If happiness is 8 when optimism is 6, anger is 2. What is happiness when optimism is 4 and anger is 4?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "H happiness, O optimism, A anger, k an arbitrary constant \n" ); document.write( "H = k * O, H goes up when O goes up, and vice versa (directly proportional) \n" ); document.write( "H = k * 1/A, H goes up when A goes down, and vice versa (inversely proportional)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "H = 8, O = 6, A = 2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "H = ?, O = 4, A = 4 \n" ); document.write( "Optimism went down so Happiness should go down \n" ); document.write( "Anger went up so Happiness should go down \n" ); document.write( "Happiness should be 6 (down by 2 for Optimism, and down by 2 for Anger)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
