🔒 My hw is due in 2.5 hours and i'm stuck

[quick sapphire]

notice how the first line is identical to the input

[magic garnet]

yea

[solar bronze]

f1 = ...

[magic garnet]

f0 * r**1

[quick sapphire]

almost

i think there's a problem with the wording in the problem statement

i think it gives the wrong idea in this regard

its easy to spot with good mathematical reasoning but maybe not something that should be expected at entry level

[quick sapphire]

if you are blind to these kinds of implications, this is the natural conclusion to come to

[magic garnet]

so then you got no choice but to tell me the answer?

[quick sapphire]

no

[solar bronze]

!e

f0 = 440
r = 2 ** (1/12)

f1 = f0 * (r ** 1)
print(f"{f0:.2f}")
print(f"{f1:.2f}")

[quick sapphire]

.-.

i strongly disagree with sending that

like vehemently

[valid gust]

How close are y'all now

[solar bronze]

They wrote the line. Here we show it's correct

[quick sapphire]

the 10 in the initial sentence and the 10 in the formula are not stated to be the same

[quick sapphire]

they didnt

they wrote10

wait

omfg

im nearsighted

my bad

f0 looks like 10 from where im sitting

[solar bronze]

[quick sapphire]

yeah no its right my bad @magic garnet

[solar bronze]

So, step 1 complete.
Now do f2 🙂

[quick sapphire]

thought you wrote 10 * r**1 not f0

[magic garnet]

lmao

[quick sapphire]

so if f1 = f0 * r (or r**1, its the same)

f2 is ..?

(theres 2 acceptable answers here)

[valid gust]

seriously?

[quick sapphire]

yes?

[valid gust]

damn I don't see the 2nd answer

[quick sapphire]

dm

[magic garnet]

f2 = f1 * r

[solar bronze]

If you're thinking it uses f1 again, it does not
Edit: I was incorrect, both methods are workable.

[quick sapphire]

its the same thing?

[solar bronze]

Calculate it yourself and check their sample.

[magic garnet]

now the car one

[quick sapphire]

i have corrected griceturrble

it is in fact the same thing

(the implict answer was f2 = f0 * (r**2)

[valid gust]

a*(b**c) = a*b*b*b... c times

[quick sapphire]

i still dont understand where our problem was with this

do you have your old code? can u post it again

[magic garnet]

the math

[quick sapphire]

the math is way easier than it was for the last one

[quick sapphire]

you actually got the more "math-major"y answer in saying this

what you said was the nonobvious one

neither Grice nor @valid gust recognized it

[valid gust]

let's take this:

[quick sapphire]

you have the math ability for it i promise

[valid gust]

25 miles per gallon = for one gallon, you get 25 miles

[valid gust]

could you

uh

landscape mode

can't read

[quick sapphire]

yw

[valid gust]

aye

[magic garnet]

so is it

(20 / miles) * dollars_per_gallon

[quick sapphire]

wheres the / coming from lol

you are basically right though yeah

what does it mean to divide by miles

[magic garnet]

like divide

[valid gust]

what do you mean /miles

[solar bronze]

You have dollars_per_mile, just multiply

[valid gust]

isn't 20 the miles?

[magic garnet]

is it just 20

[quick sapphire]

yes

[magic garnet]

20 miles

[quick sapphire]

yes it is just 20

that is what we've been

so desperatelty trying to convey

for 4 hours now 😭

[valid gust]

four hours???

[quick sapphire]

yes

4 hours 2 minutes

[magic garnet]

cost_for_20_miles = 20 miles * dollars_per_gallon

[quick sapphire]

yes

[valid gust]

wait

[magic garnet]

and then put that for 75 and 500

[valid gust]

hold on.... no

[quick sapphire]

wait

NOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOT AGAAIIIIIN

[magic garnet]

?

[valid gust]

[quick sapphire]

[solar bronze]

This one

[valid gust]

lemme pull up paint real quick

[quick sapphire]

.

[magic garnet]

[magic garnet]
