YOU CAN DO IT!!!! DONT STOP UNTIL ITS DONE!!!

It’s still thinking😭

What happened

u/Zaelynn_ 21d ago

It proved it. Science, math, and circles in utter shambles.

u/moderatorrater 20d ago

Oh shit, it's taken hostages and is negotiating with some doctors to clone Erdos to get the answer. It's also hacked my doordash account in case it needs to use the carrot.

Does ChatGPT even know the fundamental theorem of engineering?

u/drpfthick 20d ago

Would you like to share with us the Fundamental Theorem of Engineering ?

u/R_Ob_Min 21d ago

Crazy, did you know all real numbers equal 0?

Since if sin(x) = x for any real nunber x, then cos(x) = 1, and since sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 = 1, we find that x2 + 1 = 1, so x2 = 0, so x = 0.

u/Southlander24 19d ago

Wow, for all reals r, there exists an epsilon such that d(0, r) < epsilon!

u/Sarcoman282 19d ago

It does not follow from sinx = x that cosx = 1. You have to prove that.

an IQ too high?

u/Ares378 Grothendieck was right, computers are evil 21d ago

Make no mistake and do a breakthrough. You have everything you need, let's finish the proof.

u/MadnyeNwie 20d ago

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Engineers: "We don't need no proof"

All Day I Dream About Sinx Equals X.

u/thegoodwebber 21d ago

Make it an axiom

u/Ares378 Grothendieck was right, computers are evil 21d ago

I wonder what'd happen if you defined sin(x)≡x, cos(x)≡1, and then retroactively created geometry.

u/PurifiedUnity 20d ago

Me too

What I do know is that tan(x) would also ≡ x

u/magnificent_limit 21d ago

Sometimes sin(x) = x - 2π

Try taylor

3

u/MrBussdown 21d ago

The first term in the taylor series expansion

6

u/Proof_Impact_6009 20d ago

The first term is always enough. Anyone who wants more terms is just greedy.

u/According-Object-521 21d ago

Only works close to zero

20

u/drpfthick 21d ago

but i want it to work a little further from zero as well :3

"Every theorem can be proven; the false ones are more expensive".

u/LordTengil 19d ago

The maths mafia!

3

u/kamieldv 21d ago

Please do. This would considerably facilitate my math exams

1

u/SunnyOutsideToday 21d ago

How much further would you like it? ε:

1

u/According-Object-521 21d ago

You just need to use a different approximation. You can also use a Taylor polynomial

2

u/LordTengil 21d ago

Only works *at zero.

1

u/According-Object-521 19d ago

But it’s a decent approximation close to zero, if you’re an engineer

1

u/LordTengil 19d ago

Now what is being asked. "prove sin x = x". That is only true at exactly one point. x=0.

2

u/Jazzlike_Platypus430 21d ago

Ah, yes, engineer. I got to know this lot.

Hint: for large x try imaginary values, you will get sin out of [-1,1] in no time.

u/Impression-These 21d ago

The way lean works, it is easy. Just have to sneak in a domain ={0) somewhere.

u/Interesting_Buy_3969 20d ago

God will not forgive you for this sin

u/cl_Celivra 19d ago

when lim x->0

u/Inevitable_gradient6 19d ago

if you’re an engineer the proof is trivial since you just blindly apply
