How did you get to sec(x) = ½ (t+1/t) ?

sec(x) - tan(x) = 1 / (sec(x) + tan(x)) = 1/t

This is no longer a fun thred

What I think might be fun is a new logic/story math problem about WDW on a regular basis.

[sanstitre_has_left_the_building]

That’s not an obvious step. Either you’re a genius, or you’ve seen that step before.

fun

I don’t think this means what you think it does

Math is what you people want?

It’s really not, to be honest

@missoverexcited

It’s really not

Too late. You opened Pandora’s box.

NOW WHO IS REFERENCING BOXES MATT?

ALSO: OH, IT’S CLEAR FORUM BOT, IT IS CLEAR.

[missoverexcited]

My kind of maths.

[missoverexcited]

Desperate attempt to distract from the maths.

I’m not sure how to read this. I mean…I’d be willing to bet all that math you know and teach is something you’ve seen before as well!

Just to be clear: You don’t want maths but you’re fine with chocolate candies pleasuring each other. You know, sexually.

[missoverexcited]

Wow you have a dirty mind. The yellow guy is tying the red guy’s shoelace!

Actually, no. There are problems that I’ve never seen before which require a technique I’ve never seen before that I have to figure out. The step I’m discussing with @Tall_Paul1 is one such example. I approached it in a different way, but got the same result.

Maths is not just parroting things you’ve seen before.

Maths is not just parroting things you’ve seen before.

Actually, that’s EXACTLY what it is. Even when you apply those things you’ve seen before in a new way you’ve not.

[sanstitre_has_left_the_building]

How are you so wrong about everything? It’s quite a skill.

Your ludicrous claim suggests that there is no creativity in mathematics.

[ryan1]

No. It assumes I understand how math works.

EVERY SINGLE “development” in math requires detailing what prior math theorem, corollary, axiom, what have you. I can then make short cuts because I know it is all based on math that have previously been proven true.

When we have to a “proof” in math, every step must be based on prior knowledge.

Ah. Fine.

You don’t.

[ryan1]

Tell me how, exactly, I am wrong? If it so obvious.
