Fixed and I see what you did there, distribution of the terms, also valid without the adequate brackets.

Edit: see? iIn the reply box a2 was perfect, and when I posted, it became a2. So yeah, it's a^2.

2a and a2 are the same thing, as i said i didnt realize he was making it as an exponent. its the same size as a normal number.

Hey, genius. In the set up ACt provided you need to solve the denominator first to make it 1 term, then you divide the numerator by the denominator. Are you sure you're in college? This is elementary school shit.

kluang · 04-08-2011, 12:45 PM

I did not wrote it wrong.

I cant make the exponent look right here.

what they call it, superscript

No, they aren't if the forums don't allow for the right annotation. So you're still wrong.

No they aren't. In notation with variables, the ONLY time you ever put the number after the variable is when the number is an exponent. Should kluang have put a "^" between a and 2 to make this clear? Yes. But those of us with basic comprehension of math understood the exponent.

See this, Animefan? This is why some people use the juxtaposition for exponential, because it also works for it as much as it works for multiplication. And that is why appropriate notation is always valuable.

he said he was taught everything after the division sign was in the demoninator, he said it and i said only if its 1 term, if thats what he meant fine but he did not make the 1 bit clear because he never clarified that until much later.

you did have 2=1 at the bottom

they arent in the forums lol, gtfo, 2a and a2 are the same in the math world, sorry after looking at it for 10 sec i didnt realize when he had 2=1 at the bottom that he meant exponents and assumed he made a mistake with the factoring.

Seriously, just stop.

well as usual it was a pleasure stopping in to the spam zone and talking to all of you, i look forward to our next encounter.

kael03 · 04-08-2011, 01:08 PM

Way to not admit you were wrong about kluang's post. Even after he pointed out he fucked it up.

well he was wrong, he had 2=1 as the solution when hes dividing things by (a-b) and a=b.

i could, sorry i didnt realize 2a and a2 were different right away in an internet forum but solved what a and b were. you keep mentioing it like its this amazing feat or something, are your abilities just that low

Regardless of the medium, the translation is the same. a2 ALWAYS translates to a to the power of 2. To translate it any other way doesn't exist in math. As I said before (and you seem to conveniently ignore) when working with variables you NEVER put the number after the variable unless it's being treated as an exponent.
