Does 3 pints equal to 6 cups'?

Yes, in US measure. In US measure, 1 pint = 2 cups And 1 cup = 0.5 pint. There are 16 US fluid ounces, 2 cups in 1 US pint (473.2 ml). Although there are 20 Imperial fluid ounces in 1 Imperial pint (568.3 ml), the Imperial system does not have cups, so it is best to use half pints.


What are the Differences between Convolution and correlation?

A convolution is an integral that expresses the amount of overlap of one function as it is shifted over another function.You can use correlation to compare the similarity of two sets of data. Correlation computes a measure of similarity of two input signals as they are shifted by one another. The correlation result reaches a maximum at the time when the two signals match bestThe difference between convolution and correlation is that convolution is a filtering operation and correlation is a measure of relatedness of two signalsYou can use convolution to compute the response of a linear system to an input signal. Convolution is also the time-domain equivalent of filtering in the frequency domain.


An example how logarithms are used to explain a real life occurance?

not sure exaclty what you asking, but if ur asking for an example of what logarithms are used for in real life, then there are a heaps of examples. briefly, some examples are banks use logarithmic functions to calculate the accumilation of interest in bank accounts over the years (eg. Interest = xyz^0.01k), engineers use it to determine how quick things dry/cool down, etc. if u want a proper algebratic example, here is newtons law of cooling which is: y=yi x e^-kt where: y - different between temprature of body and the constant temp of room yi - initial temprature difference of body and room e - eulers number (2.718...) t - time in mins k - constant for that particular body (usually what u are trying to find out in class tasks) using logarithms, newtons law can predict how how a body (such as cup of coffee) will be after any given period of time. This was the most practicle example i could think of ;) Nick
