      If you’re saying two variables are equal, then x=x is valid. The only issue with this is it doesn’t indicate the restriction at x=0. This is a “hole” in the function since anything/0 is undefined. For all other cases the equation holds true.

  What if I told you that it works for any number 𝑥 you replace 2 with? (Except for 0 but still working for 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝑥→0)

    … where x is positive.

    Otherwise it has an imaginary component and is complex.

      Nope, it still works even then.

  Observe the identities

  a / b = a × b^(-1)
  

  and

  sqrt(a) = a ^ (1/2)
  

  and derive

    2 / sqrt(2)
  = 2 / 2^(1/2)
  = 2 × 2^(-1/2)
  = 2 ^ (1 + -1/2)
  = 2 ^ ( -1/2 )
  = sqrt(2)

    Neat breakdown! Can you explain why this line =2^(1+ -1/2) =>2^(-1/2)
    shouldn’t it be 2^(1/2) or am I missing something? Second guessing myself here lol

    • bleistift2@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No, that’s a mistake. Incredible how many mistakes one can make in a simple derivation.

      Thanks for pointing it out.

  This isn’t intuitive to people?

  2/sqrt(2) = ( sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) ) / sqrt(2)
  

  Then cancelling out one of the sqrt(2)s in numerator with the sqrt(2) in the denominator, you’re left with sqrt(2).

  I do a lot of toodling around OpenSCAD, though, and sqrt(2) tends to come up a lot because, you know, Pythagoras and right triangles and all that.

    Also pops up a lot in basic electrical engineering as the conversion factor between amplitude and RMS value of sine waves

    1/sqrt(2) and 0.5 * sqrt(2) both being 0.707 always blows my mind even though it’s basic algebra
