AI Thread Summary
Euler's nine-point circle is applicable to all types of triangles, including acute, obtuse, and isosceles triangles. The discussion highlights a project on the nine-point circle, where the user faced issues constructing it with specific triangle types. A referenced resource suggests that the nine-point circle can indeed be constructed with various triangles. The confusion may stem from incorrect drawing techniques. Overall, the nine-point circle is versatile and works with any triangle configuration.

I'm doing a project on the nine point circle and i need to know what type of triangle it works with. I tried constructing it but it didn't work with an isoscoles or a obtuse triangle, but a website said it works with all triangles, can anyone help?

The nine point circle works with general triangles. Maybe you're drawing something wrong.
 
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...
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...
