what about 9/3 -3 = 5/6
[/QUOTE]

That doesn't make sense ... 9/3 is three ... so 9/3 - 3 is 0. and 0=5/6 isnt correct.

[QUOTE=ridethelightning]**** man why no msn

what about 9/3 -3 = 5/6

it seems after every post luke has he does the :amaze: thingy

[QUOTE=I0Play0Bass]Heyy guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while...school's really bogging me down. For the first time in my life, I'll say it:
I hate calculus. I hate calculus. I hate calculus.

[QUOTE=Basskiid]Hey Gaslight I got 2 questions

1 ) Do you make your own avatars

2 ) What exactly IS Gaslight?[/QUOTE]

1) Sometimes, but I didn't draw this one. Only made it into a .gif

2) My username :p. That's all really.

help
9/3 - 3 = 5/6

would you get the common demonatnater which is 6... then what[/QUOTE]

You'd multiply all expressions by 6, a like so:

(9/3)6 - (3*6)=6(5/6)

Then, use simple algebra to figure out what happens.

First expression: the three divides into the six twice, leaving us with 9*2, which is 18.

Second expression: 3*6 = 18

Third expression: The 6's drop out, leaving us with 5.

18-18 is not equal to 5. Either you didn't give us a variable or your math book just sucks.

Way to go and steal my thunde :(




:amaze:

^ Later man...

Who wants to do my calculus homework for me? I only wish I could take algebra 2 again. So incredibly easy...

School has been a bitch for me as well.

maybe the 9 is an A then mmm ill just leave it

alright thx alot
final question
a rope with a length of 20feet is cut into 3 pieces, the second piece is 4 feet longer than the first. the third piece is tiwce as long as the second piece, give the lengh of each piece and show the algebraic expression used to solve this equation
]


after this i am done!!!!




:amaze:
ay basskid i notice ****

[QUOTE=Luke19Boarder]Could ya help me out on these? I need to factor the following equations:

(m+5)^4 - 5 = m

and

a^8 - 8a^5 + 12a^2 = 0




thanks :)




:amaze:[/QUOTE]
(m+5)^4 - 5 = m
(m+5)(m+5)=(m^2+10m+25)(m+5)=(m^3+5m^2+10m^2+50m+25m+125)
=(m^3+15m^2+75m+125)(m+5)=m^4+5m^3+15m^3+75m^2+75m^2+375m+125m+625-5
=m^4+20m^3+150m^2+500m+620

so i did all that...why does it not seem right to me???

Let x equal the first piece.
The second piece is 4 feet loinger than the first, so the second is x+4.
The third is twice as long as the second piece, which means 2(x+4).

The total length is 20 feet. x + x + 4 + 2(x+4) = 20

x+x+4+2x+8 = 20
Add like terms.

4x + 12 = 20
Use the differential theorem to get the x's by themselves (AKA subtract by 12 on both sides).

4x= 20-12
4x=8

x=2

That means the first piece is 2, the second is 2+4, the third is 2(2+4)

First=2
Second=6
Third=12

I rule.

so i did all that...why does it not seem right to me???[/QUOTE]

I didn'r really follow that, but it seems that you went from (m+5)^4 and turned it into (m+5)(m+5)...

School hasn't been a bitch for me :cool:.

Tommorow is my last high school exam ever.

Luke, what's the problem? Type it out again and I'll try to solve it...

Hi guys, im really bored and tired, i think im gonna go sleep. and if not, maybe ill post more stupidity , cause no one likes me :( lates.

thx alot guys im now done HW for the night!!
spiff n gav get rep points, so do you luke
but none for you basskiid

Wo0t, I don't really like rep points, but whatever...it's the thought that counts. No problem, man. My pleasure. Do you understand how to do those types of problems now?

There are 2 ... I need to factor and show work for both.

(m+5)^4 -5 = m


and


a^8 - 8a^5 + 12a^2 = 0




:amaze:

it seems i can't do my own homework though, i guess i'll get help in class tomorrow from the teacher.
