In q(c) I calculated the distance using t= 4.25 S . I get S=-3.23×10^-3
I added 5.78m to this which is the distance between A and B, I get 5.78m. Is this the correct method to prove that the bird returns to A. Pls help

$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{12}\int_0^T 3t^3-16t^2-10t+60 \, dt = 0$

$T = \dfrac{\sqrt{1105}+5}{9} \approx 4.25$

in the attached graph of velocity vs time ...

shaded area above the x-axis = displacement from A to B

shaded area below the x-axis = displacement from B to A

the two shaded areas sum to zero, indicating a return to the starting point, A

Can you pls tell me how did you calculate that? Did you solve the cubic equation? I don't understand how you got the equation sq root (1105).
 
I integrated the velocity function and evaluated it from 0 to T and set the result equal to zero.

$\dfrac{T}{12}\left(\dfrac{3T^3}{4} - \dfrac{16T^2}{3} - 5T+ 60\right) = 0$

ignored the T/12 factor & multiplied the terms inside the parentheses by 12 to clear the fractions …

$9T^3 - 64T^2 -60T+720 = 0$

I graphed the cubic on my calculator and found T = 6 was a zero, then used synthetic division to find the quadratic factor …

$(T-6)(9T^2-10T-120) = 0$

$T = \dfrac{10 \pm \sqrt{4420}}{18}$

discarding the negative value for T …

$T = \dfrac{10+2\sqrt{1105}}{18} = \dfrac{5+\sqrt{1105}}{9}$

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...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
