    Area Curve Regular
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving a mathematical statement regarding a simple regular curve C that encloses a region R with area k. The proof utilizes Green's theorem to establish that the integral of a specific linear combination of x and y over the curve equals (b1 - a2) multiplied by the area k. The calculation involves applying the theorem to relate the line integral to a double integral over the region R. The conclusion confirms that the expression holds true, demonstrating the relationship between the constants and the area. This proof effectively illustrates the application of Green's theorem in geometric contexts.

I quote a question from Yahoo! Answers

If C is a simple regular curve that encloses a region R of area k. Prove that if ai, bi are constants
∫(c) [a1x + a2y + a3, b1x + b2y + b3]dα = (b1 - a2)k. thanks

I have given a link to the topic there so the OP can see my response.

Using the Green's theorem: $$\int_C(a_1x+a_2y+a_3,b_1x+b_2y+b_3)d\alpha=\iint_R\left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\right)dxdy\\=\iint_R(b_1-a_2)dxdy=(b_1-a_2)\iint_Rdxdy=(b_1-a_2)k$$
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

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...

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...
