The correct way to pronounce it too

Kansas to the minus one? One over Kansas?

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

Arc kansas

Kansas^-1 (x) not kansas (x)^-1

Kansas inverse?

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah it's a play how arcsin(x) = sin^-1(x), arccos = cos^-1(x), and arctan = tan^-1(x)

[-] onion@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

So one over Kansas times x not Kansas times one over x?

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Kansas is a function name, not a variable in this notation. Otherwise it would be (Kansa/s)(x) which simplifies to (a^2) (k)(n)(x)

America explain!

Kansas and Our-Kansas.

[-] mossy_@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I'm not pointing any fingers, but the correct way to pronounce it is how it used to be written: "Arkansaw"

Ur-kansas

No u

Next time someone brings up Kansas in conversation (why would they), and if they imply nothing is there, you can contradict their statements easily. Kansas is invertible and therefore nonzero. QED.

Edit: Oh actually it's a function here never mind.
