For each train length, we started by only having that car number. Then we would subtract one from the total train length and laid out whichever car number would help equal the train length. We kept going down that line of pattern subtracting one each time until we got to having all ones to equal the train length. Each time we made sure that we changed around the car numbers to make sure they were all laid out in every single way possible. For example, for train number 4, we started with laying out car number 4 and then starting with car number 3 after that. When we got to car number 2 we made sure to have ones and twos going all of the possible ways until there were no more ways to lay out all of those car numbers to equal train length four. Whenever we reached to having all car number ones we would know that there were no more possible car combinations. …show more content…
Pattern is: train length minus one equals exponent. Then it’s two to the exponent to get the total amount of possibilities. The equation for the pattern can be written as: x-1=y, 2y/=z. Where x is the train number, y is the exponent number, and z is the number of possible ways to lay out the number cars. We are able to connect this problem to other various math problems that involve finding a pattern or identifying the pattern. This is because this problem was mainly all about finding a pattern to find bigger number of train cars. We are also able to connect this problem to Algebra functions. In Algebra we can use a table to find patterns and create a function based off that. In this problem we created a table and found a small pattern. Then we were able to create two short equations to find greater

Both many successes and problems arose within these new industrial cities. One of these problems was that of the transportation issue. To some, the densely populated cities were difficult to navigate. Often having populations in the hundreds of thousands, these cities were only a few square miles in size. One of the first inventions created to tackle this problem was the omnibus. The omnibus was similar to a horse drawn carriage, except that it was much longer. "Putting the car on iron tracks then enabled the horses to pull more passengers at a faster clip through crowded city streets" (Henretta, 2009). An improvement over the omnibus came later in the form of the electric trolley. The trolley was a carriage th...
People immediately began to migrate to the area now known as The Great Plains, and populations in the states along the route began to prosper at record percentages. The original railroad sparked inspiration for other tracks that could branch off of the main line and go to other areas of the country. By the year 1893, there were about four different transcontinental railroads and modifications were made to the original cars, such as a freezer box that was designed to keep crops fresh during the few day voyage. This new improvement also provided the country with several new jobs that were never needed before. All areas such as construction, maintenance, and operation workers were now needed to ensure that things went the way they were supposed to and that the hard work and dedication that went into this six year project did not go to a waste and give the opposite effect than

The world of Model Train Building has grown greatly with the aid of computers and technology to enhance the fun of building. Technology has long been a part of Model Train building with the adding of lights, bells, and whistles to capture your interest and imagination. But with the latest generation of building comes the influx of technology and the computer. The computer brings along a new breed of builders who plan track layout, buy parts on the Internet, receive updated news, and chat with other enthusiast.
Throughout the play, the playwright Edward Albee made it so there is a clear showing of several different literary allusions. But in this case, in that particular scene, the focus is on Tennessee Williams A Street Car Named Desire. First of all, In the beginning of the scene, the point where she is talking to herself, you can spot that she makes some references to “The Poker Game” the painting based on the scene in which fragile Blanche comes in on her animalistic brother-in-law Stanley's poker game. And secondly, George, when he enters with the flowers in hand, or snapdragons, he is seen quoting a line of dialogue that comes from Williams play, the famous line "Flores para los muertos," which means flowers for the dead. Now here is the explanation or the comparison that can be made here. We all know that, in the play Streetcar, this particular line is used to foreshadow Blanches death. Not her physical death though, more so, it is used to foreshadow her emotional and spiritual death. In Woolf, George is using that line to foreshadow his announcement of "sonny-Jim's" death. Not only that, but it is also used to proceed the spiritual decimation of his and Martha's marriage. In addition to that, there is m ore death foreshadowing that can be seen, when we think or the part where Martha yells "Pansies! Rosemary! Violence! My wedding bouquet!" This line is making a reference to Hamlet, the part where Ophelia does her crazy speech where she offers imaginary flowers. Martha is heard using the word violence instead of violets in order to characterize her marriage. This offers shadowing of death also since Ophelia gives her mad speech before drowning herself. I think the greatest theme that this scene, this Act and the play in...
Before motor trucks, railroads controlled inland transport of goods and services in the nineteenth century. The powerful railroad industry was the focus of technological innovation in an era when intermediate transportation needs were largely met by vehicles drawn by pack animals. Trains are quick and efficient but limited in their reach. The “flexibility of the horse” in transportation had n...

A street car named desire leads its self to feminist criticism due to the very distinct gender roles in which a male dominance prevails. The play reveals the victimization of two women Stella Kowalski and Blanche DuBois who are consistently overpowered by Stella’s husband Stanley and society’s norms. Blanche is a beautiful woman who struggles to live up to her expectations as a southern belle and shows many signs of mental instability due to the death of her young husband many years ago. While Stella on the other hand married an abusive husband whose relationship with her is a rollercoaster of excitement and disappointment. Southern Society perceived the ideal woman as one who followed the ways of the Virgin Mary, staying pure until marriage and tending to their husbands every whim. However in street car the women are treated more like slaves having to cooking and cleaning to please Stanley with no recognition for their hard work. In animal farm the pigs reward the animals for their hard word determination to build the working on the windmill and their bravery in the battle of the cowshed. Even before Blanche arrival she resorts to prostitution after the loss of her job which in society’s eyes made her unworthy of marriage. The living conditions were very poor with three people living in a cramped apartment that consisted of only two rooms. With only a sheet separating the bed room from the kitchen there was little privacy for the women to change and pamper themselves in without being disturbed. The pigs on the other hand had a

For formulating a more efficient transport pattern, there are some specific strategies. Firstly, government can encourage people to pay more attention to public transit. The actual data about transit use from most cities indicates that transit use is growing in many cities, in addition, some developed cities have been reducing their car use and pay more attention to the public transport (Newman, 1999). Encouraging urban citizens use more public transit is effective in reducing the quantity of private cars. It is generally known that private cars have brought great pressure on urban traffic. Secondly, government can restrict cars based on the “odd-and-even l...
We all use vehicles for transportation. People usually go to their desired destination either by driving their own cars or traveling in public transportation. Actually, it might be tough to choose that which one is the best selection for people to travel. Many people choose one of them according to their comfort while traveling and both of them have advantages and disadvantages in different conditions. Public transportation and driving own car both shares differences and similarities in many aspects, such as facility, cost, and comfort as well as traffic jam and accident occurrence.
