Im just wondering what is the easiest way to deal with calculations where roots are involved? For example how do you solve this one? \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}Thank you for replies!

How can I find a primitive root modulo 169? I found the primitive roots mod 13 by testing 2, and then concluding that any 2^k with (k, 12)=1 would do. So that gave me 2, 6, 7 and 11. But modulo 13 I have no idea how to start.. I’m sure there’s a smarter way than trying 2^the orders that divide...

Hello MHB, I got one question. If I want to find basis ker and it got double root in eigenvalue but in that eigenvalue i find one eigenvector(/basis) what kind of decission can I make? Is it that if a eigenvalue got double root Then it Will ALWAYS have Two eigenvector(/basis)? Regards, |\pi\rangle

Here's my problems: How might you "rationalize the denominator" if the expression is \frac{1}{2+7√2+5√3} or \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1}? I know that in typical problems where we rationalize the denominator, we simply have to multiply the denominator and numerator by the conjugate of the denominator...

Find the real root of x^5+5x^3+5x-1

Hi, I know how to rationalize a denominator when it is a square root monomial or a square root binomial (through conjugation). For example, for a square-root monomial: 5/√25 = [5(√25)]/ [(√25)(√25)] = [5(√25)]/25 = (√25)/5 = 1 or -1and, for a square-root binomial: 5/(5 + √25) = 5(5 -...

How would you integrate it? \int \frac{d \varphi}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{a^2 b^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{(a \sin \varphi + b \sin (\alpha - \varphi))^2}}} I know that solving it numerically would probably be easier, but I would prefer a closed form solution in this case.
