Addition Definition and 651 Threads

Hi, I'm struggling to figure out how to do integration with forms such as: ∫ x/(x+1) dx ∫ x/(x+1)^2 dx ∫(b-x)^2/(b-a) dx This last one especially is giving me a strange issue, where if I plug it into wolfram: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+(b+-+x)%5E2+%2F(b-a)++dx It shows...

I am computing limit of detection of zinc of an electrolyte. Using standard additions method, I have obtained positive x intercepts for 6/8 samples all very close to zero. Positive x-intercepts imply final concentration values to be negative. if x-intercept taken to be zero, the concentration...

I have some issues understanding the following thought experiment: Suppose you are standing still, and two balls are moving towards you from opposite direction. From your own reference frame, Ball A is ##10^5## m away from you, moving towards you from the left with speed ##0.8c##, and Ball B is...

Ok, so here's another example Morin did in his book: Ok, so the thing that confuses me is when he used the velocity addition equation: Note:4c/5 and 3c/5 are their speeds relative to the ground. Where v2 is the velocity of the S' frame, and v1 is the velocity of the object moving in the...

How can one define addition using peanos axioms? Number, successor, zero are terms which we presume to know the meaning of. We then use five propositions: 1. 0 is a number. 2. Every number has a successor. 3. 0 is not the successor of any number. 4. Any proeprty common to zero and its...

Really basic question: a particle, moving at speed u (u is fast enough for relativistic effects) with rest mass m0 collides with a stationary particle with rest mass m0. They coalesce to form a new particle of mass M (observer fame, not rest mass M) and move at speed v. find v in terms of y (y...

Dear PF Forum, I've been wondering about this thing. The universe's radius is 46 gly. But a galaxy in 13.8 gly from us cannot be seen because it travels faster than the speed of light. So is there a galaxy in, say, 30 billions light years away from us? But before that, I'd like to know about...

Hello! (Wave) According to some notes of computability theory: Addition of binary numbers $$10011\\ +11111 \\ ------ \\ 110010$$ I haven't understood how they do the addition, since it holds that $1+1=0$... (Sweating) Could you explain it to me?

Does he make a mistake at 6:18? In case of associativity. When doing a+(b+c) he's just placing the tip of a to the tail of (b+c), but shouldn't he have added the tail of a to the tip of (b+c) ending in a different point? I understand vector addition is associative, but I think how he did it is...

Acording to this diagram vector P = vector BC and vector Q = vector OB(their magnitudes are also respectively equal.) Therefore acoording to the congruency of triangles angle alpha = (theta)/2. But this is not right( what's wrong ) {Tan(alpha) = Qsin(theta)/(P + Qcos(thets)) ] Why resultant...

why addition of two vectors are represented by this diagram, why the sum of two vectors are between both the vectors. Does it takes the idea of hitting a ball , if we hit a ball to its left side it goes right side and when hitted to its right side it goes left side and when we hit...

I ran across this years ago. It’s defined by the addition rule: a/b + c/d = (a+c)/(b+d) (Sounds crazy – until you think of x/y as meaning There’s a pile of x things on one side, and one of y things on the other.) Applying it in almost a Pascal's Triangle sort of way generates ... er, a...

Adding silica gel or alumina to the mixture of the alkene and HCl or HBr in CH2Cl2 increases the rate of addition dramatically but WHY ? and why is CH2Cl2 specifically used ?

We all know that arithmetic addition arose not out of some axiomatic system, but out of the natural tendency to combine similar objects. I am satisfied with typical addition being loosely defined in this way. But when it comes to addition with other objects, like vectors, I am little bit...
