AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on combining the domain defined by the inequalities sqrt(x^2+y^2-1)>0 and 1<= x^2+y^2 <= 20. The first condition simplifies to 1 < x^2 + y^2, which leads to the combined requirement of 1 < x^2 + y^2 ≤ 20. This intersection clarifies the domain for further calculations. Participants express appreciation for the simplification, noting it will facilitate their work. Overall, the solution effectively merges the two inequalities into a single expression.

Im trying to combine this domain into something of the form a>b and b<c however I cannot seem to convert this equation :/

Is it possible to convert this domain into a single expression??

The domain is

sqrt(x^2+y^2-1)>0 and 1<= x^2+y^2 <= 20

any ideas?? I've encountered this problem many times and I am unsure as to how to solve this. Is there a general formula to apply?

The first condition:

$$\sqrt{x^2+y^2-1}>0$$

implies:

$$1<x^2+y^2$$

Because both conditions must be true (as implied by the "and" between them), we find the intersection of the implication of the first condition with the second condition, to find we require:

$$1<x^2+y^2\le 20$$

in order for both conditions to be satisfied.
 
Thanks this makes a lot of sense. Combining two like this makes a lot of sense. This will make all of my further calculations easier thank you :)
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
