AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving that the expression \( A = \overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\underbrace{ 22-------2 }_{m} \) can be represented as the product of two consecutive integers, \( A = k \times (k + 1) \), where \( k \in \mathbb{N} \). The proof involves manipulating the expression for \( A \) into a form that reveals its factors, ultimately showing that \( A = (10^m - 1)(10^m + 2) / 9 \). This leads to the conclusion that both factors are multiples of 3 and differ by 3, allowing for the division by 9 to yield \( A = k(k + 1) \) with \( k = \frac{10^m - 1}{3} \). The discussion highlights the algebraic steps taken to arrive at this conclusion, confirming the relationship between \( A \) and consecutive integers. The proof is presented as a satisfying mathematical solution.

$A=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\underbrace{ 22-------2 }_{m}$

prove :$A=k\times (k+1),\,\, where\,\, k\in N$

(A can be expressed as the multiplication of two consecutive positive integers)

\displaystyle A=\frac{10^m-1}{9} \times 10^m +2 \times \frac{10^m-1}{9}

\displaystyle 9A=(10^m-1) \times 10^m +2 \times (10^m-1)

\displaystyle 9A=10^{2m} -10^m +2 \times 10^m-2

\displaystyle 9A=10^{2m} +10^m - 2

\displaystyle 9A=(10^m-1)(10^m +2)

Each factor on the right is a multiple of 3 and they differ by 3 so on dividing by 9 we get \displaystyle A=k(k+1) where \displaystyle k = \frac{10^m-1}{3} .

I nice start to my day, thank you :)
 
Hi MR

A nice solution (Clapping)

$A=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times 10^m+\underbrace{ 1-------1 }_{m}\times 2$
$=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (10^m+2)=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 99-------9 }^{m}+3)$
$=\overbrace{ 11-------1 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}\times 3+3)$
$=\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}\times (\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}+1)=k\times (k+1)$
($k=\overbrace{ 33-------3 }^{m}$)
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
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...
