September 14, 201015 yr Okay. Keep in mind it's the sum, and that there are an infinite number of numbers. :thumbup: Basically all the numbers with only 2s and 3s as factors.

September 14, 201015 yr Cause why the hell not? Is it 42? Cause if everything is 42.... Then it has to be 42. Why do you American's call autumn "Fall" AUTUMN IS COOLER. It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?
September 14, 201015 yr In Norwegian autumn is høst, probable from å høste (to harvest). Twitter: @TheMather1
September 14, 201015 yr I believe I know the question answered by 42. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

September 14, 201015 yr Correct, but I changed mine. It is now $))5 more awesome! 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes? Remember, Remember, the 4th of NovemberRIP Dawngate ;-;
September 14, 201015 yr Anyways it takes 150-2000 licks depending on your tongue. Twitter: @TheMather1
September 14, 201015 yr Anyways it takes 150-2000 licks depending on your tongue.150? What is your tongue, sandpaper? And Techy, I believe it is:(1/(2*2^n))+(1/(2*3^n))+(1/(2*3^n))+(1/(3*3^n)) where n is any defined integer.If you want it written in sigma notation, it'd take me a bit. Because I'd have to do it in MS Paint. Edit: Looked at it further with a bit of stuff I learned in pre-calc, and...sigma infinite(1/(2*2^n))=1sigma infinite(1/(2*3^n))=1/4sigma infinite(1/(3*2^n))=1/3sigma infinite(1/(3*3^n))=1/2So that's... 25/12.
September 14, 201015 yr I remember Calculus...well, I remember having it as a class lol. I have the bad habit of forgetting pretty much all the advanced math I learn about a year after. (I don't practice, so I forget after a while) And it's been YEARS since I've had calculus...so I can't even recall something as simple as the quadratic formula. :( "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space.

September 15, 201015 yr Hey Iey! How's the Elizabet cosplay going? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes? Remember, Remember, the 4th of NovemberRIP Dawngate ;-;
September 15, 201015 yr Iey:X equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 a c, all over two a. Now sing it to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel," and you can drive everyone you know insane with it.
September 15, 201015 yr Math be not my strong suit, so i'm no help here. I'll try and start up Overlording 2 tommorow, but it's been hectic for a first week of school.

September 15, 201015 yr Eh, off by 1/12. Probably because I calculated the infinite limits wrong or some crap like that.
September 15, 201015 yr Need moar activity! What's everyone's steam name? Im building a computer next week, so I can finally games newer than 2003. Edit - I accidentally the whole thing again...
September 15, 201015 yr lol. "Pop goes the weasel" was how our teacher helped the strugglers. I miss math. (It was my best subject) Had 6 math credits and was in calculus...then I moved to a [developmentally delayed]ed school who thought pre-algebra was college worthy. I /facepalmed. Gotta love relearning things I learned 5-6 years prior. Yeah I think it was 6. Was in pre-alg my 6th year IIRC. As for the cosplay, won't be done in time for this All Hallow's Eve. :( "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space. I'll put you in your place.I'll only tell you once, I'll never tell you twice.

September 15, 201015 yr D'aaw, sad face. I'm sure you'll get it done eventually, and it will probably be great. :thumbup: Erm, and don't starve yourself buying the materials. :thumbdown: 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

September 15, 201015 yr Okay, here's the solution. The sum of all the reciprocals can be represented by a simple multiplication. (1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32...) x (1 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + 1/81 + 1/243 + 1/729...) This is because every reciprocal we are using has a certain number of 2s and a certain number of 3s. It is easy to see that as infinite series, we can choose any number of 2s from the first column and any number of 3s from the second column. Through summing of infinite series, we have the following 2 x 3/2 3 However, there was a slight glitch in our expression. If we multiply the reciprocal of 1 and the reciprocal of 1, the result is not divisible by 2 or 3. The answer is merely 1. That means we must subtract one from our total to get the correct answer, which is 2. Another way would be to sum the individual infinite series. First we have (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8...) which sums to 1. Then we do it for a few more. (1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + 1/81...) = 1/2(1/6 + 1/12 + 1/24 + 1/48...) = 1/3(...) = 1/4(...) = 1/5 This continues on, but I don't remember the infinite series I used. Anyhow, the infinite series forms another infinite series! We end up with... (1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32...) Which sums to 2! Yay, wasn't that fun?!?! Master of your domain?

September 15, 201015 yr My thoughts; "What the hell are those calculations? They make sense but where the hell do they come from and what are their practical applications?" Twitter: @TheMather1
September 15, 201015 yr The problem itself or the summing of infinite series? If it's the latter, practical applications would probaly be in engineering and architecture, where they would use mathematics to model/design eyepleasing structures. If that fails, then it makes people better at math, which is always a good thing. Master of your domain? I am Lord of the manor, Queen of the castle, King of the county!
