You can use the same "flipping over a copy" argument, but with the 4 shaded segments, you used for B for the last one to show it must be less than half of the circle.

This seems to be one of those questions, where it's just not really worth knowing the answer to it. As the answer doesn't really lead to any greater knowledge, except for answering stupid questions on tests.

please test GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, they are 15-30% smarter than GPT-4 in all tasks (in complex mathematical ones, maybe much better, maybe not - it's still a mystery). And use one-shot, few-shot methods (1...n demonstration with examples) for more correct answers
@eternity_hour3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the suggestions - I've used it so much more for maths these days and you're right that it's still a mystery: some simple problems it just cannot respond to properly even when worded simply, but some more vague complex questions it manages to complete well
@dkloke3 ай бұрын
Adding 1 gives us a rational coefficient to measure the irrational one against, then repeated squaring refines the ratio of the coefficients, very satisfying! It's not a sieve, could it be called a wringer?
@eternity_hour3 ай бұрын
thanks for the comment! Yes I think wringer is a great name indeed. did you attempt the problems at the end to develop ‘wringers’ for other irrationals? An even further extension is to work on making rational approximations for ‘doubly irrational’ numbers like sqrt(1+sqrt(2))
@benjaminlukwiya3 ай бұрын
For the 1st question, why did you complete the square? (Isn't that just for finding the turning point).
@eternity_hour3 ай бұрын
Yes but the turning point of a negative quadratic is also it's maximum as squares of real numbers have a minimum of zero. Other functions don't have simple algebraic properties like this that allow you to find their maxima and minima, which is why you learn new techniques at A-Level

hey man long time no see, i had universty exams latly and didnt had a chance to revist the channel. I love those kind of problems where you feel it might happen in a real world scenario, unlike other math problems where you feel you are just learning for grades sake. the way i solve it is by writing all posible outcomes, so i got: if the 3 variables are positves we will get 1+1+1+1=4 if the 3 variables are negatives we will get -1-1-1-1=-4 if 2 variables are negatives we will get -1-1+1+1=0 if 2 variables are positves we will get 1+1-1-1=0 and then i got stuck for 7 minutes wondering why i got -4 and 4, but then i remmbered that a+b+c=0 which means that we cant have 0 if all nummbers are postive/negative. so the answer cant be the first two options which leaves us with 0

Hi just to want to test your knowledge, can you solve this question: If f(x) is a differentiable function and g(x) is a double differentiable function such that If(x) | ≤ 1 and f'(x) = g(x). If f^2(0) + g^2(0) = 9. Prove that there exists some C € (-3, 3) such thatg(c). g"'(c) < 0.
@eternity_hour4 ай бұрын
If f(x) = sin(3x), g(x) = 3cos(3x), g”(x) = -27cos(3x), if c = 0, g”(x) = -27, which is less than zero.
