    Undergrad Is \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{5} an Algebraic Number?

    HallsofIvy, (\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2})^4-6(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2})^2+1 = 98.596 i got a different result, for any \sqrt{a}, \sqrt{b} just use (\sqrt{a}+ \sqrt{b})*(\sqrt{a}- \sqrt{b})*(-\sqrt{a}+ \sqrt{b})*(-\sqrt{a}- \sqrt{b}) and expand i haven't read the whole article, just the...

    Undergrad Is \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{5} an Algebraic Number?

    is \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{5} an algebraic number? i used 2 and 5 arbitrarily, try any integers (as long as they are not the same integer, in which case it is algebraic) I tried finding a polynomial with rational coefficients that zeros at this value, but haven't found any.

    Undergrad Converting rational number to a new base.

    every rational number can be expressed as a numerator and a denominator (for decimal to fraction conversion see wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_(mathematics)#Converting_repeating_decimals_to_fractions" you should be able to figure out how to do it to other bases) now just...

    Graduate Can two zeros of the Riemann zeta function off the critical strip share an imaginary part?

    solamon please, and I'm not saying it because I'm bad, and i don't want to hurt anyone, but please- SHUT UP! p.s. please lock this thread.

    Graduate Zeta function in the critical strip

    i tried using the euler product but it didn't work, but thanks for the eta-gamma integral, can you show me the zeta-gamma integral two and save me the search?

    Graduate Zeta function in the critical strip

    or, is there a way to calculate values in the critical strip without using an alternating series?

    Graduate Zeta function in the critical strip

    can we express the eta function as a product of primes?

    Graduate Zeta function in the critical strip

    how do i calculate values of the riemann zeta function in the critical strip? because if you only know zeta as a series: \zeta(s) = \sum 1/n^s and the functional equation \zeta(s) = 2^s\pi^{s-1}\sin\left(\frac{\pi s}{2}\right)\Gamma(1-s)\zeta(1-s)...

    Graduate Can two zeros of the Riemann zeta function off the critical strip share an imaginary part?

    i don't have a proof, which is way I'm asking, i thought maybe someone can prove that there cannot be a pair with the same imaginary part but this turns out more complicated then i thought it would be.:frown:

    Graduate Can two zeros of the Riemann zeta function off the critical strip share an imaginary part?

    i'm looking for two complex zeros that both have the same imaginary part but have diffrent real part, non with real part half. it differs from the riemann hypothesis because i don't care for a single zero off the strip, just pairs:smile:. MAYBE some one can prove that, like that dude who proved...
