No, but I'm starting to learn it. It's really hard without the layout in front of me.

Has anyone here tried typing in Dvorak? What do you think about it?

Happy anniversary and congrats!

I think there is a far more important question. Do you like transparent soap?

#230 Re: Help Me ! » Irrational roots » 2014-11-30 00:03:30

Yeah, it's the classic proof of irrationality. smile

Of course, that proof needs a bit more work to be an actual proof, such as explaining what exactly was done there and the discussion of the a=b case.

The second one is a bit more straightforward.

#231 Re: Help Me ! » Irrational roots » 2014-11-29 10:42:48

Meant it the other way round. It's always irrational.

Proof for b):

#232 Re: Help Me ! » Irrational roots » 2014-11-29 03:31:33

b) When a=b.


c) Always.

You should try to prove this by assuming it's incorrect, i.e. that a and b are different and

is rational.

I don't think 1 is correct. Have you tried to plot it. It's wild.

#238 Re: Help Me ! » Limits » 2014-11-21 13:04:55

I don't think it exists.

#239 Re: Help Me ! » Limits » 2014-11-20 12:36:51

Where did he not allow the squeeze theorem?

#240 Re: Help Me ! » Limits » 2014-11-20 11:13:03

You can divide both the denominator and the numerator by x, then use the known limits of sin(x)/x and tan(x)/x.

Hi MIF

Not sure if that's the general case, but I've seen the bolded "I" be used mostly for irrational numbers.

#243 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Dihydrogen Monoxide » 2014-11-14 11:14:14

I heard it was used a long time ago by the primitive native tribes of San Serriffe.

#245 Re: Help Me ! » Is there such a function? » 2014-11-12 12:26:28

Yep. Here's another interesting one:

Does continuity of a function f on [a,b] guarantee continuity of the function g(x)=sup{f(t)|a≤t≤x} on [a,b]? What about differentiability?

#247 Re: Help Me ! » Is there such a function? » 2014-11-12 06:22:53

It can, why do you think it can't?

#249 Re: Help Me ! » Is there such a function? » 2014-11-12 05:13:53

Well, it certainly does exist.

Think of it this way: If you take any number that's a period, there is a number smaller than that one that's also a period.

#250 Re: Help Me ! » Is there such a function? » 2014-11-12 04:21:44

It is, but can you find such a function?
