AI Thread Summary
The equation x² + 2xsin(xy) + 1 = 0 can be analyzed by plotting y(x) against x, resulting in an arcsine shape. To solve for y, one can isolate sin(xy) and apply the arcsine function, though this restricts the permissible values of x. Identifying turning points, intercepts, and asymptotes is crucial for understanding the graph's behavior. Such functions often arise in the context of integrating factors in calculus. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of graphical analysis and algebraic manipulation in solving the equation.

You mean - what is the graph of the function?
http://www.learner.org/courses/teachingmath/grades9_12/session_05/index.html

the plot of y(x) vs x will be an arcsine. solve for y.
 
I mean what is the shape of the graph plotted for the given equation
 
well then: the plot of y(x) vs x will be an arcsine shape.

Are you having trouble solving for y?
(If so - make sin(xy) the subject and take the arcsine of both sides.)
... which kinda restricts allowed values of x doesn't it.

What you need are turning points, intercepts, and asymptotes - how would you normally find them?

note: this sort of function tends to come up in the context of integrating factors.

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...

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 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
