Re: Any Math Majors here today? Need quick answers
no....help me out if you can.
$20 if you can answer in 20 min |
Re: Any Math Majors here today? Need quick answers
4(-2)² + 8(-2) + 3(-2) + 6 = 8
(1/3)(9)³ = 76 -11(3/2)(.12(-12)) = 22 2/3 30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 48 598% / 26% = 23% 4/5 + 3/4 = 32/20 edit: do you need working? no need to ship money, glad to help |

I think the last one is wrong Phil

Apparently it was. Phil nailed it. [/ QUOTE ] lol @ being outspoken and wrong. Jay got them right first but to be fair these are 'order of operations trick questions' which a lot of people will screw up for the simple fact that they don't think twice about it. |

Cliff notes: Someone wants to cheat on his exam and needs quick answers
I deliberately give wrong answers Jay gives correct answers Everyone pretends that Jay is wrong so the cheater doesn't pass. People come in later and don't know wtf is going on, because they're stupid |
Re: Any Math Majors here today? Need quick answers
Something doesn't add up here . Op has been a user since 2002 , so it's unlikely that he is a young student .
Another possibility is that Phil actually thought he had the right answer and is trying to diminish his ineptitude for solving bedmas problems ? My guess is that Op has a son or daughter who has a math assignment and has come here for assistance . How did I do? |

[/ QUOTE ] lol, everyone in this thread knew what was going down. These questions are a joke. An average 8th grader could answer them, and very few would get 5/5 wrong. [ QUOTE ] My guess is that Op has a son or daughter who has a math assignment and has come here for assistance . [/ QUOTE ] He seems older, but he posted two separate threads where he desperately needed answers in 20 minutes and offered $20. Either he or his daughter don't know their subject material, and he clearly didn't have any attempted answers since he never questioned mine. Someone is cheating at something. I'm all for helping people out, but not when they're being assessed. There's good reason not to give the incompetent false certification for things they can't actually do. |

Any brains surgeons here today? I need to know how to apply a band-aid to my knee.

Re: Any Math Majors here today? Need quick answers
I think it's pretty crappy to make fun of some dude for not knowing basic math. It's also crappy that this dude apparently wants to cheat on some homework or whatever. He should learn this stuff. It wouldn't take very long at all.

Re: Any Math Majors here today? Need quick answers
For some people Math is just nearly impossible, not sure why. i.e. I worked for a guy for a couple of years who ran his own service company. Mainly fixed and installed HVAC equipment, but the man could literally fix almost any mechanical/electrical machine in common use, but he couldn't figure decimals for the life of him or basic algebra.
