AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the next term in the sequence "F4E, S9, ...". Participants express confusion over the meanings of "F4E" and "S9," with one suggesting that "F4E" might relate to base 16, while "S9" does not fit that pattern. The original poster notes that the problem is intended for a 12-year-old, implying it should be straightforward. Clarification on the full context of the problem is requested to aid in finding the solution. The conversation highlights the challenge of deciphering the sequence without additional information.

Hi I was wondering could some one give me some guidance with this:

F4E,S9,...

You have to write down the next term in the sequence.
Its probably very easy but its late and I can't see it.

Thanks for the help!

I have absolutely no idea what "F4E" and "S9" mean! "F4E" might possibly be a number in base 16 but "S9" couldn't be. Could you possibly state the entire problem?
 
Thats all that I was given

"F4E,S9,.."
Write down the consecutive term.edit: This problem was supposed to be for a 12 year old so there probably isn't anything complex in it.

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

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 '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 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

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...
