Is there a strictly increasing and strictly concave real-valued function defined over the entire real line? I am looking for a real-valued function $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the following properties: Strictly increasing: $f(x_1) < f(x_2)$ for all $x_1 < x_2$. Strictly concav...

Solids of revolution are typically taught in Calculus II for most undergraduate students or in AP Calculus BC for most high school students. However, it seems to me that this topic is far more appropriate for Calculus III (Multivariable Calculus) than for Calculus II. Using cylindrical coordinate...

Let $ \omega=e^{2 \pi/3} $ be a primitive third root of unity. And let $ \phi= \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} $ be the golden ratio. The ring of integers $ \mathbb{Z}[\omega] $, called the Eisenstein integers, has class number 1 (it is a Euclidean domain and thus a PID). The ring of integers $ \mathbb{Z}[\...

I suppose this question has been asked many times. I have been told that an elementary particle is a (moving) point, or (a section from) some field, or an excitation from some field. But now, I am told that a particle IS (from the verb "to be") an irreducible representation of the Poincaré or the...

In my last question If physics can be reduced to mathematics (and thus to logic), does this mean that (physical) causation is ultimately reducible to implication?, I entertained the notion that physics might be reducible to mathematics.

I remember playing a game, similar to Vestaria Saga, both in gameplay and style. The story is typical isekai, where main hero gets transported to another world with his sister to aid a king in a war.

I cannot find the fault in this proof which seems to prove that there does exist a bijection from the set of all subsets of $\mathbb N$ to the set of $\mathbb N$. For some subset, say $K$, we define $f(K)$ to be the product of all $p_{i} \forall i \in K$. Ex: for the subset $\{1,2,4\}$, its funct...

I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The AC stopped working. When the AC is on full blast the AC compressor doesn't spin. When the car is powered off the clutch on the compressor spins freely.

IBM PC power supplies have output voltages of +5V, -5V, +12V, and -12V. Among these, -5V and -12V are not commonly used in modern systems. I am testing an old AT power supply with a multimeter, and while the +5V and +12V outputs are normal, the -5V and -12V outputs are about 20% lower than expect...

I'm wondering, if it had entered on a trajectory that had caused it to fly by Jupiter, for example, in just the right way, could it have been captured by our Solar System? Or, was it simply moving too fast for that to have ever been a possibility? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua

A basic model for a resistor is a conductor with ions and sea of electrons. If a current is flowing through this resistor, then an electric field must be present inside it. If the left hand side of the conductor at a high potential and the right hand side at lower potential the electric field wil...

Opportunity attacks seem great. "Free" damage for someone moving away? Allowing "tanky" characters to punish people running by them?

As NASA announced today, Boeing Starliner will return to earth uncrewed and before SpaceX Crew-9 will start (because otherwise no docking port would be available).

Question: Given all controlled-SWAP (CSWAP) and Hadamard (H) gates on 3 qubits, is it possible to approximately compile the Toffoli (CCX) gate?

I got this pricing from Apple's website. It says $1449$ or $65.52$ per mo for 24 months at 7.99% APR. Following the example from Mathematics of Investment and Credit (7th Ed), section 1.4 (Nominal interest rates) I got: $\frac{7.99}{12} = 0.666$ And assuming compounding, we have $1449*(1 + 0.006...

戸惑う心を置き去りに、足は母さんの元まで、走っていく。 みんなを振り向きながら、手が勝手に、ひらひらと振られた。 "As I turned my face toward everyone, my hand waved on its own." I don't think it's saying it like the characters is having other people wave at him? But it's his own action? Why is passive used?

John 6:34-36 (NKJV) Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. In what way does Je...

This seems like it must be a terrible oversight: if you sudo apt install emacs in linuxmint 22, the package brings in a kitchen sink of email systems, which in turn requires system configuration (you have to tell it how to configure email for your system).

Let $f_p(t)$ be a periodic function with period $T$. An identity that we often use is that $$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} dt \, f_p(t) \left[ g(t) - g(t - T) \right] = 0 \, , $$ which can be shown by shifting the argument by $T$. However, I am confused about the sufficient and necessary conditions f...
