Science & Mathematics - 5 July 2006

Earthquakes, Volcanoes and tsunamis caused by Plate Tectonics (movement of the earth’s crust) kill thousands of people every year. How would you stop PT? Would you like to join an organization that would come up with both serious and for fun answers to the problem of PT? The name of the organization is Stop PLAte TecTonics (SPLATT).

The given function f is one-to-one.
f^-1(x) = (ax+b)/(cx+d)
find f^-1

These are the choices guyz...
a. f^-1(x) = -(dx+b)/(cx-a)
b. f^-1(x) = -(dx+c)/(cx-b)
c. f^-1(x) = (dx+b)/(cx-a)
d. f^-1(x) = (dx+c)/(cx-b)

THANKS ALOT!

Firstly if you do not know what the space elevator concept is, check out the two links.

Then after reading through the Spectrum article concerning Bradley C. Edwards proposed design plan can you think of any other problems that might arise that he has not addressed? If you can not think of any, are there any improvements that you would make to the plan? I think that an ambitious plan such as this should be critically analyzed.

Finally, do you think the world will have a working space elevator within 50 years from now? If not then, ever? This part has no bearing on best answer; I am just curious. I think that if a few space-faring nations band together and the materials advances are made, we will be able to build one within 50 years and possibly allow harvesting solar energy and other resources from space.

Someone told me that the sun shines through leaves, which act like filters, and makes a separate impression or "dabble" for every leave, that is seen on the ground. He also told me that during a solar eclipse he saw all these "dabbles" all showing eclipses.

Has anyone heard of this?

Fusion energy is an almost endlessly renewable energy source that is non polluting and produces no radioactive byproducts like nuclear. The oceans of the world have a virtually endles supply of fuel (duterium). Progress has been slow but with unlimited govt backing maybe a breakthrough could be made.
