The ABC conjecture was first proposed in the 1980s and concerns a fundamental property of numbers, based around the
simple equation a +
b = c. For a long time, mathematicians believe that the conjecture was true, but nobody had ever been able to prove it.
(a) Solve
simple equations involving fractions, e.g. x / 3 - 4 = x (
b) Solve
equations where the variable is in the denominator, e.g. 1 / (1 - 3x) = x (c) Solve
equations requiring cross multiplication, e.g 3 / (2x + 1) = 4 / (3 - x)
Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given
equation into
simpler forms, until an equivalent
equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a =
b results (where a and
b are different numbers).
Your only evidence to support this claim is a
simple math
equation of A —
B = C, A being total global emissions,
B being man made emissions and C being the difference.
The author now takes the
equation for the «source function» (
B) from the
simple model and inserts it into the «complete» solution.
