+515 14+2i<4+6u+10 simplifies to i<3u, amirite?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Mathmatically incorect >:P I'm sorry I ruined your fun by being a nerd.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i was gonna say that too.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, it's correct. 14+2i<4+6u+10 -14 -14 2i<6u /2 /2 i<3u

what happened to the ten? and, there is no equal sign...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You don't need an equal sign since there's an inequality sign... You can simplify an inequality in the same way that you can simplify an equation. And the 10 was gotten rid of when 14 was subtracted from both sides.

I and U are two different variables and you cannot divide them into eachother...?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You can't divide the variables, but you can simplify the involved constants.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm not dividing i by u, I'm dividing what they're being multiplied by. For instance, if i=4 and u=6, 4<18=8<36.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

it doesnt matter if they are two different variables, your dividing out the leading coefficients . Therefore it does work. And I got to use the word therefore.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes it does...that would be like saying i+i+i=u+u+u+u+u+u=u+u+u. Learn math.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually it is more like saying 2*(i)< 6*u. From there the two and six are not linked to the variable and you can see that by dividing the two from the left and the right, you get i<3u. Genius.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

and by that, i meant =U+U. LOL

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're not supposed to use lowercase i as a variable because in algebra, lower case i equals square root of -1. Siplifies like this. 14^2+2^2(-1)^2>4^2+6u^2+10^2 196+-4>16+36u^2+100 192>36u^2+116 192-(116)>36u^2+116-(116) 76>36u^2 2.1111111111>u^2 u<~1.453 <math>

Finally someone who knows i = -1. I was reading all these comments and I guess no one here got past Algebra 1...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It doesnt always mean -1, while its generally accepted it can just be a variable unless specified that this is an imaginary number. SCIENCE!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As for your idea of not being past algebra one, I agree many here have not. But I agree it didnt state this is a imaginary number so it should be taken as a variable. But from a Linear Algebra and Differential Equations student (basically Calc 4) that in general, this post is very much correct.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i always thought... isn't i the square root of -1? i feel really dumb if it's not... shoot. all my math teachers lied to me!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

OK PEOPLE, if you all want to be technical (as i see you do) then i is not the equivalent of √-1. √-1 is the equivalent of 𝘪. THE 𝘪 MUST BE ITALICIZED TO EQUAL THE SQUARE ROOT OF -1, TECHNICALLY. And for the record, I also have higher than algebra 1 instruction (I am in 10th grade currently and am in AP Precalculus). I also happen to have a 187 IQ, but as of now, I don't know if my IQ and my advancement and natural ability at math correlate.

This would make so much more sence if the OP would have first said "solve for i" then there wouldn't be any problems because i would be taken as a variable and you would have known to take everything fro the i side away!

Just because I'm smart doesn't mean I can't get laid. It just means I don't have to pay for two dollar hookers.

Chill out, man. Some people don't like math. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I don't particularly like math but I have a 4.1 GPA. Just because I don't like math doesn't mean I'm not smart or not good at math. Don't assume.

I'm not saying people who don't like math will end up like that, I'm saying people who think everybody who actually wants to learn something in their life is a nerd and can't get any girls.

Yeah, true, I understand that. I didn't mean to sound like a bitch but I reread my post and it kind of comes comes off that way.

And also, why would i want to get girls? I'm not a lesbian...

First of all, it is possible to get a good job without being mathematically skilled. Do you think historians must know how to solve algebraic equations? Do you think politicians need to know what an asymptote is? Do you think it is necessary for lawyers to find the circumference of a circle? No, it is not. Also, I've never had to pay for sex a day in my life, thankyouverymuch.

They all do if they want to graduate high school. And I didn't know you were a girl, your name is FaucetFace. And I'm fine with that just don't judge other people for having an interest in it.

I'm just saying that math isn't the only way someone can be seen as smart. And does FuacetFace seem manly?...cause i really don't know.

To anyone STILL fighting over this: IT WORKS. See, you collect like-terms on each side. On the right side, it would be the four and the ten, making fourteen. The left HAS no like terms. 14 + 2i < 4 + 6u + 10 = 14 + 2i < 14 + 6u Then you could subtract the fourteen from each side. 2i < 6u Both are divisible by 2, so once you divide it by 2, you get i<3u.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

actually, since i is a constant (radical -1), you solve for u, and it's u>i/3

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't say to solve, I said to simplify.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Chelsey, again, since the i was not italicized (e.g. 𝘪) then it is a variable. it is only used as the imaginary number (√-1) if it is italicized (𝘪). Seriously, when you people learned about these imaginary numbers, did you pay attention to anything else than what you THINK is now correct? Seriously, you people are either REALLY inattentive, or you only have enough memory span to fill a teaspoon.
