Hi moore1967

Welcome to the forum! smile

What is your favourite colour?

Multiply the second equation by yz then subtract itbfrom the third equation.

#654 Re: Help Me ! » trigonometry#2 » 2014-07-24 06:36:37

If there are x0, y0 and z0 for those, then those are the only ones, because sin(3 theta)=cos(3 theta)

That's not exactly a flaw. Maybe Harry just isn't quite a logician and is trying to deduce the colors from his own marbles and label only.

Is there a comma between y0 and z0?

It makes no difference.

Ah, yes, sorry.

Unrelated to the topic, have you gotten around to looking at Elaina's problems yet?

Yeah, but it was easier to just find a pic on the interblag than to make it in GG or anywhere and upload it on imgur.

Brilliant!

Now, what did you use to draw that cube?

Found it on the interwebs.

There isn't such an algorithm.

Consider the corners of the cube:

After each move, some of the odd labeled corners go into places of even labeled corners and vice versa. So, after any odd number of moves, odd corners end up in even numbered places and the even corners end up in odd numbered places, so such an algorithm is not possible.

There are still some problems that have persisted since 4.0.

Which problems?

#666 Re: Help Me ! » Is there any way I can check my proofs? » 2014-07-18 04:25:14

I'm sure that if you post the proofs here someone will be able to respond.

The one you posted looks good (assuming I got what you meant to write; some parentheses are missing), but it generally depends what you assume you already know is true, like you said.

*are you

I'm a nerd, I would say. Which one do you think you are?

Hi harrychess

I'm getting 38 degrees.

#670 Re: Help Me ! » trigonometry » 2014-07-17 20:04:29

Yep! It's interesting, to say the least.

#671 Re: Help Me ! » trigonometry » 2014-07-17 07:02:57

The rest are not meaningless, just complex.

And, why not 10? smile

#672 Re: Coder's Corner » Just another perl hacker » 2014-07-17 06:44:46

Hm, does the first meaning of boffin vary from context to context, because a nerd is not the same as a geek.

#673 Re: Help Me ! » Invertible matrix » 2014-07-14 08:54:58

Isn't the transformation done on a matrix?

Hi bobbym

See you later!

Thanks.
