Bell's 1971 derivation The following is based on page 37 of Bell's Speakable and Unspeakable (Bell, 1971), the main change being to use the symbol ‘E’ instead of ‘P’ for the expected value of the quantum correlation. This avoids any implication that the quantum correlation is itself a...

This is problem 20b from chapter I 4.10 of Apostol's Calculus I. The geometric mean $$G$$ of $$n$$ positive real numbers $$x_1,\ldots, x_n$$ is defined by the formula $$G=(x_1x_2\ldots x_n)^{1/n}$$. Let $$p$$ and $$q$$ be integers, $$q<0<p$$. From part (a) deduce that $$M_q<G<M_p$$ when...

Hello, I have this inequality: $$-x^2 + 4 < 0$$ Then, I get to $$-(x-2)(x+2) < 0$$ Now, how do I solve this question from here. I understand that x = -2, or x =2 but how do I use this to solve the inequality? Thanks

Solve the Ineqality $$x^2 + 2x -8 \le 0$$I know enough to factor it like this $$(x-4) (x+2) \le 0$$ So I get 4 and -2. I just don't know how to get to the answer from here which is: $$x \ge -4\cup x\le 2$$ unless I'm misreading the answer incorrectly. Thanks

Homework Statement Use M.I. to prove that n! > n^3 for n > 5 The Attempt at a Solution I already proved n! > n^2 for n>4, but this is nothing like that. This is my inductive step so far. n=k+1 (k+1)! > (k+1)^3 (k+1)! - (k+1)^3 > 0[/B] (k+1)! - (k+1)^3 = (k+1)[k! - (k+1)^2]...

Bell, QM Ideas - Science 177 1972 :" Strictly, however. a hidden variable theory could be non-deterministic; the hidden variable could evolve randomly (possibly even discontinuously) so that their values at one instant do not specify their values at the next instant" From the locality...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHSH_inequality#Bell.27s_1971_derivation The last step of the CHSH inequality derivation is to apply the triangle inequality. I see there are relative polarization angles, but I don't see any sides have defined length to make up a triangle. Where is the triangle?

Hi MHB, When I first saw the problem (Prove that $\sin^2 x<\sin x^2$ for $0\le x\le \sqrt{\dfrac{\pi}{2}}$), I could tell that is one very good problem, but, a good problem usually indicates it is also a very difficult problem and after a few trials using calculus + trigonometry method, I...

Homework Statement Find all integer roots that satisfy (3x + 1)/(x - 4) < 1. The Attempt at a Solution I would do this: Make it an equation and find x such that (3x + 1)/(x - 4) = 1. 3x + 1 = x - 4 2x = -5 x = -5/2 Then check if the inequality is valid for values smaller than x and for...

hi there, I am trying to prove the following inequality: let z\in \mathbb{D} then \left| \frac{z}{\lambda} +1-\frac{1}{\lambda}\right|<1 if and only if \lambda\geq1. The direction if \lambda>1 is pretty easy, but I am wondering about the other direction. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! First of all thank you for a great forum! I downloaded the app and find it ingenious! The problem stated above is from "3000 Solved Problems in Calculus". The book solves this problem simply by stating: "No. Let a=1 and b=-2". However, I am curious to know if it is possible...

This is from section I 4.9 of Apostol's Calculus Volume 1. The book states the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality as follows: $$\left(\sum_{k=1}^na_kb_k\right)^2\leq\left(\sum_{k=1}^na_k^2\right)\left(\sum_{k=1}^nb_k^2\right)$$ Then it asks you to show that equality holds in the above if and only if...

Hi guys, I have to teach inequality proofs and am looking for an opinion on something. Lets say I have to prove that a2+b2≥2ab. (a very simple example, but I just want to demonstrate the logic behind the proof that I am questioning) Now the correct response would be to start with the...

Hey! (Mmm) I have to define an asymptotic upper and lower bound of the recursive relation $T(n)=3 T(\frac{n}{3}+5)+\frac{n}{2}$. Firstly,I solved the recursive relation: $T'(n)=3 T'(\frac{n}{3})+\frac{n}{2}$,using the master theorem: $$a=3 \leq 1, b=3>1, f(n)=\frac{n}{2} \text{ asymptotically...

I never heard of the CSHS Inequality until I read it in another thread. The other interesting item was this: I think an important part of that discussion is the more hits are ignored, the easier it is for local realistic theories to score over 2.00. So I just had to try. For those familiar...
