Absolute Definition and 1000 Threads

Reals $x,\,y$ and $z$ satisfies $3x+2y+z=1$. For relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$, let the maximum of $\dfrac{1}{1+|x|}+\dfrac{1}{1+|y|}+\dfrac{1}{1+|z|}$ be $\dfrac{q}{p}$. Find $p+q$.

Hello all, I just joined this group after stumbling over a post from 2003 on this topic. The issue I'd like to deal with is the spinning bucket of water and why the water will still climb up the sides of the bucket if the bucket is stationary. In the original post an Absolutist put it like...

How much does a typical solid shrink when cooled from room temperature to absolute zero. I can't solve this myself because the coefficient of linear thermal expansion varies with temperature

If two identical radioactive masses were subjected to the "twin paradox" experiment of Langevin, would the mass that traveled be really less radioactive than the one that did not? Radioactive decay is supposed to be independent of physical conditions and to only depend on the isotope.

I sort of messed up while writing all my code, and now I regret it. Is there any way to fix all my import statements without manually going through every single one of the modules I created and appending the folder names to the start of each and every imported module name? I am unable to find...

Is it true that ##\frac{|a|}{|b|} = |\frac{a}{b}|## and ##|a| < |b| = a^2 < b^2##?

I came across this line in my java textbook-"Abstraction is the absolute property of a class".i want to know what does absolute property exactly mean and why it is considered an absolute property?Also how does it effect(or is useful) when we practically do programming?

I'm trying to understand if the amount of effort/energy required to get to absolute zero approaches infinity, or if its a linear thing... is there a point in which dropping near 0 kelvin changes from a 1:1 to an exponential curve? Is the whole thing a curve or is there a static point, like 1...

First, I try to define the function in the figure above: ##V(t)=100\left[sin(120\{pi}\right]##. Then, I use the fact that absolute value function is an even function, so only Fourier series only contain cosine terms. In other words, ##b_n = 0## Next, I want to determine Fourier coefficient...

Solve for y: $\quad |y+3|\le 4$ a.$\quad y \le 1$ b.$\quad y\ge 7$ c.$\quad -7\le y\le1$ d. $\quad -1\le y\le7$ e. $\quad -7\ge y \ge 1$ Ok I think this could be solved by observation but is risky to do so...

So far I've got the real part and imaginary part of this complex number. Assume: ##z=\sin (x+iy)##, then 1. Real part: ##\sin x \cosh y## 2. Imaginary part: ##\cos x \sinh y## If I use the absolute value formula, I got ##|z|=\sqrt{\sin^2 {x}.\cosh^2 {y}+\cos^2 {x}.\sinh^2 {y} }## How to...

How to solve these two absolute value problems? 1. ##|3x - 5| > |x + 2|## My attempt: From what I read in my textbook, the closest properties of absolute value is the one that uses "equal" sign ##|3x - 5| = |x + 2|## ##3x - 5 = x + 2## ##3x -x = 5 + 2## ##2x = 7## ##x = \frac{7}{2}## ##|3x -...

Here is the Q Very unsure about how to approach this question but this is what I have tried Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks

In some derivations of the CHSH inequality, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHSH_inequality, the following arises : $$CHS=\int A(a,l1)B(b,l1)dl1-\int A(a,l2)B(b',l2)dl2+\int A(a',l3)B(b,l3)dl3+\int A(a',l4)B(b',l4)dl4\\ =\int A(a,l)B(b,l)dl1-A(a,l)B(b',l)+A(a',l)B(b,l)+A(a',l)B(b',l)dl$$ 1)...

Hi! My first question: How does he get the equation ##\frac {x_A} {2πr_1} = -\frac {θ} {2π}## ?

To describe the movement of the planets, Newton assumed that there was such a thing as gravity. But he didn't know what gravity was. To derive the Lorentz transformation, Einstein assumed that the speed of light was absolute (not relative), but is it also known why the speed of light is absolute?

given $|y+3|\le 4$ we don't know if y is plus or negative so $y+3\le 4 \Rightarrow y\le 1$ and $-(y+3)\le 4$ reverse the inequality $ y+3 \ge -4$ then isolate y $y \ge -7$ the interval is $-7 \le y \le 1$

please tell me if I'm correctly understanding what Newton was trying to say about time being absolute.did he mean that it doesn't matter whether or not you have a clock(which could be any repetetive phenomena) or how that clock is moving, time exists independently of all observation.(that's how...

In physics, the concept of absolute time and absolute space are hypothetical concepts closely tied to the thought of Newton. Absolute, true and mathematical time of itself, and from its own nature flows equally without regard to anything external. There is another term duration measures...

From integration by parts, and using y(10) = 0, I get the equation ##2e^{3t-30} = \frac{|y-2|}{|y+1|}.## Let ##f(t) = 2e^{3t-30}##. Since it's for t>10, f(10) = 2, and we have ##2=\frac{|y-2|}{|y+1|}##. Depending on the sign I choose to use, I get either that y=-4 or y =0. Since ##t: 10...

Does neutron decay outside of the nucleus occur faster, slower, or at the same speed when the environment it is in is near absolute zero? Do any external factors affect the speed of a neutron decaying?

Hello all I was wondering someone could help clear up my understanding about the difference between Absolute and Gauge Pressure. After some reading i have been told that the Absolute Pressure is pressure taken at 0 relative to a vacuum. I am trying to understand what this actually means...

Why can't absolute time be used to describe events? Previously I tried to describe entanglement collapse on this forum in terms of absolute time, but I was told more or less this was not valid. I don't understand why. If the proper time that we use is based on the fact that the speed of light...

Aristotle's absolute space and time can be represented as ordered pairs (s, t) but not as fibers π(s) = t of time as is the case of Galileo and Newton's space time. That is to say that the space of Galileo and Newton is the projection π(s) = t on the time axis. The time space of Galileo and...

I’m just imagining spacetime that is spatially infinite but has a beginning in time. Naively, there would be only one (class of) reference frame(s with the same velocity) in which time starts simultaneously everywhere. (This is a naive application of “relativity of simultaneity” from SR.) But...

I don't know if this question suits this forum, I post this here actually because I saw (if not my memory is failing) that here it is also possible to solve math problems. So, back on track: I like to discover things from myself, so I searched for the Euler's formula, willing to find the...

I think I can eliminate A because the equations depict a linear relationship. Since the gauge pressure is in a linear relationship with the absolute pressure, I would say exactly 2, but the answer is d.

X-1 > 0 x>1 $x^2$ - 2x >0 X>2 For 0<x<1 f(x) = -x +1 + -$x^2 $ +2x For 1<x<2 f(x) = x -1 - $x^2 $ + 2x Find each of the equation the critical point By using f'(x) = 0 And decide which is max and min I get x = 1/2 and x = 3/2 But it's wrong Why?

I am guessing this is an easy one to grasp, but I think I am missing something in my understanding of relativity. Relativity suggests that as an object moves toward the speed of light, a greater amount of force is required to increase its velocity. For this to be true, wouldn't it require the...

You may think you've seen this before, since I've seen similar discussions in the archives of this, but I think I've distilled the thoughts down to a couple of facts that contradict the common beliefs regarding relativity. Let me preface this with a basic observation: Lorenz invariance does not...

In transforming an integral to new coordinates, we multiply the “volume” element by the absolute value of the Jacobian determinant. But in the one dimensional case (where “change of variables” is just “substitution”) we do not take the absolute value of the derivative, we just take the...
