AI Thread Summary
The value of 4⋄ is calculated by finding the product of all positive odd factors of 3 times 4, which equals 12. The positive odd factors of 12 are 1 and 3. Multiplying these factors together gives 1 x 3, resulting in a value of 3 for 4⋄. This calculation aligns with the example provided in the discussion. The explanation clarifies the method used to arrive at the solution.

y\diamond is defined for all positive integer values of y as the product of all positive odd factors of 3y. For example, 6\diamond= 1 x 3 x 9 = 27. What is the value of 4\diamond?


Answer: 3


I tried this question and i got it wrong. This question is on the Kaplan SAT Practice Test.
I want to know how they got the solution to this problem. Can you provide an explanation for this question?

Thank You for your time...

Devansh.


BTW, I do not know where to post this question, so I decided this would be the best place...

4\diamond would be the product of all positive odd factors of 3(4) = 12...which would be 1 x 3 = 3.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

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 '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...
