if a diameter of a pipe is 200mm
the velocity is 0.25m square per second, what is the length of the pipe? I know L=V/Pirexponent 2
But I don't understand how people get 7.958 m when i get 0.0000079577471546

I used to find the cross sectional area: (Pi/4)* D (200^2).
then 0.25 was divided by the result to get 0.0000079577471546.

other gor a positive result 7.958.m
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
first i will admit that i have no knowledge to this stuff.
Why does the pipe have to be any particular length? This is a serious question. Can you answer it?
BUT
could it be that the 200 is in mm and the 0.25 is in metres/s ²
so it 200mm is put in as 0.2m I think your quandrey will be overcome.

odds of hitting 1/38 chance 3 times in a row

1 in 38 ³ = 1 in 54872 = 1/54872

or

1 to 54871 = > 1 : 54871

you will need to give more information than that. I don't understand.

What is 4.60x10^-14 / 9.11x10^-31 =

= [ 4.60x10 ^-14 / 9.11 ] x 10 ^-31

=5.049 * 10 ^-46 (correct to 4 significant figures)

The real meaning of this type of question is often ambiguous. You really do need to use bracket.

int(sin(x^2), x)

I don't know this notation at all
Is it possible that it means
Find the integral of sin ²x with respect to x ?

I will answer this one anyway

sin ²x = 1 - cos ²x

sin ²x = 1 - [ (cos(2x) + sin ²x ]

sin ²x = 1 - (cos(2x) - sin ²x

2sin ²x = 1 - (cos(2x)

sin ²x = 1/2 - [cos(2x) / 2]

integral of sin ²x = x/2 - sin(2x)/4

integral of sin ²x = [2x - sin(2x) ] / 4

Now, is that what you wanted?

6 factorial is written as 6!

And
6! = 1*2*3*4*5*6 = 720 (they are multiply signs)

It is used a real lot when working out probabilities.

The is even a factorial button on your calculator ! (you probably have to press 'shift' first.)

Pi is an irrational number. It can not be expressed exactly as a fraction or as a decimal - not even a recurring decimal.

the base on a baseball diamond are 90 feet apart. how far is it from home plate to second base?

A base ball diamond is a square isn't it?
so all the angles are 90 degrees
you have the 2 short sides, so I think you want the hypotenuse.
Use Pythagoras's Theorem.
