mathematical equations

I am making mathematical equations to test my skill. Such as y-2x^4

Code:

 
y=2x^4

x=2
2*2=4 $^4= 4*4*4*4=256, thus y=256.

discuss math here !

I know. Lol. Can you do this: y=x^x/(7^4/7)
x=2???

Re: mathematical equations

Ok, Here is a fun one:

pick any number and multiply by two. add 5. multiply by 50. if you have had your birth day, add 1762, else add 1761. subtract the total by your 4-digit birth year, and the first number is what you chose, and the last digit(s) are your age!

Re: mathematical equations

y=x^x/(7^4/7)
x=2

y = 2^2/(7^4/7)
y= 4/343

this took a long time to do ...

Re: mathematical equations

ok, i got a harder one: what is the hypotenuse when a=12 and b=7?

Re: mathematical equations

Actually your first equation is wrong.  PEMDAS states you should have done the exponent first, not multiply by 2.  So instead you would get 2*2^4=2^5=32.

Re: mathematical equations

( (2 * 3 + 5) * 50 + 1761) - 19YZ
= 550 + 1761 - 19YZ
= 2311 - 19YZ

Oh waa! It worked!

Re: mathematical equations

.. phythagoras:
c² = a² + b²
a=12 and b=7
c² = 193
c ~ something between 13.5 and 14

how do you do the squared symbol?

Copy and paste.
I think LiFay is actually correct. Your answer is rather impossible, because the hypotenuse is the longest side.

why do you do (193- 12)-(193-7) = 5 ?
this would be (a²+b² - a) - (a² + b² - b)
I thought you would calculate it with this phythagoras thing a²+b²=c²? but maybe I understood it wrong, english math is new for me  big_smile

EDIT: oh, I just saw what scimonsters wrote...

I'm in 8th grade, and learned the Pythagorean theorem straight from Khan Academy.
