AI Thread Summary
Earnings for a 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off schedule depend on the shift pay structure. If the brother earns $1,400 per shift, clarification is needed on what constitutes a "shift" and whether he follows the same schedule. The calculation of $182,000 assumes a standard 5-day work week over 26 weeks, which may not apply if shifts are defined differently. The discussion raises questions about the actual hourly rate, suggesting that $1,400 for a single shift may not align with typical hourly wages. Clear definitions of work hours and pay are essential for accurate earnings estimates.

If I work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off, how much will I earn? My brother will be earning 1400 every shift, so would my brother earn $1,400 per shift x 5 days per week x 26 weeks per year = $182,000?

Will you be paid the same shift salary as your brother? Does your brother follow the 4 week on/off schedule, also?

\$1400 per shift? Really?
 
What do you mean by a "shift"? I would normally interpret a "shift" to be a standard 8 hour day but \$1400 seems a bit much for 8 hours! (\$175 an hour!)

If a "shift" is the "four weeks on" then that would be 4(7)(8)= 224 hours. \$1400/224= \$6.25 per hour, a bit more reasonable.

But it is very confusing for you to ask about your earnings but only tell us about your brother's salary!
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
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...
