An algorithm generates numbers. Starting with the number 1, there is a N/(2N+1) chance that it will generate a new number, otherwise, it would generate an existing number with equal probability. Given that on the tenth move, a multiple of 3 is generated, what are the odds that on the 20th move, the number 8 would be the number generated?

A chessier one:

Given that a chess game is 69 moves long, what is the expected value of how far the white pieces moved?

one square diagonal = sqrt(2)
one knight hop = sqrt(5)

This one may require some advanced knowledge in mathematics:
find the value of \int_{0}^{1} logx/(x^5+1) dx
Enjoy solving it

Write a generalized function about the series of onestroke possible for regular polygons inscribed in other regular polygons using their midpoints as vertices. Define X as the number of polygons and Y as the sides of each polygon. Same path but different rotations/flips count as a different permutation.

Good luck :D

there are 2 types of comments
genuine tormenting hell
or what is 9+10?

I'll start with the easy ones:

What is 1÷0?
Undefined. Not infinity. Common misconception, backfires in limits

@ForumMathSolver said in #6:

Answer: (D) I and II only

Explanation:
We have:
C = 5/9 (F - 32)
or, F - 32 = C x 9/5
or, F = 1.8C + 32

Differentiating with respect to C (not required but just displaying lol)
dF/dC = 1.8
Thus, for a 1 degree rise in temperature in the Celsius scale, we have a 1.8 degree rise in temperature in the Fahrenheit scale.

Conversely, dC/dF = 1/1.8
or, dC/dF = 1/(9/5)
or, dC/dF = 5/9
Thus, for a 1 degree rise in temperature in the Fahrenheit scale, we have a 5/9 degree rise in temperature in the Celsius scale.

Therefore, statements I and II are correct.
Statement III is false because it obviously contradicts statement II.

Alternate method (without calculus):
Assume C' = C + 1, and F' = F + 1, assuming 1 degree increase in temperature of both scales, and then substitute both seperately into the equation, along with C and F, respectively.
This method is simpler but longer.
you don't even need derivatives for this
common sense
or if you dont have that
just plug in 0 for C, increase C by 1, see what happens to F and do it for all 3 options.
or
if you don't have time
just use common sense
no way this is the hardest one

you wanna see my one of hardest problem in my exam in highschool?
The base of the pyramid of the lattice ABCS is an equilateral triangular ABC with side length 6. On the lateral edges BS and CS are located points D and E, respectively, such that |BD | = |CE | and |DE | = 4 (see figure). The plane ADE is perpendicular to the plane of the lateral face BCS of the pyramid.

have fun

by the way, the link for exam with I took form

ok but wouldn't this be 0
the graph is below y=0 while 0 < x < 1 since log(x) when 0 < x < 1 is negative, and x^5+1 is positive when x>-1@PenguinWhack271828e said in #21:
