So I needed a good laugh

I like them, gave me a good laugh too.

But anyone who knows Pythagorean's Theorem would know X=5. Sorry, I just had to make myself sound smart.

Very good DC! Where were u when we were trying to figure out a algebric problem jedijeff posted a month or so ago!
:lol:
Thanks for the cute pics Morning!
Simplistic Ang :D

Show me the thread! I love math :)

K let me find it, might take a few mins as this was a while ago! But i thought i was a math whiz too until this problem stumped me for almost 12 hours! Then it hit me how to figure it out!
Won't share the secret yet until i see if u can figure it out!
:lol:
Ang

Ok didn't take as long as i thought it would... here ya go DC
Solve for x:

2x????+x-10=0

Good Luck,
Ang
P.S. And btw u MUST show ur work to get ALL the points! :lol:

oh we're getting into quadratic formulas, give me a minute I need to go get some coffee.

OMG DC!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried and tried to figure this problem out for hours then gave up, about 4 or 5 hours later it hit me, Sheessshhhh u have to use the quad formula and then i had to find it cuz of course i don't remember it! :shock:
Ur smart, VERY smart!
Impressed Ang :D

I'm scanning my solution now. As I wait for the scanner... For some odd reason, even though I never use it in real life, I have that equation memorized. A few weeks ago I had a math teach apply for a loan and I approved it, but before I could give it to her I told her she needed to tell me what the quadratic equation was. She didn't know it! But I still gave her the loan.

ha ha Holy Schmoly, u remember that WHOLE equation on the top of ur head?!?!
U keep impressing me DC!
:D
Ang

Here it is.

Ok here we go again! Ur right there are 2 diff answers to this problem... but my answer was 2!
I can't believe i'm gonna do this to myself again today! ha ha ha
Ang

WTH, you're right 2 does work. Where did I go wrong???

Was it the square root that threw u off? Cuz that almost did me in the first go round with this!
;)
Ang

Ouch, i did a very simple math error at the very top... 4*2*-10 = -80 not -81. --- 1 - - 80 equals 81, which the square root of equals 9. -1 +9 divided by 4 does equal 2. The other answer is -2.

Good job Ang, calling me out!

Oopps did not notice the error either! AH well u still impressed me BIG TIME DC!
Good job dude!
Now i know who to go with when i have a math problem sticking in my brain!
:lol:
Very, very very good job!
:D

Thanks Ang. I guess we hijacked Morningstar's thread. Sorry Morningstar!

ha ha
Now back to her pics!
:lol:
Sorry for the hijack Morning!
:D
Ang

go to despair.com, view demotivators and you can see an entire collection of these pics simiar to what morning posted.

Two things:
Sweet! Now I know where to find more of these.

Bummer :? I've got to go through the quadratic equation very soon in my community college math class; and that gave me much trouble in Algebra 1 (14 and 15 years ago). I had to take the class twice back then, just to pass with a C or a D...

Well Morningstar, if you ever need help with your math homework, just post it here :). I'll be glad to help you.

That's very kind :D
