Hello everyone. Today we will prove theorem about central line X5X6X_5X_6 of triangle. Proof of the Central Line in a Golden Rectangle Construction Statement of the Theorem Let ABCDABCD be a golden rectangle where ABBC=ϕ \frac{AB}{BC} = \phi , and construct the square BCQP BCQP inside it. Reflect P P over D D to obtain E E . Then, the line EB EB coincides with the central line X5X6 X_5X_6 of triangle ABP ABP . Step-by-Step Proof 1. Define the Coordinates We assign coordinates as follows: A=(0,0) A = (0,0) , B=(ϕx,0) B = (\phi x, 0) , C=(ϕx,x) C = (\phi x, x) , D=(0,x) D = (0, x) . The square BCPQ BCPQ ensures P=(ϕx,2x) P = (\phi x, 2x) . The reflection of P P across D D is E=(ϕx,2x) E = (-\phi x, 2x) . 2. Compute the Nine-Point Center X5 X_5 The nine-point center X5 X_5 is the circumcenter of the medial triangle, which consists of the midpoints: M1=(0+ϕx2,0)=(ϕx2,0), M_1 = \left(\frac{0 + \phi x}{2}, 0\right) = \left(\frac{\phi x}{2}, 0\right), \[ M_2 = \left(\f...

Proof of the Area Relation in Right-Angled Triangle and Extouch Triangles

Image
Hello everyone. Today we will prove theorem about area relation in right-angled triangle and extouch triangles. Theorem Statement Let ABC ABC be a right-angled triangle with the right angle at C C . Consider its associated special triangles: The intouch triangle A0B0C0 A_0B_0C_0 formed by the contact points of the incircle. The extouch triangles A1B1C1 A_1B_1C_1 , A2B2C2 A_2B_2C_2 , and A3B3C3 A_3B_3C_3 , corresponding to the excircles touching BC BC , AC AC , and AB AB respectively. Denote their respective areas as T0,T1,T2, T_0, T_1, T_2, and T3 T_3 . Then, the areas satisfy the relation: T3=T0+T1+T2. T_3 = T_0 + T_1 + T_2. Proof Basic Notation Let: a,b,c a, b, c be the sides of ABC \triangle ABC , where c c is the hypotenuse. s s be the semiperimeter: s=a+b+c2. s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}. r r be the inradius (radius of the incircle). rA,rB,rC r_A, r_B, r_C be the exradii opposite to A,B,C A, B, C , respectively. The area ...

Proof of the Theorem Regarding Golden Ratio

Image
 Hello everyone. Today we will prove theorem regarding construction of the golden ratio. Theorem: Given isosceles triangle ABCABC with angle of 3030^{\circ} at vertex CC , inscribed rectangle DEFGDEFG ,whose side DEDE is twice side EFEF, with a side FGFG along the base side ABAB . If the side DEDE is extended to intersect the circumcircle at PP, then EE divides DPDP in the golden ratio. Proof: We prove that E E divides DP DP in the golden ratio, i.e., DPDE=DEEP=ϕ,\frac{DP}{DE} = \frac{DE}{EP} = \phi, where ϕ=1+52 \phi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} . Coordinate System We place the circumcircle of ABC \triangle ABC with center at the origin O(0,0) O(0,0) and radius R R .     C C is at (0,R) (0, R) .     A A and B B lie symmetrically along the x x -axis. Using trigonometry, the coordinates of A A and B B are: \[A = \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}R, -\frac{1}{2}R \right), \quad B = \...

Proof of the product formula for π23\dfrac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}

  Hello everyone.  Today we will prove the product formula for  π23\dfrac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}.  We will use the method of direct proof as a proof method.  Theorem 1:  π23=n=1χ(n)n\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{n}whereχ(n)={1,if n1(mod6)1,if n1(mod6)0,otherwise\text{where} \quad \chi(n)=\begin{cases} 1, & \text{if } n \equiv 1 \pmod{6}\\-1, & \text{if } n \equiv -1 \pmod{6}\\0, & \text{otherwise}\end{cases} Theorem 2:  We haveπ23=5711131719232966121218182430\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}=\frac{5 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 13 \cdot 17 \cdot 19 \cdot 23 \cdot 29 \cdots}{6 \cdot 6 \cdot 12 \cdot 12 \cdot 18 \cdot 18 \cdot 24 \cdot 30 \cdots}expression whose numerators are the sequence of the odd prime numbers greater than 33 and whose denominators are even–even numbers one unit more or less than the corresponding numerators. Proof: By Theorem 1 we know that π23=115+17111+113117+119\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{3}}=1-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{13}-\frac{1}{17}+\frac{1}{19}-\cdots we will have \[\frac{1}{5} \cdo...

Proof that I0(2)I_0(\sqrt{2}) is an irrational number

   Hello everyone.  Today we will prove that   I0(2)I_0(\sqrt{2}) is an irrational number, where I0 I_0 denotes a modified Bessel function of the first kind. We will use the method of contradiction as a proof method. Theorem 1:    I0(2)=n=01(n!)22nI_0(\sqrt{2})=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(n!)^22^n} Theorem 2:    I0(2)I_0(\sqrt{2})   is an irrational number. Proof: Suppose that  I0(2)I_0(\sqrt{2})  is a rational number. Then  I0(2)I_0(\sqrt{2})  can be written in the form pq \dfrac{p}{q} where p p   and q q are coprime integers such that q1q \ge 1. By Theorem 1 we can write the following equality: q!(q1)!p2q=n=0(q!)22q(n!)22nq!(q-1)!p2^q=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(q!)^22^q}{(n!)^22^n} . Since left hand side of this equality is an integer the sum n=q+1(q!)22q(n!)22n\displaystyle\sum_{n=q+1}^{\infty} \frac{(q!)^22^q}{(n!)^22^n} which is greater than zero 00  also must be an integer. Clearly for nq+1n \ge q+1 we have , \(\...

Proof that the set of prime numbers is infinite

Hello everyone. Today we will prove that the set of prime numbers is infinite.  We will use the method of contradiction as a proof method.  We'll also use the theorem of French mathematician Eduardo Lucas.  Theorem (Lucas): Every prime factor of Fermat number Fn=22n+1F _ n = 2 ^ {2 ^ n} + 1; (n>1n > 1) is of the form k2n+2+1k2 ^{n + 2} + 1.  Theorem: The set of prime numbers is infinite. Proof: Suppose opposite, that there are just finally many prime numbers and we denote the largest prime by pp. Then FpF_p must be a composite number because Fp>pF_p>p. By Lucas theorem we know that there is a prime number qq of the form k2p+2+1k2 ^{p + 2} + 1 that divides FpF_p. But q>pq>p , thus we arrived at  a contradiction. Hence, the set of prime numbers is infinite. \blacksquare

Proof that a natural number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers

Hello everyone.  Today we will prove that any natural number greater than 11 can be expressed as a product of a prime number and number one or as a product of few prime numbers.  We will use the method of mathematical induction as a proof method.  Theorem: Let nn be a natural number greater than 11 .  Then nn can be expressed as the product of one prime number and number one or as the product of few prime numbers. Proof: Note that if nn is a prime number, the statement is automatically proved because any number can be written as the product of that number and number one.  1. Base case (n = 2)  Since 22 is a prime number the statement is automatically proved.  2. Induction hypothesis (n = m)  Suppose that kN,2km\forall k \in \mathbb {N}, \quad 2 \le k \le m , kk can be expressed as the product of a prime number and number one or as a product of few prime numbers.  3. Inductive step (n = m + 1)  Using the assum...
