But, $\sqrt{x + 4} \times \sqrt{x+4} \neq (x+4)$$ right?
Jun 15, 2012 07:43
\sqrt{(4+x)^2} = \pm(x+4)
Jun 15, 2012 07:42
Guys, is it wrong to say $$ \sqrt{x + 4} \times \sqrt{x+4} =\sqrt{16+8 x+x^2}=\sqrt{(4+x)^2} = \pm(x+4)$$?

Hello everyone!
Apr 22, 2012 07:34
Yep, that's right.
Apr 22, 2012 07:34
The solution.
Apr 22, 2012 07:31
My friend gave me some more terms:
5 + 5 = 3
6 + 6 = 2
7 + 7 = 2
8 + 8 = 2
9 + 9 = 4
Apr 22, 2012 07:28
1 + 1 = 3
2 + 2 = 3
3 + 3 = 3
4 + 4 = 2
5 + 5 = ?

I am have riddle that's seems interesting

Hey Kannappan!

Hey guys!
Apr 15, 2012 20:40
Aha Thanks!
Apr 15, 2012 20:36
Am I right?

and does not exists in cases where it is undefined.
Apr 15, 2012 20:36
I think it's better to say that the limit is infinity here.
Apr 15, 2012 20:35
\lim_ {x \to \infty} x = \infty can we say (here) that this limit does not exist?
Apr 15, 2012 20:34
I have a question,

Thanks @tb

There was a discussion in M.SE about this. I am not able to find it now :(
Apr 6, 2012 07:57
I was wondering does anybody remember the name of the mathematician who derived the general rule for finding $\sum_{i=1}^{n}i^k$ for any k in \mabb{ N}

Kannnappan: Unit digit, that's easy with modular arithmetic and I can do the whole thing with modular arithmetic in a jiffy but as far I can think there exists a algebraic way of solving this one using some manipulation

@N3buchadne Why Eeeeek? lol

I have one problem, How to find the last two digits of $23^3+24^3+25^3+26^3+27^3$ using algebra.

Guys, Does anybody know how to integrate $$ \int_0^1 \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x} \; dx $$?
Feb 27, 2012 16:55
I don't understand why is it not taking care of the case $(\pm 5, 0)$
Feb 27, 2012 16:54
I have to count the integer solutions of $x^2+y^2 \le 25$, I am getting $81$, but woframalpha says it's $79$.

Hey guys!
Feb 16, 2012 15:45
While I can understand "Since $3^3=1\pmod{13}$, $9^3=1\pmod{13}$. Since $10=1\pmod{3}$, $N=1\pmod{3}$" I can't understand how $9^N=9\pmod{13}$ is implied from the above two. Any ideas?
Feb 16, 2012 15:44
I am having a lil bit of trouble in understand this answer, "Since $3^3=1\pmod{13}$, $9^3=1\pmod{13}$. Since $10=1\pmod{3}$, $N=1\pmod{3}$ and $9^N=9\pmod{13}$."

it's 7/16

I got it
Feb 12, 2012 13:46
@Sullpatrol:a second.
Feb 12, 2012 13:36
My calculation suggests that the answer is 1/4, is it correct?

A and B are friends. They decide to meet between 1 PM and 2PM on a given day. There is a condition that whoever arrives first will not wait for the others for more than 15 minutes. Find the probability that they will meet.

Guys, I have a problem
Feb 10, 2012 10:24
I have one problem, "There are an infinite number of polynomials P for which P(x+5) - P(x) = 2 for all x. What is the least possible value of P(4) - P(2)?"
Feb 10, 2012 10:23
Yo guys!
Feb 9, 2012 09:25
just wondering if it is right
Feb 9, 2012 09:25
I think the the answer is 1/3...
Feb 9, 2012 09:24
@Ilya: Elementary inequalities.
Feb 9, 2012 09:23
I have one problem, easy one: a, b and c are real positive numbers satisfying

$1/2 \le ab+bc+ca\le 1$

and

$abc \ge \frac1{27}$

What is the minimum possible value of (a + b + c)?
Feb 9, 2012 09:20
Hey guys
Feb 8, 2012 09:51
@Ilya: but I guess we still would need $12 a b m n$
