Don't panic, Captain Angel is just planning a three hour tour.

Oh, who am I kidding? With her as the captain, best case scenario would be finding a deserted island on a clear day.

and I have an issue with this riddle....cause pigs aren't really cows....why would we call them cows?:confused3 :confused3

[firstmickey]

I mean...I could see why a pig wanted to upgrade to a cow....but what about the cows? do they want to upgrade? and the poor fluffy sheep? are they just hanging out waiting to be lamb chops or something? why aren't they pretending too? They could be strive to be humans. :teeth:

Pigs are alot smarter than cows so that wouldn't really be an upgrade;)

Cows are taller. So technically...that would be an UP grade. :teeth: :lmao:

Maybe he's had a lot of one on one time with both, and found the conversations were a lot more stimulating with the pigs.

I'm hoping I at least pass:rotfl: then my homework bonus points will really help me out. I don't feel like I understand anything that we've covered, and the stuff I knew, I can't remember for crap:confused3

BUT I'll be happy to get through tomorrow, b/c after 12:30 tomorrow I won't have to go back to school till the Monday after i get back from WDW!!!

[Mnementh]

Is it math? Because I could help, you know.

[L107ANGEL]

Is it math? Because I could help, you know.

good man!

[trappednabox]

yeah it is, for some reason I'm really having a hard time factoring

this is the problem on the review he gave us

factor completely
10a^3+4a^2b-15ab^2-6b^3


Then I have to graph linear the equation

y=3x+3

but I can't remember how to get the x,y coordinates for some reason:eek:

I'm just stressing myself out about it and I know that's what's making me forget what to do, b/c I know I know how to do this

[trappednabox]

:rotfl: see my sample queston stresses out the riddle and killed it:rotfl:

The second one is pretty easy. Just substitute numbers for x and solve to get y. Like if x equals 1, y equals 6. x equals 2, y equals 9, etc...

I'll think about the first one...


ETA: Oh man... now that I've written it out with the exponents actually looking like exponents, this looks so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on how to do it... I'll think of it.

[L107ANGEL]

Andy just freaked!

[Mnementh]

Andy just freaked!

:lmao: Sorry, Angel!


Well, I figured out the answer, now I just need to try to figure out how I can explain it...

Do you want an explanation and the answer or just an explanation? And are you allowed any kind of a cheat sheet? Because if you are, that will allow me to explain in a more complicated fashion, so it will be easier for me to explain it.

[L107ANGEL]

:rotfl: I was referring to Boxer, but if you want me to learn you some math, I can do that, too :p:teacher:

[trappednabox]

if you can explain it and show me how you got the answer that would really help. For the test we can't have anything but scratch paper and a pencil. :rolleyes:

and now that you explained the 2nd one it makes sense again:rotfl:

Sorry, Boxer. my fiance came over for lunch. I'm going to take this to PM so I don't bore the other riddlers. Just give me a few minutes to type it all out.

Rats... I just sent her that long explanation and she signed off...

[firstmickey]

Darn it brat...you should have posted it here!

It was gonna be my Halloween riddle tomorrow! :teeth: :rotfl:


Lou....get a life or somethin! :p

[Mnementh]

I still have a copy of the message in my sent PMs. Want me to post it? :p

[Mnementh]

What the hell, I'll post it anyway because I'm about to sign off and read and I don't feel like waiting for an answer. Let's hope it gets us closer to the hooty rather than killing the riddle.

99.9% of the time, the answer will be in the form (coefficient * a^2 +/- coefficient * b^2) * (coefficient * a +/- coefficient * b)

A good way to start out is to make the coefficients in the second parentheses the same as the coefficients of the first two terms of the equation. For example, the first two terms in your equation are 10a^3 + 4a^2b, so make the coefficient of a be 10 and the coefficient of b be 4. So far, we have:

(coefficient * a^2 +/- coefficient *b^2) * (10a +/- 4b)

Next, pretend the coefficents of a^2 and b^2 are 1. FOIL like you normally would.

You would come out with 10a^3 +/- 4ab^2 +/- 10ab^2 +/- 4b^3. The multiplication with a^2 came out correct, but the multiplication with b^2 didn't, so the coefficient of b^2 isn't 1. You just have to figure out what it is, which is just simple arithmetic that I'm sure you can figure out. The coefficient of b^2 comes out to be 3/2.

Now, the equation should look like (a^2 +/- 3/2b^2) * (10a +/- 4b)

Only thing left to do is to determine whether the signs are pluses or minuses. The easiest way to do this is to just guess and check. There are only four possible combinations, so it shouldn't take long.

In the end, you should come out with (a^2 - 3/2b^2) * (10a + 4b)


On a different topic, I noticed our teams are playing on Monday night this week. Should be an interesting matchup.

[trappednabox]

[Mnementh]

Oh good. I thought you had signed off for the night and weren't going to get it until it was too late.

[Mnementh]

I knew math would kill the riddle... so close to a hooty, too :sad2:

[brightspark]

Morning all! So near yet so far from a hooty! Love the maths!

[MadScouser]

Can we sneak a hooty sparky ?

Well Mr Scouse as we are on the boards at this unearthly hour, I don't see why not... unless of course there are any lurkers out there....
