X, x+2 - two consecutive odd or even numbers
Add the reciprocals of these numbers.
\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+2}=\frac{x+2}{x(x+2)}+\frac{x}{x(x+2)}=\frac{x+2+x}{x^2+2x}=\frac{2x+2}{x^2+2x}


Now add the squares of the numerator and denominator, as in the example.
(2x+2)^2+(x^2+2x)^2= \\ 4x^2+8x+4+x^4+4x^3+4x^2= \\ x^4+4x^3+8x^2+8x+4

So this number has to be a perfect square.
x^4+4x^3+8x^2+8x+4= \\
x^4+2x^3+2x^2+2x^3+4x^2+4x+2x^2+4x+4= \\
x^2(x^2+2x+2)+2x(x^2+2x+2)+2(x^2+2x+2)= \\
(x^2+2x+2)(x^2+2x+2)= \\
(x^2+2x+2)^2
It is a perfect square, so this method always works.

The numbers 2x+2, \ x^2+2x, \ (x^2+2x+2)^2 are a Pythagorean triple for any x \in \mathbb{N^+}.

Answer:

even tho this has nothing to do with the answer ;-;

Step-by-step explanation:First a definition: A Pythagorean Triple are three natural numbers 1 <= a <= b <= c, such that a2 + b2 = c2 holds. For example 3, 4, 5 is such a triple, since 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 52. While 2, 3, 4 is not such a triple, since 22 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13 and 42 = 16. We note here that only natural numbers are considered, and thus 2, 3 can not be extended to Pythagorean triple (since 13 is not the square of some integer).

Now the question: Can we colour the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... with two colours, say blue and red, such that there is no monochromatic Pythagorean triple? In other words, is it possible to give every natural number one of the colours blue or red, such that for every Pythagorean triple a, b, c at least one of a, b, c is blue, and at least one of a, b, c is red ? We prove: The answer is No. That is easier to express positively: Whenever we colour the natural numbers blue or red, there must exist a monochromatic triple (one blue triple or one red triple).

More precisely we prove, using "bi-colouring" for colouring blue or red: 1) However we bi-colour the numbers 1, ..., 7825, there must exist a monochromatic Pythagorean triple. 2) While there exists a bi-colouring of 1, ..., 7824, such that no Pythagorean triple is monochromatic. Part 2) is relatively easy. Part 1) is the real hard thing -- every number from 1, ..., 7825 gets one of two possible colours, so altogether there are 27825 possible colourings, which all in a sense need to be considered, and need to be excluded. What is 27825? It is approximately 3.63 * 102355, that is, a number with 2356 decimal places. The number of particles in the universe is at most 10100, a tiny number with just 100 decimal places (in comparison).

Now let's perform real brute-force, running through all the possibilities, one after another: Even if we could place on every particle in the universe a super-computer, and they all would work perfectly together for the whole lifetime of the universe -- by far not enough. Even not if inside every particle we could place a whole universe. Even if each particle in the inner universe becomes again itself a universe, with every particle carrying a super-computer, still

by far not enough. Hope you get the idea -- the $100 we got wouldn't pay that energy bill.

Fortunately there comes SAT solving to the rescue, which actually is really good with such tasks -- it can solve some such task and even more monstrous tasks. Our ``brute-reasoning'' approach solved the problem and resulted into a 200 terabytes proof -- the largest math proof ever. Though we must emphasise that this is in no way guaranteed, and possibly it will take aeons! SAT solving uses propositional logic, in the special form of CNF (conjunctive normal form). Fortunately, in this case it is easy to represent our problem in this form.

Use appropriate algebra and theorem 7.2.1 to find the given inverse laplace transform. (write your answer as a function of t.) ℒ
castortr0y [4]

We assume you want to find the inverse transform of s/(s^2 +3s -4). This can be written in partial fraction form as

(4/5)/(s+4) + (1/5)/(s-1)

which can be found in a table of transforms to be the transform of

(4/5)e^(-4t) + (1/5)e^t


_____

There are a number of ways to determine the partial fractions. They all start with factoring the denominator.

s^2 +3x -4 = (s+4)(s-1)


After that, you can postulate the final form and determine the values of the coefficients that make it so. For example:

A/(s+4) + B/(s-1) = ((A+B)s + (4B-A))/(s^2 +3x -4)


This gives rise to two equations:

(A+B) = 1

(4B-A) = 0

Which undefined terms are needed to define a line segment
Finger [1]
Unsure of what you are asking!

But if the issue here is how to define a line segment, write what you do know and then reconsider "undefined terms."

A line segment is a straight line that connects a given starting point and given ending point.

If you consider a circle of radius 3 units, the radius can be thought of as the line segment connecting the center of the circle to any point on the circumference of the circle.

If the center of a given circle is at C(0,0) and a point on the circumference is given by R(3sqrt(2),3sqrt(2)), then AC is the line segment joining these two points.  This line segment has length 3 and is in the first quadrant, with coordinates x=3sqrt(2) and y=3sqrt(2) describing the end point of the segment.
