AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the proper way to seek help with mathematical problems, specifically regarding the Cobb-Douglas production function Q = AL^α K^β. A user is criticized for simply posting a problem without attempting a solution or engaging in the discussion. The importance of demonstrating effort and seeking guidance collaboratively is emphasized, contrasting it with another user who successfully received help after showing initiative. The conversation encourages a more interactive approach to problem-solving in academic forums. Engaging actively in discussions is vital for effective learning and assistance.

Hello, welcome here.

Sorry for being a bit acidic today, but I don't think this is a nice way to post problems. Essentially, you a "dumping" your problem here (which seems to be from a take-home exam or a graded problem set) and then, without any further comment or attempt at a solution, expect others to solve it for you.

Yesterday I saw in passing that another new user posted a problem. It it https://mathhelpboards.com/differential-equations-17/mixing-common-drain-page-537-46-fundamentals-differential-equations-bvp-nagle-24231.html. Can you see the difference? (I am not talking about the mathematical content.) He then received help, continued to think along, and got his result verified. I think that's very nice.

So, for your case, starting with (a), what did you try and what difficulties are you facing?

Best wishes,

Sebastiaan.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
