#EdexcelMaths - builderboy123 - 06-04-2015 Nice little Maths exam today, was alright overall. But guys, answer this: Hannah eats 2 orange sweets. Work out n2 -n - 90 = 0. RE: #EdexcelMaths - Greed^ - 06-04-2015 N=30 or what? RE: #EdexcelMaths - Tomo - 06-04-2015 When you buy your plants from Hedge World but realise you could have got a better deal at Kirsty's Hedges. #EdexcelMaths [Image: rage-guy-with-hands-in-air-crying.gif] RE: #EdexcelMaths - Jono - 06-04-2015 10? :L Don't see what the problem is? I'm relatively shit at maths and it was pretty obvious? ( Assuming I'm right, and not missing something?) RE: #EdexcelMaths - yarrrs - 06-04-2015 N=90? 90*2=180-n(90)-90=0. This is algebra one guys... RE: #EdexcelMaths - Tomo - 06-04-2015 I was on a roll up until this question. F*ck Hannah, she's a fat bitch and she needs to stop eating sweets. RE: #EdexcelMaths - Jono - 06-04-2015 The question isn't correct. The actual question, (The one I got my answer from) is: n ² - n - 90 = 0 ? RE: #EdexcelMaths - Tomo - 06-04-2015 Yeah Jono that was it. I factorised it to get (n+9)(n-10)=0 Then I worked out that n=10 If you then substitute 10 back into the equation it works: 10² - 10 - 90 = 0 100 - 10 - 90 = 0 90 - 90 = 0 That was for part b) of the question. I had no idea how to do part a) ![]() RE: #EdexcelMaths - RK-Fin - 06-04-2015 Easy way: F*ck up math and study something else instead. Hard way: Sit on your butt until it is used up RE: #EdexcelMaths - yarrrs - 06-04-2015 Should have put a carrot to represent that being an exponent. |
