The hunt is on. The 3 finalists in a competition are Sue, Jim and Vinny. They are each starting from a different location in the city. The reach the treasure, all three finalists take different routes.

Sue's route can be modeled by the equation 7x-4y= -14

Jim's route can be modeled by the equation 4(x+4)-3(y-3)=12

Vinny's route can be modeled by the equation 4x+ky=-6

Eventually all 3 finalists would find the location of the treasure.

a) Where is the treasure located?

b) The equation for Vinny's route is missing a coefficient. Explain how you would find the value of the missing coefficient.

c) What is the complete equation for Vinny's route?

PLEASE SHOW ALL YOUR STEPS!

I really lack a poor understanding of this topic. In a way I understand it,
but in another way I don't. I am really stumped by a few questions. I've
been over my textbook time and time again, and its not clicking.

1. Does y = |x|-5 and y= |2x|-5 have the same domain and/or range?

2. Does y = -x^2+5 and y = -1/2x^2+5 have the same domain and/or range?

3. What is the domain and range of y = sqrt2x+1?

for #3,
domain options -
all real numbers
all real numbers > or = to negative 1/2
all positive real numbers
all real numbers except negative 1/2

range options -
all real numbers
all real numbers < or = to 4
all real numbers > or = to 0
all real numbers except negative 1/2

In Cantor set, at every step, the intervals are divided into other 3 intervals and the middle interval is taken out.
Give examples of numbers which are in Cantor set. There is an infinity of such numbers.
I found 0 and 1.

This is not an arbitrary question; it actually has a use. I find that the logic behind the use is also quite interesting.

You have a combination padlock with four dials on it. Each dial has the numbers 0 through 4 on them. The lock can have as many 0s as dials, and is set to 0000 by default. The lock does not allow you to use any number between 1 and 4 two or more times in the combination. The following combinations are valid: 0123 1234 0103 0010 4031. The following combinations are invalid: 0113 4014 0202 4444. How many possible combinations are there?

I would like to have a formula that defines this well enough to calculate, simply, the possible amount of combinations.

Negative numbers, as solutions to problems were viewed as illogical for centuries. Fibonacci, proved it's legitimacy before his death; still it was years before mathematicians accepted this conept. Why?
