Re: Intersections of sets of primes

I have looked at the thread called Sets of Primes on mymathforum.com and he has answered a lot of my questions like that a double Fermat prime would not be of the form 2^(2^2^x + 1) but would rather be of the form 2^2^(2^2^x + 1) + 1

  I am a student in math who knows trig and precalculus in 9th grade.
I am really curious about primes and if we can define a parabolic trig function.
I like forums in fact I love them.

Re: Intersections of sets of primes

But what about here:

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

I have looked there as well.

Re: Intersections of sets of primes

Notice that he does not include your primes in there:

First, the primes in polynomials of degree > 1 are not known to be infinite, so we can't expect to know if any of their intersections are either.
