9 Pi or Tau

jkim0656 59

Hey Aops!
Pi = Circumfrence/Diameter
Tau = Circumfrence/Radius
I have noticed a lot of sites, including Khan Academy, in support of tau over pi...
so what do you think?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/let-s-use-tau-it-s-easier-than-pi/
However i am still in support of the good ol pi :)
(btw this is my first aops poll) :-D

EDIT: 50 votes!!! :play_ball:
EDIT: 100 votes!!! :jump:
EDIT: 150 votes! :trampoline:

Concavity of a function

pii-oner 1

Hi everyone,

I am studying the concavity of the function

$f(x) = \sqrt{1 - x^a}, \quad a \geq 0$
on the interval $x \in [0,1]$ .

I computed the second derivative and found that for $a \geq 1$ , the function appears to be concave. However, I am uncertain about the behavior at the endpoints.

Does anyone have insights on confirming concavity rigorously for $a \geq 1$ and understanding the behavior at the endpoints? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Putnam 2017 B3

Source: Putnam

Suppose that $f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^\infty c_ix^i$ is a power series for which each coefficient $c_i$ is $0$ or $1$ . Show that if $f(2/3) = 3/2$ , then $f(1/2)$ must be irrational.

3-dimensional matrix system

loup blanc 1

Let $A=\begin{pmatrix}1&1&0\\0&1&1\\0&0&1\end{pmatrix}$ .
i) Find the matrices $B\in M_3(\mathbb{R})$ s.t. $A^TA=B^TB,AA^T=BB^T$ .
EDIT. ii) Show that each solution of i) is in $M_3(K)$ , where $K=\mathbb{Q}[\cos(\dfrac{2}{3}\arctan(3\sqrt{3}))]$ .
iii) Solve i) when $B\in M_3(\mathbb{C})$ .
EDIT. In iii) we again consider the transpose of $B$ and not its conjugate transpose.

Square of a rational matrix of dimension 2

loup blanc 9

The following exercise was posted -two months ago- on the Website StackExchange; cf.
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/5006488/image-of-the-squaring-function-on-mathcalm-2-mathbbq
There was no solution on Stack.

-Statement of the exercise-
We consider the matrix function $f:X\in M_2(\mathbb{Q})\mapsto X^2\in M_2(\mathbb{Q})$ .
Find the image of $f$ .
In other words, give a method to decide whether a given matrix has or does not have at least a square root
in $M_2(\mathbb{Q})$ ; if the answer is yes, then give a method to calculate at least one of its roots.

Error in Special AIME Seminar A solution

fermat_sLastAMC 1

The text in the following image (of the solution for problem #3 of the practice AIME of 4134 Special AIME Seminar A) should state that the positions of A and B are plotted on the vertical and time is plotted on the horizontal.

Where should I post these kinds of errors in the future?

Contest collection PDFs don't work when LaTeX is embedded within BBCode

Equinox8 5

This could very well be reported before, however a quick search did not find anything.

While embedding LaTeX commands within BBCode (like this: [i]text $\dfrac{1}{2}$ text[/i]) typically displays as intended within a forum, trying to render a contest collection using these commands breaks the PDF renderer.

k 2023 IMO

ostriches88 4

As outlined in this (locked) post, the forum/blog creation message is out of date. It has been over a year since that post, and it still has not changed. I don't know if this got lost somewhere in the "passing this along" chain or if it was determined to be irrelevant, but it seems like a relatively simple fix ;)
