Description This tests a little of you math skills. !!!INSTRUCTIONS!!! I have given the length of the legs of the triangle at the top of the level (in gold). first you must find the length of the hypotenuse(longest side) and round the answer to nearest one hundredth. Then add that to the area of the triangle to get the answer. Now you see numbers in the middle of the level (where the ninja starts). you have to get the numbers of the answer in ORDER (including the point!!!). I also made it hard to try guessing and not doing the math. you can do that if you want but i think its easier to do the math and solve it then get the answer its your choice. If you have any questions just ask. im on this site alot.

yea, true

our problems are usually written that way too...
i've just stopped thinking route and immediatly change it to power...so im not used to thinking to myself, "its a third route"...

true

i agree wih you on the power instead of route thing but most of our questions are written as routes and we have to give the answer as a surd or something - which is anoying but it doesnt take up to much brainpower switching between them

oh

and i bet the one i posted was harder...

i just made that up as i went...adding everything i disliked about deriving and integrating...and combining them to make it worse...

OH!

THAT kind of route...
yea, third route is fine, so is cubic...
but i havnt written out a route sign in 6 months...
i always use powers, as in, third route is ^(one third)

i prefer numbers over the annoying route symbol...i feel like its easier to work with, since deriving is minus 1 power(to put it simplisticall), numbers are better to work with then symbols...

except e, e kicks ass...

and...USA, Texas to be more specific...

b - man

sorry ive been a bit harsh on you

here is a mathematical map you might like:

http://numa.notdot.net/map/44111

it is a binary adder

nemetacyst

true - i live in scotland our notation will slightly differ - for us the 3rd route is what you may call the cubic route.

and i made a mistake with my answer it should be:

dy/dx = 1/3 X cubic route of((5x + 4)(9x - 1)/(x^2 + 1)) X 5/(5x + 4) + 9/(9x - 1) - 2x/(x^2 - 1)

X - MULTIPLICATION
x - UNKNOWN

i know its quite easy, ididnt want to give the baby a bottle he couldnt suck on ?

and by the way nemetacyst I found a problem in my homework last night very similar to the one you posted so our work must be almost exactly the same - what country do you live in- just out of intrest


Easy but fun

I like the level concept, but it was a bit easy. 4.5/5

OK

and true it doesnt mean you will always enjoy it. but i have so far.

do yourself a favor

well, 2 favors...

1)dont look foward to it...
2)enjoy the simplicity while it lasts...

being good at math does not mean you will always enjoy it...

Oh really?

cause i was kinda looking foward to it.

it can be scary

but teachers arnt as mean as i am...
you will probably never see one that complex...

OH

and i dont have too much of a problem with no calculator. well...right now atleast but the way you make it sound makes it scary.

than i feel jelous

because not where i live and you get to learn that stuff earlier.

well

im not trying to sound too harsh or mean...
but thats really not 9th grade math...

pathag is old...7th or 8th at the latest...

hmmm

cot(ln(csc((x^3-2x^2+5x-2)/(5x^2))+e^(3x)sec^2(5x^2-10))/(x^2))
...derive it...
now THATS ugly...
...derive it again...
...suicidal...
find the volume of the solid that graph make on the bound of its most negative x intercept and its most positive x intercept(yes, you get to find those, too) rotated around the line y=10
(oh great, inverse, integral, and probly commit suicide long before you get this far)

oh, did i mention...no calculator???
yes, you get to solve for zeros and intercepts by hand...ouchy...
so mabye it does suck. Vancouver,Washington

wow...

if i could have learned at my own pace...id probly have a degree...and im 17...pathag is at more like 12 year old stuff...where the hell do you live...your school district must suck

um...

wtf is the third route supposed to be for?!?!?

if y= the 3rd route of that equation, then the equation is y double anti-prime...as is, second integral of the equation

you derived it...so you found the 4th derivitive of the equation, which is d4Y/dX4

i know what i said was right...but i think our notation is different so im probly misunderstanding what you ment...

and that is still a rather simple one...i might post a really good one later...

Im 14

(i dont mean to sound like im braging) but if i could learn at my own pace i have no dout that i would be at a higher livel of math right now.

yeah

i agree with nemetacyst - im doing advanced higher maths just now( thats in scotland, its the highest level you can do in school) B-Man - I did that kind of thing in p7 - WHEN I WAS 11 ! , if i were you i wouldnt be bragin about doing pythagoras - especially if it is the most advanced maths youve done + i would like to know your age out of intrest(im not a pedo by the the way - im only 16)

AS a wee treat for you B man, since you love maths so much here is one of my homework questions for you to try:

evaluate the derivative:

y = 3rd route of(5x + 4)(9x - 1)/(x^2 + 1)

answer(surely a genius like you wont need it):

dy/dx = 1/3 X 3rd route of(5x + 4)(9x - 1)/(x^2 + 1) X 5/(5x + 4) + 9/(9x - 1) - 2x/(x^2 - 1)


funny

how you can see the difference between a key and a trap door

well

middle school is as far as the comparison could go...math changes way too much(well, not so much till calculus)...

but it is a step, so your likely to do pretty well if you are good at the current stuff...

and syntax...plz tell me you arnt actually impessed with pathag.

Well

am not exactly sure were i am. but i think im the best in out of my middle school.

Really, b-man?

How good at math are you? I'd be impressed if you're one of the top 50 mathematical middle or high-schoolers in the nation. Or adults, for that matter.

Not terribly fun...

Or challenging for that matter. You just have to whip out a calculator and do the math. I wish I could give you a suggestion to make it more fun, but I can't think of anything.

...

cool

too bad

cuz thats one of the easiest things to do...with the least amount of work...

UH...

yes acually. cant wait.

oh

heres one...

find the volume of the solid bounded by the x axis and the equation X^3-3x^2, rotated around the equation X=6.

imagine it first...sound fun?

oops sorry

yes i am in english but spelling is deffinently not my best subject. math is.

and

SPELL MY NAME RIGHT
ITS RIGHT IN FRON OF YOU
your in english too right?

well then...

you better start studying for my level...(kidding, i really doubt id do something like that)

Nametacyst

im only in algebra

@pheonixpenguin

you didn't add the area.

um...

yea...penguin is worng...he didnt read the descrip...

and this level is hella stupid...(so is that phrase actually)

if your gonna do math...you might as well do something a LITTLE more advanced...

say...calculus...at the least...
then its not just, whip out the calculator...cuz most calculators dont help much...

oh

and round it to 14.53

Pheonixpengin

I said add it to the area of the triangle!!!

Heh,

http://numa.notdot.net/map/43645

wow

u may be "naturally good" at math but u did this one wrong answer is 14.534441.... not 56.7

LOL

me to thats what gave me the idea to make it.
