heres a problem that i got in trig last week...
lets see if anyone here can answer it ^^
There is a certain bus in a city. It starts out with 0 people and picks up five at the first stop. The bus makes two kinds of stops; one where it picks up five people, and another where it picks up two and lets off five. If the bus makes more than 17 stops total, what is the least number of stops it can make and have 11 people remaining on the bus.
Think thats right...
if the questions is confusing just ask me and ill see if i can explain it better ^^
the 1st person to get it right gets a taco

omg i hate these type of questions, they get on my nerves sooo much.
to be honest i don't see how this has to do with trig, the only trig we did in school was the triangles and graphs with trig variable coefficients, if this was like a quick solve problem I would answer it, but this would take to much time for me to solve... I might solve it when i have alot of spare time becuase since this is my last year i got to do really good my first tearm if i want to get in university...
