AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on providing step-by-step solutions for a homework assignment related to trigonometry. Key points include identifying the trigonometric functions that relate opposite and adjacent sides, as well as the hypotenuse to the other sides. The Law of Sines is highlighted for solving triangles, along with specific calculations involving sine functions and triangle labeling. Additionally, the Law of Cosines is mentioned for finding unknown angles and sides in a triangle. The thread emphasizes the importance of showing work for clarity in solving these problems.

a) What trig function relates opposite and adjacent?
b) What trig function relates hypotenuse to either of the other sides? Theres two for this one.
c) Use the law of sines \frac{sin(a)}{A} = \frac{sin(b)}{B} = \frac{sin(c)}{C}[/tex]<br /> d) Label the point with the right triangle D. Then sin(10) = \frac{\overline{CD}}{14}. Do something similar to find AD, then sum AD and DC to find AC.<br /> e) Law of cosines. You have two angles, andyou knowthesum of all 3 is 180. Find the last angle, then apply the law of cosines.
 

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...
