)^2)(a/2)^2
(a/2)^2 = u
576 = u(64-u)

The domain of a function is the numbers that will go into the equation and give an answer.
In this case, we're dealing with square roots. The square root of a negative number doesn't exist, thus sqrt (B) will only give an answer if B >= 0. In your equation B = 18 - 3x. Therefore:
18 - 3x >= 0
-3x >= -18
x <= 6
So the domain of this equation is (infinity,6]

Any calculator can do that!

For example, Polaris is about 430 light years away (2,527,810,000,000,000 miles)
Lets say you were travelling at the speed of sound (769 mph)
2,527,810,000,000,000/769 ~= 3,287,140,000,000
~= 374,994,892 yrs, 5 wks, 1 day, 12 hrs, 34 mins & 55.2 secs!

The Moon orbits around the middle of the Earth in relation to the Sun and does not orbit Earth's equator. So as the Sun is closer in summer and farther away in winter, as is the Moon.

Answer to:
Estimate the result in the following division problem(Remember to round divisors to the nearest ten and dividends to the nearest hundred.) 612 divided by 32
By that method:

612/32 = 306/16
~= 300/15
= 20 (granted in this example it is the same but usually a better estimate)

No. The rules are there for a reason. Scholarships are not meant to be a way out for those who can't achieve the higher grades they are so that those with a worthwhile talent can also learn at a higher level. Just like any other subject you need to have the background knowledge and understanding of the others in order to persue that chosen subject at a higher level.

Many people believe that death is not the end, so why accept its existance if it merely another stage. In my opinion many people get reminded of it in subtle ways but don't want to think about it because of the pain it brings. As they do not want to think about it they do no think about it and do not consider that each passing moment could in fact be your last, SO BLOODY WELL ENJOY IT!

Descartes said "I think therefore I am" as a proof for his own existence. Extrapolating from that, can any individual prove that a second individual exists? How can one prove to themselves that another person exists beyond their imagination?
If they provide information that you have never come across before. Lets say that someone told me about the mating habits of the shrimp at the volcanic vents on the seabed, I'm pretty sure I've never come across that information before. Thus the source of that information wasn't from me. Ergo, the sorce must exist outside of my imagination.

Why do most Americans call them "koala bears"?
"The Koala's scientific name (Phascolarctos cinereus) comes from the Greek: phaskolos meaning "pouch" and; arktos meaning "bear". The cinereus epithet is Latin and means "ash-coloured"."

So the species is called the pouched, ash-coloured bear and it's stuck colloquially.

Those hives that had honeycombs closer to the shape of the hexagon worked more efficiently and used least material so they survived better. They produced more bees where the other hives produced less than the more successful ones. Eventually the...

How can I know that causality actually exists? After all, we cannot predict the future. Could it be that all of the "cause and effect" that we experience is merely correlation and will eventually unravel and give way to chaos?

If I get drunk then I'll feel sick etc.
It won't necessarily unravel but get destroyed. The planet Earth is doomed to be destroyed by the Sun as it grows in about 5 milliard yaers, the universe is growing but at one point will shrink into nothingness (The Big Crunch).

Answer to:
If Numbers and Letters got in a fight, who would win? Place your bets.
Numbers because if you keep wiping them out, i.e. taking them away, you get even more (negative numbers). Besides, the numbers cannot die because there is even a number for nothing, zero, and the letters have 'space' (which isn't even a letter)! Also the numbers can duplicate - 9 9s giving you 81, all the letters can do is a H - giving you only one H. Letters are bound by rules,...

Quite the reverse I think. The newer the religion the more science it must include in its preachings and explanations, thus making it less redundant and incorrect.

If a man is not with is girlfriend/wife on most FRiday and Saturday night do you think most would be out with another woman?
No. Out drinking with his male friends with the odd female friend perhaps but not in a way that could jeopardize the relationship. It's just that we need a little 'testosterone' time if you know what I mean. How many times during the week do you women meet up and do girly things like chat at the hairdressers and spend hours shopping? That's what it's like for us men.

Answer to:
Adding the numbers from 1 to 10 you get 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55. Can you find the result of adding all the numbers from 1 to 1,000? (In your head)
It follows the triangular rule:
Total = n*(n-1)/2
= 1000*999/2
= 1000*499.5
= 499,500
================
My mistake, a moment of imperfection rearing it's ugly head!
n*(n+1)/2 it is!
Therefore Total = 1000*1001/2
= 500*1001
= 500,500

At any given point Katie has painted 1.625 times more of the house than Ken, 8/1.625 = 64/13 ~= 4.9.
Therefore 4 hrs 54 mins. I think, my brain isn't working on top form today. Can someone verify this please?

Answer to:
How do you know when to use swam or swum in a sentence?
Swam is the past tense of swim and swum is the past participle. Which means that if there are no words between the verb and the subjective noun then you use the past tense: He swan to the shore. If there are words in the between them then you use the past participle: He has never swum before.

Answer to:
Could someone explain Trigonometric functions (Sin, Cos, Tan, etc.) to me? I'm having the hardest time learning them, but my knowledge of Pre-Calculus has always been very solid in the past.
For a right angled triangle the sine is the ratio between the opposite side from the angle and the hypotenuse: sin A = opposite/hypotenuse
Cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side from the angle and the hypotenuse: cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse
Tangent is the ratio between the sine and the cosine: tan A = sin/cos
Now there are many equations using these, i.e. sin^2 theta = 1 - cos^2...

Answer to:
Is pornography an evil vice? Another low brow form of entertainment? Art? or worse?
In Ancient civilisations, such as Rome and Greece, sexuality was embraced not frowned upon and they had no idea of pornography, their paintings of sexual acts were painted on the wall not hidden. Yet today we find sexuality a thing of taboo, something to keep hidden. Any ideas why?

Answer to:
Are you concerned about your carbon footprint?
No, I'm glad really. Roughly every 100,000 years there's an Ice Age, this is caused by Global Warming melting the ice at the poles and pouring more fresh water into the sea. This in turn stops the flow of salt in the conveyor belt by making the sea too fresh. When this conveyor belt stops all of the warm currents getting to the tropics will stop and that allows the poles to freeze...

Answer to:
At a new years eve party, each person in the room kissed every person in the room. If there were 190 kisses total, how many people were at the party?
The pattern follows the triangular rule: n(n-1)/2
People Kisses
1 0
2 1
3 3
4 6
190 = n(n-1)/2
380 = n(n-1)
0 = n^2 - n - 380
n = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
n = (1 +/- sqrt(1 + 1520))/2
n = (1 +/- sqrt(1521))/2
n = (1 +/- 39)/2
n = 40/2 & = -38/2
n= 20 & = -19
You cannot have a negative number of people, hence n = 20!

How do you find the coordinates (x,y) in the attached diagram?
>
http://www.imagebucket.net/bucket/19477/triangle.JPG
>
Diameter shown:
y = mx + c
y = x(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) + c
y = x(240-235)/(320-360) + c
y = 5x/-40 + c
y = x/-8 + c
240 = 320/-8 + c
240 = -40 + c
280 = c
y = 280 - x/8
Perpendicular diameter:
y = 8x + c
240 = 8*320 + c
240 = 2560 + c
-2320 = c
y = 8x - 2320
Equation of a circle:
r^2 = (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2
r = 20
a = 320
b = 240
400 = (x-320)^2 + (y-240)^2
Equate the circle...

Guys out there: are shy girls considered less attractive? (in your opinion)
No, if anything it's a turn-on for most of us! Most of us like the chase, a challenge, and when we encounter a girl who is unlikely to be intimate with us, due to her shyness, it's like the forbidden fruit to us.
Anonymous: It depends on the endurance of the guy, some will think "Nah, f**k it" and some will think "Ooh, all the more the challenge!" But never less...
