#How that Imaginary Sum, not what I think it is?

So this is the Mathematical task, hows that Sum not = 2 + 0,73?

My thought behind this "appendix 2"

#

so, why is (1,7i - i) not 0,7i?

#

can It be that I forgot, to acknowledge the + between those two parenthesis?

#

How does that come into play?

#

(1,7i - + i) ?

,w sqrt(3)-1

opaque zodiac
#

They’re just keeping the value exact

#

So you both did the same thing, but you decided to round sqrt(3). In general it’s preferable that you keep stuff exact

#

what you mean?

#

so, I shouldve not Idk how its called, but, not "equated" or what does that mean?

opaque zodiac
#

Well it’s just $\sqrt{3} \ne 1.7$

#

so to speak, better leave the statement, without result

#

since, the answer written down would be not as precise

#

as with a calc

opaque zodiac
#

Indeed. You want to simplify it usually when you can, but in this case $\sqrt{3}-1$ is the exact answer

so exactness over simplyfieing

#

simplyfiing

#

..

opaque zodiac
#

Hum

#

Just leave exact and simplify

#

Rather than use a Calculator

#

It’s not the end of the world and you can still use it to make sure you’ve got the right result

opaque kiln
#

wouldnt simplify mean, to write the result down

opaque zodiac
#

By simplify I mean factor or rewrite in simpler terms for instance

#

Not compute

opaque kiln
#

alright

#

what you mean by factor

opaque zodiac
#

If you ended up with something like $2\sqrt{3} - 2$ you could rewrite it as $2(\sqrt{3}-1)$.

hows that

#

since I mutliply contents of the parenthesis contents?

#

Theres is this weird concepts of taking the contents in a parenthesis and multiply them with a number (like exponent or a number before the parenthesis(hows that number called?)) .I ve got so many problems with that

#

You got any ressource for that?
