Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi;
Okay, thanks for coming in and for the links.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi. Consider the following problem:
This is my solution:
LHS is for all x, y.
RHS is for all y since .
Hence LHS = RHS if and only if
and
The second equation gives ; substituting into the first equation gives
Hence the solution set is .
So my question is: Is my proof okay? Is everyone happy with my proof?

Re: Is this cool with you?
New Problem:
Three circles of radius 5,4 and 3 are drawn in that order and in a line touching at one point. E says she wants to draw two tangents. One across the top of the three circles and one along the bottom. She wants the two tangents to intersect a I. How far away is I from the rightmost circle's right side?
A says) Impossible to determine!
B says) You might be right.
C says) A and B agreeing? I am shocked. I is 41 away from the rightmost circle's right side.
D says) I agree with A but not with B. I also like C's answer.
What is your answer?

Hi bobbym
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Is this cool with you?
New problem:
The triangle shown below has sides 20, 22 and n. What is the largest and smallest values that n can take provided that n is a integer?
A says) Incorrect and kaboobly doo, n can only have one value.
B says) That is not correct, n can take...
C says) Hmmm, I have to finally agree with A.
D says) What is finally?
E says) I have the answer.
