AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the use of visual aids to present answers to a question, with multiple image links provided for both the question and the answer. A participant points out a mistake in the calculations, specifically noting that the product of A-1 and A should yield the identity matrix I, indicating an error in the process. The emphasis is on the importance of verifying calculations through visual checks. The conversation highlights the utility of images in illustrating mathematical solutions. Accurate verification is crucial in problem-solving to avoid errors.

You have obviously made a mistake somewhere, either in the inverse or in your check. When you multiplied A-1 by A, you should have gotten the identity matrix I, but you didn't. That should be a clue that you've done something wrong.

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
