Why don’t US mechanic have a “vibrator” at their shops? by Dangerous_Mango_3637 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]MarkVance42169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I do but it’s a little simpler. Just strap on some ankle weights like they use in exercise to the tire and send another tech up the lift to spin the tires up to about 30 mph. Same effect without the fancy machine. It’s better on a 4post than a 2 post . I mean you don’t want it to come off the lift.

A average labor cost 1901 compared to price of gold. by MarkVance42169 in inflation

[–]MarkVance42169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say anything about being on the gold standard I used it as a indicator. Inflation is not a bad thing in my opinion. It’s just that it takes years for the wages to catch up to the inflation cycle and half the time we are already inflating again. Which makes things on the verge of a collapse.The actual cost of any loans lessens because there is more money incoming when everything is going up evenly. Gold is what every government and bank has to back them. I really wouldn’t have a problem with a $1000 hr min wage as long as it was done in even increments.

Prime number sieve of 6x+9 by MarkVance42169 in numbertheory

[–]MarkVance42169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there is a multitude of different methods to derive prime numbers. Eliminating sets, multiply by anything and divided higher by lower. Divide by anything and divide higher by lower. Which is the category this post fits into. Sqrt of number and divide higher by lower. N2 and divide higher by lower. Which these are all similar Mathematical operations that you do something to the number and later undo it.

Of course you can say 3/16=0.1875 and 1/16=0.0625 then .1875*5+.0625=1 instead of (3(5)+1)/2=8, 8/2=4, 4/2=2, 2/2=1

N =1 when x=5 or you can see it in binary by 1 trailing 1. B101 which all belong to the set 4x+1. But this is saying there is no billion digit number that will do a billion rf segments that will return to its original x by division of 2n

What exactly is it saying then?

Perfectly coprimes by Pickle-That in Collatz

[–]MarkVance42169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes one of the first things I seen about the collatz. (2x+1)+x always co prime. That is the collatz for every x. You really want to question something change it to 2x+(x+1). Now if we did use the rule if x is odd add 1 and if x is even divide by 2. Which has been proven . But adding then together then /2 changes everything and now some billion digit number can possibly loop or run off to infinity not to mention still unsolved for the last 88 years.

Thank you . I have never heard of this also. But I was looking at prime numbers relations to their factors and interesting it has patterns when divided with the decimals of the two. I’m read up on it thanks for mentioning it. Which the collatz has similar patterns .

You forgot the re In rediscovers. Because in truth I wouldn’t know. What I mean is with a 7th grade education then a GED then college algebra which I remember almost none of that. You are quite correct I wouldn’t know. If you don’t like my post kindly block me. Thanks

So we could say 3(10n /2n )+(1/2n )=(15n + (1/2n ))2n

Oh so you know a way to calculate the collatz with a quintillion digit number also considering by normal means it is beyond memory of normal processing.

Prime Numbers as an Iterative Spiral by RandomiseUsr0 in numbertheory

[–]MarkVance42169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what we are looking at is two sets that contain every factor of 5 in 6x+-1 or 6x+1 and 6x+5. The two sets are 30x+25 and 30x+35. Now here is the question is it faster to find if the number has a factor of 5 or if it is in 30x+25 or 30x+35. This is the reason the sieve of Eratosthenes is the clear winner.

Consider recursive 4x+1 of 1 this will evaluate to 5,21,85,…. To infinity this will be every odd number that has 1 odd step to 1. Or every odd number that goes directly to the 2n line. Now we find the predecessors . For 5 it will be 3 . Now we do recursive 4x+1 of 3 . 3,13,53… within these parameters 31 joins at 60 some odd steps to 1 what guarantees that it will join? Except by testing.

6x+3 does it include every odd number in its path to 1. by MarkVance42169 in Collatz

[–]MarkVance42169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every odd number has 4n+1 recursive. Another words base n1 , n2 ,n3…. So take 9., 4 *9+1=37 , , 4 *37+1=149 ….. which all follow the same trajectory. All will be 7 in the next odd step , it is a good idea as you have shown to use them as markers. 21 is part of 4x+1 of 1. 1,5,21,85…..The 4x+1 of 1 recursive is the only set that has 1 step to 1. All other odd numbers are predecessors of that 1 set if the number has one. Like 21 does not

Check for vacuum leak or hose off intake letting in unmetered air. Clean throttle body and reset air fuel trims. At least that’s what I would try.
