To find m<2 when m<1 and m<2 are given as vertical angles, set the equations equal: 17x + 1 = 20x - 14. Solving for x yields x = 5. Substituting x back into either angle's equation, m<1 or m<2, results in m<2 = 101. Therefore, the measure of angle 2 is 101 degrees.

<1 and <2 are vertical angles. If m<1 = 17x + 1 and m<2 = 20x - 14, find m<2.

As vertical angles have the same measure, set 17x + 1 = 20x - 14, solve for x and substitute that value for x into the expression for angle 2 (or angle 1 if you prefer; they both have the same measure). The result is the desired measure.

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...
