Yeah I think if you wrote it in outer product form you could do this, this is what I was getting at and I've done this in the past but I don't know if my math is all correct on it

can anyone explain to me how to simplify this
well first you can cancel x^2 and x^5 to x^3
and do you remember what a negative exponent does?
$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{-1}=\frac{a^{-1}}{b^{-1}}=\frac{\frac{1}{a}}{\frac{1}{b}}=\frac{b}{a}$
yeah it just flips the fraction
yeah
XxMrFancyu2xX
yeah so then what does that imply about your fraction?
$\left(\frac{x^2y}{4x^5}\right)^{-2}=\left(\left(\frac{x^2y}{4x^5}\right)^{-1}\right)^{2}$

So, I have the following problem I’m stuck on: Bailey is trying to hold on to her toy boat. Her brother Quinn is pulling with a force of 5N on a bearing of 52 degrees and her sister Delilah is pulling with a force of 12N on a bearing of 168 degrees. What force does Bailey need to exert and in what direction to keep the toy in equilibrium? I understand the position of the resultant, I’m just confused with how to find the magnitude and the exact direction of the equilibriant vector.
It just addiction
You want to add the vectors up so that one of the axis is zero
Something like this
I was instructed to use “geometric” methods only for the purpose of the unit we’re in. How would I approach this, using methods such as cos law and sine law?
you probably want to ask the person that told you to use law of cosines in the first place because its not obvious to me at least the specific way they want you to solve it. Did they tell you law of sines as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines
@wet vigil Has your question been resolved?
Yep, I was told to use cosine law to find the magnitude and then using sine law and to work towards finding direction
I hope you can ask that person then as I don't see how using only those things to do that without breaking the vector up into components but I guess there must be a way, sorry I couldn't help in that case.
working it out it looks like I have a right-triangle and I have both angles so you probably need to use tangent or something else besides just those two things

I need help please
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
1
find the radius of the small circle first
Radius should be about 4.8
72/pi
and then i took the sqrt of that
yes
next, find the radius of the bigger circle
i do times 4
i suppose?
not quite
it would help to find AB first, then BC using the ratio
AB is the small circle right
yes
radius is 6?
im assuming the big circle is the whole thing
yes, the big circle is the whole thing
yes, but it might be better to write it in terms of pi
or at least use more decimal places
,calc sqrt(72/pi) * 5/4
okay yeah pi would be waay better
Result:
5.9841342060215
hold on
radius of whole circle is what i circled in blue
yup, thats correct
now find the area of the bigger circle, then the area of the shaded part
how do i find the area of the shaded part tho
its the difference of the area of the big and small circles
ahh i see
I got it bro i appreciate it sooo much!

Can someone please help me with this
So i started with the x-3y=8
Oh wait
Nvm
I saw it as perpendicular
Lmao my english
Thats why i got it wrong
Nvm nvm
you just find derivative of x^2-5x+6 and equate it to 1/3
Yeah
I mean
That is setting it equal to the perpendicular line
Shouldn’t we get the opposite reciprocal of 1/3
And set it equal to the deravative of x^2… thingy?
I think you missed that step
Since deravative is the slope of the tangent line and 1/3 is the slope of the normal line
They shouldnt have the same slope
They are opposite reciprocals to each other

would this be 0.5 or 1?
1 means it is guaranteed to get heads
0.5 means there is a 1 in 2 chance to get heads

If any equation is true for all x belonging to real numbers, is it said to be an identity?
Just want to clear on definition of identity
My teacher told me that if x belongs to R then only an equation can be identity
but every number for which you want it to hold
sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x is an (trig) identity
sin(2x) = 2 sin x is an equation
like how most trig identities are identities over x in [1,-1]
you can specify if an equation is an identity over some set of x values
Oh, so over certain range it can be identity
yeah
But If range is not mentioned
assume it's an identity over all defined values of x
Even though there can be any x belonging to R
like for all values where sin(x) is defined
well not necessarily, not all x values satisfy it
I don't get it, is identity related to range or domain though?
well kinda yeah
In sin2x=2sinxcosx which is a equation, all x satisfy it so is it not an identity?
an identity equation means that the equation holds true for all values in some set
not all
only because sin(x) and cos(x) is defined over [-1,1]
not all real values
Isn't the domain of sin2x R
Ohh
It's a identity in general and not just a trigonometric identity, I see
I figured that because it's dependent on range as well
It's okay
So when we say it's identity in general, we mean all values of x satisfy it?
yeah, calling an equation an identity means it holds true over both sides of the equations range is another way of saying it
mhm
as long as the equation is defined
Ohh
Identity over certain range would mean that all values of x satisfy it for that range
yeah
I see
So is quadratic function=0 a identity as well?
There is no restriction to x there
Sorry
so its not an identity because it doesnt hold for all values of x that it's defined for
I mean the quadratic function written in terms of its roots
My teacher mentioned that
And if domain is restricted
We can't write it like that
Is that also true?
hm
i dont see why it wouldn't be

For a suitably chosen real constant a, let a function f: R-{-a}->R be defined by (a-x)/(a+x). Further suppose that for any real number x≠a, fof(x)=x then f(-1/2) is equal to?
I substituted f(x) into x of f(x) and got fof(x) which I equated it to x. Then I got a quadratic equation = 0
(a-1)x^2 + (a^2-1)x+ a(1-a)=0
The only thing I don't understand it, how the teacher called this equation as identity, and equated every terms of the quadratic to 0.
The entire LHS must equal 0, which is only true when the coefficients are 0 (so that when multiplied by any x, the result is 0) and the constant term is also 0.
Why must they be all 0, there is x also
because anything multiplied by 0 is 0
Ohh
They are in sum so can't it be 0+(-5)+5 kind of situation as well?
I don't get why they all must be simultaneously 0
Oh wait
That's not possible because x is there!
I understand now, thank you
Only 0+0+0 is the only option!

Ok so I want to confirm something from what I've learned from my teacher.
If you had a line: y=ax+b
And you got only one point that is (3;2,25). But you need to calculate the slope of that line. Can we just make another point? For the new point that we call B, we have x=3.001 then y=9003/4000. Then we do Δy/Δx, gives us 3/4. Which was actually the slope that we wanted. But I found it weird because no one have mentioned this before. Can we say that this is accurate?
I have no clue how you deduced what y is from x=3.001
If you have a line whose equation is y = ax + b, your slope is a
Oh did you convert it to two points I see
You can't make a line from just one point
Well I think they're given a line
And they wanna find the slope of that line
But if they're given in slope intercept form, the slope is given
💀
Sorry my fault, I mean in the form of y=ax+b. And where we need to find the value of a.
That's what I was thinking too
and a line
Just use the y-intercept as the second point
If they say something like:
"The point (3, 2) lies on the line y = ax + 5, find the value of a"
Then your second point is simply just (0,5)
Yeah this one looks more obvious tho
I don't know how my teachers came up with that.
I mean I've seen it in my books from a long time ago when they introduced the slope and everything
Came up with what
Creating a random new point to find the slope of a line
So this concept is basically not accurate right?
<@&286206848099549185> Can someone please confirm?

@light crystal the theorem is written bilingually
Oh. Is the part underneath just restating it in another language?
Yes. But the explanation in hindi is not required to be translated
I just wanted to understand what this theorem means@light crystal
I'm not sure it seems to state the definition of Riemann integrability was a Theorem.
Advanced Calculus by David V. Widder.
If you start with the definition here you can just pick ξ_k to be x_k' and x_k'' where
$x_k' = \min_{x_{k-1} \leq x \leq x_k} f(x)$ and $x_k'' = \max_{x_{k-1} \leq x \leq x_k} f(x)$.
stabulo
Then you will have
$\left| \lim_{\norm{\Delta} \to 0} \sum_{k = 1}^{n} f(x_k') (x_k - x_{k - 1}) - I \right| < \epsilon$.
stabulo
You've then shown I is equal to the integral represented by the sum on the left. This is because you've shown they can be made arbitrarily close to one another. Similarly for x_k''.
Maybe a typo? Idk.
Yes. I didn't understand these terms. Is it possible to see them graphically?
This?
Oops. I should have x_k' as the point x such that f(x_k') = min .... Make a similar correction for x_k''.
So this function creates an area of it between these xk' and xk"?

how do i find the derivative of $$sqrt(2x^2+1)$$
Daqupz
use chain rule
For using chain rule i wrote it as root y where y + 2x^2+1 so the derivative becomes $$-1/(sqrt(2x^2+1) ) * 4x$$

@kindred mirage
huh
isnt this correct
i can’t read that
since derivative of 2x^2+1 is 4x
yeah it is but what’s your answer
-4x/sqrt(2x^2+1)
root x derivative is -1/rootx
and d/dx(sqrt(x)) = 1/(2sqrt(x))
nope

Thank you. But, how can it follow the product rule when we only have f(x) and not another function, g(x)?
Or, am I misunderstanding something?
Yes
do you recognize that your function has a product of two functions
Are ln(x) times x two different functions?
Ah, so
f(x) = -x
g(x) = ln(x)
f'(x) * g(x) + f(x) * g'(x)
-1 * ln(x) + x * (-1/x)

No, that is a particular type of right triangle. As long as there's one right angle and the other two sum to 90° it is a right triangle.

I want someone to confirm the following, if we can want to simply $-\frac{1}{p}+\frac{5p}{p}$ does it mean that the negative sign is only for the $-\frac{1}{p}$? So we can't say that the simplified version is $-\frac{(1+5p)}{p}$ right? But $\frac{-1+5p}{p}$. So what I mean is that the negative sign can't be put over the whole numerator 1+5p right?

Given this graph, would these be correct
I'm unsure if they would be infinite but there's no point and the lines seem to keep going with the arrows.
How is the first one "positive infinity"?
This one? Hmm so if the line goes on infinitely up and down, would it be +-? Or a DNE or something else?
Line goes downward, in the direction of negative y-axis. Right?
Same as on the left side of x=6
Oh here, there's another arrow up top
SO, why does infinity changes sign on the right?
That's far from 6.
You need limit at 6.
Ohhh so I would look for the closest one? Which goes downwards so, - infinity as well?
Yes

hey how should i do to solve the indeterminated form to find the limit in -infinity
i tried to do e^2x+5*-3x+9 but it would also be an indeterminated form
What is x tending to?
-infinity
l'hopital is probably easiest?
Yeah
Yeah
i dont want to use l'hopital
cause thats not how we do in france
and ppl say teachers dont like that
Well, you can do it directly as well. You'll have to use the fact that exponential infinity is way bigger than linear one and therefore it's zero from that directly.
is it correct to do directly like that ?
whats the other way i could use to solve the indetermination?
It says the same thing.
Once again, you are trying to restrict yourself to doing things in particular form. Rather try to understand the idea behind it.
$e^{2x-5} \cdot(-3x+9)$
of e^x/x for x+inf would be +infinity beacause e will grow faster
Enemagneto
Only with certain other forms.
Like - Exponential function at positive infinity is always very very big than a polynomial one at positive infinity.
log(x) grows slower than any polynomial.
Also, use them properly.
Except for zero one. Lol
tbh ive always been using both knowing they are linked but not really knowing how
lol
log is with a base of 10^
The correct representation is:
$\log_{a}{x}$,
Where, $x > 0, a >0$ and $a \neq 1$.
Enemagneto
i dont really understand this representation
Generally, that's the standard although, honestly, it's different in different scenarios. In computer science, it's often considered to be 2.
Here, a is called the base. x is called the argument.
Yes
Although, it's still wise to explicitly mention.
Hmm... There must be a way. If not, you can use your mathematical knowledge to get around it.
Give me a moment.
because that's the most common one.
,tex If we have $x = a^{n}$, where x and a are both positive, and $a \neq 1$,
then we can write the same equation in form of logarithms like this - $$\log_{a}{x} = n$$
So whenever we have, $\log_{a}{x} = n$, It is same as writing $x = a^{n}$.
Enemagneto
Now, for example,
if we have $ 25 = 5^{2}$, we can write $\log_{5}{25} = 2$.
Enemagneto
@high valve Makes sense now?
Alright. I'll explain that.
,tex In cases, where base of logarithm is $e$, i.e. $\log_{e}{(x)}$,
we omit writing the base of logarithm and (can) write it as $\ln{(x)}$.
So, writing $\ln{(x)}$ intrinsically implies that the base is e.
$\ln{(x)}$ is also known as natural log.
ah its really clear now
Enemagneto
it was only created to make it easier cause the log base e is often used?
Yes. Number e is special so yeah.
and instead of writing Loge(x) just ln(x)
thank you for the little explanation and help 😄
Switching from any base to any other base is really simple. I think you must know that from your logarithm lesson.
You can use that to solve issue of not knowing how to change bases on your calculator.
i think we've seen mostly base 10
In scientific stuff, you'll almost never see base 10. Base e is most common.
Btw, you are French. Right? How much does it annoy you when someone like me says "Bonjour!", and then goes back to speaking english? Lol
yeah im french ahah i dont mind tbh its classic shit
Yeah. Well, conversion is easy so it shouldn't be a problem for you.

How can I write the domain of f(x) = x/(x^2 - 25) ?
To me it seems like it would consist of all real numbers except for 5 and -5 I just don’t know how to write that in interval notation
requiring 5 and -5 to be excluded splits R into 3 portions
the part to the left of -5, the part between -5 and 5, and the part to the right of 5
try writing your domain as the union of these 3 parts
So something along the lines of (-infinity, -5) u (-5, 5) u (5, infinity)?
that's exactly it!
Weird. It’s not working on this site

The answer is -13 how did i get this wrong?
third line is -22 not -11
I’m not sure if you’re writing -11 or -22 but you multiplied by 2 on both sides in the first step so.. should he -22 from there
oh, so in the first step you multiply 2k-11 by 2? i thought you only devide the 2 in 6k+4/2 and multiply 2k by 2
i did write 11
-11*
Your handwriting is not very legible
Numbers flying everywhere, cancels
What is the original question?
i was writing fast
ill write it neatlty ^^
Here
Oos
Wrong image
here:
,rccw
no no, i solve it, i didn't multiply -11 in the first stpe
instead of -26, i devided it by -11, because i didn't multiply it by 2 like i did with 2k
yea, also i have a question, if had more numbers in =2k-11 for example: =2k-11+3 would i multiply that by 2 also?
You would simplify the “-11+3” first ideally
You would have the same answer though
If you simplified “-11+3” then multiply
Or just multiply and simplify
,rccw
Yeah
why not 2k?
hm, i thougt in these cases you would only divide the denominator to simplify it and do it on the other side too
Wdym?
𝕏
The 2s cancel out basically
oh ok,
btw, in other equations, how would i know what to simplify first? for examplle this one: 2(4–y)–3(y+3)=–11
would i simplifiy the ones with the variables first or not?
ok, but i meant like when you get to here:
how do i know if i simplify the variables first or not?
would it get a different answer?
Yeah it doesn’t matter if you start with variables or not
hm, weird, i did it and gave me different results maybe i just did it wrong haha
yes it’s like if you’re solving 2 + 3 + 4, and you do 3+4 first instead of 2+3
@lapis aspen Has your question been resolved?
is it also true if which numbers/variables you simplifiy with? say i have three variables it wouldn't also matter which one goes with which?

B) Prove that br+s = brbs if r and s are rationa
C) If x is real, define B(x) to be the set of all numbers bt, where t is rational and t ≤ x.
Prove that
b^r = sup B(r)
when r is rational. Hence it makes sense to define
b^x = sup B(x)
for every real x
D) Prove that b^(x+y) = b^x*b^y for all real x and y
I am following Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Rudin Volume 3. I have proved parts b) and c) and need help on part d). My current approach is to prove the above statement by proving sup B(x+y) = sup B(x) * sup B(y) - sup is the supremum of the set, that is the least upper bound. However, this approach fails as we only have b^r = sup B(r) for r is rational.
think you may want to screenshot the thing
because the superscripts did not survive the copypaste
I've proved part a) with a uniqueness theorem given in the chapter. Part b) by representing rationals as integers and manipulating. Part c) by arguing that the maximal element of a set is its supremum and proving that.
Now im stuck on d)
@dreamy zephyr Has your question been resolved?
Ok i may have got it, I will proceed by proving the supremum of B(x+y) = the product of supremum B(x) * supremum B(y), the crucial logical step is in realizing that the supremum of a product is equivalent to the product of the supremum of the multiplicands

solve
so,
I know what to do if it was just (x-1)(x+2)>0
but I don't know what to do now that it has an x in front
so you know the number line / wavy curve / sign table method yes?
the one where you mark the zeros and study the sign of your thing in the intervals between them
i think i might've already walked you specifically through it at least once before
@humble thistle
yes
the same method still works
you just have one more point
and thus one more interval
in fact if you can completely factor your polynomial then it doesn't even matter how many factors you have -- the method will still work with all of them
let me give it a try

Hello, just asking a quick question on what makes a function rational or algebraic (?), It's been a while and I just need a refresher
I've got a couple of example questions if needed
In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers; they may be taken in any field K. In this case, one speaks of a rational function and a ...
In mathematics, an algebraic function is a function that can be defined
as the root of a polynomial equation. Quite often algebraic functions are algebraic expressions using a finite number of terms, involving only the algebraic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and raising to a fractional power. Examples of such funct...
sqrt(x) is algebraic but not rational
oh.. that explains a lot lol

I have a question about expressing projections in Cartesian Form. I've tried to solve this problem by solving for missing angles but I don't understand how to properly find F2 or any of the z components.
@waxen snow Has your question been resolved?
The key is trig functions
You don’t need to solve for any angles
You have all the angles you need
cos(45) = F_1/(F in x direction)
For example
Doing the others is similar
Actually there are some angles you should solve for (angle to y and z axis in b) but those are just 90-listed angle
Because listed angle + missing angle sweeps an entire quadrant
And is thus 90 degrees
I came up with a this to find the angles. But I mean I'm not exactly sure how to find the Z components. Since all I've seen has been to use cos/sin to find just the x and y
For example I found the x component and y components of F1 by doing 300cos(45)I and 300cos(60)
But the z axis I'm clueless
<@&286206848099549185>
It’s the exact same idea for the z axis as what you did for x and y
You know the hypotenuse and the angle of a right triangle
Therefore you know all the sides and angles

i'm a bit stuck right now with letter b, i've tried using nPr with n = 7 and r = 2, i.e. 3(7!)/5! - the numbers that start with 0 and end with 2, 4, or 6 (which came out to 12), however the answer of 114 is not correct according to my book. can anyone help me figure out what values i'm missing?
my thought process for this is that the last digit is locked, therefore there is only 2 numbers to choose from out of 7 (for ending in 2. multiply by 3 to solve for 4 and for 6). due to the stipulation of being unable to start with 0, i subtracted all the potential solutions which start with 0, which is
(012, 014, 016, 032, 034, 036, 052, 054, 056, 072, 074, 076), however i'd still be missing 6 solutions (according to the book, since the correct answer is apparently 108) to be subtracted and i'm not sure how i would find them
Can you show this calculation? I'm not getting 12.
it's the length of the set of {012, 014, 016, 032, 034, 036, 052, 054, 056, 072, 074, 076} which is 12
What if the second digit is even?
4 for each 1, 3, 5, and 7, times 3 for each 2, 4, 6 on the end
wouldn't that not be allowed due to the permutation calculation which was done before?
WAIT
i see it now i think
like if you had 042?
that's one example
alright, i think that's what i was missing then
Yeah, each of 02-, 04, and 06- have two possible endings
By the way, there's a much easier way to solve this one that doesn't require any case counting.
i figured there was, i just don't see it
Ask yourself how many digits can be last. Then ask how many can be first. Then ask how many can be in the middle.
so like
7 digits can be first, 3 digits can be last, and 6 digits can be in the middle?
not quite. You need to consider them in order, because once you've used a digit in one place you can't reuse that digit
or wait no 6 digits can be first
yeah, that's it
it appears as though i have overcomplicated the work that i needed to do
Just note that choosing the last digit first is important because if you pick one of the other digits first then you'd have to break it up into cases of whether you've chosen an even number or not.
Indeed you did, but I think you came through with a better rounded understanding for your trouble.
There will be other questions where you have to count too many things and then subtract the overcount.
you're welcome

you simplified the first correctly

I've been having issues with this one
I know the answer to be 1
But don't know how to get there
I tried adding 3 on the other equation
Than logging both sides
I assumed if both sides are logged by the same log base, the arguments are the same
So then, I did x=-3x+13
But it gives me 13/4, not 1
x = log(-3x + 13)?
if you log both sides, then the 10^x will turn into x (since log(10^x) = x), and you would need to do the same thing from the other side
give me a few moments to think this through but i should be able to help
Alright thank you.
what i've gotten so far is that x = log(13 - 3x), from there it's more logic than algebra but 13 - 3 is 10, and log(10) = 1, so 1 on both sides would make the equation work, however i'm sure there is an actual algebra-based way to make it work
True. I think I got a question to ask tomorrow. I appreciate it.
of course :) i'll keep trying to see if i can find a solution still

Could I get an explanation as to how it's possible to eliminate the denominator with the numerator for the 1st integral but then use the eliminated denominator for the -1 numerator for the 2nd integral?
they just split up the fractions
$$\frac{u^2+1-1}{u^2+1}=\frac{u^2+1}{u^2+1}-\frac{1}{u^2+1}$$
light
its just similar to
starlight
$\frac {a+b+c}{d+e} = \frac {a+b}{d+e} + \frac c {d+e} = \frac a {d+e} + \frac b {d+e} + \frac c {d+e}$

Thank you for feedbacks
yes
all good
But start by making everything a common denominator
wait a sec I'll send a pic
this is where I'm basing on, the pic I send first is just the first step of the first step xd
I'm so bad at math xd, already forgot
I’m on the last part sec
rather than getting all the terms under the same denominator, you can also multiply both sides of the equation by (x+3) to cancel out the existing denominator.
okay, take your time, Thanks much
that's what I'm wondering
is it just an alternative, no particular reason?
its an alternative that can be utilized, yes. putting all the terms under the same denominator seems unnecessary.
I totally relate
I did it the long way
But that’s just how I usually do it
Just rember that x can’t equal -3 either
It doesn’t apply to this problem but
Thanks a lot guys @foggy drift @maiden zinc

Hi, I was wondering how to solve the abolute last equation on this problem
Like how does he go from the 4/3 pi dr^3/dt=-k(4pir^2) to the solution
Here is my work so far:
treating r as a function of t, what is d/dt (r^3)?
0
no
treating r as a function of t
is a very important statement
indeed
Oh
one second let me solve this out
@hallow spruce tysm
just as a question
why is r a funtion of t
is it not just the ratio of the sphere
is it because its shriking with time?
well the surface area depends on the time, but the surface area is completely determined by the radius
Would that still not make the radius independent as it helps define surface area
Because the equation is alredy modeled as respective to time due to dv/dt and then v/s are respective to radius no
so wont it make t and r independent factors
not at all
at a particular time, if the surface area is at a particular value, then r can't be any old number
if the surface area is changing at a particular rate, then the radius must also be changing at a (different) particular rate, since neither 4/3 nor pi can be changing at all
idk if "dependent variable" is very good wording, hence why I said that r is a function of t
Ok so as a correction
anything that changes with time would be a funtion of t in these real world problems
that's basically the layman's definition of a function, so yes
Ok that makes sense
K would not change with time tho because its always the same constant of proportionality regardless of t
correct

So I already graphed it
looks like this
is the shaded region just
between 0 and 1
also
because y=e^x and y=x
i am getting no solution
@lost trout Has your question been resolved?
the shaded region should extend indefinitely to the left but they only want you to graph the positive finite bit given the axes they gave you

When evaluating the integral I got this

You can evaluate the limit directly as they follow the limit laws
@spare pawn
so for functions that are continuous, composite of these functions are also continuous over a common domain
hence you can directly sub x=6 to look for the limit

hello, can you help me how to solve this equation of circle in standard form?
find the center, find the radius, plug 'em in the template. results may vary depending on what you are starting with.
do you know in general what the equation of a circle in standard form looks like?
(x+3)² + (y - 1)² = 64
yes
i'm struggling in solving
TvT
can u show me how to solve it step by step? TvT
if it's okay TvT
What are you asked to find exactly?
the radius and the center?
yess
okay so
\dm
for [
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
]
the radius is $r$ and the centre is $(h,k)$
what is ?
i dont know TvT
like what two same numbers when multiplied give you 64
you mean what numbers can multiply to equal it in 64?
yea sure
oh i think 3
i dont know TvT
