Lets have some fun solving word problems, and such.
You can add word problems too! Let's solve them!
To start:
Amy is 5 years old right now, how old will she be next year?

Next year does not imply exactly 365 nor 366 days.
She might be 5 next year. Perhaps she just turned 5 on December 22nd, and next week it will be New Year's. Its the next year, she hasn't age.
She might be 6 next year. Perhaps today is her birthday. In exactly one year, it will be her birthday, she goes from 5 to 6.
She might be 7 next year. Perhaps her birthday is August 16. The date could be August 15th. She turns 6 tomorrow. She turns 7 in exactly one year. How is that possible to reach that time? Perhaps the endpoint of our scenario is November 12 of the next year. It is technically still the next year, just not the concrete amount of days.

There exist two x such that sin(arccos(tan(arcsin(x)))) = x. Find the product of the two x.
I will be amazed if anyone solves this.

Toothfairy, 'arccos' is just like cos [sup]-1[/sup] on your TI-83 or TI-84. It's the inverse of the function.
I just learned this today, but its kinda late and I'd rather not attempt it.

I don't understand your wording, is this implying that x[sub]1[/sub] = x[sub]2[/sub] or does x[sub]1[/sub] != x[sub]2[/sub].
Erm, is the value I'm trying to find x[sup]2[/sup] or (x[sub]1[/sub])([sub]x2[/sub])?

It's been a loooong while since I've done this kinda stuff... but is it somewhere around
-0.381?
(0.618) * (-0.618)?
I know I got one solution for x being 0.618, not sure of the other though, although experience dictates its the flip of... then again that's when dealing with square roots... but o well, that's what I have for know... might add later
