Holy kek this /sqt/ is on life support

Don't worry, it'll be up and going right after spring break.

Can someone do my homework, it's a geogebra question thing making a construction for the Riemann integrals, thanks y'all <3

>>16947913
If you can construct the diagram like this, that could work out alright in Geogebra

has qc surpassed the 40 qubit number or whatever it was 5 years ago? I mean actual qubits that can be entangled and used, not some meme marketing number.
>>
>>16953175
ask ai
>>
>>16953180
ai is bought and paid for by qc companies and their not useful qubit counts

Did he use LLM to rewrite his script? The style just gives me LLM vibe.

What is the most elegant "triangle inequality check"?
>>
>>16957721
s = (a + b + c)/2
If (s – a)*(s – b)*(s – c) > 0,
then the side lengths form a triangle.
Otherwise they don't.
>>
>>16957721
Basically the same as >>16957863, but just check if (a+b-c)(a-b+c)(-a+b+c) > 0, cause triangle equality says all 3 terms are positive and it isn't possible for 2 to be negative. No need to consider area

I want to make a borax mixture, as explained here: https://alsnetbiz.com/homeimprovement/homemade.html (the "equivalent to Bora-Care". instructions under "Prepare the concentrate")
I plan on using propylene glycol, and heating the mix in an electric kettle made of glass and/or a ceramic pot.
is this propylene glycol as safe as the instructions say? is the borates mix safe enough to reuse the pot, or should I only keep it for chemical stuff in the future?
>>
>>16958715
>propylene glycol
they put it in food and cosmedic products, and is a laxative
>>
>>16958904
yeah, that's why I chose to use it instead of the ethylene.
still, I want to be as cautious as possible. that's why I'm asking.
what about the borax and boric acid? also wonder about the gases. at 260°F I can imagine some nasty things might form and fly from the mix?

>(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(-a+b+c)
= (a + b – c)*(a + c – b)*(b + c – a)
= (a + b + c – 2*c)*(a + b + c – 2*b)*(a + b + c – 2*a)
= (2*s – 2*c)*(2*s – 2*b)*(2*s – 2*a)
= 2*(s – c)*2*(s – b)*2*(s – a)
= 2^3*(s – a)*(s – b)*(s – c)
>>
>>16958170
>(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(-a+b+c)
= (a + b – c)*(a + c – b)*(b + c – a)
= (a + b + c – 2*c)*(a + b + c – 2*b)*(a + b + c – 2*a)
= (2*s – 2*c)*(2*s – 2*b)*(2*s – 2*a)
= 2*(s – c)*2*(s – b)*2*(s – a)
= 2^3*(s – a)*(s – b)*(s – c)

No harmful gases should come off, borates will not decompose from the heat and they wont react with anything in your mixture.

Dont reuse the pot for making food borates are toxic to eat keep that pot for chemistry/junk
