AI Thread Summary
The expressions (2 + Log5 ÷ Log2) and (Log5 ÷ Log2 + 2) are equivalent, but clarity in notation is crucial. The confusion arises from the placement of parentheses, which can change the meaning of the expression. If the intention is to express (2 + Log5) ÷ Log2, then it differs significantly from the original expressions. Properly using brackets is essential to convey the correct mathematical relationships. Clear notation helps avoid misunderstandings in mathematical discussions.

From exactly how you have written it, it isn't. Are there any other brackets you may have omitted?

What you have written: 2+ \frac{log 5}{log 2} is not at all different from \frac{log 5}{log 2}+ 2.

If you mean \frac{2+ log 5}{log 2} then that is quite different. It is just that the way you are writing it is not clear whether you mean 2+ (log 5/log 2) or (2+ log 5)/log 2.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
