the trouble is with the summation part.

Okay guys I am watching this video (online class for intermediate algebra) and I can't seem to get the teachers answer. Heres the problem

>An inheritance of $40,000 is divided into two investments, one earning 8.5% and 11% interest. How much is in each investment if the total interest for one year is $3550?

The answers I keep getting is

>$34,000 at 8.5% interest
>$6,000 at 11% interest

Teachers answers
>$30,000 at 8.5% interest
>$10,000 at 11% interest

Obviously I am missing something, but I don't know what it is, the teacher in the video doesn't show his work, he just adds 3 dots and then gives you the answer.

>>10707097
What is the trouble with the summation part?
He's leaving the (b/n)^1 outside and distributing the (b/n)^p into the sum. Then he's combining the k^p and the (b/n)^p.

>>10707097
Each term of the sum gets multiplied by (b/n)^p, which is equivalent to the whole sum being multiplied by (b/n)^p. And then it gets multiplied by b/n once more, so in total the whole thing gets multiplied by (b/n)^(p+1),.
Which is what it says in the middle line.

>>10707097
[math] \frac{b^{p+1}}{n^{p+1}} = \frac{b^p}{n^p} \cdot \frac{b}{n} [/math]

thanks, brain fart i guess.

>>10707177
Well, x dollars are in the first account which makes 0.085x interest, and 40000 -x are left in the other which makes 0.11(40000 - x) interest.
Thus 0.085x + 0.11*40000 - 0.11x = 3550.
This says 4400 - 3550 = (0.11 - 0.085)x,
or 850 = 0.025x. So x = 34000.
Sounds like they're screwing something up, unless I am.

>>10707223
well it looks like you got same answer as I did for x = 34000, and another friend of mine she also got the same answers. I'll assume the video messed up.

[math](\implies)[/math] Suppose [math]Nu(L \circ T) = Nu(T)[/math].

Pick [math]w = T(v)\in Im(T). L(w) = 0 \implies v \in Nu(L \circ T)[/math]. Then [math]v \in Nu(T)[/math], so [math]T(v) = w = 0[/math].

[math](\subseteq)[/math] Pick [math]v \in Nu(L \circ T)[/math], we know [math]L(T(v)) = 0[/math]. [math]T(v) \in Im(T) \cap Nu(L)[/math], therefore [math]T(v) = 0[/math] and [math]v = 0[/math]. Then [math]v \in Nu(T)[/math] and [math]Nu(L \circ T) \subseteq Nu(T)[/math].

[math](\supseteq)[/math] Pick [math]v \in Nu(T), T(v) = 0[/math]. Then [math]L(T(v)) = L(0) = 0[/math], so [math]v \in Nu(L \circ T)[/math]. Then [math]Nu(T) \subseteq Nu(L \circ T)[/math].

Combining these two, we get [math]Nu(T) = Nu(L \circ T)[/math], as desired.

Develop a system of linear equations. I'll give you a hint:

Let x and y denote respectively the amount of money placed into the 8.5 anf 11 accounts respecttively. The total amount of interest accrued is

8.5x + 11y=3550.

Figure the other equation out and solve for x and y.

>>10710315
for a better example, take for example f(x) = 0 and g(x) = x^2 when x is not 0, and g(0) = 1. Then clearly the limit as x approaches 0 of g is 0, even though g is always greater than 0.
You're looking for two things which come arbitrarily close as they near a point so that the inequality holds but the limits end up the same. Your intuition for limits should make it clear why many such situations occur.
In general, limiting processes will turn almost ANY strict inequality into a nonstrict comparison.

Can someone help clarify this with me? When solving these questions (I know they shouldn't be difficult, though my imagination is pretty abhorrent), I keep seeing this as the wind traveling in the north-west direction. As I read now it is "coming from..." that'd make it the opposite direction right, hence why mVw is traveling south-east?

>>10710352
a limit at infinity is not the same thing as a limit to a real value. it is a notational convenience. unless you write your function as one on the circle with a point removed.

How is
>(x^2+y^2)^2 <= 2 − (x^2 + y^2)
turned into
>x^2 + y^2 <= 1

I'm missing something obvious here

When doing trig substitutions why do you take the derivative of the trig function you set x to and replace dx with that [d/dx trig-function]dθ?

>>10710292
Not a counterexample

>>10710952
yes you are

let z = (x^2 + y^2)

then z>=0 and z^2 <= 2 - z

which means that z^2 + z <= 2

if z > 1, then z^2 is also > 1, which makes the equation impossible.

Therefore z must be <= 1.

I have a question about combined functions.
I have f(x)=2/x and g(x)=4/(x+4)
I know the domains of these, are x=/=0 and x=/=-4
I know if i added these functions and checked the restrictions on would get a combined domain. But when I divide these functions (f/g)(x), (2/x)/(4/x+4) I get (x+4)/2x which evaluated independently the domain would be (-infinity, 0)U(0, infinity) however, the solution posted includes the -4 as a restriction, denominator only have 0 as a restriction. Why is that?

Can someone please explain to a brainlet how gradients in the direction of a unit vector produce the greatest possible slope?

>>10711050
it's just like any u substitution. you're reversing the chain rule.
if you want a more intuitive answer, the reason is because when you replace x with sin theta, you need to change the "width of the rectangle" dx to be in terms of theta. this new width is the original changed by the ratio dx/dtheta.

>>10711605
well, really they're being idiots, but if you want to be technical i suppose you can't just extend a function to a spot where it wasn't defined before. so really g is defined on the set R takeaway -4, and therefore f/g can only be defined away from -4 since it doesn't make sense to evaluate g at -4. remember that (f/g)(x) is defined to be f(x)/g(x).
again, no one in math will ever make the distinction except for that bullshit question.

Hello everyone, my question involves basic calculus (I think). I'm currently taking an introductory calculus course and so far we've only covered limits. I know that the answer is -1/x^2 but I don't know how that answer was reached. In the picture, I have the steps that I have taken so far. How am I able to rewrite the expression in such a way that I don't get an indeterminate form? Why is the answer -1/x^2?

>>10711609
"In the direction of the unit vector" doesn't mean anything. you can have a unit vector in any direction. I assume that you mean the unit vector in the direction of the gradient. Mathematically, if you take the directional derivative, it is a dot product between the unit vector and the gradient, and any vector dotted with its own unit vector is maximized compared to all other unit vectors. In relation to derivatives, it is because it is composed of the largest relative increases in perpendicular directions (x and y). The dz/dx slice is the greatest change in the x direction, and the dz/dy is the greatest in the y direction. When you put these two together, you get the biggest possible overall change.

>>10711641
You're nearly there, but as >>10711679
said, the delta x should be negative. Then you just cancel out the delta x on the top and the one you factored out on the bottom, leaving you with -1/(x^2+deltax). Then you can just set deltax=0 and you get -1/x^2.

Would love some help calculating the limit of cos(n*x) as a sequence (not a real function, a discrete sequence) of n, as n -> infinity, for some fixed positive x.

I'd like to show that this limit does not exist, for any x that's not some multiple of 2π.

I've managed to show that if there is some x for whom the limit exists (denote the limit as L), then either L = -1/2 or L = 1, and also for the same x it holds that lim sin(nx) = 0. I'd like to somehow conclude that x is a multiple of 2π, but I'm stuck. Any ideas?

>>10712309
Sorry for no latex
Do you mean it like lim n->infinity 1-(nx)^2/2!... like the taylor series or like lim n-> infinity cos(x)+cos(2x)...+cos(nx) sort of like a fourier series?

>>10712344
Definitely not Fourier, I believe it's the first one you've mentioned but we haven't studied the Taylor series for cos/sin in my analysis course yet so I guess I can't rely on such identities.

So to clarify, I'm referring to the limit of the sequence cos(n*x) for all natural n (that is, as n -> infinity, and n takes only discrete positive integer values, whereas x is some fixed positive real number).

Cheers

>>10712309
if x is a rational multiple of pi then the series is periodic, so you need it to be constant to converge.
what happens if x is an irrational multiple of pi? have you heard of the idea of "irrational rotations"? in fact, it turns out that the sequence becomes dense in the interval (-1, 1) - see what you can do to prove this.

>>10712416
Not familiar with the concept, I just googled it and it's definitely beyond my current level, I'm afraid. Thanks tho, I appreciate your help. Should any idea pop to your mind that involves only typical calculus 1/2-level theorems and trig identities, I'd love to hear about it.

If f is injective, while both fog and fog' and defined, show that if fog=fog' then g=g'.

(f and g being functions and fog being the composite of both.)

My biggest problem with this is what they're asking of me when they refer to g'. Are they referring to the complement of the function g? If so how is that defined?

This is from the book Algebra 3rd edition by MacLane and Birkhoff, page 9 exercise 6.

How do we reconcile the existence of Gravitons with the Loop Quantum Gravity theory?

>>10712893
g' is just another function. The idea is that you want to show that if you have two functions g and h, such that fog = foh, then in fact g = h. Either you're not reading the part where it says "g' is another function" or the book has shitty notation.

>>10712894

Should I apply linear regression here?

Okay, so apparently Naturals and Integers have the same cardinality, I can define a bijection between both yadda yadda. I'm not refuting anything... I just don't see it. It makes me doubt so many other simple and trivial shit.
Like then why isn't [math]\overline{\mathbb{N} \cup \mathbb{Z}} \cap \mathbb{Z}[/math] empty. I know it's all negative numbers, I know it "duh". But if we have a bijection between Z and N, they have same cardinality, same number of elements... This starts to make sense when we consider that there are less positive integers than naturals, but then the definition of integers being a super set of naturals (naturals + their negatives) doesn't hold up. Actually it doesn't even make sense to have both an injective and surjective function between a set and its subset.
please help, I can't stop thinking in circles on that subject.

it makes perfect sense, you're just used to finite sets

>>10714616
How do I go about this then?

>>10714504
Is linear regression really what you want? Do you know your operation complexity to already be linear?
You should probably do a polynomial regression and see how much error you can eliminate which each additional term. Alternatively look at your algorithm and estimate the operation complexity.
Is it possible to predict? Yes. But what are you trying to do?

>>10714569
Lets just talk about countable infinite sets. So any two sets that are a bijection from N is defined as countable.
You know that they have the same cardinality, but you don't understand why one set can have "more" elements than the other.
The best way I can describe your example is to use indeterminate form. We're removing an infinite number of elements from an infinite set, and (inf - inf) is indeterminate. This can return a set of three different sizes, empty, finite, or countable. You probably could think of a few examples for each case.

The best way I can think to visualize it is to write down the bijections N->Z and N->(N union Z). You can imagine the "slope" of Z to be 1/2 (because it progresses one value after every 2 natural numbers I guess), and the "slope" of (N union Z) to be 1. So while the limit of the magnitude is infinity, we add 1 value to every two intersections.

Idk if this helps

>>10714616
is this correct:

For every Y there exists a y such that y belongs to Y and X doesnt equal Y?

>>10714608
The empty set has no members. So There exists a set whose power set contains 1 element is equivalent to the negation.

It's provable because, of course, the empty set exists

if youre struggling with N and Z then simplify you dummy
just consider N +1 and N

N+1 is a subset of N
there is very obviously a bijection between the two
then move on to N+2 and N

just because one is contained within the other means nothing
if i asked you how big -N (the negative integers) was compared to N
you wouldnt just give up and say "shit its not contained so i dont know"
containment has nothing to do with size, most sets are disjoint, so that couldnt possibly work

What's a good book for first year calculus?

What kind of definite integral equals [math]\frac{x}{x+1}[/math]?

>>10716405
That's a simple factorization of the denominator...

>>10716411
We know that the indefinite integral of 1/(y+1)^2 is -1/(y+1) and we know that 1-1/(x+1)=x/(x+1). Thus, you have to integrate 1/(y+1)^2 from "a" to x, being "a" a number such 1/(a+1)=1.

The very field of physics was only mathematized in the 17th century. Philosophy of language in the analytical tradition also has a strong mathematical character. It doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. I'm just curious if someone has tried to have a shot at it.

>>10710265
Doesn't say that the functions must be continuous, so here's a shit counterexample.

Let f(x) = 0
Let g(x) = x^2 for all x =/= 0, and g(x) = 1 for x = 0
Then for all x in R, f(x) < g(x), yet
lim x->0 f(x) = lim x->0 g(x) = 0.

>>10716405
Let g(z) = z^3 - z^6 + 11z - 6,
then noting that g(1) = 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0, then (z - 1) is a factor of g(z).

Thus, let g(z) = (z - 1)(z^2 + az + 6) where a is some real constant. By comparing the coefficients of z^2 on both sides, -6 = a - 1 and so a = -5. Thus, g(z) = (z - 1)(z^2 -5z + 6), and factorising the quadratic gives you the result.

>>10716781
Isn't that how noise-cancellation works? The challenge comes from the fact that you want to cancel noises of which you have no control, e.g. cars outside, which makes the creation of this anti-sound difficult..
>A noise-cancellation speaker may be co-located with the sound source to be attenuated. In this case it must have the same audio power level as the source of the unwanted sound. Alternatively, the transducer emitting the cancellation signal may be located at the location where sound attenuation is wanted (e.g. the user's ear). This requires a much lower power level for cancellation but is effective only for a single user. Noise cancellation at other locations is more difficult as the three-dimensional wavefronts of the unwanted sound and the cancellation signal could match and create alternating zones of constructive and destructive interference, reducing noise in some spots while doubling noise in others. In small enclosed spaces (e.g. the passenger compartment of a car) global noise reduction can be achieved via multiple speakers and feedback microphones, and measurement of the modal responses of the enclosure.

x = u^3 + 3
dx/du (the derivative of x with respect to u) = 3u^2 + 0
dx = 3u^2 * du ("multiply" with du to remove from the dx/du)
This way you aren't actually changing the equation since you can just replace u and du with the correct x and dx and get the original equation again.

I really want to learn physics and math, but I always get stuck at the first couple of pages of a supposedly 'introductory' textbook or lecture notes, i.e. 8.01 'Classical mechanics' on MIT OCW. Why? Because there's all this notation that isn't explained-AT ALL. Can someone please explain this to me? For example, on the first page of an introductory textbook, say on classical mechanics, it will include an equation with all sorts of symbols (such as a capital pi) that simply aren't defined or explained.

Is there a standard formula for position of an object that rebounds off something?

I'm trying to figure out whether its possible to create a mathematical solution that determines the position of multiple particles that can collide.

>>10718374
Got an image?

>>10718427
You just use x = v * t + x_0, and whenever two particles collide calculate their new velocities using conseration of energy and momentum.

>>10718481
I'm looking for a formula that can predict positions without having to calculate each collision.

Say if you wanted to jump into a simulation at t=6000 where many collisions have already happened and the particles have displaced from their original position. I don't want to calculate each collision and I'm hoping to calculate just final displacement given a simple initial velocity of each particle at t=0.

>>10718492
I don't think that exists. The trouble is that a) you have many particles, which means a lot of chaotic interactions and b) collisions are discrete events, so you cannot rely on neat continuous functions anyhow. Simpler systems can be analytically solved by deriving and solving the equations of motion in the Lagrangian formalism. If the number of particles gets very high, you can approximate dynamics using mean-field theory, but as the name suggests this doesn't give you the precise position and trajectory of each individual particle.

>>10718492
Look into stochastic rotation dynamics/multiple particle collision dynamics. It has been fairly well investigated in reviews etc.

>>10718427
There is for rigid bodies, but you'll have to assume conservation of kinetic energy or do measurements of the specific situation to use it.
If we assume kinetic energy to be conserved, and that particles don't have any rotational energy, then we can set the coefficient of restitution to one -- the relative velocity along the collision normal will be unchanged.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

You won't ever find a nice general formula for position however, since a collision is usually idealized as happening instantly, so the velocity isn't continuous.
You could do a proper model where collisions are just the result of strong repulsive elecromagnetism, but then you more or less end up with the n-body problem.
Excuse the technical language, but the n-body problem is hard as fuck.

As someone who went straight into physics here's my advice.

Don't choose your major right away. Get to college and just focus on the core curriculum. That'll give you a cushion of one or two years to make up your mind

>>10719587
The best choice is very simple: choose the major you hate the least.

This is just good form because trust me, in 4 years you will have changed so much that whatever you picked now won't be of much concern (unless you went for non-STEM in which case you are qualified for nothing, which is a concern). The cross-breeding of STEM disciplines is pretty strong, you'll see anyone anywhere pretty much (with some minor exceptions). This means you just need to pick the one thing that won't make you kill yourself in the 4 years that you'll be shackled to your university. This is indeed your major concern because the worst thing that could happen to you is if you drop out or kill yourself (more common than you think) during your undergrad.

>>10720108
If he's non-US, as I am, then this is not even an option. You are held at gunpoint and need to specify a major.

I have some questions about the following proof:

\text{Suppose } V \text{ has a subspace } W\\
\text{Now, I wish to prove that } W \text{ has a basis. Proof:}\\

\text{Let } S = \{ \}\\
\text{If there exists and element in } W \text{ that can not be written as a linear combination of } S \text{, then add it to } S \text{. Note that } S \text{ remains linearly independent throughout this process, and note that the process terminates before } n \text{ steps. (If it did not terminate before } n \text{ steps, then we would have } n \text{ linearly independent vectors in } V \text{, which would make a basis for } V \text{ and therefore span } W \text{.}\\

\text{Since } S \subseteq W \text{ is linearly independent and spans } W \text{, we conclude that it must be a basis for } W \text{.}

Is this proof valid? And in particular, is the step about choosing a vector from an infinite set W valid? Choosing arbitrary elements from an infinite set feels uncomfortable.

I'm not really sure. Some cancers are supposedly caused by external elements. So I'd say in that case you'd be somewhat correct, with error being in either female to male ratios, or demographic makeup of a group exposed to adverse risk factors.

But for genetic cancers I have no idea as to rates between body masses as of current numbers.

Vague inclination from a shadow of memory thinks that there's a higher numbers in larger peoples in past. This could have been for many reasons though. Their size could have been from consumption of cancer inducing produce.
So yeah. Enjoy an answer with no affirmation to either camp.

>>10720108
>>10720144
Thank you frens

>>10721193
Literally just using the existential quantifier. Axiom of Choice exists because in the case of an infinite Cartesian product, you'd have to use infinite existential quantifiers to prove the existence of a single element, and infinite statements are formally not allowed. However, if you have a single non-empty set (like the subspace W), by definition of non-empty set there exists (at least) a vector w in W. That "there exists" is enough for me to be able to pick it and start building the set, since I don't need it to meet any additional requirements. And even if I wanted it to meet other requirements, I could call the schema of specification.

>>10711605
basically, since -4 wasn't in the domain of one of the initial functions, then this must maintain in any combination of them
you can also notice that when you multiply both member of the fraction by (x+4) you are also implicitly assuming x!=-4, otherwise you'd be multiplying and dividing by zero
thus, although the resulting function has -4 included in the domain per se, because -4 is not in the domain of g, it is also not in the domain of f/g

>>10724583
> What's the mechanism that causes nucleons bound in a nucleus to have less mass than when they are free?
It's the opposite of fusion. Combine to lighter nuclei to form a heavier one and the release of some excess energy. That energy comes from some of that mass converting from the two original nuclei. So in reverse you then need to add energy to that nucleus to break the attractive force between the nucleons. Some of that energy then becomes extra mass after the division.

Yeah. It's also called a cladogram, I just found. But I need to know a more specific name and a software that I can make them in.

Ah, thank you. Google search for "radial tree" got me results too. I kept searching "round tree" to no avail. Derp.

use textbooks and journal articles references/cited works if you want anything useful relating to stem shit

Why does an O'Neil Cylinder need a second one to cancel out gyroscopic effects?
Why not just use reaction wheels?

>>10725474
>Why not just use reaction wheels?
You'd still need many and large wheels. Might as well make those useful... like a second cylinder.

who goes into the other stem fields? women?

>>10725487
130-140 iq people who don't belong in math or physics and will most likely be unemployable in their late 20's

>>10725487
I think that anon meant iq's between 130 and 140 belong in the rest of STEM

>>10725481
Would they have to be next to each other for that to be functional, or could they connect like sausages?

Why do Pop-Sci fags love Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Nikola Tesla so much?

>>10724574
First, the concept of a limit at infinity doesn't exist for a multivariate function (over the reals); they only have limits at specific points.

For a continuous function, the limit at a point is just the value of the function at that point (but a limit may exist at points where the function itself is undefined; e.g. the limit of sin(x)/x is 1 at x=0, even though the expression can't be evaluated there).

And for a continuous function, the limits inferior and superior are just equal to the limit. Discontinuous functions can have distinct limits superior and inferior at a point; but that isn't applicable to your example; the limit of f is just the value of f (both f and its limit are undefined at <0,0>), and the limits inferior and superior are always equal to the limit.

Does anyone know how much a Masters costs vs a bachelors? It seems most i am applying for are 30 credit hours throughout the two years, while for a bachelors 30 credits is normal for two semesters, so for a masters could i assume that the tuition will be about half of what they charge for a bachelors per year? or do universities typically charge more for grad courses? the universities im looking at arent very specific on how much it costs per year for masters which doesnt help. I may just email them.

Separate question is how difficult is it to get into a RA and/or TA position during a masters, or is it program dependent? Ive heard they are paid and cut or remove tuition costs so Id like to do that if I dont get fellowships or funding of any kind

>>10725675
They usually dont have a great grasp on the underlying science or technology behind the big ideas those people throw around and who actually works on it, so they become attached to the figurehead that typically explains the ideas. Nikola Tesla isjusyt mysterious to most of them which seems epic

>>10724931
They are actually quite healthy. Some people even make strawberry leaves tea.

Are there any beam profilers that dont cost an arm and a leg?
I have few blue lights I wanna check.
Is DIY solution possible?

>>10725945
Commercial ones are probably filled with pesticides.
If he grown home a pot or two sure they are fine.

Why is this true?

>42n+8 and 42n+9 share no prime factors.
How can you see that that is true for any n?

I'm sorry for being a brainlet.

>>10726243
He's talking about those tiny leaves at the strawberry stem I guess. I don't think they have more pesticides than the strawberry itself. Also
>not buying certified organic

>>10725471
You might wanna check out expasy.ch anon

>>10726569
Obviously two consecutive integers, a and b, can't share a prime factor p.
Because then you would be able to write it as a + k*p = b, for some integer k.
Which is impossible, since k*p can't be 1.

>>10726587
I have a big garden my friend and two plots of strawberries.
I make them,just got the first batch this morning.

>>10726599
Nice. You could try that strawberry leaf tea and tell us how it taste.

>>10726602
I will,since i never had one :)

>>10707087
Ok, so we're doing collisions in Physics, pretty basic stuff, but my current prof. confuses me the most.
A mass m1 with velocity u1-> collides with mass m2 at rest in the xy plane. They afterwards have the velocities v1-> and v2->, and conservation laws apply.
I was gonna write the rest of the context, but since it would be egregious without TeX, I think it's more effective I just post the thing in kraut runes and translate the relevant stuff.
>Choose coordinate system so coll. happens in xy plane with:
...
>Now ...
>Using this in (4) gives us
...
>Multiplying with m2/(m1+m2) gives us ... or
(ξ - µu1)^2 + η^2 = (µu1)^2
µ is the reduced mass.

I'm trying to understand how he came to the equation at the end with (µu1)^2, but I can't quite wrap my head around it.
Closest I came was
2ξu1/(m1+m2) = u1^2 - v1^2
but even there I can't progress.
t. brainlet humbly requesting help.

>>10726663
He's completing the square by adding [math] (\mu u_1)^2 [/math] to both sides of the equation [math] \xi^2 + \eta^2 -2 \mu u_1 \xi = 0 [/math].

You should become a seaman, being so salty.

>>10725935
Never mind, i found the first question and it is much cheaper for the masters.

where does the -2cd comes from?

>>10727070
Apply the Pythagorean theorem on the (c-d),h,a triangle first and then on the h,b,d triangle, and just substitute the value of h. The -2cd comes from the square of (c-d), which you have to evaluate for the first triangle.

>>10727112
holy shit i am retarded, this is what you get if you don't use maths for ten years - i forgot that c-d square is diffrent from c square minus d square
thank you very much, tho at my level of stupidity i should probably off myself

>>10726880
In the range from [math] a [/math] to [math] b [/math] there are [math] \lfloor \frac{b}{1001} \rfloor - \lceil \frac{a}{1001} \rceil [/math] lucky numbers, if I'm not mistaken.

>>10727143
lol ignore this
I thought it said if the first and last 3 digits are the same. not their sum

>>10725521
pls respond

>>10726844
lmao I'm retarded I had all the necessary steps for so long including that one but I had an oversight and didn't notice it was just the same equation
Thank you.

non /sci/ here. That might be obvious with my question; has quantum theory/quantum states or anything similar been proven? If not why is it talked about?

>>10725945
I found the following on the internet:

Many people make herbal tea with fresh,just-picked, undamaged strawberry leaves, or with strawberry leaves that have dried out completely over several weeks. In doing so, they seem to suffer no ill effects.
However, like all the other plants in the rose family (Rosaceae), the leaves of strawberry plants releasehydrogen cyanidegas in the early weeks of their decay process.Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a very deadly poison. As a result, strawberry leaves during this period of decay are extremely toxic and must not be consumed in any way.


So I guess it's okay as long as they are not decaying?

Where do I get the mean anomaly for the earth-sun orbit for JD2000? I'm kinda at a loss here.

>>10727271
yes, you should look into the double slit experiment. if you'd like to see a quick nontechnical overview of some of the quantum phenomena which have been recorded experimentally (in real life) you should check out the first two lectures of MIT OCW's quantum physics 1 course, here is the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ3bPUKo5zc
they're very fun, very cool lectures which are entertaining and mind boggling even without a background in physics. if you decide to go past the second lecture, it will start getting more physics heavy.

why do some people just not die? I mean there are long term drug addicts who never ate right, never exercised or anything they just blasted drugs as and when they feel like it and they don't die and still seem to be lucid even after in some cases decades of hard drug abuse? is there anything worth reading on this or are they just outliers? if so does anyone know what causes it?

>>10727552
Thanks, I'll watch that.
The double split doesn't explain alot of the stuff I hear coming from the idea of quantum, such as stuff spinning in two opposite directions at the same time... or does it?

What is refraction?
How does slowing light through a medium cause it to bend? I'm always given the car moving through mud example, but does it really work if it's a single particle or a wave?

>>10727659

>>10727661
Thanks!

>>10727650
no it does not directly, but it should give you some idea for why stuff spinning in two directions "at the same time" can work and what that might mean. i think these lectures touch on that sort of thing, i'm not sure. but they certainly hit the same flavor as what you're thinking of.

>>10726387
It's just equivalent to (g^a)^b≡(g^b)^a (mod p).

The associative, commutative and distributive laws still hold in modular arithmetic, so (a^b)%p=((a%p)^b)%p.

>>10726880
Probably meant: find an algorithm which is more efficient than
for(i=a; i<=b; i++) { if(is_lucky(i)) count++; }
It sounds like a Project Euler problem; although if it was PE, they'd be thousand-digit numbers rather than six-digit numbers; for six-digit numbers, the brute-force approach would take less than a minute.

>>10727563
Caloric restriction prolongs life. Also you're biased.

>>10728148
How do you not constantly lose weight if you're restricting calories?

Or does this mean just eating at maintenance?

>>10728148
has causality been established?

Let me explain why I ask: if you're able to only eat exactly what you need at all times, it also means you're able to access it at will at all times, ie you're living a pretty fucking good life.

If not, you're having to build up fat reserves when food is plenty and use them up when/if it gets scarce, which indicates a more stressful life in general.

So is it correlation or causation?

Uhh...am I insane or does this not regress infinitely?

t. really really stupid anon trying to learn math for the first time

I used F.O.I.L. is that wrong?

if you draw 4 arrows why are there 6 terms in your last line?

For some reason I got constantly really, really horny and generally thirsty around girls when I visited my hometown after moving out about 1 year ago. Is there a scientific reason for this?

How do I get the RMS value of the signal shown? All of the "steps" are equivalent T/6 periods.
Do I have to use the integral for an arbitrary RMS or is there a simpler way?

fuck I swapped the two bottom values, it should be -Uo/3 first, then -2Uo/3 obviously. Sorry.
