AI Thread Summary
In the city soccer tournament, Group A teams finished with Naranja leading with 7 points, followed by Bleu with 6 points, Midori with 3 points, and Gelb with 1 point. Each team played three matches, resulting in specific scores that align with their goals for and against. Naranja defeated Bleu 2-1, Midori 1-0, and tied with Gelb 1-1. Bleu won against Midori 2-0 and Gelb 2-0, while Midori secured a win against Gelb 1-0. The results reflect the points system where victories earned three points and ties earned one.

My daughter needs my help, and I am stumped. Here is the problem:

In the first round of the city soccer tournament, the teams in group A finished as follows:
Team------>Goals For------>Goals Against----->Points
Naranja---> 4--------------->2-------------------->7
Bleu------> 5---------------->2-------------------->6
Midori---->1----------------->3-------------------->3
Gelb------>1----------------->4-------------------->1

A victory earns three points, a tie one point, and a loss no points. Each team played the other three once. What were the scores of all the matches?

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...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

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...

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...
