AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on comparing two quantities, A and B, where A equals 120 and B equals 240, leading to the conclusion that Quantity B is greater. Participants agree that the question is easy, noting that the product of numbers in set P cannot exceed that of set Q, as P is a subset of Q. It is confirmed that Q contains at least two elements not present in P, specifically the numbers 1 and 2. The consensus is that Quantity B is greater than Quantity A. Overall, the relationship between the two quantities is clear and straightforward.

ok kinda catchy but I chose B
$A =10\cdot 12 =120,\quad B=1\cdot2\cdot10\cdot12=240$
$\begin{array}{ll}
A &\textit{ Quantity A is greater}\\
B &\textit{ Quantity B is greater}\\
C &\textit{ The 2 Quantities are equal}\\
D &\textit{The relationship cannot be determined}
\end{array}$}

how would you rate this Easy,Mediam,Hard?

typos??

You are right.

the question is easy.

The product of numbers that are in P that are in Q cannot be more than the product of numbers that are in Q.

this is so because the numbers in P that are in Q has to be be subset of numbers in Q.

Now does Q contain at least one element that is not in P yes . in fact 2 that is 1 and 2
 

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 Pythagorus'

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...
