Looks like oskar20106 has more faith in our calculator than he once did!!

(.....or maybe he used an abacus)

Thanks for the kind note, Jedithious.......we never like to give "watered" down answers, here......

If Melody were to do a thorough search, she'd find a pair of "glasses" in this problem!!

The "x" component is given by r cos θ, and the "y" component is given by r sin θ

So x = 5 cos 30°  = 5 (√(3)/2) = 5√(3)/2

And y =5 sin 30°  = 5 (1/2) = 5/2

Have patience with our calculator.

It used to claim that 1 + 2 = 5.

But....due to revised programming techniques....we've reduced the error by some 20% - or so.

Thus...we're "nudging" it closer to the "truth" by stages.

Final accuracy is expected to be achieved some time this year.....or the next one.

Your Humble Systems Analyst,

"IS" implies "equal"     "OF" implies "multiply"     2% = .02     "WHAT NUMBER"  = n

So we have

76 = .02 x n      Divide both sides by .02

76 / .02  = 3800

So, the number is 3800

OK....2*2 = 4

So we have 4 / 4 =1

77 = C / (22/7)

Multiplying both sides by (22/7) we have

(22/7) 77 = C   And "canceling" the 7 and 77, we get

22*11 = 242

Give Francis my thanx for the reduction....that was vey "mule"-if-i-cent of him.

And as for those "flakes,' I believe he can find plenty of those on the forum....and he won't have to search very hard, either!!!

Now...you'll have to excuse me....I've got to get back to my game of Donkey Kong with Sisyphus. At this point, I think I have him "up a hill."

Hit the "2nd" button...you should see the "atan" button on the second "page"

I used to use that second form of factoring, too, Rom. It drove my teachers crazy!! I asked them why a radical wasn't just as valid as an integer in a factored expression since they were both "real" numbers......They use to say, "Because you can't do that." I told them, "But, I just did!!"
