ah ok i see. at first i didn't understand where the +1 +2 and  +3 came from...but i see that it if i worked backwords...
i^35     35/4=8+3
so i^35= -i

thanks for helping me with that ganesh and ricky

#3 Re: Help Me ! » exponential problem » 2007-02-14 15:13:08

following that way i got...
m=1.565
k=4.082

any one got a spellcheck for that big_smile? lol

Given the coordinates (2, 10) and (5, 60) Write the exponential equation whose graph contains these points.
y=km^x
so i substituted
10=k(m^2)   and
60=k(m^5)
im thinking m^2=10/k   and   m^5=60/k

and going forth like that

ok we know
i° =1
i   =i
i² =-1
i³ =-i
and after this it follows a pattern where i^4 equals 1. how could i write a prrof for this

*sretches*
aight gimme an hour or a day to read that through, lots of problems to go thru so it seems explained simple enough

like a 3 by 3 column or even 2 by 2, or just it in general
i read somewhere about how to solve 2 by 2 columns
like
[ a  b ] 
           } = e 
[ c  d ]   
and so ad/cb=e  or something like that but for some numbers it didn't always work
and is there one way to solve all of the matrixes or do you have to use different methods for each

name is jonathan, i joined this cuz i love math as much as i like playing my alto sax(which i do like to play a lot). im a sophomore in high school but i learn fast and am fast on solutions within the extenet of my knowledge. i joined mathcounts in middle school and was the ranked 3 within our school. now in high school im really lazy about workin cuz no challenges. i recently found out about how i works like normal numbers, and that kept me entertained for a bit. but what i wanna know and this is the reason i joined, is how matrixs work. like

2x+y+z=4
3x+2y-4z=2
x-y+3z=6

i dunno if thats possible just made up numbers, but i learned to solve it with algebra. but when i asked my teacher how to solve it with a matrix he said he wouldn't tell me cuz u learn it in a higher level math course called linear algebra. i looked it up and found so many different things on it but none i could understand.

so wussup everybody?:D:D
