MHB Finding conditions for which an inequality holds

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the inequality P - QR^3 < R^4/C for positive values of C, P, Q, and R. It is pointed out that the inequality does not hold universally, providing a counterexample with specific values: P=1000, Q=2, R=3, and C=10000. The counterexample demonstrates that the inequality can be false under certain conditions. Participants are encouraged to explore the conditions under which the inequality might hold true. The conversation emphasizes the need for careful consideration of variable values in algebraic inequalities.

Hello,
I do not know if this is the right place to post this question, but I believe it falls under algebra. Please redirect me if appropriate.

Question:

How can I show that $$P-QR^3<\frac{R^4}{C}$$ for $$C,P,Q,R > 0?$$

Thanks.

That statement is not true in general.
Consider $P=1000$, $Q=2$, $R=3$, $C=10000$, the inequality would be false.
 

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...
