Intersection Definition and 688 Threads

The question is asking for the number of different solutions to the following two equations. $$y=\sin{x}$$ $$(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2$$ Solving these is complex for me due to one of the equations being a trigonometric function. If I substitute y from the first equation into the second equation...

If two seperate, coherent light beams were to intersect at a slight angle near the viewer, and then very rapidly made parallel,could the intersection point move away from the viewer in excess of the speed of light? If so, could that intersection point be made visible somehow,and how would the...

I've solved for the moment using the cross product where my r = 0i+0.06j+0.03k m and my F = 100i + 150j + 0k. I got my moment to be M= 4.5,3,-6. I know a wrench equivalent force must be parallel to the force (I am assuming this means the resultant force in this case), but how do I apply that...

Think of a 3D rectilinear grid made of these rectangular cells, some of the cells will intersect with the sphere. I am trying to compute each intersecting area and the total sum. Ideally the total sum of the intersecting area should be close to ##4 \pi r^2##. I have not found any literature...

Consider some ray ## \bar{r} ## that starts at point ## A=(a_x,a_y) ## and faces some direction and consider an upright square ( i.e. it's not rotated ) at some location: Question: if we let the ray continue until hitting the square, how can we detect which face of the square was hit? is there...

Let ##M## be a flat module over a commutative ring ##A##. Suppose ##X_1## and ##X_2## are submodules of an ##A##-module ##X##. Prove that ##(X_1 \cap X_2) \otimes_A M = (X_1 \otimes_A M) \cap (X_2 \otimes_A M)## as submodules of ##X\otimes_A M##.

For an upcoming presentation I am looking for a topic which covers both the field of oscillations/waves and particles in electromagnetic fields. Do you have any interesting ideas for a possible topic? Many thanks for your help in advance!

ooops...this was a bit tricky but anyway my approach; ... ##\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2x## therefore; ##\dfrac{y-7}{x+1}=-2x## and given that, ##y=4-x^2## then; ##4-x^2-7=-2x^2-2x## ##x^2+2x-3=0## it follows that, ##(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-5)## and ##(x_2,y_2)=(1,3)##. There may be another approach...

I parameterize surface A as: $$A = (2cos t, 0, 2sin t), t: 0 \rightarrow 2pi$$ Then I get y from surface B: $$y = 2 - x = 2 - 2cos t$$ $$r(t) = (2cost t, 2 - 2cos t, 2sin t)$$ Now I'm asked to integral over the surface, not solve the line integral. So I create a new function to cover the...

What I do is set the two equations equal to one another and solve for z. This gives: $$z = \sqrt{x^2+2y^2-4x}$$ which is a surface and not a curve. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I have a question about the following sentence and would appreciate if someone could explain how to read out the conditional probability here. "Each microwave produced at factory A is defective with probability 0.05". I understand the sentence as the intersection ##P(Defect \cap...

Let ##S## be a set of n geometric objects in the plane. The intersection graph of ##S## is a graph on ##n## vertices that correspond to the objects in ##S##. Two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding objects intersect. Show that the number of intersection graphs of...

I have a formula y=log(x)/log(0.9) which has this graph: I want to find the intersection of this curve and a tangent line illustrated in this rough approximation: The axes have very different scales, so the line isn't actually a slope of -1, it's just looks that way. How can I figure out: 1)...

Hello! Lately, I've been struggling with this assignment. (angle brackets represent closed interval) I figured out that: a) union = R intersection = {0} b) union = (0, 2) intersection = {1} I asked my prof about this and she explained to me that it should be shown that if a set is an...

Watching a court case on TV. This is the set up: Blue car at STOP sign, turning right onto 4-lane road. Red car on main road, but changes lanes in intersection. There is a collision. Who is at-fault? (Or who is more at fault?) I have always understood that it is illegal to change lanes in an...

I need to show the following thing: Given a collection of 5 rays (half-lines) in the plane, show that it can be partitioned into two disjoint sets such that the intersection of the convex hulls of these two sets is nonempty.

Given that one of the ##S_i## (let's name it ##S_{compact}##), is compact. Assume there is an open cover ##\mathcal V## of ##S_{compact}##. By definition of a compact subspace, there is a subcover ##\mathcal U## with ##n<\infty## open sets. Notice that ##\forall x\in (\bigcap_i S_i)##, ##x\in...

Hi, I found this question online and made an attempt and would be keen to see whether I am thinking about it in the right manner? Question: Find the probability of two line segment intersecting with each other. The end points of lines are informally sampled from an uniform distribution...

Since z=0, the only variable that counts is x. So the solution would be: $$\frac {f \left(a + \Delta\ x, b \right) - f(a,b)} {\left( \Delta\ x\right)}$$

Hey! :giggle: We consider the set $X=\mathbb{R}\cup \{\star\}$, i.e. $X$ consists of $\mathbb{R}$ and an additional point $\star$. We say that $U\subset X$ is open if: (a) For each point $x\in U\cap \mathbb{R}$ there exists an $\epsilon>0$ such that $(x-\epsilon, x+\epsilon)\subset U$...

Define a collection of open sets to be denoted as ##P_i##, ##1\leq i\leq N## where ##N\in \mathbb{Z}^+##. Let ##x\in\cap_{i=1}^N P_i##. By definition, ##x## must belong to every single ##P_i##. In particular, ##x\in P_1## and ##x\in P_2##. Since ##P_1## and ##P_2## are open, there exist...

I'm assuming the way to go about it is to integrate in spherical coordinates, but I have no idea what the bounds would be since the bottom edges of the square pyramid are some function of r, theta, and phi.

Is the intersection of a 4D line segment and a 3D polyhedron in 4D a point in 4D, if they at all intersect? Intuitively, it looks like so. But I am not sure about it and how to prove it.

Question 1: a) T' is the complementary event of T Therefore, T'=1-T In set T = {3,6,9,12} P(T)=4/12 =1/3 P(T')=1-1/3=2/3 b) The addition rule states; P(A ∪ B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A⋂B) Therefore, P(S ∪ E) = P(S)+P(E)-P(S⋂E) S={1,4,9} P(S)=3/12=1/4 E={2,4,6,8,10,12} P(E)=6/12=1/2 (S⋂E)={4} P(S⋂E)=1/12...

We have a circle (x^2 + y^2=2) and a parabola (x^2=y). We put x^2 = y in the circle equation and we get y^+y-2=0. We get two values of y as y=1 and y=-2. Y=1 gives us two intersection point i.e (1,1) and (-1,1). But y=-2 neither it lie on the circle nor on the parabola. The discriminant of the...

First I try to visualize it: w = Surface 1, is a spheroid w_2 = Surface 2 is a cone stretching up the z axisThen I calculate their gradients: $$∇w = (8x, 2y, 2z)$$ $$∇w_2 = (2x, 18y, 2z)$$ The points where they intersect at 90 degrees is when dot product is zero. $$∇w \cdot ∇w_2 = 0$$ $$16x^2 +...

Determine the polar coordinates of the two points at which the polar curves r=5sin(theta) and r=5cos(theta) intersect. Restrict your answers to r >= 0 and 0 <= theta < 2pi.

My Question : 1.Why are the inequalities considered? Why not simply use ##n(A\cap B) = n(A)+ n(B)-n(A\cup B)## to get ## n(A\cap B) = 39## ? 2. The way I interpret this is : If the set for people liking cheese was to be a subset of the set for people who like apples then the most number of...

It seems to me that for a set of loci of cardinality M having dimensions Di in a space of dimension N, aside from degenerate intersections (e.g., a pair of spheres that touch at a single point), the dimension of the net intersection locus L is: L = N - ∑ ( N - Di ) = ( ∑ Di ) - N ( M - 1 )...
