Where exactly is Heaven?
8 AnswersGeography10 hours ago - 16Upvotes of all answers to this question
What are you going to do to fill in your time after Yahoo Answers paranormal section has shut down?
I am going to feel so lost and lonely, I spend hours everyday slowly and angrily typing out my lies and insults I really don't know what I am going to do with myself. Please suggest a hobby where I can endlessly abuse others - but with no harmful consequences please, because although I am a big guy I'm really rather timid and sensitive and I burst into tears surprisingly easily.

Finding Derivative of a Point?
Favourite answer:g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is a function
g(5) = 100 - 10 + 15 = 105 → the representative curve of the function passes through (5 ; 105)
g'(x) = 8x - 2 ← this is its derivative
g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is in fact the slope of the tangent line to the curve at point (5 ; 105)
g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is the function → to calculate the derivative:
Lim [g(x₀ + h) - g(x₀)] / h
h → 0
Lim [ { 4.(x₀ + h)² - 2.(x₀ + h) + 15 } - { 4x₀² - 2x₀ + 15 } ] / h
h → 0
Lim [ { 4.(x₀² + 2x₀.h + h²) - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 } - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15 ] / h
h → 0
Lim [4x₀² + 8x₀.h + 4h² - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15] / h
h → 0
Lim [8x₀.h + 4h² - 2h] / h
h → 0
Lim h.[8x₀ + 4h - 2] / h
h → 0
Lim (8x₀ + 4h - 2) = 8x₀ - 2
h → 0
g'(x₀) = 8x - 2
g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is the same result (above)

Which planets (or other bodies) in our solar system are the least difficult to colonize?
Favourite answer:Mainly Mars, because it is the easiest to get to, besides the Moon
Venus can actually come Closer but it is a different story
Mars can be walked on with a Protective Suit to help breathing and stave off Solar radiation
But a lot of Smart work over time could actualoly make things more comfortable for us Humans
What Mars mostly lacks is Mass
Mass = Gravity
If Martian Mass was increased so would its Gravity and the Densness of its Atmosphere
If the Mass of Mars was increased to 80% of Earth's, the Gravity would be quite similar to Earth's
Over time, the Mantle would become more liquid till it creates a proper protective Magnetosphere
All that with Breathing apparatus could do away with suits
On the Long term the CO2 in the Atmosphere plus what gets added from the surface as it sublimes would help Vegetation to grow with a bit of effort
Ever Watch the Film, The Martian with Matt Damon
There is no reason it wouldn't work
Plants use CO2 and produce Oxygen, which is handy
So the sooner we start Terraforming the Better

what is 3/2 of 4?
6 AnswersMathematics1 day ago - 8Upvotes of all answers to this question
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 1/2:1/3:1/4. If the perimeter is 52 cm, the length or the smallest side is?
Favourite answer:I'd first multiply all the fractions by the LCD of 12 to get rid of denominators.
12*½ : 12*⅓ : 12*¼
= 6 : 4 : 3
Now think of the sides as 6k, 4k and 3k respectively. These add up to 52 cm.
6k + 4k + 3k = 52
13k = 52
k = 4
The sides are therefore:
6k → 6(4) = 24 cm
4k → 4(4) = 16 cm
3k → 3(4) = 12 cm
Note: We could have kept the numbers as fractions and you could have still gotten the same answer.
Let the sides be ½x, ⅓x and ¼x respectively.
½x + ⅓x + ¼x = 52
(½ + ⅓ + ¼)x = 52
(6/12 + 4/12 + 3/12)x = 52
(13/12)x = 52
x = 52*(12/13)
x = 52/13 * 12
x = 4*12
x = 48
So the sides are:
½x → 48/2 = 24 cm
⅓x → 48/3 = 16 cm
¼x → 48/4 = 12 cm
I just like working with integers rather than fractions which is why I multiplied it all by 12 at the beginning.
Answer:
The shortest side is 12 cm

NG is getting very cocky now that Q&A is closing, threatening to come to UK and jump on me or some crap.?
When he gets here, I want to impress him with a trick before I beat the crap out of him then lock him up. However, I need to learn how to do it. You must have seen it? Some guy does it with a balloon on tv. He ties it in knots, shapes it, then wears it on his head? I want to do that one with NG, the retard school teacher, sorry, I mean retired school teacher. The one who puffs and pants over his cornflakes whilst I am jogging. I would be very grateful if you could tell me how it's done. I am going to have great, oops! there I go again. I mean we are going to have great fun when he gets here. I..Can't...fecking...wait.

If a star 600 hundred light years away went super nova how big would the explosion have to be for people to see it is less than 600 years?
Favourite answer:You could see it sooner than 600 years if you have a powerful telescope pointed at the Nova. The scope would be able to see the light from the explosion before the light reaches Earth.
