It's like, you have to know wich coordinates are occupied, and by wich element.

I once did some colision detection in 2D, it's simple as long as it's rectangular..

So guys, you wanna do my math work for me?

I never paid much attention in math class, and now whenever I do 3D work I wish I had. I'm good at math in general but since I didn't really learn the formulas I always have trouble with trigonometry and it takes me a little while to remember how to do some things like algebra. I guess I'll just have to see if I can take a similar class in college.

I used to plug away through the complex stuff and then make the dumbest mistakes. I'd be working out some triple integral, it'd simplify to "9+4" and then I'd write "15" or something like that. Luckily, that class's prof gave written exams instead of multiple choice so I'd still get most of the marks when I did that.

I always got FOIL until they put dang square roots with it. But the worst thing I did was used Distance Formula instead of Midpoint Formula on a couple of problems.

such basic math here in this thread...

Tatrion's

t=(2(j-14)/(105d)

spel werdz rite:
Do you have some other equation for a system?
Else you would be stuck with

x(ax^2+bx+c)=d

and finally xk's math:

4x
x^2+4x+4
x^2+6x+9
16x

Dude... no. The cubic equation is not something you wish on people. Much less to have them post it on the board.

Okay, now solve for x mister "I beg to differ!"
0=ax³+bx²+cx+d

(I'm afraid to know what this thread will turn into)

it's impossible to find t based on that equation.


I'd like to beg to differ, t = - ( ( 4 * ( j - 14 ) ) / ( 2.1 * 5 * d ) )

So... solve for t and leave the answer in terms of d and j...

As for mis-FOILing, shame Xk. Shame to the distributive property D:

Yes, Tarale, that's what it is.

Also I don't know what I would do if I forgot how to algebra.

Probably go all emo.

Uhm... I don't do math (a fact I've told you recently, Xkeeper ) but uh...

Wouldn't "FOIL" be first outer inner last ?? Uh... either you spelled FIOL or that's the booze talking...

You don't need to shapeshift. Just do it for the courses that have very large sections and sit in the back. Chances are they're not going to call you on it. Especially if the person you're impersonating only goes to class to get the syllabus and take tests.

One of these days when I learn how to shape shift I'm going to make big $$$ taking people's math exams for them .

I wonder why?

4x
x²+4x+4
x²+6x+9
16x
