This is more of a chemistry doubt.
How do we find the buffer capacity of an acidic buffer with salt conc. A and acid conc. B
So should I close this help channel?
Yes

so i tried to diffrenciate g(x) and applied chain rule to get 3 terms
and when x is greater than 1 , then f (x) can we written as x-1 directly
i tried to put in the values
nvm i got it mb 💀

Hey I’m loooking for vab
So I did I1 = 7/4 which is 1.75 and it’s supposed to be going into the top node so 1.75-8+x = 0 and it came out as 6.25 so i did -6.25 x 6 which came out as 36 which is wrong why
Or can this only be solved using nodal?
You calculated I1 = 1.75
This would only be true if the other side of the 4 Ohm resistor was connected to ground
Ohms law requires voltage drop, not just any voltage
@outer lotus what's vab
The difference in voltages at nodes a and b relative to ground
k i am not close to understanding that. maybe when i get older
Learn about the potential difference
It's not that difficult actually
yea ik know pd
and calculating the resistance
just the basics tho
So we use node b as our reference point
It'll act as ground
V_b = 0
what's that arrow
is that flow of current
Yes, it's the direction of the current at that source
So then we know that the sum of all currents leaving a node must equal zero
We then consider all paths connected to node a
there's only one path
is the question incomplete?
There are 3 paths connected to node a
Current goes from a to b
No, because b is ground
that server is inactive and not tailored
oh got it
Physics is just applied math, so I don't see a problem

I don’t get it
Why is I1 = 7/4? You don't know that the resistor is burning 7V
Namely, there's voltage passing through, and getting burned by the other components

Find three consecutive odd integers such that three times the middle one is one more than the sum of the first and the third
How would I go about solving this? So far, I have
$(2n + 1) + (2n + 5) = 3(2n + 3)$
Vortac
If I add one to the middle one, I'd get an even number
let me see
so using your approach
(2n+1) + (2n+5) + 1 = 3 (2n + 3)
4n + 7 = 6n + 9
2n = -2 so n = -1
substituting n back in, 2n + 1 = 2(-1) + 1 = -1
similarly, 2n + 3 = 1, and 2n + 5 = 3
so the answer should be -1, 1, and 3
It is, but why does the + 1 go on the left?
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
I originally tried $(2n + 1) + (2n + 5) = 3(2n + 3) + 1$
Vortac
That’s a misreading of the problem
The triple should be one more than the sum of the others
Thus the +1 is indeed on the other side
ah okay
I'm doing practice word problems and am trying to wrap my head around the thinking for them
I get most of them right when they're easier, but ones like this I accidentally put one part on the wrong side
"three times the middle one is one more than the sum..."
when I see something like this, I should read it as apply the one more to the opposite side?
It’s one more than the other side, so 1+other side
So yes
But I really gtg to sleep bye

Someone help me how to do this
Try squaring the equation
just square and cube the equations
$x^2 \frac{1}{x^2} = 3^2 = 9$ and $x^3 \frac{1}{x^3} = 3^3 = 27$
DM ModMail for new nickname
wait wait mb mb, i thought it was multiplication
it is addition
if you square both equations you get $x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}+2(\frac{1}{x} \cdot x) = x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} +2 = 9$ this makes $x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 7$

!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
oh okay
Yeah but I don’t think it’s intended
so you can just square and cube the equations and simplify the expression
Squaring symmetrical equations is a very common trick
wyaaa,
This is a 9th grade question btw idk how to do it
you in ninth grade?
Yep
cool, so you got your question answered or you need more explanation
Explanation
okay so you have this equation righht $x + \frac{1}{x} = 3$

Whole square lhs?
yea both LHS and RHS, since they are equal their squares must also be equal
Ok makes senses
so what do you get now
Formula?
yea
X² + y² +2xy
yea but y is 1/x
So it's like x² + (1/x)² + 2(x)(1/x)
yea, and what does the 2(x)(1/x) term simplify to
2x/x
DM ModMail for new nickname
So 7 is the first answer?
yea, that's right, and you can do the same for the second question
Same formula righ
Alright tysm
for the cubed one?
are you talking about this
yes
and what are you suggesting
?
cubing both sides
I dont think OP knows how to do that
I-
(x+1)^3 is not x^3 + 3x + 1 or smth like that
it is not the same process as squaring 🙁
yea its like (x+1/x)^3 = x^3 + 3(x^2)(1/x) + 3(1/x^2)(x) + 1/x^3
then the middle terms simplify to 6/x
so its like x^3+6/x+1/x^3
ik how it will go
yea i think he might need to solve for x
I'm just assuming that sank doesnt know how to cube a bino
Huh what no
No
then what do you suggest
I think rather than assuming, you should wait for them to talk
||You don't get 6/x, you get 3x+3/x||
oh yea mb mb
Which should look familiar, no solving required
yea thanks
only asians learn how to cube a binomial before learning about binomial theory /j

I got this question and I don't know what i did wrong. It's from further mechanics a levels.
The diagram shows a uniform square lamina of side 4r and density 2p attached to a uniform lamina in the shape of a quarter circle of radius 4r and density p. Find the distance of the centre of mass from the edges OA and OB.
this is roughly what the diagram looks like
hit me up if you gotta know where im stuck
can you use integration?
nooo idts
and do u know what the COM of quarter circle is ?
the book told me to find centre of mass and im assuming its using the formula they gave
uh wait
what was the formula?
can u show ur solution
can't tell where ur stuck without seeing ur steps
there it is
so the funny thing is my answers are (3.24, 2.11) and the correct answer is 0.2 below (3.04, 1.91)
and i have no clue how 😂
i might not survive senior highschool ;-;
what was the formula u tried to use?
umm which one?
lets start from the first one
for centre of mass for circle i followed the formula booklet
that they provide during exams
what was the book's formula?
let me ss
which gave me 16sqrt2/3pi
using r=4r and a=pi/4
am i right up to this point?
yes yes my badd forgot the r
but okay, what next?
mhm?
okay so
mass x centre of mass + mass x centre of mass=total mass mutliplied by x
or y but i wanna do x first
so basically i rearranged to get the x with the line on top not sure what its called
i got 32r^2 rho for the mass of the square
4r x 4r x 2rho
then just the midpoint for the centre of mass, 2r
,w solve for x, 2r * (4r)^2 * 2p + (4r + 16sqrt(2)r/(3pi))(4pir^2 * p) = x * ((4r)^2 * 2p + 4pi*r^2 * p)
oh right, i accidentally multiplied the sum instead of +ed
wait so im right?
probabably
the answer sheet is both my coords -0.2
lemme double check
Oh wait, this thing looks weird
oh wait, this is the distance from centre?
if so, u gotta multiply it by another 1/sqrt2
what why
because we need the green distance
not the red distance (which is what we have)
wait
ohhh
wait i never bothered looking for the horizontal component in the other questions how did i still get it right
weird
perhaps u made multiple such mistakes and they somehow cancelled out
but this is definitely sth we must do
oh the other question was a semicircle so the centre must've already aligned with the axis
makes sense then
i guess this type of thing only shows up when its a quarter circle instead of semicircle?
since usually only those 2 types of circles show up
yeah, it doesnt show up in semi-circle, bc there the vertical / horizontal component is same as distance from center
eh its still wrong-
wait my fault
i got it
i put in sqrt3 instead of 2
aight got it
wow thanks man
i almost lost sleep over such a simple detail ;-;

can someone explain how you find the centre of mass in solids, especially in this worked example? im not sure why they did it like that
the first image is just an explanation so i guess thats how im supposed to learn it? but i dont understand it at all ;-;
i want to be able to understand the concept behind this
i'm heading to bed, i'd appreciate it if someone could dm me to teach me about this in case the channel closes, thanks!
hold on
hey hey im not asleep yet
$\overline{x}=\frac{\text{total moment}}{\text{total mass}}$, no?
Green
nice
yes it should be, right?
yea
by the way what do u call the x with the line on top
first we can multiply both sides by the total mass
overline i guess?
wait i got another question
we know the total mass is $\frac{1}{3}\rho\pi r^2 h$
Green
is this the same as the 2d stuff i did up in the channel before? like you take out pieces of the shape so its big shape-small shape??
does it work the same way
so $\frac{1}{3}\rho\pi r^2 h\overline{x}=\text{total moment}$
but before they were squares and circles
sorry i dont know about the other channel
Green
ah okay
hm not too sure sorry
total moment is the sum of the moment of those thin slices mentioned in the textbook, right?
yes
by the way
does the overline x=30/13 we get start from the bottom of the cone?(the bigger base)
why did they substract by a in the end
we can consider the total moment to be $\int_{0}^{h} \rho \pi x y^2 dx$
in the examples?
okayokay
Green
forgot rho 😔
why pixy^2
moment is mass • distance right
each slice has mass rho pi y² and the distance from the y - axis is x, so we consider that
okay so we equate this with what have from earlier
$\int_{0}^{h} \rho \pi x y^2 dx = \frac{1}{3}\rho\pi r^2 h$
Green
y=r/h x, no?
you can make the substitution and see how terms cancel out, and then evaluate the integral
sorry i was tryn understand the book but failed so im bac😂
okayokay
if you do that, you get centre or mass as 3h/4
oh 😭
this is basically the derivation
I SEE IT
skill issue on my part but should be fine
🗣️
happens dw

In this case where would p be located and how do I do part b
oh whoops 
amazing p = a substitution out of nowhere
its the value of x at which the volume of revolution between said x and 20 is equal to 360pi
sorry I'm on a phone
on a shaky train
basically draw a vertical line between o and 20 in figure 2
the volume you get from spinning the area to the right of the line
up until 20
Alr
ok
so if i asked you to find the volume of revolution of y between x is 2 and 20
would you know how to?
yes
the p comes in because it is that lower limit
you dont know what it actually is
you'd get an expression in terms of p
Wait I’ll give u visualization can u explain
because you've plugged the p in
you'd get the volume in terms of p, since you're plugging it in as the lower limit
Where’s p tho
like in line 3 of the solution of b
oh those are marking guideljnes
Yes
they might be incorrect on purpose
Ye ye I looked at it the other way around
It’s official Edexcel
They cannot be wrong
as in they need examples of incorrect answers so that markers know what to give for incorrect answers
nah I dont mean the mark scheme is wrong, I mean the scheme has examples of incorrect answers ppl would write
see the bold text at the top of this

Is Dij = Dji given by the definition of a diagonal matrix? Dij = 0 when i =/ j, which means j =/ i. Does this entail Dji = 0 --> Dij = Dji ??
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
If i'm still in properties, do I need to prove that?
Or is that really it
My proof question is: If D is a diagonal n x n matrix, then D^t is
I was assuming D^t isn't one then you get Dji =/ 0 which is a contradiction
But i didn't know if that was allowed because it seems simple
By definition symmetrical matrices are those which are the same as its transpose.
I'm being asked to prove it though
And we have been going over properties of VS so do you think its more formal than that?
Again, if you can appeal to D being symmetrical, then thats kinda it.
If you had to prove it, then you should probably appeal to the fact that, for square matrices, the transpose doesnt alter the diagonal

where do i go from here
i did integration by parts twice but it just ends up giving the same thing
let I = integral
from what you've found,
$\int e^{2x} \cos(3x) , dx = \frac{1}{2} e^{2x} \cos(3x) + 3\int \frac{1}{2} e^{2x} \sin(3x) , dx$
Flatus
apply another application of IBP on the RHS
you should then get
$\int e^{2x} \cos(3x) , dx = \frac{1}{2} e^{2x} \cos(3x) + \frac{3}{4} e^{2x} \sin(3x) - \frac{9}{4} \int e^{2x} \cos(3x) , dx$
Flatus
move that integral to the lhs
$$\frac{13}{4} \int e^{2x} \cos(3x) , dx = \frac{1}{2} e^{2x} \cos(3x) + \frac{3}{4} e^{2x} \sin(3x)$$
Hence,
$$\boxed{\therefore \int e^{2x} \cos(3x) , dx = \frac{4}{13} \left[\frac{1}{2} e^{2x} \cos(3x) + \frac{3}{4} e^{2x} \sin(3x)\right]}$$

Question, before you post them here, do you run a script in python for some reasonable bounds
Idk how too
Yes
How?
Growth rates
Denominator grows much faster than the numerator
For solutions to exist, you get smth like m ≤ n log 3 + O(1)
True, but there could be a very large value of n that works
I mean the aim is to prove that for large enough n, D_m,n > N_m,n
With this constraint on m
Yes, that’s mainly the aim

Yo, I translated this task from german to english with Chat gpt, so i hope it makes sense.
My problem is on a) the last part which says "With what probability does the actual value of X exceed the expected value E(X)?"
i translated it into english fully because i had no idea what it was about
hopefully the translation is accurate
are u german?
no no, i used the screenshot auto- text translate thing
loll
anyway, the real value of x (the actual number of red balls in the container) is different from the expected value e(x)
so after you found the standard deviation, in either the positive or negative direction
(which was the second subdiv)
ye its around 1,13
you now have to find the probability of the deviation being in the positive direction (i.e. more than expected value)
did that answer your doubt?
wait i needa think
cool cool dw
do i need the sigma rules for that?
prob ye
yeah you do
yep
do i just have to do the weird u-1,13. So 1,6-1,13 and thats 0,47 which means 47%?
wait no
that makes no sense 1 sec
same thought process lmao
wait im not sure if you need the sigma rule here
aight
i think you need to calculate each and every one of the outcomes and do it
but thats so tedious
wym
aight
the 47%??
yh
how close
but uh- your initial answer is wrong
by a bit
its 1.6
unless my translation is wrong
and also its 0.497 so 49.7% prob
u mean the standard deviation?
m-m, e(x)
what is 1.6
- An urn contains 4 red, 6 yellow, and 10 blue balls. n balls are drawn with replacement. The random variable X describes the number of red balls, and the random variable Y describes the number of yellow balls among the drawn balls
looked a bit confusing
lol
is this considered cheating on math
will i get kicked out of this channel
also did your doubt get answered?
@twin venture
i got confused what is e(x) and what value is the standard deviation
i got for e(x)= 1.6 and the standard 1.13
seems right
what do u mean by that?
now you need P(X>1.6)
do i need to round 1.6 to 2 or 1?
what is greater than 1.6
2
okay 2
yes
from x = 2 to x= 10 right?
no, as long as it helps we can fuck english
because i draw 10 times right?
thats not why we fuck english, but yes
bruh that takes ages
X holds value of red balls how many red balls are there in total?
4
right
mb 2 to 4
oh now i get it
because (we call it k) is the total of hits u can get, and u only can get 4 hits because theres only 44 red balls
right?
hope that makes sense
you are only counting for P red balls they can be from 0 to 4
ye
yh
yes yes
thats right lol istg im running on 9 hrs of sleep in 72 hours and no caffeine
have good sleep
take that sentence outta context rn
oh i forgot replacement
tyy i will try
@twin venture
ye
you need P(X>=2)
to 4 or 10
you can do 1 - P(X<=1) = P(X>=2)
that what i did originally
oh
okay let me try
X = 1 as well
yh sorry dc sometimes sends my msgs in the middle of me sending em
do u guys know how to do the shortcut on an calc
gdc?
theres an long way but ik theres an shortcut
1sec
heres the long formula
but there was wan easier way on the calc
aight
scoob
OH
lol
the only reason i know that >= and <= means that is cuz of IT
we had it in microsoft access
for some reason haha
did you get the answer
😭
oh i didnt saw that
this is way easier to calculate tho
i forgot replacement you have to do till x= 8 this way
you can use a sci calc
i got one i think
do this
because n= 8
oh i see
0.498
after putting into calc i got 49.66≈49.7%
great 🔥🔥
I appreciate all your help
me too lmao
I SAW THAT
YOU THINK WE WERE HEL?
IM OFFENDED
also youre welcome, no problem <33

- An urn contains 4 red, 6 yellow, and 10 blue balls.
A total of n balls are drawn with replacement.
The random variable X describes the number of red balls, and the random variable Y the number of yellow balls among the drawn balls.
a) Let n = 8.
Sketch the corresponding binomial distribution of the random variable X.
Calculate the expected value and the standard deviation of X.
With what probability does the actual value of X exceed the expected value E(X)?
b) How many balls must be drawn at least so that the expected value of the random variable Y is greater than 5?
What is the standard deviation of Y in this case?
c) How many balls must be drawn at least so that the expected value of X is at least 1?
d) How many balls must be drawn at least so that with at least 90% probability, at least one red ball is drawn?
Start by expressing the probability that after drawing n balls, at least one red ball is drawn
(0,2)^n
hmm, how did u get this?
4/20 balls are red so 0,2 and u draw n times
heres the original
not all red balls
this calculates the probability that in n draws, all the balls are red
if u want a hint, start by calculating the probability that in n draws, no balls are red (which is the opposite of at least one red ball being drawn, which is the probability we need)
You need number of balls such that P(X>=1) >=90%
(0,8)^n > 0.9 ?
so P(x=1) ... P(x=8) >= 0.9 ?
all balls are red
then its wrong
ye but idk any other thing
Okay, the idea is that instead of calculating this, which is complicated because there are many P's, we will just do 1 - P(x = 0) >= 0.9
1 - P(x = 0) is the probability that x isn't 0, meaning that at least one red ball was drawn
does that make sense?
ye
alright, and can you calculate P(x = 0)?
ye, 1 sec
it'll be dependent on n
i got 0.83 but thats wrong, right?
Yes, that sounds wrong
1sec
it should depend on n
P(x = 0) is the probability that no red balls are drawn in n draws
im at 1- ln(1-0,2)
U are overcomplicating this massively
my calc says 1,22
Yeah, this should be a sign that it's wrong lol
how did u even get ln in?
ill try to do it in paint 1sec
i tried to ge the n down
hope that makes any seense
is this 1 - P(x = 0)?
ye
then its correct, until that ln thing
you cant just put in ln when its not there
that'd be like having 4 + n^2, but I dont like the square so ill just do square root and say that it's 4 + n
obviously 4 + n^2 isnt the same thing as 4 + n
we cant just apply random functions whenever we want
sup
yo
but we can work with the line above that
it should simplify to 1 - (0.8)^n
but how do i get the n down then
and we want this to be >= 0.90
1 - (0.8)^n >= 0.9
yep, and now that's an inequality and not just an expression. Now we could apply logrithms to both sides and actually make progress
but first, start by some simple manipulations to isolate the (0.8)^n
wym by isolate?
make one side (0.8)^n and put everything else on the other side
When you do that, you have to flip >= to <=
yeah
oh
but when we multiply or divide by negative number, we have to flip the >= sign
(0.8)^n <= 0,1 ?
5 > 3; -5 < -3
alright, now we can either solve it by guessing n, or use logarithms (and then round it appropriately)
if you wanna do logarithms, do log base 0.8 on both sides
but if you do this, keep in mind that log base 0.8 is decreasing and so you'll have to flip the <= sign again
ill need an minute on that one
okay ill just wrote everything else down and im not quite sure how to write that down, because i didnt use ln that much
if i ln(0,8) in my calc its -0,223
should i write only that instead of the (0,8)^n ?
when you ln both sides you should get $\ln\left(\left(0.8\right)^{n}\right)\le\ln\left(0.1\right)$
MathIsAlwaysRight
no
we dont ln just 0.8, we ln (0.8)^n
the inequality isnt solved yet
now the reason why this is useful is that by log laws
ln((0.8)^n) = n * ln(0.8)
this is waht's meant by "logarithms bring exponent down"
they dont make it magically disappear, they just put it down
anyway, now we have $n\cdot\ln\left(0.8\right)\le\ln\left(0.1\right)$
MathIsAlwaysRight
one last step is remaining
wait i thought we have to flip the <= again
not when we apply ln. ln is increasing
if we applied log base 0.8 though, we would have to flip it
logarithms with base < 1 are decreasing, so we'd have to flip it
ln is base e, which is around 2.7 which is >1 so its increasing and we do no flipping
wow
so if we apply logs with base > 1 we dont flip, if the base is < 1, we flip
anyway, do you know how to solve this now?
im not sure with the > thing everytime i put something on the other side
but i would divide both sides by ln(0.8)
but i would assume we flip
because its negativ
If we add / subtract a number / expression -> we do not flip
If we multiply / divide by positive number -> we do not flip
If we multiply / divide by negative number -> we do flip
If we apply logarithm with base > 1 -> we do not flip
If we apply logarithm with base < 1 -> we do flip
exactly
ln(0.8) is negative, so when we divide by it we do flip
thats smth i gotta save
$n\ge\frac{\ln\left(0.1\right)}{\ln\left(0.8\right)}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
so we should have this
yes
,calc ln(0.1) / ln(0.8)
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Undefined function ln
,w ln(0.1) / ln(0.8)
so what do u think the answer to the question would be?
np

Hi. Can any one prove me how does
aCosB+bcosA=c in a tringle??
do you know the law of cosines?
Draw an altitude down to the side c
Use the definition of cosine in a right angled triangle
Pretty straightforward
Fs
a2+b2-c2=2abcosC?
<@&268886789983436800>
Yep! But more importanly for this proof it also holds when a^2=b^2+c^2-2bccos(A) and b^2=a^2+c^2-2accos(B), you agree?
hello chartbit 
There you go
if you do, then rearrange for the cosine terms, plug into a*cos(B)+b*cos(A) and you'll see the computation simplifies to c and that the identity you've proposed it simply a corollary of the Law of Cosines
You can see that the yellow bit is b•cosA, blue bit is a•cosB, and they add up to c

Could someone help me with this question i dont know where to start
You are supposed to write down two equations and solve them as a system
Idk where to get the equations from
From the bold parts of the text
Is it (L x W) = 50 and L = 3 +2W
No, it says perimeter not area
second eqn is right tho
So the first one is 2L + 2W = 50
Yes
last part
find L and plug it in to see if it fits the two starting eqns
side question: who's this in your search bar
Huh
Oh idk
Microsoft just puts things there
Nelson Mandela im guessing
Oh
The equations didint work
That doesn't seem right
Fixed
do this when you get L

hi I'm just tryna figure out to find the volume of a right pyramid and trying to find the volume and surface area of objects with multiple shapes
,rccw
Hello!! What're you getting confused on?
I have no clue where to start :(
Well, would you like to tackle question 7 or 6 first?
6 first
I do yes
and do you know how to find the area of a circle?
yes
The shape is constructed with a cone with its circular face covered by a hemisphere
what surfaces on those objects are exposed, whose surface area we are to measure?
Both the hemisphere and the cone are exposed but their base isn't
do we find the surface area of the hemisphere first? or is it the cone?
According to the commutative property of addition (that a+b=b+a), it doesn't matter which one we do first so long as we do both
will the surface areas of the individual objects change if we calculate each of them in a different order? no
it wouldn't? right?
it would not
ok
so then I'd just do the regular 3πr² for the hemisphere and πrs+πr² for the cone
and then after that I'd add both surface areas?
oh yeah
so then would I find the surface area for the circle?
I'm confusing myself sorry
so after finding both of the areas of the hemisphere and cone we still have to find the surface area of the "base" (none exposed circle)
or am I skipping something
yes, you're on the right track
what's the area of that circle? πr²
occluded on each shape
it's 113.0973
I usually prefer putting all the variables together algebraically then evaluating
it makes for better practice
so you've got the hemisphere (minus the circle) plus the cone (minus the circle)
so do this but then subtract 2πr²
make sense?
exactly! you don't count the surface area of the part that's covered!
did you get the answer?
I'm gonna be honest, I can't really make out the numbers on example 6 in the photo
the radius is 6 and the height of the cone is 12
I'm almost done with the question
or .close
there
s
3 more parts
no need to rush
haste breeds error
I'm not rushing, just asking
Example 7?
example 6
Oh that's easy
Combination of solids, you can make the calculations easier by taking radius squared as common
lemme recalc
Okay I'll try
i problem did something wrong
so did you evaluate 3πr²+[(πr)sqrt(r²+h²)+πr²]-2πr²
I combined like terms to make 2πr²+(πr)sqrt(r²+h²)
this expression will be too difficult, first solve for slant height
which is sqrt 180 yes
Now onto volume, did yall find volume?
Do you need help to find volume or you know the formulas?
@tribal marlin
I'm trying to figure out my mistake with the area
Hmm, could you show your work?
If you can show your work, we can help you find out your mistake
yeah I can show you my work
Okay show
how'd you get 18 for the slant?
,bccw
,rccw
cause √144=12 and √36=6 and I added the two which gave me 18
you can't do that with roots
18 squared is 324
oh. my teacher told the class to do that..
I think you've tried to split sqaure roots, which is not done like that
It is only when two terms are multiplied, given that neither of the terms are less than one
root ( a x b) = root(a) x root(b) {a, b > 0}
to square root a number you just squared is to get the number you started with
at that rate you're just summing the numbers, which is incorrect
