A power has two parts. Base and Exponent. A number 423 in base 10 can be written in other bases as well: 1. 4* 10^2 + 2*10^1 + 3*10^0 = 423 2. 1*7^3 + 1*7^2 + 4*7^1 + 3*7^0 = 1143 3. 7*60^1 + 3*60^0 = 73 All three expressions are equal in quantity. But I have written the multiplier of powers...

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what...

I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber...

, I made this truth table, so this would be the output. I need to create a combinational circuit with inputs SW[2:0] that output this with the least amount of transistors. What is the strategy here? I have also attached my planning document: If you want to know how I selected the control...

I'm reading arithmetic for the practical man (very behind in math) and I'm stuck on finding the amount of ciphers in a number. for context, "In arithmetic, a cipher is an old-fashioned term for the zero digit or any Arabic numeral." The source is Google AI which I know is not the best source but...

I posted this to clarify on the highlighted part- english problem for me. First less than -200 means what? Otherwise, the steps to solution are clear... cheers

This is basic modular arithmetic but I just can't get it to work no mather how many different methods I try. I probably have failed to understand some basics of modular algebra... Help is appreciated! Correct is supposed to be ##16##

##15120=2^4 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7##. Now let the two factors be ##a,b##. I am given ##ab=15120## and ##a-b=6##. ##15120## is an even number, hence one of the factors must be even. Since ##a-b=6##, I can confirm both ##a,b## are even because only even subtracted by even results in even. One...

This is the question I read in a Math quizzes book: - you have the first 13 integers from 1 to 13 - someone gives you a code made of at most 4 digits (0 to 9) - you decipher the code and tell him exactly which numbers he wanted from the list each number can be picked only once For example. case...

We have come to accept that Infinity times two is infinity. In the sense of 'size' we use to think about everyday numbers, the rules of arithmetic with infinities seem like nonsense. For example, consider the computable number $$0.100100100100100....$$ In the decimal expansion, there are...

So I was thinking about arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means when I had a thought. Let's say we have a curve y = x^2. We want to find the AM of the points on the curve between x=1 and x=2 i.e. y = 1 and y = 4. To make thing easier, we'll start with just the endpoints and keep adding...

>>> from numpy import exp, pi >>> exp(1j*pi) (-1+1.2246467991473532e-16j) The fact that the imaginary part of this is not zero is wrecking a fourier collocation scheme for a nonlinear PDE with periodic boundary conditions: the coefficient corresponding to the Nyquist frequency, which should be...

For the first part, I have used a= 2, b = eps/2, c = eps/2 which I believe works and I have tested it in MATLAB however haven't had any luck reproducing the second part in MATLAB with any numbers. Any hints? Thanks

I know that this expression evaluates to 1 when a is equal to 0. Also for when a is equal to 1/n when n is a positive number, but I'm confused about how to go about this in double precision?

Hi, Suppose I am given a sequence of special symbols and I want to produce the next sequence of symbols according to certain rules that transform one symbol into one or more symbols. They are 10 symbols in total, say; A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J The rules are: A transformed into B and it is...

Hey,... is that correct to say that "The null part added to itself will always remain the same as itself, namely null."" In arithmetic, 3 * 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0; It is therefore healthy to extrapolate as follows:∞-1 * 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 +... + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 ∞ * 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 +... + 0 + 0 + 0...

My attempt; The terms in the arithmetic sequence are ;##[ a, a+2d,a+5d]##. It follows that; Common ratio ##r=\dfrac{a+2d}{a}=\dfrac{a+5d}{a+2d}## ##⇒ar+2rd=a+2d+3d## ##ar+2rd=ar+3d## ##ar+2rd-ar=3d## ##2rd=3d## ##r=\dfrac{3d}{2d}=\dfrac{3}{2}## The solution given on the textbook is...

Proof: Suppose ## a\equiv b \mod n ##. Then ## n\mid (a-b)\implies a-b=kn ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{Z} ##. Since ## m\mid n ##, it follows that ## n=mp ## for some ## p\in\mathbb{Z} ##. Note that ## a-b=k(mp)\implies a-b=mq ## where ## q=kp ## is an integer. Thus ## m\mid (a-b) ##. Therefore...

I try to list all the possible sequences: 1 2 3 1 3 5 1 4 7 2 3 4 2 4 6 2 5 8 3 4 5 3 5 7 4 5 6 4 6 8 5 6 7 6 7 8 I get 12 possible outcomes, so the probability is ##\frac{12 \times 3!}{8^3}=\frac{9}{64}## But the answer key is ##\frac{5}{32}## . Where is my mistake? Thanks

Analysis shows that this is simply ##s-s_0=ut+1/2at^2##. Similarly we can describe the motion of...

Could someone explain why ##[a][x_0]=[c]\iff ax_0\equiv c\, (mod\, m)##? My instructor said it came from the definition of congruence class. But I am not convinced.

How do I build functions by using Arithmetic Sequence, Geometric Sequence, Harmonic Sequence? Is it possible to create all the possible function by using these sequences? Thanks!

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic essentially states that any positive whole number n can be written as: ##n = p_1^{a_1} \cdot p_2^{a_2} \cdot p_3^{a_3} \cdot \dots## where ##p_1##, ##p_2##, ##p_3##, etc. are all the primes, and ##a_1##, ##a_2##, ##a_3##, etc. are non-negative integers...

How many different arithmetic sequences have the sum of the first n terms n^2? solution an= 2n-1.Does that mean there is only one arithmetic sequence?

Let $a_1,a_2,\,\cdots,\,a_{2n}$ be an arithmetic progression of positive real numbers with common difference $d$. Let (1) $a_1^2+a_3^2+\cdots+a_{2n-1}^2=x$ (2) $a_2^2+a_4^2+\cdots+a_{2n}^2=y$ (3) $a_n+a_{n+1}=z$ Express $d$ in terms of $x,\,y,\,z,\,n$.

Well, I am having a little difficulty knowing how to approach finding a solution to this problem. I am aware that in an arithmetic progression the first term is a and there is a constant common difference defined as d=un+1-un Expanding the binomial given...

Summary:: Sequences, Progressions Hello. I have been Given the following exercise, Let (a1, a2, ... an, ..., a2n) be an arithmetic progression such that the sum of the last n terms is equal to three times the sum of the first n terms. Determine the sum of the first 10 terms as a function of...

Question 1; Method 1 If the sum of the first four terms is 139 then S4=139 139=1/2(4)(2a+(4-1)d) 139=2(2a+3d) 139=4a+6d----- [1] The part of this question that is confusing is the "the sum of the next four terms is 115". Would this mean that S8=S4+115=139+115=254? In which case...

The fundamental theorem of arithmetic applies to prime factorizations of whole numbers. Can this theorem also correctly be invoked for all rational numbers? For example, if we take the number 3.25, it can be expressed as 13/4. This can be expressed as 13/2 x 1/2. This cannot be broken...

Hi everyone, I can find multiple of number for example 2,3,4 and so on. But is there any reason why those number does work.

I am thinking of taking modular of 13 to both sides of equation. So it will become 22x^2 is 11 mod 13. And try all the values from x equal to zero to x equal to 11. Is their easier way to solve it

I find most of the errors I make are related to arithmetic or using the wrong sign. (Note: This applies to mainly algebra and trigonometry for me.) I've tried writing slower and neater, and have been structuring my operations linearly on the paper step by step. Do any of you have some tried...

When people graduate and have their degrees in engineering or physics or mathematics or what they may have done, some of these people will use some mathematics, very often which is some-what complicated (or not) arithmetic. Why will some people choose to strictly avoid using variables in the...

Here is a "problem" that is "befudding" folks on the internet. To the less mathematically mature, it might be vexing, but to us mathematically mature, we should have a clear comprehensive meme so that stupid things like this don't happen...

When they give reason for multiplication the negative numbers leading to positive number, they base on distribute law.But why the distribute law in algebra is correct like in arithmetic?(e.g why -5(8-6)=-5.8+-5.-6?).In abstract algebra they use distribute law as axiom.But in elementary algebra...

Hello, I have a simple question and am hoping someone can help. I have a power plant that loses 0.5% production capacity per year for 25 years. When working with the plant capacity in terms of percentages, year 0 is defined as 100% capacity. For year 1 and each subsequent years, is it correct...

First, I know the answer: 301. I thought (despite the injunction that the problem is to be done without number theory) that the Chinese Remainder Theorem might be of help (if I would use a subset which contained only relatively primes), but that didn't get very far. I also tried to spot a...

Has anybody ever heard of this? I learned about it in a discrete math class in grad school, and I've never heard of it anywhere else !? For example, logical disjunction (OR) and set-theoretic UNION are isomorphic in this sense: 0 OR 0 = 0. {0} UNION {0} = {0}. Similarly, logical AND & set...

In Peter Smith's Godel book, 2 conditions are proven of several that make Q "order adequate" O2: For any n, Q ⊢ ∀x ({x=0 v x=1 v...v x=n} → x≤n) 03: For any n, Q ⊢ ∀x (x≤ n → {x=0 v x=1 v...v x=n}) O3 is proved by induction. O2 is not. It would appear as if induction would be required in...

Hi, I am self studying induction and came across the following problem. I am stuck on how to proceed (I need to use induction, I know there is a direct proof). My proof attempt is as follows: Let ## P (m) ## be the proposition that: $$ \sum_{i = m + 1}^{n} i = \frac{(n - m)(n + m + 1)}{2} $$...
