ray $\overline{PK}$ bisects the meausre of
$\angle{LPM}$ is $11x^o$ and the measure of $\angle{LPK}$ is $(4x+18)^o$
What is the measure of $\angle{KPM}$

a. $12^o\quad$ b, $28\dfrac{2}{7}^o\quad$ c. $42^o\quad$ d. $61\dfrac{1}{5}^o\quad$ e. $66^o$

ok I think this could be done by observation but that can be a little deceptive
so my eq to solve it was
$2(4x^o+18)=11x^o$
hopefully:unsure:

edit correct the eq

Surely you mean 2(4x + 18) = 11x...

$2(4x+18)=11x$
$8x+36=11x$
$36=3x$
$12=x$

$\angle{LPK}$ is $(4(12)+18)^o=(48+18)^o=66^o$ which is e

the little “o” that looks like an exponent is just the degree symbol

it might be easier to drop the degree sign when taking steps
but what does x equal?
 
the steps to solve this was on the internet but everyone wanted a cc before they would show it.

I really appreciate the help I get here at MHB
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
