The square root of 6 is irrational |
2017-10-02 |
|
From John:
http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/sylvia1.html
In the initial assumption of that proof, root 6 is assumed to be a/b where a and b have no common factors, but why does having a common factor make it irrational?

A six team league to play a 20 game schedule |
2015-10-19 |
|
From Kelly:
Hi there. Some of your posts are close, but my problem is evening out the home
and away games. We have 6 teams in our league and we are going to play a 20
game schedule, playing everyone 4 times. We will play Fridays and Saturdays,
each weekend. Of course the ideal would be to have each team have a home and
an away game each weekend, but I realize that is impossible, but I would like it as
close as possible. Any help would be much appreciated!! We also were considering
opening with a home and away - Friday then Saturday with the same teams. Then
carrying on with playing everyone else and then possibly finishing up with the same
home and home

A sixfold increase |
2007-10-24 |
|
From Fred:
If I have $500 and it grew to $3,000, what is the correct description of the increase? Is it a sixfold increase (sextupled), or a fivefold increase (quintupled)?
When I divide $3,000 by $500, the result is six, therefore, a sixfold increase?

More on the sixth degree equation |
2007-08-21 |
|
From Farzan:
Equation 1 :
(R + (6.67*5.98*10^13/((R^2)*2)))^2 - (R^2) = (7.27*(10^-5)*R)^2
Equation 2 :
(6.67*5.98*10^13/(R^2*2))^2 + 6.67*5.98*10^13/R = (7.27*10^-5*R)^2
As you see if we expand the left part of the first equation and simplify, the
equations become same, but these two equations have different answers in my
math software.The first one has 3 amounts for R, but the second one has 6
amounts. Why are the answers different ?

The tribe has a taboo against using the same letter twice in the same word. It is never done. If each different sequence of letters constitutes a different word in the language, what is the maximum number of six-letter words that the language can employ?
