Math

Wait, what are you saying now? That length can be negative, or that it can’t?

Oh, and that shit with the spheres… blargh

Nerds are scary.

Two ridiculously easy proofs.

Given:

13x-2y=3
25x-11y=1

Prove: The solution to the system of equations is (1/3, 2/3)

AND

Did you have to choose to make a system with a bunch of fucking prime numbers? :neutral_face:

The proof is just plugging them in though.
13/3 - 4/3 = 3 → 13 - 4 = 9
25/3 - 22/3 = 1 → 25 - 22 = 3

The line one…
Assume they’re parallel.
If they are, <EXY = <XYF, so we need to show that.

<AXD = <BXE
<AXD + <DXE = pi
<BXE + <BXA = pi
<DXE = <BXA
<BXA = <EXY, I forget why, but they’re opposite angles in intersecting lines.
<XYF = <DXE = <BAX = <EXY
<XYF = <EXY, QED

Geeze…that’s…a little disconcerting.

Uh…I can derive things…that’s kinda cool, I guess…

But what you guys are doing confuses the crap out of me. That’s what I get for being too lazy to read the first 3 pages. :stuck_out_tongue:

But can you write them in Satement/Reasoning form?

The first one hardly needs reasoning, they just happen to be equal.

The geometry one, here:
<AXD = <BXE | Given
<AXD + <DXE = pi | Definition of a line
<BXE + <BXA = pi | Definition of a line
<DXE = <BXA | Transitive property
<BXA = <EXY | Vertical angles are congruent
<XYF = <EXY | Transitive property <XYF = <DXE = <BAX = <EXY
AE || FY | Two parallel lines intersected by a transversal form corresponding pairs of angles that are congruent.

(I made a mistake writing it earlier, now fixed)

eww radians

:stuck_out_tongue:

…But that’s the point of a proof…

Proving arithmetic is retarded.
I could prove that those are the ONLY solutions, I guess.
