I am trying to solve a question from Leaving Cert. Ordinary Level Maths 2018 Paper 2. A solid sphere is made of gold. It has a volume of 0.113cm3 (cubed). Each cm3 of pure gold weighs 19.3grams. I am trying to find the number of grams of pure gold in the sphere. The marking scheme says I am to multip...

In *Graphs and Digraphs* by Chartrand and Lesniak, a proof of a generalized Turan's Theorem uses the following fact: the inequalities $r \leq n \leq 2(r-1)$ are equivalent to the inequality $$\binom{r-1}{2} + (n-r+1)(r-2) + \binom{n-r+1}{2} \leq \frac{r-2}{2r-2}\cdot n^2$$ Where $\binom{n}{k}$ is the binomial coe...
A domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is called an *$(\varepsilon, \delta)$-domain* (or *locally uniform domain*) if there exists an $\varepsilon > 0$ such that for all $x, y \in \Omega$ with $\lvert{x - y}\rvert < \delta$ there is a rectifiable curve $\gamma : [0, l(\gamma)] \to \Omega$ joining $x$ to $y$ and satisfy...

According to some sources, i.e. Wiki, the application of [L'Hospital's Rule][1] requires four conditions to be satisfied. One of them is the existence of limit of the quotient of the derivatives.

You can use L'Hôpital's rule for one-sided limits. Here you can use it twice, once on each side, and it says the one-sided limits are the same in the first limit as in the second limit (which they are). See [Does L'hopital work for one sided limits?](https://math.stackexchange.com/q/1266111/139123)

You prob want a subroutine that can take a function as an argument. You might also want a variable step size.

Specifically, I require an efficient algorithm that can handle high-dimensional vectors (e.g., dimensionality around 100), where each vector component satisfies $0 \leq x_1 \leq x_2 \leq \ldots \leq ...
>In the café, 4 people are having lunch, whose names are $v_1$, $v_2$, $v_3$, and $v_4$. Some of them know each other. The number of acquaintances of person $v_i$ (who are in the café) is denoted by $d(v_i)$. Prove that among the numbers $d(v_1)$, $d(v_1)$, $d(v_1)$, and $d(v_1)$, there are equal ones. I guess I hav...
I found a question in the very end of [this][1] video, which essentially is the following: [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv7VseMsOQc&t=5s > Let $n$ be some natural number. Suppose there is a function $f : \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that it satisfies the following 2 properties: >-...
Let $J = (0,T)$, $T > 0$, $G = (a,b) \subset \mathbb{R}$ (finite interval), and $f \in C(J;L^2(G))$. I consider the heat equation with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and with initial value $u_0 \in L^2(G)$, \begin{align} \begin{cases} \frac{\partial u(t,x)}{\partial t} - \frac{\partial^2 u(t,x)}{\partial x^2} &=...
The original title of my post was <h3>Why is it so hard for mathematicians to say <i>exactly one</i>?</h3> The proof under critique seems to be an elaborate way of saying: given a function $s$ let $a=s\left(x\right)$ and $b=s\left(y\right)$ then $x=y\implies a=b.$ Which is the definition of a function. The w...
Given a circle $C$ of radius $1$ around the origin, I want to determine the locus of the centers of all circles that touch $C$ and the $x$-axis. This is the red curve in the following [Desmos plot](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/e8upuzdtke), where the blue circe touches $C$ and the $x$-axis: [![enter image desc...
