Joshjrn Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Took the ACT this morning, no more of this.Out of curiosity, are there 3 variables or is i the square root of -1 in this case?people still take the ACT? why not just take the SAT. Science section in ACT is junk/useless.I know the universities in Louisiana prefer the ACT over the SAT, or at least did when I graduated high school. Link to comment

Memphus Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can someone explain to me how the ">" changes to a "<" in the final step?I'm only an engineer, and it makes no sense to me right now (a little drunk though) Link to comment

My excuse is, I forgot. But from what I remember, whenever you are dividing or multiplying by a negative to get one of the coefficients on one side, you gotta flip the "greater than, less than" symbol.example: this guy found out they he was still buying drinks and forgot that happy hour was over. This is negatively multiplying the money that's coming out of his bank account, so he flips a table. He also thought that buying females drinks in the club was some sort of mating ritual and figured he would get some.related: (?°?°??? ??? Edited April 16, 2012 by Emeraldwpn Link to comment

Moto Bro Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was mildly impressed that Hess had taken the time to solve the equation. Then I googled it. First image result Good for you Hess. Link to comment
Scott Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was mildly impressed that Hess had taken the time to solve the equation. Then I googled it. First image result I doubt you could have even solved it. Seriously? I never had the interest (or need) to advance past a certain point in math, but I still learned what I was taught, ass In fact, I did quite well in math in high school. Was even in Honors for a couple of years until I got tired of dealing with it P.S. I didn't actually attempt it so I don't know for sure, but there's a decent chance I would have forgotten to switch the inequality sign. I am seven years removed from my last math class, after all Someone is mad Link to comment
