Sure, assume the definition with closed intervals holds. You are given epsilon. Take a closed covering such that the total length of the covering is less than epsilon/2. Then substitute each closed interval with an open interval which contains the original closed interval and whose length is bigger by epsilon/2n. You obtain an open covering with length less than epsilon. The other direction is trivial.

I think the answer is 85715 because I just found the last number divisible by 7 (99995) and subtracted the number of 7 multiplies from permutations like 10^5-(99995/7) to get 85715. But that's probably wrong and/or there's a better way. How would I work it out?

There's enough atmosphere on the moon to get you a similar reaction, just more spread out and somewhat less destructive.

Exploding one in a vacuum (or say the surface of a small asteroid), isn't particularly destructive (bright flash, heats up one side of the asteroid), but the gamma rays travel a *lot* farther with nothing to absorb them, thus while the material destruction and blast isn't as impressive (most of which is caused by the atmospheric heat up and subsequent displacement), the deadly radiation effect extends a lot further.

First, note that the determinant of that matrix is equal to 5 times the determinant of
[c+2a d+2b]
[-7a -7b]
by the recursive formula for a determinant.

Second, note that the above matrix can be factored as:
[ 2 1]*[a b]
[-7 0] [c d]
And the left-hand matrix has a determinant of (2*0)-(1*-7)=0-(-7)=7.

As det(A.B)=det(A).det(B), the overall result is 5*7*4=140.

(Vi+2.8)/2 = 4.7

What sorcery is this? Why does the amperage stay the same after you transition between wire sizes? Why don't the smaller wire's electrons displace the larger wire's electrons at a lower amperage rate?

It's like blowing a leaf blower toward an entire hallway and expecting all the air in the hall to move at the same rate as it's moving out of the leaf blower. What am I missing?

>> No.10008433

>>10008403
An ampere is charge per second. If you point a leafblower down a large hall instead of a small hall, it doesn't change how much energy is acting on the air in question, only how it's distributed. Imagine adding the same amount of food coloring to two different water containers. It doesn't actually change how much food coloring there is, just how much water it discolors. The amount of charge does not change.

>> No.10008441

>>10008403
I don't think you understand well what current intensity means. 1 Amp just tells us that 1 C (which is equivalent to the charge of a constant amount of protons/electrons) is flowing through a surface in one second. Regardless of how big or small that surface is (picture it as a "slice" of wire at a particular point), the amount of electrons that are flowing because of the potential difference will remain the same. That's of course considering that you don't change the potential difference.
>It's like blowing a leaf blower toward an entire hallway and expecting all the air in the hall to move at the same rate as it's moving out of the leaf blower
The analogy doesn't work because it's not a correct interpretation of what current represents for electricity. If you blow a leaf blower toward a hallway, if you measure the amount of air particles that flow through a "slice" of the hallway before and after you turn on the blower, the difference will be that of the air particles that actually get pushed by the blower (assuming ideal conditions of course, in reality if you measure the difference at point that's far away from the blower you will probably not see a change because of friction and what not). Think about it like this, if you have x amount of people walking through a narrow hallway, and later on the hallway leads into a broader hallway, even if the new hallway has more space to fit more people walking through a slice of it at a given time, the amount of people walking through it will still be x. Assuming they all walk at the same speed and the system's closed (so no people leave/enter), the amount of people who walk through a slice of hallway in a time t will be the same as before.

multiply the last inequation so that:

we can do that because |sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|>0, of course
then you have
|sqrt(a)^2-sqrt(5)^2| < c*ε*|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|
which is of course
|a-5| < c*ε*|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|
then, you can choose c such that ε = c*ε*|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|:
ε = c*ε*|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|
1 = c*|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|
c = 1/|sqrt(a)+sqrt(5)|

Those materials are metal oxides, which are generally stable. In fact, your common solid metals develop surface layers of metal oxide under atmospheric conditions. Aluminum, tin, iron, copper, they all have oxidation layers on their surfaces. They're typically salt-like, crusty materials, technically ceramics, as they're held together by non-chaining covalent bonds. If you got a thick enough layer of it, you might be able to get a little plate of it, like you could with rust, which is an iron oxide.

You're just being dumb at algebra. Two of your KCL equations give you expressions for i6, and two of your KVL equations give you two more expressions for i6, so start by replacing i6 with shit. Then, replace another current value in terms of the remaining variables. Keep going until you're left with only one current value, such that the resistance and voltage variables are all in one equation. From that first expression, you can suss out the other 5 by just replacing them with KCL equation equivalents.

Public education is a manufacturing process where the product is employees. Its goal is not to influence IQ, because IQ is the rate at which one learns, not the amount of information one can access. Public education eases use of the information that employers require their product to access. However, when your process is not producing a quality product but there is still a clear demand for that product, do you scrap the process entirely or do you look for ways to improve it? Albeit, the investment shouldn't be in the teachers so much as it should be in better, more open educational research.

if a vehicle can turn at all then it can turn in a circle, also what do you mean by degree? do you mean the angle around the circle, or are you using it for slope or what. Neither of those make any sense anyway.

You need to consider the Cauchy sequence in each space individually with their corresponding norm.
You are just asserting that the limit exists in both spaces, but I don't see how that must be true, unless one can prove that the intersection of the two spaces is complete (considering only one of the two norms). I could probably try to prove that this intersection is a closed subspace, but to prove this, I need the other norm too, which will cannot be estimated.

If you have a hint on how to prove this completeness/closedness, I would appreciate it.

>> No.10009013

>>10008646
The centripetal acceleration required to turn in a circle is v^2/r, where v is the speed and r is the radius.

For a car, the centripetal acceleration is limited by the coefficient of friction (k) between the tyres and the road, so you have v^2/r<k => r>v^2/k => v<sqrt(r*k). I.e. as speed increases, minimum turning radius increases, as turning radius decreases maximum speed decreases.

For a plane, it's determined by the lift/mass ratio and gravity. You need lift*cos(a)>=weight => cos(a)>=weight/lift (where a is the bank angle) in order to maintain height, the centripetal acceleration is equal to (lift/mass)*sin(a) = (lift/mass)*sqrt(1-cos^2(a)) <= (lift/mass)*sqrt(1-weight^2/lift^2) = (lift/mass)*sqrt((lift^2-weight^2)/lift^2) = sqrt((lift/mass)^2-(weight/mass)^2) = sqrt((lift/mass)^2-g^2) (where g is gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2).

Consider 10's complement. Suppose we use 6 digits, so -123456 is represented as:
1000000-123456
= 999999-123456+1
= 876543+1
= 876544
Check:
876544+123456 = 1000000
= 0 (mod 1000000)

2's complement is just 2^k-n rather than 10^k-n. 2^k-n = (2^k-1)-n+1, and 2^k-1 is just k 1s, and subtracting from 2^k-1 is just inverting all the bits.

>Why does water boil at 100c rather than the hydrogen or oxygen boiling first?
What? Hydrogen and Oxygen ARE both gaseous way before the 100C mark gets reached. That's how they are gaseous even at room temperature, so you can breathe them from air. The only intramolecular bonds in a water molecule are between Hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen and Oxygen can't boil earlier because there are no O-O or H-H bonds to break to begin with. However, the reason the difference of boiling points between water and H2/O2 molecules is so big is because unlike the latter, the bonds found in water molecules are also polar, which result in a particularly strong union between the atoms.
>How come is it that I cannot boil some wood?
Wood combusts before it can even get to a hypothetical melting point. Combustion is an irreversible reaction so it's not like you can undo it afterwards to get back your liquid wood. Maybe it would work under under very specific pressure/temperature conditions, but considering the oxygen found in the molecules in wood I don't think it could be pratically doable.

it's not incredibly apparent, but the guy has to pull three units in length of rope to lift the load 1 unit, you could think of it that he has to pull one length for each of the three supporting ropes. With this in mind if we look at the system at equilibrium no matter the height of the load, the potential energy is the same. If we look at a snapshot of the potential energy when the weight of the guy is greater than 50 lbs, then the potential energy of the system is decreasing as we would expect.

you have to use maths
A sin(x + c)
= A [sin(x)cos(c) + cos(x)sin(c)]
if we want this to be F sin x + G cos x for all x, then
A cos(c) = F, and
A sin(c) = G.
Squaring and adding the equations, we get A^2 = F^2 + G^2,
and to get c, we can solve for sin(c), cos(c), and also tan(c) by dividing the equations

For sin x + sqrt(3) cos x, F = 1 and G = sqrt(3), so A^2 = 1 + 3 -> A = 2, and with F and G positive, sin(c) and cos(c) are positive, so c is in the 1st quadrant. cos(c), for example, is F/A = 1/2, so c = pi/3.

There are no analytical solutions for n-body problems with more than two non-negligible masses. Ignoring relativity, the 2-body problem results in Kepler's laws. It's possible to predict motion of additional bodies with negligible mass (i.e. the additional bodies are affected by the gravity of the first two, but their own gravities are too weak to affect anything).

My whole problem with this is that a Cauchy sequence might have a different limit in the other norm, say [math]f[/math] for [math]\|\cdot\|_{L^p}[/math] and [math]g[/math] for [math]\|\cdot\|_{L^q}[/math] in their corresponding spaces.
I also see no possibility to connect these norms in any way (like estimates).

I tried to prove that this intersection is a closed subspace, but to prove this, I need the other norm too, which cannot be estimated.
I also tried using the a.e. converging subsequence, but even this doesn't yield anything useful about the intersection of the spaces (as far as I found).

They'll typically just sample the domain on a regular grid, i.e. brute force. This isn't a viable approach for graphing by hand.

For a bivariate function you'd typically draw contour lines. For x^2y^3, each quadrant is going to look a lot like y=k/x, except there'll be non-linear (but monotonic) transformations applied to the x and y. Note that f(x,y)=0 => x=0 or y=0, i.e. the axes are asymptotes. It's symmetric about x=0 and antisymmetric about y=0 (i.e. contour lines for f>0 will appear in the y>0 half-plane and vice versa).

>> No.10017208

Simplifying roots boils down to factorisation then moving repeated factors outside (duplicate factors for a square root, triplicate for a cube root, etc). Clearly 3402 is a multiple of 9 (digits sum to 9). 3402/9=378, which is also a multiple of 9 (digits sum to 18, a multiple of 9). 378/9 = 42 = 2*21=2*3*7. 3402=9*9*42 => sqrt(3402)=sqrt(9*9*42)=9*sqrt(42).

You don't have to use a calculator. Mental arithmetic or pen-and-paper also work.

No. You have to factor it, although you can optimise the general case by only considering squares of primes (4, 9, 25, 49, 121, ...).

There are various tricks for spotting divisibility by specific integers: multiples of 3 have a digital sum (sum of the digits) which is a multiple of 3, multiples of 9 have a digital sum which is a multiple of 9, multiples of 2 have an even last digit, multiples of 5 end in 5, multiples of 11 have a base-100 digital sum which is a multiple of 11.

Do you mean when you need to switch between radians and degrees? If so, then it's often just what the question uses, in your example it is an integral to pi so it's obviously radians, but had it been degrees then use that instead. When I question doesn't provide with either you can use whatever you want, radians are better since they mathematically allow for a lot of relationships concerning a circle but since degrees are taught so early and used more in daily life they are often more intuitive.

it has been a while since I've done any sort of physics, but here's my attempt:

This problem is better done in polar coordinates, so transform to [math]x=r\cos\theta, y=r\sin\theta[/math]. Then temperature function becomes [math]T(r,\theta)=r\cos\theta\sin(3r\sin\theta))[/math]. Note that both [math]r,\theta[/math] are also functions of time [math]t[/math]. The conditions of the problem state that [math]r=1[/math] is constant, and that [math]\frac{d\theta}{dt}=-\frac{v}{r}=-\frac{2}{1}=-2[/math] is also constant. Note the minus sign comes from the convention that rotations are considered anticlockwise.

The first question asks you to find [math]r\frac{\partial T}{\partial\theta}=\frac{\partial T}{\partial\theta}[/math] (since [math]r=1[/math]) at the given point, which you can easily do once you figure out the polar coordinates of the point.

The second question asks you to find [math]\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}[/math], where you must use the chain rule and the given fact that [math]\frac{d\theta}{dt}=-2[/math].

The next step would seem to be to massage out a [math]-1[/math] from the remaining summation, but I can't seem to see how to do this.

I once searched out of curiosity for a geometrical way to divide a given segment into n equal parts but all I could find was that one method where they draw another line on an angle and divide the segment trial-and-error style with a drawing compass. Are there any more exact ways to do that kind of dividing, considering one was given a very big length and had to divide this segment in odd/prime subsegments ?

'cause I think on the one hand I could go [math]\displaystyle 1 + \sum_{p=1}^{k+1}(-1)^{p+1}\binom{k}{p-1} = \binom{k}{k} + \sum_{p=1}^{k}(-1)^{p+1}\binom{k}{p-1}[/math], but then I'm left with 2 and not 0.

Basic discrete structures question:

List the subsets (ie the power set) of the following set:

{R,Q,N} where R is the real numbers, Q is the irrational numbers, and N is the natural numbers

If I am asked to write the power set of a set that includes as its elements, the rational numbers, the irrational numbers, and the natural numbers, can i write this explicitly (eg like { {}, {R}, {Q}, {N}, ... etc etc } through all combinations of the elements? Or does the fact that each of these symbols represent an infinite set mean that this new set is uncountably infinite and therefore cannot be written explicitly? I thought I was being clever by including in the power set of P(R,Q,N) other power sets like P(R) which would obviously have to be in there, but i don't know if that's enough to make it defined.

The question seems easy either way, but I feel like it's trying to trick me conceptually.

Yes.

A simple check is to remember that a set of n elements has a power set with 2^n elements.

The electromotive force induced over the boundary of the contour in his problem setup vanishes along the two lines that make up the width.

VXB=VB is constant over the contour, so:

E=B*V*L.

This is identical to the equation he gave.

Good-day /sgt/, been studying polar coordinates and while I easily remember the formula's I can't seem to apply them well in this question. Tried caculating r using the formula then using it to find the x + y coordinates to convert to Cartesian form and display the answer graphically though it doesn't appear to have been successful. Apologies for the stupid mistake I must have made.

I stumbled upon trying to find the curvature for a given shape.
How would you simplify sqrt(4 + 4t + 18t^2)?
Also, is there a better way of finding curvature other than taking using K = T’(t)/||r’(t)|| ? Taking these derivatives takes way too long and I can’t bother to simplify these shitty equations, thus leading me to leave a mess on my exam.

none of the given values have any digits in the thousandths place, how could you possibly get 0.325?

the easiest way to solve these is to draw a venn diagram and fill in all of the values for the exclusive regions as in the regions that cannot be subdivided further. then draw out the region for which you are trying to find the probability of, and sum all of the values that are within that region. Also notice that since [math] P(A \cup B \cup C) < 1 [/math] then [math] A^c [/math] includes values that are not in the venn diagram
