rise over run!, here your x is actually z.

If I lower my suspension 10% will I go even further?

Or, if "Y" is longer (taller), would that make the run shorter because the "X" (time) would take as long to bring to the apex (climax)?

I guess size does matter...

simple, everyone knows that if a and b on a right triangle that the hypotenuse is 5

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = C^2

C = 5

a^2+b^2=c^2

Should I put this into MathCad to check my answer?

ok, now what's the angle between lines 4 and 5?

Remember your trig?

anyone ever see the proof that the short distance between a set of points isn't a straight line? I had it years ago in Jr HS but I can't seem to recall it now...

it is right there! funny as hell. math dorks know it would have asked, "solve for X".

You are rounding, right?

5's too easy, I like legion's answer better :)


A for effort!

Everyone? SmileWavy

Now that you know where "x" is, you can't determine it's velocity.

polar or cartesian coordinates??

Somebody has been reading Stephan Hawking again.

Damn that metric system with its confusing units.

Based upon an old tribal legend: "The son of the squaw on the hide of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides." ;)
Would I lie about a thing like that?

Martin Amis probably has the best layman's description of Hawking: "...guy in a wheelchair, talks like a robot."

X is an unknown, it is implied that x requires solving because x is not an interger but a value to be asigned. Find x or locate x or determine x are define x are all the same when taken in the spirit of the equation in the relm of math geekdom.

I still stick to my original answer which is x = 5cm!

Don't be pull'n this "define 'is' " Clinton *****. What is, is...
