It simplifies to me giving you a 0 and moving on to the next student
It doesnt simplify to anything because it's not standard mathematical notation.
It's sqrt(64/17) which simplifies to 8/sqrt(17). I don't know how the frick you got anything else. Use Wolfram alpha to confirm that you are a fricking moron.
Then my professor is wrong. thanks for confirming that for me 🙂
You are both very mistaken, because that fraction is ambiguous, which means the only correct interpretation of OP's image is "what the frick do you mean".
Bottom of the bottom is the top. Dividing a fraction by two is the same as multiplying the numerator by two. You should be able to prove this with high school algebra. If you can't then you need to review and practice your fundamentals.
>Use Wolfram alpha to confirm that you are a fricking moron.
To input this into Wolfram Alpha requires making a choice of how to parse the ambiguous fraction. So it confirms nothing.
poor syntax since one can't tell which fraction takes priority.
either one fraction bar should be wider than the other, or one fraction should be in brackets
Personally i say 4sqrt(17)/17 but i'm also pretty leftbrained
6srqt(17)/17
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=square+root+of+32%2F17%2F2
32/17/2 is to be read as (32/17)/2 and not as 32/(17/2), so it's 4sqrt(17)/17
easy
>OP does some shitty MS paint lines
>OMG guysss it means something
>>OMG guysss it means something
It literally does though? As written it can be mathematically interpreted.
I'm not speaking on the intent of the creator, but of the lines themselves.
write it in a better notation, if the answer is ambiguous you've failed as the creator of the question
neither because the sqrt of 17 does not exist
It's sqrt(32/(17/2)). It's difficult but not impossible to parse.
That simplifies to 8√(17)/17.
Were the bars the exact same width, there would be a problem, but they aren't.
if only I pointed it out 4 posts above yours
You showed your work but forgot to fill in an answer.
it was left for the reader as an exercise
why are the mathematically illiterate so intrigued by order of operation conventions?
Because to the mathematically illiterate, it looks like a hole in our understanding of math that is simple enough that they can contribute to it.
Bitches can't tell 32/17⁄2 from 32⁄17/2.
Division is not associative but you give no clear indication of precedence.
Who cares? Nobody writes a fraction like that without at least making one fraction line smaller or using some parentheses
What does
>1++2-*5
equal? That's right, nobody cares because it's fricking gibberiish. moron.
