MHB What is the Greek Notation in Tangent Transformations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the Greek notation used in tangent transformations, specifically in the context of periodic functions. The equations presented illustrate how to express a tangent function in terms of amplitude (A), phase shift (PS), and period (T). The transformation parameters are defined, with T being the period calculated as T = φ/ω, and PS representing the phase shift. An example is provided with specific values, demonstrating the application of the notation. The inquiry about the use of Greek notation suggests a need for clarification on its significance in mathematical expressions.

$\textsf{got ? on the Greek notation. if Period = T}$
\begin{align}
\displaystyle
Y_{tan}&=A\tan\left[\omega\left(x-\frac{\phi}{\omega} \right) \right]+B
\implies A\tan\left(\omega x-\phi \right)+B \\
T&=\left(\frac{\phi}{\omega}\right) \\
PS&=\phi
\end{align}
$\textsf{so on:}$
\begin{align}
\displaystyle
Y_{49}&=1+\frac{1}{2}\tan\left({2x-\frac{\pi}{4}}\right) \\
T&=\frac{\pi}{2} \\
PS&=\frac{\pi}{4}
\end{align} $\textsf{not sure on this one} $
:cool:

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...
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.
