solve a square equation in the numerator.
you will have in the numerator (2-x)*(1-3x)
by cutting with the denominator (1-3x)
- you get the identity
Challenging mathematicians. The problem was given at school to my friend's 12-year-old son. Interestingly, none of the 5th graders solved it.
.
The problem is from the field of mathematics:
There is a masonry mesh with a number of cells horizontally and vertically equal to A. All cells are square. Each cell has length and width Z. You have to find the number of cells A if you know that workers have spent X metres of steel rod for the production of the grid. (The solution of the problem should be a formula for calculating A based on Z and X.)
Note (from me): the diameter of the rod is neglected, the rods are welded overlapping, all the wasted materials went to make the mesh.
my answer is a little bit the other way round.
how many wires X is needed to make the required number of cells A, if cell size Z is known
X=2*Z*(A^2+A)
But the ratio is obtained. From here you can express A.
But this is probably not a solution for 5th grade.
Yes, I got it backwards too. But how to flip it - I'll be honest, I couldn't do it.
Yes, I got it backwards too. But how to reverse it - I can't tell you honestly, I couldn't.
if you graph a parabola y=x^2+x, then knowing y=X/2*Z you can look for x, i.e. A
Adding numbers with different powers is a formula. If you add a to the square and a to the first, then A itself can be derived.
