    Sets Trig
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around solving three challenging math problems, including one related to sets and two involving trigonometry. Participants express frustration with the complexity of the first problem and seek assistance from others. A suggestion is made to rewrite the trigonometric expressions using double angle formulas to simplify the equation sin(3x)/(1 + cos(3x)) = tan(3x/2). The conversation highlights the difficulty in finding the correct mathematical symbols and the desire to test new tools for solving these problems. Overall, the thread emphasizes collaboration in tackling tricky math questions.

Hi, I just have three question and I'm wondering how to solve them.

The first one is a sets question and it is literally infuriating trying to even contemplate it. I've asked many other people how to solve and no one knows how. I was hoping there would be a few geniuses that solve it here

The other 2 are just trig questions. I have a feeling at the back of my head that I knew how to solve them, but that's it.

Hi guynoone! :smile:

Why couldn't you just type them out? :confused:

To show that sin3x/(1 + cos3x) = tyan(3x/2), just write sin3x and cos3x in terms of functons of 3x/2. :smile:

I hate looking for the correct symbols. I also wanted to test out the new scanner :)

Sorry, my mind's a bit fuzzy. What happens to that +1 then?
 
Why don't you try what he suggested and then see what happens?
sin(3x)= sin(2(3x/2) and cos(3x)= cos(2(3x/2) so tiny-tim is suggesting you use the double angle formulas.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
