\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...

Ahh... I see the problem.

So after a new line you have start the $ and end it after the line is finished i thought the $ would continue after the 6$.

Thanks for clearing that up. :)

Hi MathsGod1

Okay I haven't digested all of your problems but see if this helps.

THIS IS YOUR CODE:

\\$LaTeX form$\\

The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\

In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...

$$\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...$$

ok that looks perfect to me :/  you must have fixed your problems.

1) If you use the $s to show text they must be in pairs,  one at the start and one at the end.

2)  you cannot have any functions in tthe middle of the text or the code will do crazy things.

3) I am really surprised that this works because I thought that you would need  the $ on the other side of the new line function (just before the "in addition" ):/

This is was my code I would have used :

\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6\\$In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...

$$\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6\\$In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...$$

But yours works just as well so it doens't matter :))

The tallest student is 1.52m tall. It's given in the question...

I think you might hav made a typo.

Ok thanks for the info Melody. 

Nice to meet you LancelotLink :D . I hope you enjoyed your stay in Africa with your new friends, because while you was gone I'd taken your place ! 

$$\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...$$

^(The Latex was supposed to be appear under the text. I randomnly put together everything i've learnt).

Thank you for writing all of this Melody. I fully understand the reason of \ now. Much appreciated! 

:D

This is the what i wrote.

I have some questions,

\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...

The section i made bold, i don't understand the Fraction turned all squashed out, however once I'd imput the $ it was clear. I didn't think I'd have to add it, as I've already placed at the beggining.

($\\In addition)

\\$LaTeX form$\\The\sqrt{36}\;is\;6$\\In addition, $3\frac{1}{4}\;and\;4\frac{1}{4} = 7\frac{1}{2}...

Where the ''and'' is i had to add \; or it would've been squashed together. I didn't think i had to add it because of the $ at the beggining.

You can only use the $ in this context for text.  Plus it only usually lets you do it once per line.

It is good to know more than one method to do things because sometimes, for no apparent reason, a command just won't work!

Yes LancelotLink, I saw that newspaper artical but I did not realize that you had relatives in Australia.

We are most definitely a multicultural society but I do not think the we have a large chimp population  

A am pleased that your nephew is so academically inclined.  Maybe he can get qualified here but then go build bridges for you in the States.   

Now MathsGod1.  LancelotLink has been a member here for a long time.  He has been away on a sebbatical in Africa for some time.  He stayed with distant relatives while he was studying.

Unfortunately he does tend to monkey around.  I hope that he behaves himself this time!     

I have not actually seen him produce much by way of mathematics.    

Wow thanks Melody for your imput.

There are so many ways to leave spaces but i prefer your method with : \: , \; , \quad , \qquad.

I'll treasure that and learn from it :)

EDIT: I might go with $ $ it looks a lot easier than after every word doing a backslash.

I see we've got an ape member.

Yes, Omar is very studious. He’s looking forward to the first rite of passage into adulthood --usually about age 12. There are no set rules for this. It’s usually a big (monster) Spaghetti pie with a large, frosty mug of beer from the beer volcano. (It’s near-beer for minors).

Nice 

I didn't think of doing it like that. The more direct route for sure.

Turn 1.6kg into grams and divide by 1350L to get concentration = 1600/1350 g/L ≈ 1.185 g/L

.

a) Turn all the distances into millimetres and use your formula:   1/F = 1/5000 + 1/ 200

1/F = (200 + 5000)/(5000*200) or 1/F = 5200/10⁶

Invert both sides

F = 10⁶/5200 mm

$${\mathtt{F}} = {\frac{{{\mathtt{10}}}^{{\mathtt{6}}}}{{\mathtt{5\,200}}}} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{F}} = {\mathtt{192.307\: \!692\: \!307\: \!692\: \!307\: \!7}}$$

so F = 192.3 mm to the nearest millimetre

b) If 1/F = 1/x + 1/y then subtract 1/x from both sides to get 1/y = 1/F - 1/x

1/y = (x - F)/(x*F)

Invert both sides

y = x*F/(x - F)

3) See if you can now do this part yourself.

Here's a numerical approach using Newton-Raphson:

(These basically agree with Chris's solutions, though I think he misprinted 10.851 as 10.351.)

To two decimal places these are  1.34 and 10.85

.

LancelotLink,  Your nephew is very cute :)

Will he be taking his pastafarian classes seriously.

I know he is a chimp, and therefore monkey business comes very naturally to him, BUT religion is a very serious mattter!

This is of special importance now that you are running for a governing position is the Great Realm of Camelot :)

You know, perception is EVERYTHING!

Like most of my ancestors, I used to believe in the Banana Goddess, but I’m a Pastafarian now (I like Spaghetti, too) , so I should be OK.

Wiki gives a quick overview.

Melody, you have a great set of choppers.

Lancelot_Link  A.P.E.

I think that this is very like this question

inverse sine is the same as arc sine so ues 

asin 

I do not know how to do this any other way either Chris :)

Your chef made a supurb cake.  Thank you :)

You know, asking a chimp to not monkey around is also a waste of my finger power :)

I think I prefer you new chefs method of food preparation although some of the X factor is omitted.

Perhaps this makes the end product more 'generic' and less 'interesting'?

I have deleted some of this thread.

Titanium and CoalDefeatsTitanium you are going too far!

If Titanium and Rosala have a problem with each other then stay away from each other.

I think Rosala is already attempting to do that, Titanium you must do it TOO.

CoalDefeatsTitanium this issue has absolutely nothing to do with you.  Butt out and mind your own business or you will be the first to be removed from this forum.

Titanium, you are behaving worse than a standard school yard bully.  

Behave yourself!

Your cake is very tasty, thank you.

Here, I had my personal chef make a banana cake for you.

My personal chef is a great cook.(He liked your cake, too).

He eats less than half the food he prepares and he uses modern kitchen appliances to puree food. My last chef just chewed it up and spit it in to the bowl --it made it kind of “fermenty.” Sometimes he’d swallow to much of it, so he’d just barf it into the bowl.

This cake has neither peal pieces nor spit,

just like my banana daiquiris.:)

Lancelot_Link

 P.S. Asking a chimp not to do monkey business is like asking Einstein not to do physics. Not only does that boarder on the impossible, it’s a waste of great talent. :)

x+3x-9/2+3/2+1=0   simplify

4x - 6/2 + 1  = 0

4x - 3 + 1 = 0

4x - 2  = 0      add 2 to both sides

4x  = 2           divide both sides by 4

x = 1/2
