The discussion revolves around the challenges of solving partial differential equations and the importance of clarity in presenting problems. The initial post includes images of handwritten work, which complicates understanding and receiving feedback. Participants emphasize the need to specify which question is being addressed and to provide clearer, typed input using the forum's advanced editor. This lack of clarity is identified as a barrier to engagement and constructive responses. Clear communication is essential for effective assistance in mathematical problem-solving.

I am wondering if this is the right direction in solving this. any input would be great! Sorry for the messy handwriting!

Welcome to PF!

Well the first problem with your post is posting images.

And the second problem with your post is it show two questions and some work done on paper.

Which question are you trying to solve and what page goes with what question?

My suggestion is to follow our homework template and type in what you've got so people can see it more clearly.

We have an advanced input editor that can provide latex support for entering your formulas.

This is probably why no one has responded yet as its hard to point out where you went wrong from an image of your work.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
