Square root Definition and 383 Threads

Hi, so I know how to find domain but how about range in this problem? I don't understand the way he did it? I always get answers wrong when it comes to range.

Many people have said that the noise that affects laser light is proportional to the square root of the illumination. But I can't find the formula. Can anyone help?

I am a bit confused, so if anyone can explain to me which way is right I would be very thankful. I think that the way in pic 1 is right because of the properties written next to the procedure but the professor who posts videos on youtube solved it the way as written in pic 2 where he didn't...

The correct answer is; ##\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{64}}=\dfrac{4}{8}## . I do not seem to understand why some go ahead to simplify ##\dfrac{4}{8}## and getting ##\dfrac{1}{2}## which is clearly wrong. I do not know if any of you are experiencing this... I guess more emphasis on my part. Cheers! Your...

I actually know one way to solve, ##x ^ 3 + 2 = 0## ##x ^ 3 + \left (\sqrt[3] 2\right) ^ 3 = 0## ##\left(x + \sqrt[3] 2\right) \left(x ^ 2 - x\sqrt[3] 2 + \left(\sqrt[3] 2 \right)^2\right) =0## ##x + \sqrt[3] 2 = 0, x = -\sqrt[3] 2## ##x ^ 2 - x\sqrt[3] 2 + \left(\sqrt[3] 2\right)^2 = 0, x =...

When you use the power rule to differentiate the square root, the result is 1/2(sqrt. x) which is undefined at 0. But, when you use the definition of the definition of the derivative to calculate it, the result is infinity. What causes this difference between these two methods?

Is it always true that the square root of an odd powered integer will always be irrational?

##\sqrt{3}## is irrational. The negation of the statement is that ##\sqrt{3}## is rational. ##\sqrt{3}## is rational if there exist nonzero integers ##a## and ##b## such that ##\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt 3##. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that every integer is representable uniquely as a...

Hey guys, I've about a week left to submit my final paper for my trade degree in transportation. The paper is about an analysis of potential implementation of an electric car for direct deliveries in my area where I live. In part of it, I try to analyze how many possible trips a car like...

Hi I was working on a physics problem and it was almost solved. Only the part that is mostly mathematical remains, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not solve it. I hope you can help me. This is the equation I came up with and I wanted to prove it: $$\lim_{n \rightarrow+ \infty} {...

In https://mathworld.wolfram.com/InnerProduct.html, it states "Every inner product space is a metric space. The metric is given by g(v,w)= <v-w,v-w>." In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_product_space , on the other hand, "As for every normed vector space, an inner product space is a metric...

My attempt: \begin{align} \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt{n^2 + n} - n &= n\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{n}} -n\\ &=n - n\\ &= 0\\ \end{align} I think the issue is at (1)-(2) For comparison, here is Rudin's solution

I have to solve a certain numerical problem without using calculator and furthermore, there is a time limit for solving this problem. The answer I have got so far is ## \sqrt{\frac{100}{99}}## I know I can reduce the numerator to 10 but then I am stuck with square root of denominator which is...

I ran into an interesting video on Youtube yesterday, about a fast way to compute the reciprocal of the square root of a number. I.e., to compute this function: ##f(x)= \frac 1 {\sqrt x}## The presenter is John Carmack. If you search for "Fast Inverse Square Root — A Quake III Algorithm" you'll...

I started out by rewriting the function as (f(x^2))^(1/2). I then did chain rule to get 1/2(f(x^2))^(-1/2) *(f'(x^2). - I think I need to go further because it is an x^2 in the function, but not sure.

This is a quote from "Calculus", by Robert A. Adams. It's a translation from spanish: "Roots of square numbers If ##a## is a positive real number, there exist two different real numbers whose square is ##a##. They are ##\sqrt{a}\;## (the positive square root of ##a##) ##-\sqrt{a}\;## (the...

Could it be said that since ##a=A(f(x))\sqrt{f(x)}##, with ##A(x)\in\{1,-1\}## then ##a^2=f(x)##,, that ##a## is the square root of ##f(x)## ? In other words could the sign of the root depend on the argument inside it ? Else it would have to be chosen by human free will and to be blocked for...

Let ##\varepsilon > 0## be arbitrary. Now define ##\delta = \text{min}\{\frac{a}{2}, \varepsilon \sqrt{a}\}##. Now since ##a>0##, we can deduce that ##\delta > 0##. Now assume the following $$ 0< |x-a| < \delta $$ From this, it follows that ##0 < |x-a| < \frac{a}{2} ## and ##0 < |x-a| <...

Quick question: In the proof that the square root of 2 is irrational, when we are arguing by contradiction, why are we allowed to assume that ##\displaystyle \frac{p}{q}## is in lowest terms? What if we assumed that they weren't in lowest terms, or what if we assumed that ##\operatorname{gcd}...
