**Context:**<br> Hi, I started by calculating the chance of an event happening with a chance of 1 in x after n times. Next I wanted to flip this approach to be able to say how many n attempts are needed to have a given chance P(n) of an event happening. **Examples:**<br> 1. With a chance of 1 in 4.2 billion km, h...
For any $m \in \mathbb{N}$, are there primes $p_1, \dots, p_n$ such that $\gcd(p_1 + 1, \dots, p_n + 1) = m$?
**Hint:** Do the same trick for $T_0 = T - \lambda I$ and $\lambda_0 = -\lambda$ and consider degrees. More concretely, if $p_0$ is minimal polynomial of $T_0$ different from $q$, what's the relation between $q_0$ and $p$ and what does it tell you about minimality of $p$?
I want to solve the following problem: A real estate agent has 8 master keys to open several new homes. Only one master key will open any of the houses. If 40% of these are usually left open, what is the probability that the real estate consultant will open any of the houses? So, we can define the events: A:Th...

Hopefully a quick one! -------------------- Let $R$ be a compact noetherian ring and $T,T^\prime$ be compact $R$-modules. Does it then follow that the $R$-module $T+T^\prime$ is compact too (where $T+T^\prime$ is the $R$-module generated by $T \cup T^\prime$)? I know that this is false for general modules, but...

Given the trajectories of two objects $$r(t)=(4\cos(t),2\sin(t))$$ $$s(t)=(2\sin(2t),3\cos(2t))$$ I have to evaluate $$\left.\frac{dD}{dt}\right|_{t=\pi}$$ where $D$ is the distance between them. May I say $$D(t)=r(t)-s(t)?$$ Or should it be $$D(t)=\sqrt{r^2(t)-s^2(t)}?$$
