    Hey, I need a bit of help with a proof, please

    Here's the item needing to be proofed (this is not homework, but I'm very interested in it). Show that for each odd prime number y, there is exactly one positive integer x such that x(x+y) is a perfect square. Thanks for any help/leads, etc.. -Steve

    CD/DVD Burner Not Burning - Troubleshooting Help

    Okay, it would appear that I can shove my foot in my mouth. Anttech appears to be correct, as in the burner is unable to find the beginning of the disk. I've been googling for hours now, and I'm only http://www.google.com/search?q=focus+or+tracking+error&hl=en&lr=&start=120&sa=N". Anttech...

    CD/DVD Burner Not Burning - Troubleshooting Help

    This is very much incorrect. "focus or tracking error" refers to an issue with the laser. Use google to find more information.

    What is the significance of the numerical sequence 11111121113122223222?

    It's actually Hexidecimal. I don't know it all by heart, but my -converter- tells me that it decodes into "!1""2"

    Why is Tomomi Okazaki chosen for the Trino Olympic athlete?

    I thought 0 times anything = 0? I have 0 apples, how many do I have?

    Position, Velocity: Rock Thrown Up & Dropped from 50ft Meet in Air

    Maybe you should show some work instead of being a lazy person and having others do it for you?

    Call me crazy but, I think there might a speed faster than C

    But you've got that incorrect. This black whole has mass, and therefore something to 'stop' the light. When you shine light at a brick wall does it keep going? Nope. It's merely stopping and being refracted into -blackness- (black is simply the absence of color).

    What is the Angular Speed of a Car Wheel?

    Yes,as andrewchang said. All you are finding is a speed, which is equivelent to s = d / t (speed equals distance divided by time). In your case, however, you are using degrees. Hope this helped.

    Forces and wrecking ball Question

    But wait up. To pull the ball back in the first place, you have to apply a force greater than the weight of the wrecking ball, no? So, 1240*-9.8 = -12152N And, since you are only applying 5480 N, -12152 + 5480 is -6672 (which would be the force holding the wrecking ball in place (something...

    Anybody tried solving Riemann Hypothesis?

    If you want a good source for -info- on the Riemann Hypothesis, check http://www.math.ubc.ca/~pugh/RiemannZeta/RiemannZetaLong.html" As I'm not as advanced as I'd like to even be able to read that, I'm 90% sure that's a very good source for the info, as well as the Java Applet :approve: Steve

    University of Australia Slows Light to 670 mph

    The idea of puting the nuclear spin usage into computesr is inegnious. I mean, you think we have fast comptuers now, just think about getting the computations that take several minutes today, take less than a millionth of a second! Shwew!
