Real Math by FirstSintax September 6, 2014 at 10:09 PM UTC

My old thread is full of spammers.

here is new one

This thread was created because I saw some other people enjoy math (MilkCream)

Post anything mathy here so yeah.

no 1+1 stuff plz

Im serious

When 2100  3100 is divided by 5, what is the remainder?

FirstSintax September 6, 2014 at 10:09 PM UTC

Yes, cause there needs to be more posts of people bragging about how "smart" they are at a subject. On-Topic : 1+1 = 2
I'm not bragging, Milkcream inspired me. 

just stop

What is 4929x472-472+382?
2326398 ( Thank you google )

Thread cleaned up.

FirstSintax, to answer your question, the remainder is 2. 
It's really simple if you just look for the pattern... 
Took me less than half a minute .-. 

2 ^ 100 divide 5 has a remainder of 1 
3 ^ 100 has a remainder of 1 
1 + 1 =2

well, even if 2^100  /5 and 3^100  /5 are both 1, we cant use the distributive property.

(a^x + b^x) is not equal to A+b^x

but what wuz the pattern? im curious

ShiptheBattle September 6, 2014 at 11:09 PM UTC

Sintax, 

2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,etc.
3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1, etc. 
Using Mod, 
We have 6 and 1 as the remainders for 2 ^100 and 3 ^ 100 respectively. 
Thus, 6 divide 5, has a remainder of 1. 
In conclusion, 1 + 1 = 2
There's tons of these problems in Competitive Math, some easy point takers for me :D

Stuck on a problem for days...

Simplify log(2)*log(x)
It's not log(2x), I tried that

erm wait no... lemme figure this out...
so right... it's log(x^(log 2))
aka log x to the log 2 power

In case additional confirmation is needed, I can assure you that this is correct. Now... sorry to bother with a trifling, simple math problem — algebraic combination, with factorials and all that jazz — but can someone check if my work is correct? A couple of my classmates were thinking that I did a step or two incorrectly...

"(Step A) (x – 3y)^4"
"(Step B) (4 choose 0)(x)^4 + (4 choose 1)(x)^3(–3y) + (4 choose 2)(x)^2(–3y)^2 + (4 choose 3)(x)(–3y)^3 + (4 choose 4)(–3y)^4"
"(Step C) (4! ÷ 0!4!)(x)^4 + (4! ÷ 1!3!)(x)^3(–3y) + (4! ÷ 2!2!)(x)^2(–3y)^2 + (4! ÷ 3!1!)(x)(–3y)^3 + (4! ÷ 4!0!)(–3y)^4"
"(Step D) x^4 – 12x^3y + 54x^2y^2 – 108xy^3 + 81y^4"

It may not look as pleasant when typed out rather than written by hand, but hopefully someone can decipher it.

OHH, thanks! I can't believe I didn't remember that

Yep, that looks correct.
Oh, and the above problem was an original one.

If you're wondering what level the problem's around, I like to do mid-AIME to USAMO and beyond, so I'm guessing this might be late-AIME to early USAMO, but I'm not a judge of this.

What math competitions will you guys be attending this year?

How can use the Haversine formula with longitude and latitude, to get points from a 50 mile radius from a database, and find the angle of the point in relationship to the origin?

wut?

Im only in 7th grade tho.


oh well have fun!

JKawesome September 7, 2014 at 9:09 PM UTC

Oh ok xD

Also, how do you find the angle between the Y axis and a point from the origin?

FirstSintax September 7, 2014 at 9:09 PM UTC

um, kill yourself?
jk(awesome)

how.... distance form?

Let's say I have 2 points on a coordinate plane. One is at the origin (0, 0), and the other one is at, say, (10, 7). If I were to draw a line between the 2 points, and calculate the angle between the positive side of the Y-axis and the line, clockwise, how would I do that?

Milki September 7, 2014 at 11:09 PM UTC

Given point (x,y):
angle=arcsin(x/y)

Poll: What is your most hated topic in math?

For me, it's graph theory. It gets me almost every time.
This is why I'm a number theory/geometry/algebra person. Not a big fan of Combo.

Holy...you just answered what I had been trying to figure out the whole day

And the poll: I freaking hate trigonometry :3

Lol, complete opposite of me. I can't do algebra at all.

Yeah, you're the exact opposite. I find anything geometry related kind've difficult.

basic math everyone

how did you get that with base 3?

A good, extremely hard problem I worked on a few days ago:

An n times n matrix whose entries come from the set S  1 2 ldots  2n - 1 is called a silver matrix if, for each i  1 2 ldots  n, the i-th row and the i-th column together contain all elements of S. Show that silver matrices exist for infinitely many values of n.

oh god. why is there a math problem here?! i thought school wasnt incorporated here. well i will give it a go. how is it so hard?

Zieno12345 September 15, 2014 at 10:09 PM UTC

Not really a math problem, but I think it fits here :D. 

In the night, four people need to cross a bridge. One person crosses in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, another in 5 minutes, and the last in 10. At most, the bridge can only hold 2 people at a time, and when said people cross, they must go at the slower persons' pace. In addition, there must be a person that crosses back in order to hand the flashlight back to the other group. What is the order in which they cross for all of them to reach the other side in 17 minutes?

FirstSintax September 16, 2014 at 1:09 AM UTC

oh god these r so hard

Let's say person 1 crosses in 1 minute, person 2 crosses in 2 minutes, person 3 crosses in 5, and person 4 crosses in 10.
1 and 2 cross.
1 goes back.
3 and 4 cross.
2 goes back.
1 and 2 cross.

This is a pretty famous problem. It's not exactly a math problem, but it's more of a logic puzzle, so also partially a math problem :D
