The Puzzle:

5 Pirates
5 pirates of different ages have a treasure of 100 gold coins.

On their ship, they decide to split the coins using this scheme:

The oldest pirate proposes how to share the coins, and ALL pirates (including the oldest) vote for or against it.

If 50% or more of the pirates vote for it, then the coins will be shared that way. Otherwise, the pirate proposing the scheme will be thrown overboard, and the process is repeated with the pirates that remain.

As pirates tend to be a bloodthirsty bunch, if a pirate would get the same number of coins if he voted for or against a proposal, he will vote against so that the pirate who proposed the plan will be thrown overboard.

Assuming that all 5 pirates are intelligent, rational, greedy, and do not wish to die, (and are rather good at math for pirates) what will happen?

how is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]?

How is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/ [1 - tan A tan B]? Method 1: Let A = 30 deg and B = 45 deg. LHS = tan (30+45) = tan 75 = 3.732050808 RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] = [tan 30 + tan 45]/[1 - tan 30 tan 45] = [0.577350269 + 1]/[1 - 0.577350269*1] = 1.577350269/0.42264973 = 3.732050808 = LHS Proved. Method 2: tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] =[(sin A/cos A) + (sin B/cos B)]/[1-(sin A/cos A)(sin B/cos B) = [sin A cos B + cos A sin B]/[cos A cos B][1 - sin A sin B/(cos A cos B)] = sin (A+B)/{[cos A cos B][cos A cos B - sin A sin B]/(cos A cos B)} = sin (A+B)/[cos A cos B - sin A sin B = sin (A+B)/cos (A+B) = tan (A+B) = LHS. Proved. Thanks. source:Quara

What are some mind-blowing facts about mathematics?

Prime Generating Polynomials : The polynomial,  n 2 + n + 41 n 2 + n + 41  can be used to produce 40 primes for consecutive integer values 0≤n≤39.  This property was discovered by Euler . Similarly, the incredible formula,  n 2 − 79 n + 1601 n 2 − 79 n + 1601  was discovered, which produces 80 primes for the consecutive values 0≤n≤79! Kaprekar’s Constant : 6174 is known as Kaprekar’s Constant , after the Indian Mathematician D.R. Kaprekar. Take any four-digit number, using at least two different digits (Leading zeros are allowed.) Arrange the digits in descending and then in ascending order, to get two four-digit numbers, adding leading zeroes if necessary. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number and go back to step 2. The above process will always reach the fixed number, 6174, taking at most 7 iterations. Try it yourself! ( Note that after the first subtraction or the subsequent subtractions, the result obtained is always a multi...

What is the application of linear equations in two variables in daily life?

In life X = our happiness, life, dreams, desires etc Y = caring for others, other's happiness, value we give to others. In daily life X + Y = Compromise, sacrifice, adjustments but still maintaining happiness of X & Y factors. Stay happy stay blessed Thank you  They are used in solving linear inequalities, which are then used to solve linear programming problems. Now, linear programming, as widely known solves problems about many situations in daily life. It helps you know which food products to buy for requisite nutrition at the least cost, how to travel max. distance in least fuel, how to price your products for a max. profit, and many more
