AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the length of segment AB where a line intersects a circle defined by the equations x=5cos(m) and y=5sin(m). A user initially derived the line's equation as y=-x but ended up with a length of 0, indicating a potential misunderstanding of the concepts involved. Other participants express confusion about the relevance of the given point and seek clarification on the question's specifics. The conversation highlights the need for a clearer understanding of the geometric relationships in the problem. Ultimately, the participants are looking for guidance to resolve the discrepancies in their calculations.

the question:
if a straight line c(-*81/2,-*81/2) making an angle 135 dge with x-axis,cuts the circle x=5cosm y=5sinm in points A and B ,find length of segment AB .
in the equation of line by solving i got y=-x
and tried to solve and ended up getting length of AB as 0 but the solution has done a different way and got different answer//probably i am using some wrong concepts..please help

hi anmolnanda! :smile:

(have a square-root: √ and a degree: ° :wink:)

i don't understand …

what does that point have to do with it? :confused:

what exactly is the question?​
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
