## Questions

### Subject:Physics (Newtonian Mechanics)

Question:

A rubber bounce ball collides elastically with a smooth cement wall at an angle of 38 degrees. At what angle is the ball deflected off the wall?

Inactive
Gabe A.

Because the collision is elastic, momentum is conserved, and the ball bounces off the wall at the same angle (and with the same velocity). So the ball is deflected at an angle of 38 degrees.

### Subject:Pre-Calculus

Question:

Take the function $$\frac{1}{x+3}$$. Is this function discontinuous? If so, in what way?

Inactive
Gabe A.

The function $$\frac{1}{x+3}$$ has asymptotic discontinuity, because it approaches -- but never reaches -- the point $$x=-3$$.

### Subject:Algebra

TutorMe
Question:

$$x^2+4x=0$$. What is $$x$$?

Inactive
Gabe A.

We see that $$x^2$$ and $$4x$$ have something in common: $$x^2$$ is $$x*x$$, and $$4x$$ is $$4*x$$. So we can cross out one $$x$$ from each term. This leaves us with the expression: $$x+4=0$$. Therefore, $$x=-4$$.
