AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses solving induction and function problems in a French homework assignment. Exercise 1 involves proving points by induction, with point 3 derived from an inequality. Exercise 2 confirms that the symmetric difference is associative and commutative, allowing for cancellation. Exercise 3 suggests graphing the piecewise function f(x) and notes its even nature, while exercise 4 involves enumerating elements of set A and checking their membership in set B through a specific calculation. The forum also emphasizes the importance of following posting guidelines for future inquiries.

Welcome to the forum.

In exercise 1 points 1) and 2) are proved by induction on $n$. Point 3 follows from 2) by solving the inequality $$\frac{1}{2^{1+n/2}}<\frac{1}{200}$$.

In exercise 2, point 1) the answer is yes because symmetric difference is associative, commutative and has the property $$A\triangle A=\emptyset$$. So the effect of taking a symmetric difference with $A$ can be canceled.

In exercise 3 you can draw the graph of $f$ on Desmos. In fact, it is easy to draw the graph by hand because $$f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2+x,&x\ge0\\x^2-x,&x<0\end{cases}$$. It is also clear that $f(x)$ is even, i.e., $f(-x)=f(x)$, so it is sufficient to study $f(x)$ for $x\ge0$.

If $g(x)$ is the restriction of $f(x)$ to $\mathbb{R}^+$, then it is clear from the graph that $g$ is a bijection from $\mathbb{R}^+$ to $\mathbb{R}^+$. The inverse $g^{-1}(y)$ is found by solving the equation $x^2+x=y$ for $x$.

In exercise 4 the elements of $A$ can be easily enumerated: $A=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ (if $\mathbb{N}$ starts from 1). To find if any of them also belong to $B$ we can compute $$\frac{n^2-16}{n-2}$$ for these $n# to see if the result is an integer.

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...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
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...
