For [math]1+10n[/math] to be prime [math]n[/math] must be a power of a 2 since if [math]n[/math] is odd you can show the number is composite. This makes it similar to Fermat numbers, and the question of whether there are an infinite number of Fermat primes is still an open question.

Can someone of you plant nerds explain to me how the battlefields in Eastern Ukraine aren't completely overgrown fields of heath by now? Posting pic is pointless, they just look like regular agricultural fields off season.
They haven't been sown and harvested in 2.5 years.
They also aren't like mowed or anything, because they often are mined or targeted. In fact, it's a death trap to even move on them, which is why all advancing occurs along tree lines.
Yet despite no human setting foot on them since early 2022, they look freshly mowed.

Just the way you do it for functions of a single variable. Here's a sketch. Write [math]\left |\frac{y}{2x-y} - \frac{1}{5} \right | = \frac{2}{5} \left |\frac{3y-x}{2x-y} \right |[/math]. Note how you can easily upper bound the numerator using the triangle inequality (I'll leave those details to you). It remains to lower bound the denominator. Intuitively, if [math](x,y)[/math] is "close" to [math](3,1)[/math] then the expression [math]|2x-y|[/math] is "close" to [math]5[/math]. Concretely, suppose [math]|x-3|^2 + |y-1|^2 < \frac{1}{4}[/math], say. Then in particular [math]\max\{|x-3|, |y-1|\} < \frac{1}{2}[/math] which implies [math]x > \frac{5}{2}[/math] and [math]\frac{1}{2} < y < \frac{3}{2}[/math]. By the so-called "reverse" triangle inequality we get [math]|2x-y| \ge |2x| - |y| = 2x - y > \frac{7}{2}[/math]. Take it from here.

You didn't but, sorry anyways, I didn't know you were this retarded. You see, said proof gives you an algorithm to prove any limit of that form; if your brain is so small you can't prove it by yourself, then you can follow the steps given by the proof to get to the desired result from the definition.

Start with an S-sided dice, S being some positive integer. When you roll the dice, the digit you get determines which sided dice you are rolling next. So for example, if you start with 10-sided dice and roll a seven, you roll a seven-sided dice next and repeat the same idea.

I believe they mean N is the turn / number of rolls. So on the N'th roll, the probability would be 1 / S, where S = S(N). The question seems to be more about how S can change with N rather than the final roll.

If this is what OP meant, you can manually do it with a sort of Pascal's triangle-esque method. Call this one, a cumulative Pascal's rectangle.

Let the S columns of the rectangle represent S, S-1, S-2, ..., 1 from left to right. The rows from top to bottom represent the rolls from n=0 up to row n=N . Let the first row begin with a single one the rest of the S-1 columns be 0. So, let's say S = 7, then row n=0 is [1 0 0 0 0 0 0]. The next row n=1 is then to be the cumulative sum of the n=0 row, which in the example S=7 is [1 1 1 1 1 1 1], and the row after that n=2 is [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]. The row after that is [1 3 6 10 15 21 28] But hold up! Turn it diagonally, this is just Pascal's triangle! You probably could've seen this coming if you know the cumulative aspect of the pascal's triangle.

This rectangle though gives a clear answer though. The number of ways to roll a 1 at whatever n is the final column, which was 0, 1, 7, 28, etc. The total ways to roll is the sum of each row.

There's almost def a closed form for this stuff using binomials and wtv, but I already did most of the work, so finish the rest. The point is if you think of it like a multiverse thing, each action spawns multiple possible futures, whose actions spawn other futures for each successive row. But it's simple enough to just be pascal's triangle.

Anonymous No. 16399130

>>16399092
the sum of the coefficients are also a binomial on Pascal's Triangle, so assuming this is right the answer is one binomial divided by another, or (a Choose b) / (c Choose d)

L1 and L2 are the tangent lines to C1 and C2 at z respectively. I want to show that the circles intersect at the same angle at z*. How do I do that?

Anonymous No. 16400214

>>16400186
Letting c1 denote the centre of C1, we know that all points on C1 are the same distance from c1 (by the definition of a circle) - including the lengths from c1 to z and the length from c1 to z*.
The same applies to C2, denoting its centre as c2 similarly.
Furthermore, the distance from c1 to c2 is obviously constant.

So the length from c1 to z is the same as the length from c1 to z*. The length from z to c2 is the same as the length from z* to c2. And the length from c2 to c1 is obviously the same as itself.
The two triangles, having identical side lengths to each other, must be congruent, with congruent angles to match

Working off that what you said though, I think I could draw this green triangle and use similar arguments to draw that purple triangle (which would be similar), but I don't know how to show that the two purple lines in that triangle are actually the tangent lines to C1 and C2 at z*.

It's just a visual representation of the action of taking a cross product of two vectors. As for why right-handed, that's just convention.

>It is clearly not symmetrical
thats called parity violation, and sometimes that happens in physics. we resolve it by bundling spacial dimensions with charge and/or time, which creates a stronger symmetry that hasnt been violated (yet). see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPT_symmetry
that being said, the Lorentz force does not violate party (nor does any of classical EM); your pic actually is symmetrical, confusingly enough. you use the right-hand rule to find the magnetic (Lorentz) force, but you also use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field in the first place; in the integral form of Ampere's law, the direction of the closed-looped integral on the left side of the equation is (arbitrarily) determined using the RHR. you could use the LHR if you wanted to, which would cause the sign of the B field to flip, which would then cancel out the fact that you *also* must now use the LHR for the Lorentz force, and your thumb would still point in the same direction even though you used LHR instead of RHR. all the math works out the same. it doesnt look symmetric, but it is.

SU(2) is all 2x2 unitary matrices. SL(2,C) is the same but also includes 2x2 hermitian matrices. Those unitary matrices are for rotations, and the hermitian matrices are for boosts.

>Horizontal line multiplied vertical line equals square mile
Am I correct or being stupid?

Ah, sorry, should have clarified, I have a worldographer hexagon map that has a perimeter of 1200/600 horinzontal/vertical and each hexagon has 6 square miles. I want the total amount of sqaure miles, but so far I´ve gotten 3 different results with my math and I got no clue which is the correct way. It´s been a decade since I´ve done any sort of serious math

Any area represented by square miles is telling you how many squares with side length of one mile fits inside that area. So you simply count how many squares fit.

So I go with 600 multiplied by 1200 and multiply it again by 6? That would be then 360000 square miles if I´m correct?

what units are those in? can you provide a picture/sketch?

I know perpetual motion is impossible but I can't simply say where the error is. Plus this case has the supposition the compound is made out of things in the ocean like oxygen or sodium. Does reactions are harder under more pressure?

That's your answer. Ask yourself what is replacing that energy over each cycle.

What do they mean by "geocentric energy"? How is that defined?

I can't find a good link, only this page from a textbook. Basically it's the energy of the system if you shift the frame of reference to be the center of mass of the two bodies. If E < 0 then it's a bound state (orbit is achieved), if E > 0 then they fly apart.

Thanks Satan! But how does the mini-moon achieve negative geocentric energy? Is this energy temporarily borrowed by Earth in the form of kinetic energy and then kicked back later?

Anonymous No. 16404693

>>16404692
Yes. It's a combination of kinetic and (gravitational) potential energy. So if the object gains some energy the Earth has to lose some.

Yeah the energy could be outsourced from any other place,however the depth and therefore the distance and energy can be increased ,for example imagine that to create 1kg you waste 100J but I have the machine at 1000m of depth you could generate 9700J of energy.
>>16404694
It's perpetual because it produces more energy than the system is introduced,energy always is always lesser than the original input when harvesting it.

That's not perpetual. I burn wood to power a turbine. When the wood's gone the turbine stops. That's not even remotely perpetual
