Hi,

Please produce both the principal and the square root signs. So I will know thew properly

#327 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-11-14 20:40:07

So if I am grasping it now, the principal square of a number produces only positive number.

Therefore, the principal square root  always infers a positive number.
Am I right?

Please confirm.

#328 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-11-13 22:15:40

The fellow's post is at #38.

What is the subtle difference between, a square root and a principal square root?

Thanks.

#329 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-11-13 21:53:01

Is a member trying to indicate that a  number in a principal square root must have only one answer?
For instance, if 9 is in a principal square root, must it have only one answer 3?

If I am getting him wrong please correct.

Thanks.

How do you do Bobbym?

#330 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-12 00:25:15

Okay.

I will return getting to nıght time.

#331 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-12 00:14:32

Yes I tried to solve it once again and now I have the same answer as the first one, The root was my main problem, but now I have known how to go about that.



Thank you very much Bobbym.

God bless you!

#332 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-11 23:43:30

Yes, Bobbym.

I just want to become used to them, cos in no time I will be teaching others.


Now, I had the same answer for the second question.


I owe you some thanks. :-)

#333 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-11 23:18:05

0.36 *  10-12
= 0.6 * 10^-6
= 6.0 * 10^-7

It looks I was confused by the root.

#336 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-11 22:41:58

Please can you provide the steps?

Thanks.

#338 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-11 22:19:21

Yes. But all are in a square root.

Sorry! the denominator is 2.25 * 10^7

Forgive me.

#339 Re: Help Me ! » Standard Form. » 2013-08-11 21:58:29

1). I had 6.0 * 10^-15

And

2). I had, 6.0 * 10^-9.

Simplify the following, leaving your answer in standard form.

I have solved it but had different solution  from what the book has, I need some assistance.


1) 0.81 * 10^-5/2.25 * 10

2). 0.0048 * 0.81 * 10^-7/ 0.027 * 0.04 * 10^6


Both number one and two are in a  'square root sign'


Please, I would be much obliged if you produce your steps here.


Thanks in advance.

On what basis can time take a negative value?

I haven't heard that before, did he prove why?

#342 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 06:38:43

Candidly speaking, since I started working on indices I haven't seen nor come accros a problem that could produce different bases as your own. As you made 9^(n+2) *3^(n+2) out of 27^(n+2)

Now I think the method that will be applicable to a problem is the one that must be used.




Thank very much Bobbym, God bless you.

#343 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 05:56:21

Now I have learnt that! Thanks much Bobbym!

Okay, back to my question.

27^(n+2) =27^n * 27^2 =  3^(3n) * 3^(6)
.

Why didn't you use  3^(3n) * 3^(6) but rather wrote 9^(n+2) * 3^(n+2).



Thanks in advance.

#344 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 05:30:07

27^n+2=27^n * 27^2

Thıs is how I mean, I will learn parenthesis in it proper way as you say.


For instance, 6^n+3=6^n * 6^3.


Because, for instance, 3^2 * 3^2=3^(2+2).

What do you say.

#345 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 05:10:29

In fact I have not seen an indicial problem being split to get different numbers as the base. like what is in #269.


.Thiş problem is from indices.

#346 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 05:00:55

I suppose the base must always be the same in each case. So I percieved it to be,

27^n+2=27^n*27^2=3^3n * 3^3+2.

I had thought should be so.

#348 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-11 04:21:11

Please,  I double check it I have edited.


Thanks.

Hi;

How did you get,
9^n+2 * 3^n+2  out of 27^n+2?

I have edited it.

#350 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-11 02:18:15

Okay, Thanks bobbym.

Then I suppose, in change of subject, speed, velocity, time etc. Can't be negative in practise and therefore, if one is asked to make any of  the above  subject of a relation,  should be in the postive form instead.
