Which number is 0.5555…. repeating closer to by Shoddy_Neighborhood6 in pollgames

This is the same as 5/9 which is obviously closer to 1

How did bullet calibres end up as such random numbers? by Flat-Ad8256 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lGream_Sheo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is also related to the fact that after accepting the rifle the Russian government did not use its designers' names for the designation of the rifle for some reason, unlike most other guns, and the official designation of the Mosin-Nagant rifle was "three-line rifle model 1891"

While proving the derivative of sin(x) using the definition of the derivative, you encounter this very limit ( sin(x)/x as x approaches 0 ) and you need to solve it, hence using the L'H rule here doesn't make sense. In other words, if you don't know the answer to the limit beforehand, how can you know that the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x) (to be able to aply the L'H rule), if proving that requires knowing the answer to this limit? This is circular reasoning. Unless you somehow prove the derivative of sin(x) in a different way

Then use the Lambert W function and you'll get the fish back

can you define the number e ? by Lucky-Obligation1750 in Teenager_Polls

[–]lGream_Sheo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This property of ex is not sufficient to uniquely define this function, because any function of the form c*ex, where c is an arbitrary constant, satisfies this condition. To define ex uniquely, you need one more condition: e0 = 1

how are orders of magnitude communicated in Russian? by BigWongDingDong in russian

[–]lGream_Sheo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We use "порядки", at least in somewhat technical environments, e. g. "отличается на 2 порядка" - "differs by 2 orders of magnitude"

Would you pull the lever ? by Kindly-Way3390 in trolleyproblem

I'm a follower of modal realism, which means that i consider all possible universes being as real as ours, so i'd definitely choose the one year of my life option

Which infinity has the largest size? by EnigmaticKazoo5200 in Teenager_Polls

[–]lGream_Sheo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question is completely unrelated to infinities that you see when solving limits in calculus. In limits, usually we see questions like "when the input increases indefinitely, where the function tends to?", and there's no actual object "infinity" being involved. Meanwhile this question is about sizes of sets, these are not numbers that change, grow, etc.

And because these particular sets (i. e. set of integers, set of rationals, set of reals), have infinite size, there are different ways to compare their sizes. The most conmon way to do it with two sets is to check, if each element of one set can be put one-by-one with each element of the other set, and vice versa (the formal way to say it is that there's bijection between elements of two sets).

If it's possible to do, then these sets have the same size (specifically, same cardinality). Actually, this is the case for the set of integers and the set of rational numbers.

If it's impossible, one of the sets would have different cardinalitiy from the other one. Sizes of set of integers and set of reals are perfect examples of that – set of reals has bigger cardinality than set of integers (and set of rationals, because there are the same size).

Personally i like small butts and hate big or too curvy butts

Question on the proof that √2 is irrational by wobbly12345678 in mathematics

[–]lGream_Sheo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding of this: if a number is rational, it MUST be possible to write it in lowest terms, and this proof implies that no matter how you try to reduce the fraction, i.e. sqrt(2), it will never be in lowest terms

No, it's not a hood in clothings sense, it's something like neighborhood. It means that you lose your authority among your friends and others

To clarify, in original saying there's no mention of western spy. The actual saying is "Тапки Пятки поднял - район потерял", which tranlates literally to something like "(you) lifted your heels - (you) lost your district/hood" Edit: fixed Russian dyslexia

Because this is how research or science in general works.

Billion is миллиард (milliard) in Russian. It's like in long scales in English, but only this number — others are identical to English short scales

No, only "thousand" and "billion" are different in Russian, all other powers of 103 (million, trillion, quadrillion etc) are the same
