it was meant to be 3/2

x= -2
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 7:01am On Sep 25, 2005
rolleyes
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:02am On Sep 25, 2005
I guess i din't explain the game. embarassed You should show your working. And no next question?
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 7:03am On Sep 25, 2005
`what is y raised to power -10
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:05am On Sep 25, 2005
To answer nike's question.

25 to the power of 3/2

25=5 to the power of 2.

therefore: 5 2x3/2

53 = 125
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:08am On Sep 25, 2005
i dont get the last question? lipsrsealed
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 7:11am On Sep 25, 2005
next question: it took 10 people to lift 5 bags, how many people will it take to lift 10 bags?

20 people

double the 10..

5x2=10
10x2= 20

i cant explain much cos i just worked out in my head

my question was wats[b] y raised to the power of -10[/b]
Re: The Mathematics Game by WesleyanA(f): 7:12am On Sep 25, 2005
20
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:21am On Sep 25, 2005
I dont know the answer oo. Wes, can u please explain how Y-10 is 20? embarassed
Re: The Mathematics Game by WesleyanA(f): 7:25am On Sep 25, 2005
nike asked how many people it'll take to lift ten bags and i answered 20. i guess she modified her post undecided
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 7:26am On Sep 25, 2005
Lizzy how u get de raised to power sign

y raised to power -10

any thing dat has minus b4 de power will be reduced to

1/y raised to power 10..
Re: The Mathematics Game by WesleyanA(f): 7:28am On Sep 25, 2005
i thought we had to solve for Y lipsrsealed. . . . you should have said "what's another way to write the statement".
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:29am On Sep 25, 2005
to get the raised to power sign... you higlight the thing you wanna raise.. and click SUP. It's right above the smileys. smiley
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 7:30am On Sep 25, 2005
thanks

y-10 = 1/y-10
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 7:53am On Sep 25, 2005
Okay..

next question: Factorize.

x2+2x-3 = 0
Re: The Mathematics Game by queen2(f): 5:09pm On Sep 25, 2005
hmmm, i like this game...... grin
Re: The Mathematics Game by queen2(f): 5:35pm On Sep 25, 2005
hot-angel:

Okay..

next question: Factorize.

x2+2x-3 = 0

where dis u press on the keyboard to make 2 the power of x, i can't.
Re: The Mathematics Game by queen2(f): 5:38pm On Sep 25, 2005
x2 + 2x - 3 = 0

ans: x2 +3x - x - 3 = 0
x(x + 3) - 1 (x + 3)
(x + 3) = 0 (x - 1) = 0
x = -3 or x = 1
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 8:37pm On Sep 25, 2005
Queen for you to raise something to the power... you highlight what you want to raise, and click SUP, it's right above the smileys.

There's no next question?? undecided

NExt Question:

If f(x)= x-4; Find f(4), and f(-2).
Re: The Mathematics Game by queen2(f): 8:49pm On Sep 25, 2005
ok hottie thanx cheesy

NExt Question:

If f(x)= x-4; Find f(4), and f(-2).

f(4)  = 0
f(-2) = -6

Find the sum of the following GP (Geometric Progression)
2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + ... + 1458
Re: The Mathematics Game by kamakula: 9:49pm On Sep 28, 2005
umm. . wow. . . my ppl need more math. .

the lowest common multiple of 24 and 48 is rightly 48.
the highest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24 - 24 is a factor of itself.

factors of 24: 1,24, 2,12, 3,8,4,6
factors of 48, 1,48, 2,24, 3,16, 4,12, 6,8

you guys sure learned weird ways of doing stuff. . .
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 6:13am On Sep 29, 2005
so its 24 and 48?

if it is..am right
Re: The Mathematics Game by kamakula: 10:12pm On Sep 29, 2005
yes - 24 is the lcf, 48 is the lcm.
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 10:17pm On Sep 29, 2005
then am right huh?
Re: The Mathematics Game by kamakula: 10:24pm On Sep 29, 2005
yep, you are right!

Now, my own question:

What is the probability of getting at least two heads when a fair coin is flipped three times?
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 10:42pm On Sep 29, 2005
answer is[b] 4/8[/b]

when you fliped coin 3times , total outcome is 8 because 23 is 8 and probability of at least 2 heads is 4 therefore, its 4/8

u feel me?

solve (2 7/9) 1/2?
Re: The Mathematics Game by kamakula: 10:56pm On Sep 29, 2005
Your answer is Correct!!!

though, its not that the probability of 2 head is 4, but the total number of possible ways of getting two heads is 4.

And the answer to your question,

(27/9)1/2 = 27/18

so, answer this:

what is wrong with this proof:

x = y.
Then x2 = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x2 - y2 = xy - y2.
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x + y = y.
Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Subtracting y from both sides:
y = 0
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 12:15am On Sep 30, 2005
kamakula am sorry to bust your bubble but your answer is wrong!

(2 7/9) 1/2= 5/3 or 1 2/3
how its done:
first change (2 7/9) into an improper fraction which is 25/9

then 1/2 means squareroot..u feel me?

therefore its gon be √- sqareroot of 25/9 which is 5/3:
25-5
9-3
so answer is 5/3 or 1 2/3

do u get it ? rolleyes
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 12:17am On Sep 30, 2005
kamakaula.. i don't get the LCM thingy. embarassed

And i seriously don't know how to do proofs. Call me dumb. undecided
Re: The Mathematics Game by nike4luv(f): 12:18am On Sep 30, 2005
gurl ur not dumb ok..

do the long hcf and lcm thing we were taught in primary school, u'll get it
but if u know venn diagram, it works too
Re: The Mathematics Game by hotangel2(f): 12:18am On Sep 30, 2005
I used the way i knew.. but that's wat i keep getting.
