Okey?

smoky yacht
#

?

#

Do you mean dm?

fathom idol
#

Yes

#

why

smoky yacht
#

Ok come

hazy wagon
#

the answer is 2

#

u want me to explain?

smoky yacht
#

It is askinh ratio💀

#

*asking

#

@hazy wagon

hazy wagon
#

ok

#

still 2

#

2/1 is a ratio too

smoky yacht
#

Explain

hazy wagon
#

first of all u have to write them all in one kind

smoky yacht
#

Ok

#

Next

hazy wagon
#

like B=4A

smoky yacht
#

Hmm next

hazy wagon
#

cuz if you multiply 1/4B with 4 you find the B

smoky yacht
#

Yea now i got it

#

Ty

#

@hazy wagon

#

: )

hazy wagon
#

then you have to do the same thing for c

hello

latent valve
#

2x^3 + 3x^2 - 17x - 30

#

how do I long divise that from x+2

#

I got -15x-30

#

but not sure if it's right

lilac flame
#

just multiply (x+2)(-15x-30) and see what's the remainder

latent valve
#

ohhh

#

okay

#

@lilac flame I got it wrong

#

can you do that math thing where you get the bot to show me how to do the math

#

how do you get the square root of an equation with only two terms though?

ex. x²=5x

or equations like 3x² - 5 = 4

fierce wharf
sharp spindle
#

divide both sides by x

#

For the first one

fierce wharf
#

okok

#

for the second one?

sharp spindle
#

Move the 5 to rhs

fierce wharf
#

continue

sharp spindle
#

Divide by 3 and square rt

fierce wharf
#

5 ÷ 3? ssigma

wind cloak
sharp spindle
fierce wharf
#

-5

wind cloak
sharp spindle
fierce wharf
#

ohh

#

okay continue

sharp spindle
fierce wharf
#

-1

sharp spindle
#

It was -5 on the lhs, so it will become +5 on the rhs

fierce wharf
#

oh mb so

x² = 4-5

#

?

#

chat i cant understand this without the illustration

sharp spindle
#

4+5

fierce wharf
#

x² = 4+5
x² = 8

#

then jst find the square root of 8?

sharp spindle
#

What is 4 + 5?

tired brook
#

9

fierce wharf
#

WAIT NO

#

im tweeking omfg

#

im so sorry😭🙏

sharp spindle
#

Nah it’s ok

#

So 3x² = 9

tired brook
fierce wharf
#

so i devide it by 3?

sharp spindle
#

Yep

fierce wharf
#

thanks dude

#

i just woke up earlier im sorry😭🙏

tired brook
#

what grade are you in?

fierce wharf
#

g9😿

tired brook
#

9th grade?

fierce wharf
#

i didnt go to class this afternoon so idk what to do

tired brook
#

i mean most kids take algebra that year so its not too bad

fierce wharf
#

😿😿

#

okay but how about
x² = 6x - 9
or an equation with 4 terms like
a² + b + c = d

clear cloud
#

Do you mean quadratic equation ?

fierce wharf
#

yeah

#

i need to find their square roots

clear cloud
#

We just say finding their roots

#

But i got u

#

well for the one you gave, you make one side 0

#

Let say the rhs as usual

#

You have x^2 -6x + 9 = 0

#

Hint : use indentity !

fierce wharf
#

ohh

#

okok i got it

#

thanks

stark pebble
#

For the answer to v), they say +- 0.8, but since cosθ = 0.6 (so θ = 53.1) does it not follow from the standard matrix for a reflection in the z axis that b=-sin53.1 and so b=-0.8 only?

dense breach
#

"One was caught by two radars on the same day with a difference of exactly 10 minutes: the first showed the time at 6:00:00 and the second showed the time at 6:10:00. It was found that the speed of the car in the first radar was 81 km/h, while, in the second radar, the speed of the car was 93 km/h (with the tolerances of 7 points already removed). Therefore, the value of the fines was R$260.32.

After receiving the notification, the driver decided to file an appeal, looking for some argument to cancel the fine. In the justification, the driver included could be in Uniform Rectilinear Motion or Uniformly Varied Rectiliniear Motion.

A very attentive agent received the appeal to judge it and soon discovered that a first notification had occurred on a radar that was at a distance of 21 km (measured in a straight line) from the radar that issued the second notification. He recalled that the highway that contains the two radars in question does not have exits or returns between such radars and that the maximum speed allowed on this highway is 80 km/h.

  1. construct, with justification, a possible function v:[0,10]→R, such that v(0) = 81, v(10) = 93 and v(t) describe the speed of the car at time t, in minutes from the moment it passes the first radar, in a manner consistent with the problem situation."

For the answer to 4., i thought the problem would give me a function or something, without it i do not know how to work, can someone help me please?

trim joltBOT
#

@dense breach Has your question been resolved?

dense breach
#

<@&286206848099549185>

heavy dawn
#

lets see

#

indeed, it seems that what they want is a function quoting "construct a possible function". it seems that the question demands the following: Given two speed camera readings 10 minutes apart with different speeds, and knowing the distance between the cameras and the speed limit, find a possible speed function for the car over those 10 minutes.

#

what was your answer to this question? may i take a look?

dense breach
#

first of all, thanks for your time!

heavy dawn
#

v(0) = 81 km/h, v(10) = 93 km/h,

#

ah no problem

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

well here is a potential answer

#

ever heard ofa veloity function?

#

for the Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion or for arguments sake, UARM, we will use v(t) = at + b for instance

#

for v(0), we will make v(0) = 81

#

are you following ?

dense breach
#

yes

heavy dawn
#

we knw that v(0) = 81

dense breach
#

i was following this line of thought as well

heavy dawn
#

as such, for v(t) = at +b, b will be 81

#

we will then use the other v(t) which is v(10)

#

ok?

dense breach
#

ok!

heavy dawn
#

v(10) = 93

#

as such, we can conclude that v(10) = v(t) for now

#

therefore, v(10) = 10a + b

dense breach
#

i see

heavy dawn
#

then

#

we can say that since v(10) = 92, we will have 93 = 10a + 81, as b = 81

#

after calculting the value of a, it was determined that it turned to be 1.2

#

thus, a = 1.2

dense breach
#

look

heavy dawn
#

we have our final function, v(t) = 1.2t + 81, formerly (v(t) = at + b)

dense breach
#

i think i didnt say something about the problem

heavy dawn
#

did you get lost in the steps?

heavy dawn
dense breach
#

in 2. and 3. i had to prove that the movement wasnt a URM or UVRM

#

which i did

heavy dawn
#

oh

dense breach
#

both

#

lol

heavy dawn
#

oh i see

#

i didnt see wasnt clearly, thought it was

#

so its neither URM nor UVRM correct?

dense breach
#

"2. justify that it wasnt a URM
3. justify that it wasnt a UVRM"

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

indeed

dense breach
#

my bad

heavy dawn
#

according to the question, it was UARM correct?

#

oh one moment

#

UVRM = UARM yes?

dense breach
#

yes

heavy dawn
#

i see

#

however

#

even if they asked you to prove that it was neither URM nor UVRM in the previous question could have nothing to do with the next question yes?

#

look at this part

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

". In the justification, the driver included could be in Uniform Rectilinear Motion or Uniformly Varied Rectiliniear Motion."

#

as such, there is a chance it is one of them

#

which we used UARM for this case

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

the part where he said ". In the justification, the driver included could be in Uniform Rectilinear Motion or Uniformly Varied Rectiliniear Motion." is unclear. what does the sentence "the driver included could be in URM or UVRM mean?" does it mean that he filed that he was URM or UVRM or does it mean that he himself didn't write it and the agent was giving a guess?

#

if this answer is solved, the question will be easy to solve

heavy dawn
#

send the spanish question

#

ill try to figure it out from there

#

it can be an image or text

dense breach
dense breach
dense breach
#

put portuguese to be more accurate

heavy dawn
#

so you were correct indeed

heavy dawn
dense breach
heavy dawn
dense breach
#

here

heavy dawn
#

ok thank you

dense breach
#

me and my friends were trying to use the quadratic function

heavy dawn
#

nah

#

its useless

#

here

#

lets start from over

#

we know that v(0) = 81

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

and v(10) = 93

dense breach
heavy dawn
dense breach
#

hmmmm

heavy dawn
dense breach
#

i see

heavy dawn
#

ok so lets continue

#

what is our question ?

#

can you tell me it?

#

it is to create a function representing the car's speed over a 10-minute period given two radar readings, one showing 81 km/h and the other showing 93 km/h 10 minutes later.

#

correct?

#

therefore

#

we will use a function of the form v(t) = at + b

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

where a =slope and b = y-intercept

#

v(t) = at + b
we already know that v(t) will equal 10, from v(10) and b= 81 yes?

dense breach
#

yes

heavy dawn
#

ok

#

wait sorry

#

v(t) = v(10), not 10

#

yes

#

anyway

dense breach
#

lol

#

its okay

heavy dawn
#

v(10) = 10a + 81

dense breach
#

93 = 10a + 81

#

?

heavy dawn
#

yes!

#

we get 1.2

#

therefore

#

the equation would be what?

#

v(t) = 1.2t + 81

dense breach
#

hmmm

#

i see

#

the only thing about this

#

i mean

#

idk if it is wrong

heavy dawn
#

ah go ahead

#

feel free to have any questions. was my explanation not clear enough?

dense breach
#

nah, you were clear, thank you!

#

is just that

heavy dawn
#

yes go ahead

dense breach
#

in the third paragraph it says that the distance between the two radars were 21km

#

and he travelled it in 10min, right?

#

i calculated the average speed in the section between the two radars and it was 126km/h (if it wasnt this high he wouldnt be able to travel 21km in 10min)

#

so, if hes average speed was 126km/h, there is a moment indeed that he was in a instantaneous speed of 126km/h

#

but when he reachs the second radar, he were at 93 already removing the tolerance of 7 points

heavy dawn
#

sorry my laptop rebooted for no reason

dense breach
heavy dawn
dense breach
heavy dawn
#

one sec

#

good point

#

one moment

dense breach
#

1,2a + 81 is a linear formula, it only goes up

heavy dawn
#

indeed

dense breach
#

yeah i think ypu got it

#

and that is the problem we are facing

heavy dawn
#

thats a valid point

#

hmm...

dense breach
#

thats why we thought of the quadratic function

#

bc it is not linear

heavy dawn
#

You've calculated correctly that the average speed between the two radars is 126 km/h. This means that at some point between the radars, the car must have been traveling at a speed of at least 126 km/h.
.

#

However, the second radar recorded a speed of 93 km/h (after removing the tolerance). This is a clear contradiction

dense breach
#

yeah

#

the funcion cannot be linear

heavy dawn
#

yup

#

one sec

#

this is math + physics lol

dense breach
#

yeah

heavy dawn
#

oh my god

#

you were correct using the quadratic equation

#

after recalculating

#

yes

#

it seems you werent able to use it properly yes?

dense breach
#

a friend is having a greater time than me

heavy dawn
#

very well then. we will use v(t) = at^2 + bt +c

#

lol

#

we have an average of 126

dense breach
#

we are in a vc rn

#

for like

#

HOURS

#

trying to solve this

heavy dawn
#

if the speed increases non-uniformly, the equation will be v(t) = 1.8t + 81

#

however, this is also valid: v(t) = 0.24t^2 + 1.8t + 81

#

what do you think?

dense breach
#

how did you get this? did you make any assumption?

dense breach
#

and that v(0) = 81 and v(10) = 93

#

ill try some values of t

heavy dawn
#

ah for fucks sake

#

tsk tsk

#

it rebooted again. ive been having these problems as of lately

#

ill be with you in a moment to explain in detail

dense breach
#

lol its okay

heavy dawn
#

ok back to the good ol' days

#

we use the quadratic formula

#

v(t) = at^2 + bt +c

#

just verifying..

#

lol

dense breach
#

yeah

heavy dawn
#

howd you even end up with that question

dense breach
#

and said "group up with 2 friends and try this"

#

thats it

#

lol

heavy dawn
#

quick question

#

does this look like the right answer to you: v(t) = 81 + 1.2t + 0.12t^2

#

if yes, ill explain how i got it

dense breach
#

i dont think so

heavy dawn
#

hmm

#

lets see

dense breach
#

i was thinking that the right answer had a - in it

heavy dawn
#

v(t) = at^2 + bt +c

dense breach
#

cuz of the break part

#

yknow

heavy dawn
#

v(0) = 81

#

v(10) = 93

#

v(t) = at^2 + bt +c

#

100c + 10b + 81 = 93

#

10b + 100c = 12

#

b = 1.2

dense breach
#

also this is about calculus I

heavy dawn
#

v(t)=v(t)=0.12t^2+ 1.2t 81

heavy dawn
#

here

dense breach
#

thats why we tried integrating and shi

heavy dawn
#

wait

#

did you say integrating

#

one moment

dense breach
#

yeah

heavy dawn
#

i solved it that way

#

look

#

each time i send a step, tell me if you find it correct or not kay?

#

81 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c

#

using quadratic formula

#

for now

#

correct?

dense breach
#

yeah, c = 81

heavy dawn
#

c = 81

#

yes

#

93 = a(10)^2 + b(10) + 81

#

100a + 10b + 81 = 93

#

ok?

dense breach
#

ok

heavy dawn
#

now get ready

#

its about to get messy

dense breach
#

ok

heavy dawn
#

v = 1/10 ∫^10_0 v(t) dt = 126 km/h

#

ok?

#

the 0 is at the bottom of the sign and the 10 is at the top of it

heavy dawn
#

do i continue? is it clear till now?

#

i tried to calculate this in at least 7 ways

dense breach
#

its okay you can continue

heavy dawn
#

sure

#

put your seatbelt on 🚙

dense breach
#

tbh i do not know how to to integers with numbers at the top and ad the bottom but yeah i know that it exists

heavy dawn
#

you can simply search it. not that hard tbh. when you understand it

dense breach
#

yeah its fine

heavy dawn
#

∫^10_0 (at^2 + bt + 81) dt = [at^3/3 + bt^2/2 + 81t]^10_0

#

we simplify this

#

to (1000a/3 + 50b + 810) - 0

#

then 1000a/3 + 50b + 810 = 1260

#

1000a/3 + 50b = 450

#

1000a + 150b = 1350

#

oh

#

putting some lasagna here, rice over there, fried chicken on top of the counter, bowl of spicy biryani under the fridge, we get this: v(t) = -2.34t^2 + 24.6t + 81. this is the final function. if you need the full steps just tell me

#

does this look okay to your standards? like the goddamn function

#

@dense breach damn you look like your mind just went:

dense breach
heavy dawn
heavy dawn
#

if not then....

#

i will have to call backup

#

Is there something wrong?

heavy dawn
#

yes. i tried to answer this fellows question, however it seemed it was too complicated as it turned out there are several ways to do it

#

ill send the question

#

guess this is my limit as a high school student huh?

dense breach
dense breach
#

tested some values of t and it worked!

heavy dawn

yes

#

no problem amigo

obrigado!

#

how do you know this if youre in high school bro

dense breach
#

thank you!

#

could you please send me the full steps? @heavy dawn

i had an ai write down my steps in an easier way

#

equation 1:

#

now

#

we have another equation that we will use

one question

heavy dawn

#

nah its okay

#

go ahead

heavy dawn
heavy dawn
#

here

#

i wrote it in my notebook, took a pic, and then made an ai write what i had on my notebook since my writing isnt neat

#

so yea, dont mind me

#

ask away any questions

dense breach
#

youre a genius

heavy dawn
#

nah

#

im hoping i just get a good diploma fr

dense breach
#

bro is in high school

heavy dawn
#

im in first year

dense breach
#

doing better than me in college

heavy dawn
#

i wish

#

math is just

#

like damn

#

anyway

#

does this solve your question?

dense breach
heavy dawn
#

cuz...lets see.....

#

In order to clearly show that the driver couldn’t have been traveling under Uniform Rectilinear Motion (MRU) or Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion (MRUV)

#

i just felt like it matched this question the best you know? its more like something you feel

#

with your sixth sense

#

your math sense

#

we are studying integers so lets integrate things

#

lol

i guess my main question is on how you could integrate this right here

and still know that you are in the right track

because we have to write an essay on how we solved it

Is it true that limx->0 (1/x^2) it doesn’t exist? Wouldn’t it just be infinity?

west sleet
#

But the limit of 1/x as x approaches 0 doesn't

tepid prism
#

so the limit does not exist

#

sometimes people call it the improper limit, because we know what happens for really small values of x

Hello I’m confused on what number 3 is asking me to do

#

I’m not sure what to do with x,1/1-x or whatever

vagrant marsh
#

if you plug in x= 1.5 for example, you will get a second point on the graph (Q)

#

then you find the slope of the line passing through the two points P and Q

nova pumice
vagrant marsh
#

imagine it as Q(x) = 1/(1-x)

#

the comma is the ordered pair (x, Q(x))

#

(x, 1/(1-x))

nova pumice
#

So it would just be 1.5, Q(1.5)

vagrant marsh
#

yes

ok thank

can someone check if my (c) and (d) are correct?prayge

burnt mulch
#

You’re supposed to minimise position here

burnt mulch
#

I have no idea what you did here but it’s wrong

blissful geyser
#

since the average velocity is 2 according to (a), then lasting for 6 units should give you 12

#

no?

#

or are you not allowed to do that

#

?

burnt mulch
#

Acceleration isn’t uniform -> you can’t do that

#

@blissful geyser Has your question been resolved?

blissful geyser
#

it's because of the interval (2,4)

#

if you add instead of substracting

#

you would be subtracting and it makes 0 sense since we're finding the 'distance'

#

so we either have to do

#

this

#

or

burnt mulch
#

Distance, not displacement

blissful geyser
#

simply just subtract it!

#

either way works

#

same thing xd

burnt mulch
#

What if the particle switches directions? (Spoiler alert: it does)

blissful geyser
#

no im talking about only this interval

#

this is the answer for (c)

burnt mulch
#

This is fine so I assume what you did is right

blissful geyser
#

take a look at the two points on the green graph

#

we try to calculate the distance

#

between those 2 points

#

but it's going down

#

so it's negative

#

but for distance

#

we always want +

#

so i just substracted

blissful geyser
#

oki let me take a look at (d) now

#

i think we're good on (c), thanksnyanthumbsup

#

ok

#

farthest to the left

#

means most negative

#

aka least value

#

right?

blissful geyser
#

isn't s(t) at its minimum at t = 0?

#

you get (0, -4)

#

isn't y = -4 the minimum?

burnt mulch
#

,w minimize (t^3)/3-3t^2+8t for 0 \leq t \leq 6

solid kilnBOT
burnt mulch
blissful geyser
#

so is the answer 0 for (d)?

#

i mean t = 0

burnt mulch
blissful geyser
#

wait let me double check with the graph rq

#

here

#

we only start from 0

#

because in real life

#

we can't found negative time

#

xd

#

so....

#

it does look like t = 0 is the minimum!

#

tysm now i have a much better understanding of integration!heartato @burnt mulch

the question is flawed

how so?

it merely mentions that the graph passes y=5000 at certain time. the horizontal asymptote is not determined.

#

Therefore both A and B are the possible solution

But the solution insists that B is the one and only solution, since the asympote of the graph should be y=5

it didn't even mark the correct unit'

you know about remainder theorem?

subtle topaz
#

yes

#

but here two questions are mixed

#

f(19)=99 , f(99)=19

#

then?

broken osprey
#

We can judge from the options that the equation is cubic

lusty delta
#

that is fully unnecessary

wind cloak
broken osprey
#

No

lusty delta
#

no they meant cubic

#

but w/e it's not important

lusty delta
# subtle topaz then?

because the divisor (x - 19)(x - 99) is a quadratic, you know the remainder will either be linear or constant

broken osprey
#

Exactly

lusty delta
#

(judging by the answer choices, you can see it's linear. but ignore that for now)

subtle topaz
#

.

lusty delta
#

you have P(x) = Q(x)(x - 19)(x - 99) + Ax + B

from here simultaneously plug in 19 and 99 to solve for A and B

For (b), in order to get 3 distinct colours we can choose 1 from 20 the first, then we choose 1 from 15 because we need to substract 5 balls that are the same color as the first ball, and finally 1 from 10 with the same reason. It follows that we get 20x15x10=3000. However, the total probability is binom(20 3)=1140. Hence there is a contradiction in my approach as the total of cases is smaller than a specific one. Where did I do wrong?

y not choose thr color first

#
  • ur method is wrong bc

it could be like

red green yellow

u counting all them

#

I mean 3000/6=500

wraith hinge

ye i think

i woulda done 4C3 * (5)³

And for (c)

#

lemme think tho

Is this correct?

why u doing 5C1 * 4C1

instrad of 5C2

so like

#

whyd u do 10C1 * 5C1

And then we are choosing 1 from 5

why 1 from 5

#

lower reimann integral

#

and upper reimann integral

wraith hinge
#

I believe you mean riemann sum, not integral

sudden hornet
#

yeah

wraith hinge
#

But how did you define them?

sudden hornet
#

the partition points are given

#

in the set P

wraith hinge
#

For L(p,f) you need to calculate the infimum of the function at each part of the partition, right?

sudden hornet
#

yeah

#

but the graph has a breakpoint in one of the sub intervals

wraith hinge
#

Is that the only part where you are having trouble to compute it?

sudden hornet
#

yes

wraith hinge
#

So

#

The function is almost everywhere differentiable

#

Do you know any relationship between derivatives and minimums/maximums of functions?

sudden hornet
#

yep the derivative is 0 at the maxima or minima

wraith hinge
#

Kind of

#

We can only say that if the function is defined in an open interval around that point

#

For example, for the function f: [0,1] -> R given by f(x)=x

#

The derivative is never 0

#

but it has a minimum at x=0

#

That's because 0 is an endpoint so the function is not defined in an interval around x=0

sudden hornet
#

yeah we have to check endpoints too

wraith hinge
#

We can subdivide our partition further

sudden hornet
#

so like -1/3 to 0?

#

and 0 to 2/3

wraith hinge
#

Yes

sudden hornet
#

and solve both individually?

wraith hinge
#

in the interior points of those intervals the function is differentiable so for those they can only be a minimum if the derivative is 0

#

and for the endpoints you check separately

wraith hinge
sudden hornet
#

for infimum in -1/3 to 0

#

which fucntion will I use

#

is 0 included in the -1/3 to 0 sub interval?

wraith hinge
#

Yes

#

But you can check it separately since it is an endpoint

sudden hornet

Each of the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are to be used once to create 2 distinct 3-digit numbers. Find the smallest possible difference between these 2 numbers.
I got it through brute force but wanted to know if there's a much easier way (which there should be). The answer is 47 by the way.

#

your instincts should tell you that the hundreds place should be close together, and leave room at the extremes for other digits to be used to make them close together

#

like the numbers are gonna be 634 and 587

#

because you reserve small numbers for the 6 and big numbers for the 5

#

and then the tens spot for the 6 should be as low as possible and for the 5 should be as high as possible, because the 10’s place will have more impact than the ones place

Does anyone what I’m doing wrong here?

#

I’m trying to find angle A

#

It shouldn’t be more than 30 degree since that’s where the adjacent in respect to axis x is 30 degrees

simple haven
#

I don't quite understand the diagram

trim joltBOT
#

@loud bobcat Has your question been resolved?

loud bobcat
loud bobcat
simple haven
#

So why not use the law of cosines?

#

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

#

thus

#

A = arccos((b^2 + c^2 - a^2)/2bc)

#

crunching the numbers I get 35.29 degrees. @loud bobcat

#

you said it shouldn't be more than 30 degrees.

#

Are you certain that your lengths correct?

loud bobcat
#

yea the lengths are correct

simple haven
#

then are you certain your diagram is correct?

#

because if the lengths are correct, there is only one possible triangle.

#

and that triangle has a 35.29 degree angle right there.

loud bobcat
simple haven
#

and is this part of 1/2 or 1/3?

loud bobcat
simple haven
#

let me work through the problem really quickly

loud bobcat
#

Maybe my diagram is wrong

#

Not sure though

simple haven
#

that's the most probable result, but I'm working it out

#

so I have the y component of the resultant vector being positive.

#

and my magnitude of the resultant agrees with your magnitude.

#

so the angle is 35 or so degrees

#

@loud bobcat

loud bobcat
#

yea i got it now, thanks

Hello!! I need help solving this question

Solve through factoring
2x² - 9 = 7x

shrewd pewter
#

Ive gotten half way through the problem however the latter half is confusing and I need help

2x² - 9 = 7x
2x² - 7x - 9 = 0
(2x )(2 ) = 0

shrewd obsidian
#

try to write 7 = a+b where $ab=18=2 \times 9$

shrewd pewter
#

I'm so dumb, I'm sorry what?
