UPDATED TO $20!



All variables are positive constants. Also, L>mu and M>s_k

a) Find formulas for alpha, xi, kappa, and c in terms of the remaining variables that satisfy the inequalities, where the expression for alpha does not involve radicals (roots)

b) Find formulas for alpha, xi, kappa, and c in terms of the remaining variables that satisfy the inequalities, where the value of kappa is as small as possible

$10 for each part, willing to pay separately. Can use an escrow service.

Offer valid until tomorrow, April 23rd!

EDIT: Will pay $20 for EITHER a) or b) !!!! Extend deadline until 8pm UTC April 24th.

Looks like algebra to me! Smiley
It's just variable manipulation, no physical meaning.

I can do this job and will PM you the results in few minutes. However, I can type those variables but can write them in words instead.

don't be scared by all those variables, it may look complicated, but it's pretty easy, just a normal inequality

Why hate maths? It is infact the best subject as there is nothing you don't need to memorize anything besides the formulas. This problem (if I got it right) was quite simple but the use of too many variables made it complex.

Well, I dont want a debate here but this is very incorrect reason, someone who wants to gain knowledge can't be stopped by such fullish barriers. Remember " Its not your mistake if you were born poor but its your fault if you die poor".

Checking the solution!

Am I correct that you are suggesting the following?

k=1

alpha=(u + L)/2uL

e =4uL - 1

c=(sk/m - 1)/(1 + 1/(4uL - 1))*2u²L/(u + L)²

EDIT: I still need to check it, but I don't think it will work, since your first three lines contain a mistake...
1/k - 2alpha*u*L/(u + L) <=0;
1/k <= 2alpha*uL/(u + L);
k<=(u + L)/2alpha*uL

EDIT2: This solution does not work, since for u = 1, L =2, the second (original) equation does not hold.
(1+4*1*2-1)*(3)/(2*1*2) - 2/(1+2) = 5.3333... which is not <=0

Is the calculation for some purpose? Are you trying to let someone else donyou homework Wink? Or are just trying to have fun when people burn their brain juice away?
