  1. zarah and jeremy each have collection of bobbleheads. Zarah said if Jeremy would give her 3 of his bobble heads they would have an equal number, but if Zarah would give Jeremy 3 of her bobble heads, Jeremy would have 2 times as many bobbleheads as she would have left. How many bobbleheads does Jeremy have?

    1. Great problem! I’d do it this way.
      Let z = number of bobbleheads that Zarah has, J = number that Jeremy has.
      z+3=j-3
      j+3=(z-3)*2

      Solving, I get Jeremy has 21, Zarah has 15. Hard problem!

  2. If P varies inversely as V and V varies directly as R^2, find the relationship between P and R given that R=7 and P=2

  3. 1. If W varies inversely as V and U varies directly as W^3, find the relationship between U and V given that V=2 and U=1
    2. Make ‘c’ the subject of formula in
    X=(–b+√b^2–4ac)÷2a

    1. Looks interesting. For p^2q, do you mean p^(2q) or p^2(q)? Same for p/q^2 – do you mean (p/q)^2 or p/(q^2)?
      Then I can start working on it 🙂

    1. I just allowed the printing on the website again. If you do print, please put the name Mathhints.com on it – it’s copyrighted! Thanks!

  4. How much would you need to learn to take physics with calculus? All of it or just trig and pre cal? Is there an order to take them at? Which would come first?

    1. I would say definitely Alg 1, Alg 2, and Geometry. It would be good to have PreCalc and Trig, but I don’t think necessary. You wouldn’t need to take Calculus first.

      1. How about the math levels for the MCAT? I see they require physics with calculus 1+2. Just the same recommendation as above? Any math classes for chem 1+2 or organic chem 1+2? Or is that just simple algebra?
