What is the ratio between the lengths of a rectangular pool table if a ball launched from one of the sides under an angle of 45° passes through the starting point after 6 reflections?(when I say reflection I mean that the ball hits the side of the table)

But, the semi-circles and the circles may be of different sizes also. The size is not specifies in the question.
I think the size doesn't matter as 3 will be needed as greg said.I don't know yet if the answer is the same for a sphere.
#4 Re: Help Me ! » I need help with this please » 2017-04-09 00:56:11
??? No, still don't get it. What's the difference between a circle and a disk? If two semicircles meet what does it matter if they're open?
Here's my solution.

You cannot see the original circle (it is red) because it's covered.
Bob
The disk is the inside of the circle

@greg1313 how do I extemd this to a sphere?Will I need 3 hemispheres like here?
#6 Re: Help Me ! » I need help with this please » 2017-04-08 05:49:32
Hey.
The problem says nothing about their size,it only says that an open secircles is a semicircle without its ends.

a)How many open semicircles are needed to fully cover a circle?
b)How many open hemispheres are needed to fully cover a sphere?
It is the first time I've ever seen questions like this and I don't know how to approach them.Please help me!

Hi guys! I need some help with this exercise I am trying to do so as to be prepared for the math olympiad:
Be n>=2 a natural number.Prove that the equation
has an infinity of solutions in N*.
My idea initially was to use mathematical induction to prove it,but then I thought that maybe it is a diophantine equation.I need some help with it

How did you get it thickhead?

Be the numbers
.If find the minimum of the sum .I tried to show that sum is >= than something but no luck.I tried using all the inequalities I know but I didn't use any which help,so I need your help guys
#11 Re: Help Me ! » Need help with these equations » 2017-01-17 09:24:48
Yeah that's what I tried to do too.It seems that the equations have an infinity of solutions.I thought I was missing something 
Just wondering,how did you find all those numbers above?
#12 Re: Help Me ! » Need help with these equations » 2017-01-17 05:03:19
Oh my God that's a lot of numbers.Which are the relationships you are thinking at?
#13 Re: Help Me ! » Need help with these equations » 2017-01-17 04:06:13
Well the only thing I did not include is that x,y and z are distinct from one another

Hey guys,here I am with another exercise I can't solve.
Find all the triplets of distinct real numbers (x,y,z) for which:
I remember this problem as an exercise for integers.There I would use that xyz=1 but how do I do it for reals?
#15 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-14 22:21:58
They are right,I checked them
#16 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-14 06:00:57
Thank you for your help !
#17 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-12 06:42:35
Okay,I am looking forward to seeing your ideas
#18 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-12 05:12:04
My best try at proving that using that relation was that
where m is a rational number.I used then that the other frac is mq and I tried to square them,divide the ecuations etc but it is definitely not working.
#19 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-11 17:36:53
Well I don't know.There are usually more .And I don't know how to prove there aren't.
#20 Re: Help Me ! » Find all the n numbers » 2017-01-11 08:18:42
Yes,I managed to guess it too but I don't know how to find all of them.

Hey! I've come across an exercise I can 't seem to solve.
Find all the n integers that satisfy :
is a rational number.
I can't see how to find them because 4n-2 can't be a perfect square and that's why I need some help on it.
#22 Re: Help Me ! » The first 3 decimals of this number » 2017-01-04 08:32:37
Yeah,I managed to finish it from that point.Thank you all for your help!
#23 Re: Coder's Corner » C language » 2017-01-04 02:57:55
Hey! I have some c++ knowledge maybe I can help you
#24 Re: Help Me ! » The first 3 decimals of this number » 2017-01-04 02:47:48
So I should prove that
is independent of n?
EDIT:That's the only thing I can't prove so I could use a hand
#25 Re: Help Me ! » The first 3 decimals of this number » 2017-01-03 23:06:58
Ok so from that point I applied that theorem but what should I do next?
