Delay Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) x = 1.2x Does this have a solution? I've tried a bunch of approaches and none work. (x does indeed cross 1.2x twice, but I can't find a ways to calculate these points) It's not like this is expected from me by someone, but I'd really like to know.

Not only does it have a solution, it has two solutions! Have you tried finding a limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two solutions are (roughly) x=1.272 and x=14.7798, but I know this because Google can display up to four functions in a graph. My problem is numerically solving the equation without graphs.

You have two ways : 1) x(i+1) = 1.2^(x(i)) (goes to 1.25773454137653) 2) x(i+1) = log^(1.2)(x(i)) (goes to 14.7674583809829) NOTE : If you "cross the beams" though (ie. inserting 15 to eq. 1 or inserting 1 to eq. 2), the system will diverge quickly. So it is quite tricky. Edit : I learned this first when I was learning about solving problems with star magnitudes that has extinction in it (one side logarithmic, one side linear). It is very easy to do with a calculator that can insert "Ans" to the formula, you just mindlessly press "=" as quickly and see whether it diverges or converges. You can even use it on "normal" equations (polynomials). And for equations that doesn't feature an "x" in the formula, just insert " + x - x" to it.

putnamto Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I drank every day for thirteen years, everybody said the sober life would be some glorious magnificent life changer. Been sober over a year and I still feel like crap all day every day, and I'm always extremely stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfox101 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 @putnamto Drinking doesn't make you happy it just stops you dealing with things, ruins your life, ruins relationships, splits families apart in some cases. The good thing is being sober dealing with life's problems and living a healthy lifestyle, so yes it is a good thing you have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSEP Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The orthodontist put a filling in a cavity (i didn't know about, and she didn't tell me about either) in my teeth, wich must be way overflown, because now i can't even put my teeth together anymore. Should i go back? Is this normal? Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dentist or medically trained at all (so really I'm probably not helpful), but yeah thats probably not normal. I think you should go back.... As for a complaint - I have meat and stuff sitting around I need to cook. I also need to cook some spiedie's once I have the recipe *ahem cough cough hack wheeeze* Edited May 9, 2018 by qzgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d definitely go back and say something isn’t right there Sometimes after you get braces they'll put fillings in to make sure your teeth are perfectly level. My fillings seemed a bit to much but they balanced my teeth, and after a few weeks or so, the fillings ground down to a shape that seemed more natural. @NSEP, the filling thing is perfectly normal and the problem will go away by either grinding down the filling over time or just getting used to it.

DeltaDizzy Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 While we are on the subject of braces, I hate the rubber bands. Opening my mouth is painful, as is keeping it closed. When its closed it just hurts less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening my mouth is painful, as is keeping it closed. When its closed it just hurts less. Retainers are worse. For me at least. Braces you eventually get used to, but not retainers. And you have to take them out every time you eat. Eventually you may only have to wear them at night, though. Maybe my issue was that it was applying pressure on my fillings, but still.
