uhh, how would we get a better way?

Here is a problem I am working on: Using the Rule of Sarrus: $$\begin{vmatrix} x & y & z \\ z & x & y \\ y & z & x \\ \end{vmatrix} =x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz,$$ find $x, y, z$ such that $x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz = 315.$ And here is what I have gotten so far: By row and column operations and by factoring out...

Determine all three real numbers $a, \,b$ and $c$ which satisfies the conditions $a^2+ b^2+ c^2= 26$, $a + b = 5$ and $b + c\ge 7.$

Hi PF! I have a .txt file with spaces and letters, along with numbers. It looks something like this: 12.0 42.0 21.0 32.0 ICF-8-1 23.0 24.0 46.0 600.0 Additionally, the first two sets of numbers each represent a coordinate pair. Then the first coordinate is (12,42) and the second is...

I'm having trouble figuring out to get the answers from the 2 equations. The phasors and complex numbers confuse me. Do I need to change the phasor form? How do I go about doing this thanks! (Not homework question I am trying to figure this for my exam!)

Why √[(-a).(-b)] can't be written as √(-a).√(-b) Is it only because complex number do not work for this statement. Just like here: √ab = √[(-a).(-b)] = √a√bi^2 = -√ab which is wrong. We can separate √(-4)(9) = √-36 = 6i , √4i.√9 =6i, but why can't we separate for two negative numbers inside...

I have been reading about Landau levels for a two-dimensional system of charged particles in a perpendicular magnetic field and I have trouble understanding why there is degeneracy in the system. Let me provide some background to my problem. In the presence of a magnetic field, the momentum of a...

What does the N^2 mean in this case? (Image below) Does it mean, for all two pairs of natural numbers, a and b? How would I represent non pair numbers, i.e. how would I write "For integers k,l, and m such that k>1, l>2, m>k+l" all in one line?

I am a physics student trying to self-learn Chern numbers and Chern class. The book I am learning (Nakahara) introduces the total Chern class as an invariant polynomial of local curvature form ##F## ## P(F) = \det (I + t\frac{{iF}}{{2\pi }}) = \sum\limits_{r = 0}^k {{t^r}{P_r}(F)} ## and each...

I've just had my first batch of lectures on complex numbers (a very new idea to me). Algebraic operations and the idea behind conjugates are straightforward enough, as these seem to boil down to vectors. My problem is sketching. I have trouble defining the real and imaginary parts, and I don't...

Ask the user for a number between 1 and 11; stop asking when the user enters 0 OR when the total goes over 21. Display the total on the screen. For example: #include<iostream> #include<cmath> using namespace std; int main(){ int num, total; cout << "Enter a number between 1 and 11...

Why is it that the distance between two real numbers ##a## and ##b## in an ordered interval of numbers, for example ##a<x_{1}<\ldots <x_{n-1}<b##, is given by $$\lvert a-b\rvert$$ when there are in actual fact $$\lvert a-b\rvert +1$$ numbers within this range?! Is it simply that, when measuring...

I have just begun reading about Einstein's summation convention and it got me thinking.. Is it possible to represent ∑aibici with index notation? Since we are only restricted to use an index twice at most I don't think it's possible to construct it using the standard tensors (Levi Cevita and...

Hello everyone. I wanted to prove the following theorem, using the axioms of Peano. Let ##a,b,c \in \mathbb{N}##. If ##ac = bc##, then ##a = b##. I thought, this was a pretty straightforward proof, but I think I might be doing something wrong. Proof: Let ##G := \{c \in \mathbb{N}|## if ##a,b...

let equation 1: x % n1 = 0, equation 2: x % n2 =1, where n1 and n2 are known positive integers, any multiple of n1 will solve eqn1 and any multiple of n2 (and adding 1 to the multiple) will solve eqn2, but is there a short way to simultaneously solve the two equations to find x instead of...

Hello I'm hard at work trying to find a pattern for the prime numbers and this keeps cropping up. To be honest though, to me it comes across like pseudo science. I mean I never really hear people talk about it. This seems an obvious thing to look into but I don't know anyone who does. Prime...

I know that there are several models of the real numbers, some where the Continuum Hypothesis holds, others where it does not. I would like to understand why the usual definition of the reals, limits of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers under the usual absolute value norm, isn't one of these...

If the axiom of induction was extended to include imaginary numbers, what effect would this have? The axiom of induction currently only applies to integers. If this axiom and/or the well ordering principle was extended to include imaginary numbers, would this cause any currently true statements...

Hi all, I have spent a couple of hours on this perplexing question. Solve the simultaneous equations: z = w + 3i + 2 and z2 - iw + 5 - 2i = 0 giving z and w in the form (x + yi) where x and y are real. I tried various methods, all to no avail. I have substituted z into z2 , I got the wrong...

Mod note: moved from a homework section What properties do prime numbers exhibit which can be used in proofs to define them? Like rational numbers have a unique property that they can be expressed as a quotient of a/b. Even numbers have a unique property of divisibility by 2 and thus they can be...

Is there any prime number pn, such that it has a relationship with the next prime number pn+1 p_{n+1} > p_{n}^2 If not, is there any proof saying a prime like this does not exist? I have the exact same question about this relation: p_{n+1} > 2p_{n}

If I have 2 complex numbers, A and B, what is the correct way to evaluate this expression: ## E = AB - B^*A^*## I was under the impression that when taking the product of complex numbers, you always conjugate one factor, but in this instance, it is quite important which one is conjugated, no...

Show that in 10 consecutive numbers there is at least one number which is co-prime to other 9 numbers.

We should note that we can write any complex number as $\displaystyle \begin{align*} z = r\,\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\,\theta} \end{align*}$ where $\displaystyle \begin{align*} r = \left| z \right| \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \theta = \textrm{arg}\,\left( z \right) + 2\,\pi\,n ...

Hi, When I using Matlab 2008, the symbols and numbers were big enough to see but now I use Matlab 2013 but symbols and numbers or what I write is too little. How can I make them bigger? Thank you.

I am using complex numbers and was wondering if there's any way that I can get output to match my exact input when performing basic arithmetic on them. For example, if I use type = complex_ or complex256, with A = 1. and B = 6.626 x 10^(-34), then C = A*B yields C = 6.626 x 10^(-34) as wanted...

First let's write this number in its polar form. $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \left| z \right| &= \sqrt{\left( -2 \right) ^2 + 2^2} \\ &= \sqrt{4 + 4} \\ &= \sqrt{8} \\ &= 2\,\sqrt{2} \end{align*}$ and as the number is in Quadrant 2 $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \textrm{arg}\,\left( z...
