Editing time!

I think I've angered carrot now, nothing good can come of this.

No anger at all, just a tired night =)

I may as well post a question whilst I'm here.

Consider an upright cylinder of radius R and height H.

From the centre of the cylinder, a vertical slice is made, leaving a solid with half the volume of the cylinder.

From the top of the flat side of the solid, a diagonal cut is made to the other end of the base.

Find the volume of the 'wedge' remaining.

Splitting up the power:



Let





So the integral simply becomes:

I'll spam some more friendly problems too.

Let P be a point on the ellipse x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1. From P, a vertical line is dropped and it meets the X axis at X. From P, a tangent is constructed and it meets the X axis at T.

Prove that OX . OT = a^2.

A series of ellipses are drawn with the same foci S and S'.

Prove that there exists a unique ellipse passing through a general point on the plane.

A cone has base radius R. A horizontal slice is made to chop off the top, leaving a flat circular surface of radius r.

Let the height of this solid be H.

Find the volume of this solid.

Describe what happens when r=R, and when r=0.

Find the area of the standard ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1.

Find the equation of the circle, centred at the origin, that has the same area as the above ellipse.

Find where it intersects the ellipse.

Still testing the waters here, and I'm a bit tired at the moment. We know that each cross section is a segment of the semi-circle. So I decided that I would slice up everything and integrate, now I know it doesn't have a common cross section, but I decided to do something a bit different here. For some arbitrary y*, we find the area of the segment of the semi-circle from R to y*, then we multiply that by dz. Then we add up all the y* that exists, so we should end up with:



Is this correct? (i will evaluate it if its right)

EDIT: One sec, I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

EDIT2: wtf no

Each cross section, taken perpendicular to the base, is a rectangle.

Yeah I imagined the whole thing completely wrong, I better go to sleep.

In how many ways can one yellow, two red and four green beads be placed on a bracelet if the beads are identical apart from colour? (Hint: This will require a listing of patterns to see if they are identical when turned over.)

Nup. It's a circle, and also I think you have to use cases.
