AI Thread Summary
To solve for integers A and B using the points (4,1) and (-5,-3) in the equation Ax + By = 7, two equations are derived: 4A + B = 7 and -5A - 3B = 7. These equations can be solved using methods such as substitution or elimination. The suggestion to use a matrix and row reduction is also mentioned as a viable approach. The discussion emphasizes that with two equations and two unknowns, the problem is straightforward. Understanding the concepts from a linear algebra textbook can aid in finding the solution.

Find integers A and B such that (4,1) and (-5,-3) are solitions to Ax + By = 7
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Plug them into x and y to get:

4A + B = 7

and

-5A + -3B = 7

And solve :smile:
 
try putting the coefficients and answers into a matrix and Row reduce...

oh... sorry, just finished a semester in Linear Algebra :-)

but really... you have 2 equations that are equal to each other ad 2 unknowns... that is easy to solve just read the math book you have (I know, I know who reads a math book :-D )
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
