I will be making math problems:

I will give a trophie to the first 5 people who solve it correctly.

Remember, these are super easy, but I will make them harder as they go on.

Pre-Algebra problem: What is the mean of the set of numbers {1,3,4,2,5,8,9,3,2,3}

Algebra: Solve for x: (2x^2)+3x-9

Algebra 2 (you may have learned this in algebra 1): Solve for x: (4(x)^2)+4x-4

Thanks!

and also you can't solve for it if it's only an expression

starsplitting

number two done

done

Problem #3: 4x²+4x-4

4(x²+x-1)=0

4(x+1)(x-1)=0

x=-1 or 1

God, I hope that's correct.

TheTeensGambit

Omg I have no idea this is so embarassing

starsplitting

Problem 3. 4x²+4x-4=0

1. Use the quadratic formula x=−b±√b²−4ac over 2a

2.Substitute and solve

3. Comes down to 1±√5 over 2

4. Use the plus or minus sign

5. the answer is

x = φ, the Golden Ratio (1.618)

or x = -0.618

 

TheTeensGambit

Are you some kind of math genius?

starsplitting

No, but the quadratic formula is very useful and efficient

TheTeensGambit

I seem to remember doing something like that, but I just can't remember anything about the quadratic formula!

TheTeensGambit

I'm going to have to look it up again.

i said earlier that there should be an =0 at the end of the quadratics

#3, also if you did the quadratic formula, you can easily do #3

oh nvm, you did #3, so nice job for being first to solve

its not correct, but ill still give you a trophie for testing your limits

good try happy.png

you can factor out a four, but then you cant factor (x^2)+x-1 so you have to use quad formula
