AI Thread Summary
The function t^(-1) + 2t^(-2) is expressed as 1/t + 2/t^2. The domain of this function includes all real numbers except for t = 0. At t = 0, the function is undefined due to division by zero. Therefore, the domain can be stated as all real numbers except zero. The discussion confirms that the function is defined for all other values of t.

Find the domain.

t^(-1) + 2t^(-2)

Let me see if I get it.

1/t + 2/t^(2)

Let D = domain

D = t is all real numbers except for 0.

yes because at t = 0 it is not defined and at all other t it is defined
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
