/sci/ - Science & Math

NO. FUCK YOU. YOUR MATH TEACHER IS A BITCH BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON WHO CAN'T DO SIMPLE ALGEBRA AND IS INCAPABLE OF LEARNING HOW TO DO IT FROM A BOOK. KILL YOURSELF.

shameless bump of justice

>>2096512
Oh thank you, internet douchebag.

*facepalm*

-x + 9 < 8x + 12
-9x + 9 < 12
-9x < 3
x > -1/3

>>2096521
Thanks! Really appreciate it, and I'll admit I'm an fucking idiot when it comes to math! thx again

-x + 9 < 8x + 12
9 < 8x + x + 12
9 < 9x + 12
9 -12 < 9x
-3 < 9x
-3/9 < x

so x > -3/9

Except I would gladly help you if you're incapable of respecting your teachers and your failure is merely a result of your own ignorance. Blame your teacher as much as you will but in the end you're just going to end up working the street as a cum-riddled prostitute drinking excrement for spare change.

Unless of course you'd actually be willing to open a book and try to learn something. Things would be different then.

Please help me understand if I am getting this right...
This is not an equation, right?
Therefore you cannot solve for x, right?
I have seen these "equations" with either < or > before and I don't get it... are we being trolled here or what!?!
PS - Not OP, 140 IQ

would you like a cookie?

and it's called an inequality, since there's no equal sign.

>>209666

Not sure if troll but oh well (nice trips btw)... With a < or > (or ≤ or ≥) -, it's called an inequation. You can solve it in pretty much the same way as an equation, but you have to be careful because the "direction" can change. Obviously, the solution will be like x > something or x < something, not a single value.

please tell me this is an troll thread

>>2096521
OH! wait, wait... I get it now.
We are not "solving" for x, rather defining an infinite range of numbers that x could or could not be!
Well isn't this new math some shit! HAW!
<I think I peed a little there>
OH, BTW, IQ was 140 tested at age 8 in '69.

Since when is /sci/ filled with 13-year old retards?

OP here

I don't really give a fucking damn what you think is smart of anything, I know I suck at math and I despise it because it is so fucking uncreative and boring.

I have my IQ at 127, tested in 2007, and get A's in biology, psychology, philosophy, chemistry, Norwegian, Swedish, English etc. But not math, because I fucking hate it.

>>2096558
Oh and for you, I want to learn this shit, I really do. I just can't seem to have the motivation to put energy on it, because every time I try, the teacher is acting just like you, like if you don't get maths, you are a complete fuckwad and won't get anywhere. Those comments from the teacher doesn't really increase my motivation to learn this shit.
So fuck off.

>fucking uncreative and boring.

nope.avi

>>2096772
One solution, and one only. Is that what you call creative?
Even molecular biology is more creative than that.

>>2096787
>Creativity is based on the amount of possible outcomes

>>2096787
Whoever said there was only one solution and approach to everything in mathematics?

I'd don't study Biology, but it looks boring cause there's always only one solution! etc etc

>>2096787
>>2096800
This. And also, you're studying fucking basic algebra. If you're so interested why don't you try to instruct yourself in more advanced maths?

khanacademy.org

Maths is very creative. You just have to get deep enough into it.
Read about some abstract linear algebra; the imagination needed to grasp that is quite something, let alone the creativity needed to think of it in the first place!

>>2096800
Ok, I understand what you are implying. From my perspective though, I find it more interesting with more loose edged subjects, and practical experiments etc. Like one time we tried to extract some DNA from plant cells. That was chemistry and cellular biology in action, I like that kind of shit, not the x>y=4567890+6 shit. That sucks, I really think that sucks.

enjoy.

GTFO

>>2096825
From my perspective, the only shit we do in maths here is sit in a classroom, listening to a teacher, and doing assignments from a book.
In biology we have tested dissection of organs, and in chemistry we once made explosives.
I found the latter to be very intriguing.
That's my perspective, and I ain't really interested in maths because of a very dry teacher and the amount of paperwork, just sitting there, looking shit up with formulas that we have to grind into our sculls because some smartass discovered it. It just seems boring, and really nothing for me.

And now I am going to bed. So good night, you are welcome to discuss how much of an idiot I am without me.
