AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the length of segment AB where a line intersects a circle defined by the equations x=5cos(m) and y=5sin(m). A user initially derived the line's equation as y=-x but ended up with a length of 0, indicating a potential misunderstanding of the concepts involved. Other participants express confusion about the relevance of the given point and seek clarification on the question's specifics. The conversation highlights the need for a clearer understanding of the geometric relationships in the problem. Ultimately, the participants are looking for guidance to resolve the discrepancies in their calculations.

the question:
if a straight line c(-*81/2,-*81/2) making an angle 135 dge with x-axis,cuts the circle x=5cosm y=5sinm in points A and B ,find length of segment AB .
in the equation of line by solving i got y=-x
and tried to solve and ended up getting length of AB as 0 but the solution has done a different way and got different answer//probably i am using some wrong concepts..please help

hi anmolnanda! :smile:

(have a square-root: √ and a degree: ° :wink:)

i don't understand …

what does that point have to do with it? :confused:

what exactly is the question?​
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
