I'm having trouble processing math atm, I'm a perfectionist so each time I delve into a topic on my "self-study" I try to understand all of it. but that generally takes too long a time to focus on other "important" math stuff that actually matters right then like studying some trig stuff and...

I posted this question in another place, and got this answer: Can you explain why is the above argument wrong? The thing about trying to find multiple answers to a problem, I mean it is a fun thing to do, but what is the time limit for doing that? and if I try to find different ways to solve a...

Background about myself (Can be skipped) I'm a gifted math student in the 11th grade, I studied Differential Calculus 2 years ago and I did pretty well in it, unfortunately I'm not studying math a lot these days, but I've gained a lot of experiences in life that made me more mature than I was 2...

I guess it is hopeless

Anyone, help?

So I was reading this book, "Euclidean and non Euclidean geometries" by Greenberg I solved the first problems of the first chapter, and I would like to verify my solutions 1. Homework Statement Homework Equations [/B] Um, none that I can think of? The Attempt at a Solution (1) Correct...

If a number a has a conjugate b, and a is a root of the polynomial function f(x) then b must be a root of f(x) Sure, but I just proven you're wrong, try (x + 1- sqrt(3))(x-2), How can you explain that? I'm convinced but do you have a proof of that?

If a number a has a conjugate b, and a is a root of the polynomial function f(x) then b must be a root of f(x) Sure, but I just proven you're wrong, try (x + 1- sqrt(3))(x-2), How can you explain that, furthermore, you've just stated the theorem without any proof, just "you're wrong" Sorry...

At the beginning of the summer, I was studying a precalculus course, in which I was taught that whenever a polynomial equation has a root in the form a + sqrt(b)c or a + ib, then another root would be its conjugate, I took it for granted for that time and I thought it was intuitive. Later on...

Oh so THIS is college algebra, and MA109 2002 is just an advanced course. Well I'm conviced, thanks. I think this question is answered.

Thank you all for replying and for reading my long post, I want to clarify a couple of things 1. First of all I don't need any precalculus stuff, I have mastered algebra 1, 2 and Trigonometry, really don't need precalculus 2. Second, College Algebra isn't precalculus, it looks to me like a mix...

Ok so a bit of background about myself I finished 1. Algebra 1 and 2 2. Trigonometry (Basics) 3. Basics of complex numbers 4. The very basics of matrices (addition, subtraction, multiplication, identites, inverses only) 5. Basic differential Calculus I want to learn mathematics in this order...

I'm sorry, I can't understand what are you trying to explain

Homework Statement Ok so this isn't really a problem, more like a problem set, I'm not sure if I'm able to understand it yet. The context is determining all the primitive pythogrean triples Letting x = a/c and y = b/c, we see that (x, y) is a point on the unit circle with rational number...
