Title: Help with Math!
Post by: Pryvisee on January 31, 2011, 03:37:43 PM
I need some help with some math. Fkin tutorvista doesn't let you do the demo anymore. Damn them. So this is my last resort.

It's something about monomials. I fucked off in class and didn't listen so can you explain how you got the answer. You will be my hero.

Heres the problem.
x^3 y^0 x^-7

It's uh, adding/multiplying monomials.

I think.

Im pretty sure you are simplifying the monomials; so here it is.

1. Anything to the power of 0 is 1; so I rewrote y^0.

2. Anytime you have 2 of the same terms, whether same exponent or not, you add the exponents.

3. If the exponent is a negative value, put it under 1 in fraction form.

Done.

OK so I see. But I don't get why you took away the 1. I know you took away the negative on the exponent and put a 1 on top but what happened to the 1 in the middle? Does it just disappear?

Well, anything multiplied by 1 is the value itself.

You dont write 3x in the format of 1(3x) because it will still equal 3x.

Or 2 in the form of 1(2) because it will equal 2. So 1 is there, but no one writes it because its unnecessary.

The Triforce dot looking sign just means "Therefore"

Since + Therefore
is kinda like
if + then
