    Angles Inscribed
AI Thread Summary
Identifying inscribed angles can be challenging, even with knowledge of the relevant theorem. A suggested method involves sketching lines from the center of the circle to the points where the inscribed figure intersects the circle. This visual representation may clarify the relationships between the angles and the arcs they subtend. Understanding how these angles relate to the circle's geometry is essential for accurate identification. Applying these techniques can enhance comprehension of inscribed angles.

I've been having trouble identifying these inscribed angles for a while. I know the theorem that goes with this topic but I'm unsure how it applies :c.

Sketch lines out from the centre of the circle to where the points of the inscribed figure meet the circle. Does that help?

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 '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 '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...
