6 - 6 x 6 = -12

[Hakot]

It's truth!

[Sizzle]

im no math major but the scientific calculator i just input that in number for number symbol for symbol gave me -30. It could possibly be wrong tho? haha i dont get this post already!

[Ishio]

It is 30.

Reason? Order of Operations. 6x6 first so 36, then subtract 6.

[Ishio]

I mean -30.

[Akame]

Wouldn't that be 6-(6x6)= 30? whereas 6-6x6=0?

[Seaweedpimp]

It is 30.

Reason? Order of Operations. 6x6 first so 36, then subtract 6.

Without that it would be 0.

I know im like einstien in hurr.

[Ishio]

Without that it would be 0.

I know im like einstien in hurr.

Can't do math without it though. ;)

[Hakot]

My dad just got home from teaching today and says you're all in dire need of math lessons.

[Ishio]

My dad just got home from teaching today and says you're all in dire need of math lessons.

Or your dad needs to go to a real college and get a real education.

6-(6x6) = X
6-(36) = X
6+(-36) = X

-30 = X

[Teensy Weensy]

6-6 is 0 and zero times anything is.....

[Itchybottom]

6 - ((6 * 6) / 2) == -12 maybe.

[Teensy Weensy]

order of operations ladies. eetz importanz for maf

[Ishio]

6-6 is 0 and zero times anything is.....

Order of Operations. (http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol7/order_operations.html) It's not that hard to understand. You learned this in Jr. High.

[Lazortag]

Let's see here:

6-6*6=-12

divide both sides by 6:
1-1*6=-2
transpose 1 to the other side:
-1*6=-3
divide by -3:
-1*-2=1
multiply out -1*-2:
2=1

which yields a contradiction.

[Spewys]

[Ishio]

Do people suck at math this much?

[devils04]

Please
Execuse
My
Dear
Aunt

Order of Operations.

[Chanus]

This is the dumbest conversation I've ever witnessed.

[Ishio]

Let's see here:

6-6*6=-12

divide both sides by 6:
1-1*6=-2
transpose 1 to the other side:
-1*6=-3
divide by -3:
-1*-2=1
multiply out -1*-2:
2=1

which yields a contradiction.

*Psst* When you divide by -3 on both sides, you get -1/3 not -1

[Seaweedpimp]

Do people suck at math this much?

Idk how anyone is getting anything but 0 without oor.

Hell i forgot oor existed. Maybe thats why.

[Itchybottom]

Do people suck at math this much?

Yes. :D

[Chanus]

*Psst* When you divide by -3 on both sides, you get -1/3 not -1

1/3, actually.

[Lazortag]

*Psst* When you divide by -3 on both sides, you get -1/3 not -1

You're joking right?

[Ishio]

Idk how anyone is getting anything but 0 without oor.

Hell i forgot oor existed. Maybe thats why.

6-6x6=x
6-(6x6)=x
6-36=x
6+(-36)=x
-30=x

It goes parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

[Ishio]

1/3, actually.

Oops, I misplaced the (-)

[Hakot]

What if you did 6(-6x6)=-12?

[Lazortag]

Oops, I misplaced the (-)

...........................

Seriously?

That wasn't a troll?

[Chanus]

What if you did 6(-6x6)=-12?

You'd be wrong.

[Ishio]

There's no exponents.

[Hakot]

You'd be wrong.

I'm sorry, who passed away and declared you to be chancellor of mathematics? My dad >>> you at math.

[Ishio]

It was a troll. :cool:

[Itchybottom]

Your father is an idiot.

[Ishio]

Your dad obviously doesn't know his Order of Operations. I might have to contact the school he teaches at and have them revoke his teaching degree.

[Lazortag]

It was a troll. :cool:

phew.

[Ishio]

Oh wait, I get it now, this is a /b/ thing isn't it?

I googled to see if this was a math problem and I was overlooking my correct answer, and up pops /b/ shit.

[Torqumada286]

Order of Operations. (http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol7/order_operations.html) It's not that hard to understand. You learned this in Jr. High.

My daughter has learned this in the 4th grade.

Torqumada

[nalkin]

6-6x6 = -12

in the mod18 universe i think.

[Torqumada286]

There's no exponents.

Isn't there an understanding that any number by itself is to the the 1st power?

Torqumada

[Lazortag]

6-6x6 = -12

in the mod18 universe i think.

Even if you were in mod18, the convention is to simplify it down to a positive number (so in this case 6-6x6=6 would be the answer).

[Hakot]

My daughter has learned this in the 4th grade.

Torqumada

Obviously your daughter's 4th grade teachers are idiots. I'd suggest moving her to a new school, I think they have openings at the one my dad teaches at.

[Ishio]

Torqumada

I meant variables.

[Ishio]

I don't think he lives in a 3rd world country, so he probably won't be going to your dad's school.

[guineapig]

Stupid thread is stupid.

[Hakot]

I don't think he lives in a 3rd world country, so he probably won't be going to your dad's school.

Wow... I know this is RNF but don't you think slanging around 3rd world country insults is a little low? Just because I may not have it as well off as you do doesn't mean you need to rub your McDonald's in my face...

[Ihealyou]

This thread makes me thankful that cashiers at mcdonalds don't have to make change anymore

[Akame]

The devs need to lock this thread before someone divides by zero and the whole place goes down in flames.

[Rhalous]

This thread is pretty funny, but only b/c you guys have got to be trollin. Just incase, though; if you need to check your work while doing mathematics, use Wolfram Alpha if you don't have something like Matlab.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6-6x6

Here is e^(x) for a little taste of what Wolfram can do for you.

If you multiply by 1/0 you'll be ok.

Looks like the terrorist won

6-(6x6)

the - sign is an OPERATOR, so the answer is 30

[Hasbinbad]

6-6x6
0

OH NO!! NOOOOOO!!!!! AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

6-36 = ?????

[Ihealyou]

6 - 6 x 6 = -30 = (-3)(0) = 0

QED

[Rhalous]

Someone draw these kids a number line.

you've gone and done it








you've made the worst thread

Someone draw these kids a congo line.

[Thu Dec 02 18:55:58 2010] You say, '#peval $c->CastToClient()->Message(13, 6 - 6 * 6);'

The server has spoken.

Must obey.

Yay, I was the first one who was right!

Damn, Itchy, gotta clean up that notation, bro.

Are you trolling, or are you retarded? Either provides amusement.

[Rhalous]

You can integrate how it's written now. The only thing that is wrong with the notation is a dx on the end.

[Daldaen]

I'd like to hear the server's thoughts on evaluating:

http://www.infernis.org/latex.gif
if you add dx at the end. It becomes:

x^3+0.5x^2-5x .... Evaluated at 0 and 1

0+0+0-[1^+0.5(1)^2-5(1)]
-[1+.5-5]
3.5

[Itchybottom]

3.5

Thread winner!

[Daldaen]

Combine the Taylor Series expansion of the Cosine and Sine functions and take the absolute value of its sum. Which function does this Taylor Series expansion resemble? This blew my mind the first time I saw it.

I was joking :P dx is a dummy variable

[teganyavo]

or a differential depending on your lingeaux

I did this problem this semester, actually. I did it a different way, though. I substituted "i Θ" in for "x" in the Taylor series for e^x and ended up with Euler's formula. e^(iΘ) = cos(Θ) + isin(Θ)

At least I think that is where you're going.

or a differential depending on your lingeaux

Yea, I guess it depends on what application you use all this stuff for. I've heard some terms and didn't know what they were and it turned out they were just used for business calc.

Anyway, gotta get back to studying. . . peace.

I just randomly text my 18 year old friend, sernior in HS and he got it right first try.

-30

I look at everything as basic math though, so Id be the ding bat to say 0.

As he said when he gave me the answer, "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally"

[AexDestroy]

Wouldn't that be 6-(6x6)= 30? whereas 6-6x6=0?
