Hi bobbym
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Bafflers?
If we have the curve
and the points A(8,8+2√ (2)), B(8,0) and C(0,0) see the diagram.
We need to have two triangles put under the curve and bounded by the x axis, y axis and x = 8. The red and blue triangles are examples.
Where on the curve do we need to place D so that the triangles have equal area? Just one other thing, we need avery accurate answer for D's coordinates. It must be accurate to 20 decimal places or more.

Re: Bafflers?
Course's okay for now, will be over in a few months.
Have some new things to learn on the job as well, so not much time's left for myself.

Haven't seen you in a while! How have you been? 
What kind of courses are you taking?

Re: Bafflers?
New problem:
There are 4 circles that overlap each other.
Circle A has a center at (4, 2.3) and a radius of 1.
Circle B has a center at ( 6.4 , 1.25) and a radius of 2.
Circle C has a center at (10 , 4.5) and a radius of 3.
Circle D has a center at (4 , 7.25) and a radius of 4.
There is a small area in the middle of the 4 circles that none of them cover. What is that area?

Hi anonimnystefy,
I'm fine, how are you?
The course is for master's degree.
Hi bobbym,
Thanks, the journey is bumpy at present, hope I can do well !
