    Forming the most general two qubit entangled state & parametrizing it.

    I have seen four two qubit entangled states of the form: $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left | 00 \right > \pm \left | 11 \right >$ $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left | 01 \right > \pm \left | 10 \right >$ I want to write a most general two qubit entangled state. I presume it can be of the form: $...

    Ants problem involving combinatorics.

    1. There are x distinguishable ants and there are x pots full of food. Due to the smell, the ants arrange themselves in a circle on the circular rim of each pot. In how many ways can they do this? note: Any number of pots can be free of ants. For example all the ants can be on the circular...

    How to show that this is divergent?

    Multiply and divide by (n+2)^{\frac{1}{2}}+n^{\frac{1}{2}} After simplification you will get, \frac{2}{n^{\frac{1}{2}}[1+(1+\frac{2}{n})]} Now use the comparision test, by comparing with \sum \frac{1}{n^{\frac{1}{2}}} which diverges by P-test.

    How to evaluate this indefinite integral?

    I just realized I made a blunder in calculation. That substitution yields \int \frac{\sin^2\theta}{cos \theta}d \theta=\int \frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos \theta} d\theta and finally it is equal to, \int \sec \theta d\theta-\int \cos\theta d\theta = \ln...

    How to evaluate this indefinite integral?

    I don't get it. if we take x^3 inside we get, \int \sqrt{\frac{x^4-1}{x^6}}dx=\int \sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}-\frac{1}{x^6}}dx

    How to evaluate this indefinite integral?

    Homework Statement \int \frac{\sqrt{x^4-1}}{x^3}dx Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution tried substituting x^4 = \sec^2 \theta to get rid of square root but it was of no use because, I got another complex integral \int \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^{\frac{3}{4}}...

    Number of roots of tanh(ax) = x

    Thanks , its so obvious now. The slope is at x = 0 is beta. So, if beta<1 the slope keeps decreasing and never gets a chance to intersect y = x again. But beta > 1, tanh(beta*x) stays > (y = x) but due to decreasing slope, intersects y = x again at two places x = + and - r (if r is a root)...

    Number of roots of tanh(ax) = x

    hi tiny-tim, The shape of tanh(βx) is nearly straight line near origin and has horizontal asymptotes at y = 1 and y = -1 The shape of x is straight line through origin , slope = 45 degrees. so x = 0 is definitely a root. how to find it there are more roots?

    Is there actually such thing as center of mass in polar coordinates?

    You can find the formulas yourself by suitable substitution in integral for x-bar and y-bar. and using from both of them try to get separate integrals for r and theta

    Two masses under mutual attraction

    :biggrin: I get the same answer by considering, F = -kx and using k = \frac{dF}{dx} ==> k = \frac{2Gm_{1}m_{2}}{x^3} and T = {2 \pi} \sqrt { \frac{\mu}{k}} At \frac{T}{4} Collison occurs, so t = \frac{T}{4} = {\frac{\pi...

    Two masses under mutual attraction

    Thanks. I had doubts but I just got carried away because its easy to solve after making that wrong step :D I finally made the substitution you suggested and got an integral of form A \int_{0}^{d} \sqrt{\frac{x}{d-x}} dx =t And I solved it to get t = \frac{\pi d}{2}...
