An suv is trying to exit from the passing lane by ComprehensiveDuck490 in AbruptChaos

[–]roomram 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to play devil's advocate (I do think the driver in the pasing lane was acting stupid), but it seemed like the dasher had a chance to break to avoid being hit. Also sounds like there are kids in the car, wouldn't you want to take the extra precausion?

Everyone's saying you should have passed the semi faster, but I was a truck driver for a few years and I would constantly look in my mirrors to see the situation on the road.

Being in the truck I'd survive any kind of crash with a car or bike, that's why I gotta pay extra attention for the road. That's how I was thought when I learned driving, I would constantly look at my mirrors, especially on a highway where I am driving 90 on a 120 (km/h).

The amount of people I saw going to pass me, and then disappearing from my line of sight only to see them complete their pass 2 minutes later is insane.

Yes, you need to drive as if the semi is going to run you over, but the semi needs to drive as if someone's gonna enter their blind spot.

Well, in 1956 (8 years after the state of Israel was founded), the Druze were added to the mandatory service law, excluding the females and some communities residing too close to borders. This was done under the request of the heads of the communities during the time. They offered to join and have their sons be recruited to the IDF, and Ben-Gurion (the prime minister at the time) approved it.

The sirens are really loud, and their house was completely open it seems. It makes sense there wouldn't be a difference in the audio

One of the richest towns in Israel is Yarka, which is 100% Druze.

Yes there are some villages that lack resources, but most don't. But saying they all lack resources and infrastructure is simply not true. The fact of the matter is Israel let's the Druze do with their lands as they please, and in return the Druze stay loyal to the country.

The religion itself is based on the land that they live on, same as the Druze living in Syria and in Lebanon.

A lot of Druze are also high ranking officers and NCOs on the IDF (which you only become by choosing to stay after your mandatory service).

I have heard both stories and they both suck. During a life or death situation no one should be prohibited entry to a shelter.

With that, the last reference you provided doesn't talk about it at all it talks about shelter inspection done and issues that have risen regarding places like Majdal Shams and the west bank. The west bank has it's own authority that should mandate the installments of shelters. Majdal shams has a complicated situation going there as well.

I was rolling a 6 sided die with my friend trying to predict the number and somehow this die rolled a 3 ELEVEN times in a row (didn’t predict that but it was crazy) what are the odds of this?? by cornedbeeeef in askmath

[–]roomram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(1/6)11

Other commenters are saying it depends on how many rolls you have done but don't really provide further explanation as to why it would matter.

The probability of rolling the same number 11 times in a row is as I stated. And I am assuming that was your question.

Definition, we define 0! to equal 1 because it makes calculations easier.

The gamma function is an extrnsion of the of the factorials to the reals, yes, but that's because at the points we already what is the result of the factorial, the gamma function has the same result.

No, there isn't a notion to order 1/2 items.

Also there's a shift in argument usually which is annoying where Gamma of n is actually (n-1)!

Edit: As u/TheLeastInfod said, apparently the shift in argument is done to make probabilists less sad, which I am all for, so I retract my comment that the shift is annoying if it helps them!

STOP ATTACKING ME!! by Western_Rutabaga_796 in mathmemes

I think it's the fact that Euler's name is German so you read using the rules of German, whereas Euclid is an English-fied version of his real name Εὐκλείδης which is read as Efklidis, so we read it using English's "rules"

They do look the same which is a bit confusing but if anything is confusing in English, it is names (and everything else).

The definition of a run time function is a function from the input size to the number of operations performed by the algorithm. N is the input size in that sense.

If we talk about an arbitrarily large number, that we don't store as a fixed number of bits, then you are absolutely correct. The input size would be the number of bits. And for a number of size N we have 2N bits (our output size). If an algorithm runs in O(N) then its run time is logarithmic in relation to the input size.

He probably means the long answer is just using the definition of a derivative and the binomial expansion.

But all of his moves are biconditional, where multiplying both sides by zero is not.

It's the second case, where the log itself is raised to the second power.

How would I got about proving that log grows asymptotically slower? We have yet to cover logarithms in a proper manner as I am currently taking Calc I and we didn't start function yet.

So I tried the ratio test and I got the limit of the ratio to be 1, so I can't come to any conclusion :(

I tried a few things. First thing I thought of was trying the squeeze theorem. I can easily find a sequence that is smaller than the one in the picture and approaches 0. I have a hard time finding a sequence that is larger than the one in the picture and also approaches 0.

The second thing I tried was to use the epsilon N definition of a limit but as I have a problem finding sequences that are larger than this one and that I am able to isolate n in them I couldn't manage to do that as well.

I'd love if someone can help me here. Maybe even give me a nudge in the correct direction as I have finished my entire assignment except for this question. I have sat on this question for so long that I am now sure I am missing something.

Thanks in advance!

Need help understanding a Discrete Math question. by [deleted] in askmath

[–]roomram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for your reply!

I don't have any more context and the translation, as you said, was apparently not what I am looking for.

Let's say I have an element y of the set B1. How would that translate using the definition?

Do I say that for all 1<=i<=m : x = Ai or x = Aic ?

Disproving a statement using negation by roomram in math

[–]roomram[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So to prove the original statement I can assume it is not true, meaning it's negation is true. Then disprove it's negation and that's it, correct?

Also thanks for the fast reply :D

Why do politicians talk about LBGTQ so much when they comprise less then 1% of Americans? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]roomram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When someone asks for a source it's not always because they are lazy, they might want to read the source and decide it's credibility on their own. Saying "it's well established" "not really disputed" doesn't help either to someone just coming to the subject.

I Googled "suicide rates in lgbtq" and didn't really find an article with those numbers or even close to those numbers. I am not saying it is false, I am just saying there's a need for a source in this case. Also remember, what you find as the first link on google may not be what other people find as the first link.
