Hey,

I have a couple of questions I've been doing online which have left me a little puzzled. The first one, I'm not really sure how to go about. I think a lot of that comes down to having not had a lot of experience with parametric forms.

I'll just post screenshots of where I'm up to on them, as they'll probably explain better where I'm up to.This is the one I'm having the most trouble with

This one, I've got most of the questions, but the last one is leaving me a little confused.

Any help would be amazing. Thanks :)

$$x-5=y-3=\dfrac{z}{2}=t$$. Use the equation of the plane to get $$t$$.

Parallel planes have the same attitude numbers. So $$2x-2y+2z=D$$. Use the point to get $$D$$.

Hey man, I appreciate the help. I guess I'm still not very familiar with this sort of stuff. Would you be able to expand on that a little? Cheers
 
$$x-5=t$$, so $$x=$$ ? Do the same for $$y$$ and $$z$$.
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
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...
