Stupid math problem from facebook post


Recommended Posts

Posted

My wife backed up my answer of 1.

Then I showed her all the arguments you guys made. And I went to this site:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/websearch/kZkTv_WTSxA

...only to find alot more arguing about what the correct answer was. Then my (electronic engineering) wife of mine started second guessing herself, and got out her TI-89. She amends her answer to 9, then proceeds to exclaim her disbelief that anyone could get an answer other than 9. YGBFSM!

My head hurts...

my wife said 9, i said 1, guess who had to admit they were wrong?

My Ti-84 help get me through all of my math classes, I learned to never argue with it. I believe the people at Texas Instruments are MUCH smarter than me and so is their calculator!

I mean it hasnt let me down yet when designing and building a box!

lol dude I'm in school right now working on a degree in computer engineering and I was second guessing myself too lol

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

6 / 2 (1+2)

6 / 2 (3)

3 (3)

9

Wrong

The way I remember is always work out the shit between ()

You need to get rid of them then divide.

So 1 is right answer I would say

the stuff in parenthesis is worked first....than multiplication and division is worked next....the 2 is outside the parenthesis so it doesn't get done with the parenthesis, its counted as multiplication
Yeah I know but I thought you had to get rid of the parenthesis first before doing anything else. So first

6/2(3)

Then 6/6 so you got rid of parenthesis

So you get 1 but could be I'm wrong I had math like this at school

3x(2x^2-17^5) + 7x^3(45x - 70x^6)

I SUCKED AT IT LOL

lol i hear ya man but naw 2(3) can be read as 2*3....its multiplication, so it follows the multiplication and division from left to right

Yeah you're right I looked at it the way we used to look at those 3x(2x^2-17^5) + 7x^3(45x - 70x^6)

And it was always like ok lets get rid if all the parenthesis ass soon ass possible lol. Only passed my exam with c- but I had the most diffucult math you could get in highschool.

Glad I don't have that stuff anymore

Damn straight!

I actually wrote a program on mine to figure the t/s parameters from the numbers I get when using the IMSG. I got tired of doing the math long hand.
