Will we have the technology to do something or to run somewhere. Its five more million years from now that the sun will exhaust its hydrogen fuel and will become a white dwarf. At the rate of technology surge that we have today, its impossible to know how far we might be in the future. How far can technology go?!?!

Maybe someone can help me explain this. I have twinkle light (both the same size) on my Christmas tree and running up a pole in my house. I came out the other night when they were both on without my glasses (I'm nearsighted). The lights always look bigger when I don't have my glasses--they look like sort of like perfectly round colored snowflakes. Well, I was standing about 5 feet from the tree and 10 feet from the pole. The circles of light on the poll, from my vantage point, looked about golf ball size...the circles on the tree, which was nearer to me, looked about dime size. I tested this out--when I changed positions and got closer to the pole the sizes reversed. Whenever I got closer to the lights they got smaller...when I stepped away from them they got bigger. With my glasses on they looked the same size.

Anyone have an explaination for this? I'm really curious why the lights looked bigger when I was further away.

if there is an equation 1hour^2, the answer would be 1 hour because 1*1=1. But if you do 60min^2, it is 3600min, thus making it 60 hours. WHAT IS THE OFFICIALLY CORRECT ANSWER??

Situation: Owners of a farm want to fence in an area for goats. They want to use up 40 meters of fencing they purchase.

1) What is the maximum area they can provide for the animals with 40 meters of fence if they want the pen to be a quadrilateral?


2) How does changing the width affect the area?


3) Write a function to represent the area as the function of the width?



Bonus: Now imagine that the fenced-in area is adjacent to a building. You only need to fence three sides.



Solution would be highly appreciated.
