lol, rip nickolas

And I was saying do the step step by step with the student like melody did with me!

Melody is a great teacher and Cphill :) 

What about this Melody posted! 

https://web2.0calc.com/questions/what-do-answerers-want-from-you    

Read the post 

There's no need ofr strong vocabulary I presented a possible solution to this situation in one of my post's above if you read them. 

@Basicmaths, The saying is all true and I feel like we should put that on killersteve's welcome to the forum post's...

But now let me stop you 

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PERSON WHO ASK THE QUESTION IS CLUELESS! 

Basicmaths! 

I have seen many who are who ask questions and it is mainly not cheating people are just to lazy to figure and do the work and the solve the problem even they know how to do it! 

Not necessarily, Nickolas. Someone may answer a problem, but if they don’t figure out the steps and keep them stored in their brain, then it’s useless. That’s why it’s better to show someone the steps to a problem rather than giving them the answer, especially if the person hasn’t attempted it themselves and are just being lazy. Here we go back to the old phrase: If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, you’ll feed him for a lifetime.

We dont want to disscus rules without a moderator or the Admin!!!!!! 

The hint could be an explanation of how to use a certain formula to solve the problem. For example, when the guest asked for the answer to 164x + 37y = 1, CPhill could've just shown the guest how to use the Euclidean Algorithm instead of giving the guest the answer.

I'm not sure the asker clarified that the answer was incorrect but was asking for a better explination (The asker could have interacted more though)

Yes, so as a current AoPS Academy student, I can verify that this website has a TON of AoPS Academy homework questions. The sad thing is, this website is constantly being exploited because the people asking don’t CARE about how to solve the question; they just want the answer. Having taken AoPS classes from PreAlgebra through PreCalculus this year at the first AoPS Academy site, I can personally testify about how the classes are a mental and emotional test. However, that does mean that some students will cheat in order to keep up their good grades for their parents. So yeah, I don’t think that BANNING or completely ignoring these people would be the right solution, but rather giving them hints to solve the problem instead of the answer right off the bat. 

Okay, thanks

I mean it looks pretty obvious this person was trying to cheat on the homework:

We combat this with having the asker show what they got or how they attempted the problem, and having them interact with the answerer. This shows maturity not all will do this and it's a work in progress with us, but were getting there.

It's al right combating cheating, frankly we need that here, more people that don't want to facilate cheating which will do more good. Yes melody has and a few others do to seeing user's post entire homework questions. Now not every one does it and the sitings are rarer fortunatly and some user quit doign that and actually started lookng in the text book or listening to the instructor, But still we have had a few incounters so your in the right we just don't want to push it because some people may honestly need help and those that do don't deserve a bad name because other's want to/or facilate cheating and key answers into helping them.

Okay, I was just tryna combat cheating. Melody had made a post about cheating and how this site isn't supposed to be used for cheating.

True, the site wasn't ment for cheating this all depends on how the answerer teaches the concept to the asker. As @pushy said epople come here to learn if they need help which applys to any learning enviroment, Some people don't use APOS and some do. The people can learn from the previous comments that were asked here thats part of the reason we have all the questions asked since the begining of web calcs existence. If this bother's you then when you answer a question try to help the people on here learn over given a direct answer (Which I'm not judging based off your question answering history)

Wow that's complicated... but thanks for helping me and taking the time to do it :)

I don't want to sound rude, but like... people come here because they need help. People who post answers have an explanation so they can learn. :)

Simplify the following:
abs((sqrt(3) i + 1)^4)

(sqrt(3) i + 1)^4 = ((sqrt(3) i + 1)^2)^2:
abs(((sqrt(3) i + 1)^2)^2)

(sqrt(3) i + 1)^2 = 1 + i sqrt(3) + i sqrt(3) - 3 = 2 i sqrt(3) - 2:
abs((2 i sqrt(3) - 2)^2)

Factor 2 out of 2 i sqrt(3) - 2 giving 2 (i sqrt(3) - 1):
abs((2 (i sqrt(3) - 1))^2)

(2 (i sqrt(3) - 1))^2 = 2^2 (i sqrt(3) - 1)^2:
abs(2^2 (i sqrt(3) - 1)^2)
abs(4 (i sqrt(3) - 1)^2)

(i sqrt(3) - 1)^2 = 1 - i sqrt(3) - i sqrt(3) - 3 = -2 i sqrt(3) - 2:
abs(4 -2 i sqrt(3) - 2)

Factor 2 out of -2 i sqrt(3) - 2 giving 2 (-i sqrt(3) - 1):
abs(4×2 (-(i sqrt(3)) - 1))

Factor -1 from -(i sqrt(3)) - 1:
abs(4×2×-(i sqrt(3) + 1))
abs(-8 (i sqrt(3) + 1))

abs(-8 (1 + i sqrt(3))) = abs(-8) abs(1 + i sqrt(3)):
abs(-8) abs(1 + i sqrt(3))
Since -8<=0, then abs(-8) = 8:
8 abs(1 + i sqrt(3))

abs(1 + i sqrt(3)) = 2:
