jackpot: This guy, e be like say u snuff a little alcohol, bah? Why are u quoting people and replying nonsense? I drafted a solution that will convince even non-mathematicians on how the answer is gotten. I am not a stereotyped mathematician.

A mere 5 seconds look at the question, I pictured the answer. Integral powers of 3 ends with the cycle of digits {3, 9, 7, 1}.



1998Mod4=2

and 3 raised to power of the residue class of 2 yields 9.

and 9Mod5=4.

Maybe thats how you want the solution to look like?

SMH.
nice one solve

I will provide a lazy solution to the problem sha.

A set is open if none of its points are boundary points.

Now, let P and Q be open sets. Then boundary(P) lies outside P and boundary(Q) lies outside Q.

Now, P n Q is a subset of P. P n Q is also a subset of Q. This means that boundary(P) and boundary(Q) lies outside P n Q.

Boundary(P n Q) is a subset of [boundary(P) u boundary(Q)]. Infact if x € boundary(P n Q), then either x € P or x € Q (but not in both at the same time) since P and Q are open sets.
Thus, boundary(PnQ) lies outside PnQ.

Hence, PnQ is open.


Feel free to critize this solution, folks.

BOUNDARY(P n Q) IS A SUBSET OF [(P) u (Q)]...bcuz since boundary(P) and boundary(Q) lies outside P n Q, it follows directly dat boundary PnQ lies in P u Q

...dy/dx=tangent...dy/dx=dy/dt*dt/dx....dy/dt=6t and dx/dt=6..dt/dx=1/6...dy/dx=6t*1/6=t...therefore tangent=t...also,tangent.normal=-1...then t.normal=-1...normal=-1/t...

Humphrey77: if 3+5 qual 8 prove that 1+1 equal 2






















using sandwitch theorem...it's impossible that two things equal...e.g two oranges...it's certain that one will be bigger...considering the smaller one...then ist orange+2nd orange(bigger)>2,considering the bigger one.ist orange+2nd orange(smaller)<2...so,x>2 and x<2...therefore x=2

Humphrey77: sin2x+sinx is equal to 1 we know that sin2x is equal to 2sinxcosx. clearly; we have 2sinxcosx +sinx equal to 1 . so let sinx equal to y; by subtitution into

sin2x + sinx equal to 1 we obtain the equation: 4y"4-3y"2-2y+1 equal to zero ; by solving for y we obtain y equal to 1; clearly recall that sinx is equal to y so we have x eq
ual to arcsin(1) we have x equal to 90 so x is equal to 90

somehow, I perceived maybe you are mixing up the term "boundary" of a set and upper/lower bounds of a set. These are very different concepts.

To prove that your argument is a basket, lets come down to IR.

Let P=(2,7) and Q=(4,5). Clearly, P and Q are open sets and Q lies wholly in P.
Now, the boundary of P is the 2-point set {2,7};
boundary of Q is the 2-point set {4,5}.
Therefore,
boundary(P) u boundary(Q)={2,7}u{4,5}={2,4,5,7}

Now,
P n Q = (2,7) n (4,5) = (4,5).
Therefore,
boundary(PnQ)= {4,5}.

Is {4,5} not a subset of {2,4,5,7} ?
That is, in this example,
is boundary(P n Q) not a subset of [boundary(P) u boundary(Q)] ?

I will withdraw the statement that "if x€ boundary(PnQ), then either x€P or x€Q" and replace it with "Let x€boundary(PnQ), then if x€P, then x is not in Q, and if x€Q, then x is not in P.

As for the proof of the "assertion", draw pictures of two overlapping sets like circles with dotted edges (the way you draw venn diagram). Label the two sets P and Q

boundary of the set P are those points lying on the edges, but since it is dotted lines, it is not inside the set.

Only pictures will clarify things more, bro Lap! wink cheesy

2. The second is 5 more than the third
3.the third and the forth are consecutive even and their sum is 10

A con guration of 4027 points in the plane is called Colombian if it consists of 2013 red
points and 2014 blue points, and no three of the points of the con guration are collinear. By drawing
some lines, the plane is divided into several regions. An arrangement of lines is good for a Colombian
con guration if the following two conditions are satis ed:
 no line passes through any point of the con guration;
 no region contains points of both colours.
Find the least value of k such that for any Colombian con guration of 4027 points, there is a good
arrangement of k lines

(ii) for all x; y 2 Q>0, we have f(x + y)  f(x) + f(y);
(iii) there exists a rational number a > 1 such that f(a) = a.
