High School F***ing rocks

[thedarkfiddler]

Here, I'll post his work.

Let a=b
a^2=ab
a^2-b^2=ab-b^2
(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b)
a+b=b
b+b=b
2b=b
2=1

where ^2 = to the second power

Waht is this? Algerbra? O.o

@tdf

Ah, but what do you get when you subtract b from both sides instead of dividing by b?

[thedarkfiddler]

Or, at the very beggining (a=b) divide by a, to get b/a=1. since b=a, b/a becomes one and 1=1.
Figured that out on the bus

[MagmarFire]

Overall, this would be an instance where dividing by zero occurs. In the end, you find out that b=0, and by assuming that 2*b=b, you get the logical fallacy that 2=1 by also assuming that 0/0 is 1, which is something that I would say would be true in my division by zero theory, but it only really works if it's treated like an object rather than a value.

For instance, value-wise, you could say that 2*0=1*0 (since 0=0).

Divide by zero, however, and assuming that 0/0=1, you get 2=1.

In my object theory, however, you could say that 2*0 != 1*0 because you have two zeros on one side and one zero on the other. This is because that in the original equation of 2=1, you would have to assume the fallacy that 2=1, which is never true. To keep both sides equal (or unequal), multiplying or adding anything to both sides should give you something that is still false object-wise.

The work is a total pain in my ass but the fun outranks it 10 fold.

And no Praetor I didn't just start school, i actually had to start early for football if you remember

[Praetor]

Fiddler - Took me a while to figure that out.

Stormburst - Good luck with Chemistry Honors. I'm in AP US History (same thing as American History), and I can safely say ( Not really. It's an opinion from a history wiz. I do well in subjects where almost everyone else in the class failed.) that the class is easy, but fast.

I heard from my friends that AP Psychology is a good class to take too, so I'll take that next year.

Try figuring out what "t" is...

62e^-.54t = 4 + t

That was the question that caused half or more of the class grief on the test.

[RobSp1derp1g]

Praetor, is that -.54t a power?
GOD, I miss school...

[XAOTL]

School and work as well as two hours on the bus everyday, having to swipein everyday , and going through barriers, as well as making it through the rush hour, making sure I get my EMA. College lif, all I can say is... God, the uni next door is too sick.

According to the order of operations, t approximately equals .1138615259.

If t is a power, however, and if t was mistakenly taken outside of parentheses, then t approximately equals 3.8314556. I had to use a graphing calculator at this particular spot, though; I simply do not see how you can algebraically solve it, even with using logarithms.

[Praetor]

"t" on the left side of the equation IS part of the power.

Note that the "e" is Euler's number.

I should have wrote:

62e^(-.54t) = 4 + t

Magmar - You are pretty close with one of your answers.

[XAOTL]

I find it hard to belive how ironic the title of this thread is.

[Midnightmoon602]

but there is one thing i do look forward to high school.

My anime friends. i mean that all my friends like pokemon and love anime/manga. we can talk about it all day.

That is all i look forward in my high school life. -_-

[Anime Aficionada]

^ LOL. Indeed. I have the same story here. Either that or ethnic diversity and random cultural stuff.

[CICHawk]

As an Asian, I say high school can burn.

Here's a quick overview.

6 period days:
4 AP's (Euro History, Physics B, Chemistry, English)
Grades before junior year (9th and 10th grade): 21 A's, 3 B's
Grades so far in junior year (11th grade): 4 A's 2 B's

Luckily, our GPA is calculated by semester (1/2 school year), and the first quarter (1/2 a semester) hasn't even ended yet. So I still got a chance to fix it up.

Just you kiddies wait until you hit 11th grade too.

Ok, it's not that bad. I'm just not doing as well as I'd like. Still some enjoyable parts, but be prepared to work your brains out (If you plan on taking many AP's)
