Re: Official Algebra Topic

I got something for you.

4x^2+11x+22=0

Factor if possible.
Solve.


Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

Just use the quadratic formula:

x= -11+/- sqrt(121-16(22) )/8
x=-11+/- sqrt(121-352) )/8
x=-11+/- sqrt(-231) )/8
x=-11+/- sqrt(231)i)/8

I could go on, but x is not a very nice number...

Didn't solve it myself, but I'd say it's correct. When plotted on a real plane, the smallest value is 14 (at x ~= -1.3)
In other words, in a real set, S = {∅}

Re: Official Algebra Topic

Let's bring some logs and powers in:
For this problem, log=log in the base of x and LOG=log in the base of 5
log(1024)=LOG(625)

this really isn't that hard if you know what logs are.

log5(625) = 4
logx(1024) = 4
logx(2) = 2/5

and then i'm stuck  tongue

An equation is two expressions each on one side of an equal sign. I got no better definition.

Woot.

a = undefined.
b = a.
Does b = undefined?

Yes. Transitive property.
if a = b and b = c, a = c.

Rethinking it, b and a could technically be 0...

log(1024) = LOG(625)
log(1024) = 4
x = 1024^(1/4)
x = 5.657

Re: Official Algebra Topic

What would you like added to this to make it more interesting? I will also give this a ton of questions next week.
