We use point and 'and' to dicern between the decimal. 3.5 would be spoken as either three point five, or three and five, as well as three and five tenths. When speaking of it in fractions we say three and a half, or three and one over two...And so on so forth...
So what would one say, about...
What about the language though? Does anything still exist as to how they spoke something like that?
Oh, by the way, is it possible to use Mayan numerals here? And how?
I believe this is the forum to ask this question...
What, English translated, words were used to express values less than 1 and greater than 0 when they were first used? Also, how was devision and subtraction first expressed?
Also, were there any languages in Europe, Africa, or...
I just want to see if I got this correct. From what all I've read it seems that I have most of it understood, but eh, I don't trust my judgement...
Lets say we have f(x) = {{3x^3 + 8x^2 + 7x + 12} \over {4x^2 - 12x - 15}}
And the derivative...
{d \over dx} f(x) = \lim _{h \rightarrow...
Eh, I've gotten a lot further in a month, so who knows what another month will bring...But for now that will do...Thanks for all your help...
What I am trying to do is understand how things are written and said. I've been looking at mayan numbers as well as some others, and when I compair...
Out of curiosity, how does one show a series of numbers or a list in order?
Lets say we use two numerical systems for the same number...
1563 Using the decimal numerical system.
3,18,3 Using the best representation of the Mayan numerical system, or vigesimal, for the same number...
Hmm...After reading about what you wrote matt...I've come to the conclusion that what I was thinking does not exist...
The set, say it be L, would be a set of linnear functions. Each element in each of these functions would be the value of x as the specific function returns 0...
L =...
"do some reading on set theory"
Thank you diffy...
However, I do know that certain numbers blow up in certain kinds of functions...Which is why I defined each function to be linnear...I know common linnear functions will never blow up with any number that is entered into them...At least I...
This is getting wierd...
I'm going to back track here...
f(x) = 3x+5
X is the set of real numbers in which x can be. The domain of f?
Y is the set of numbers which is returned by f. The range of f?
If x = 5, then f(5) = 20
If x = 9, then f(x) = 32
if f(x) = 15, then x = 10/3
if...
Ah...After reviewing my Calculus book, I guess I mixed up different parts together...
How about it being defined as?...
For any set of linnear equations such that any element at one point of x returns 0 then the product of that set is equal to 0.
How about this, then...
If we have a set of three functions...
L = f(x), g(x), h(x)
f(x) = (3x+5)
g(x) = (2x-1)
h(x) = (x-7)
For any L_n = 0 then,
\prod _{g \in L} g(x) = 0
For any element in L that returns 0 then,
the product of all the elements of L multiplied by that x...
I have been pondering over this as well as a few other things and I would like some help as to parts of functions...
(I think I might have written out some of the details in the first thread incorrectly because of this problem)...
There is the definition of the function...
f(x)=ax+b
X...
I want to see if I understand f(A) = \prod _{g\in A} g(x) correctly.
L = q(x), r(x), s(x)
f(L) = \prod _{g\in L} g(x)
Or is the f and g you used in the equation the same f and g in the set?
Could functions be placed into sets?
Such as
L = f(x), g(x), h(x)
Lets say we have some properties which tie these functions together...
f(x) = ax+b
g(x) = cx+d
h(x) = ex+f
f(x)=g(x)=h(x)
This would be several functions which are also constant. Such as a polynomial...
Yikes...I had thought I did a better job at explaining it, I guess not...Well back to the drawing board...
I just thought it was interesting how I came up with it...
I'll try one more time, though...
qx2 + rx = s, and 'Falsely' implying s as the value of x (Actually, I consider...
