anonymous · Answer

$$6+/-2\sqrt{3}\div4$$

anonymous · Answer

Wait what? 6 divded by negative 2$$\sqrt{3}$$ divided by 4?

nowhereman · Answer

I guess it should be $$\frac{6\pm 2\sqrt{3}}{4}$$, but what is the question?

anonymous · Answer

$$6/4 = 3/2$$

so therefore it's$$[3 + or - \sqrt{3}]\div 2$$

nowhereman · Answer

ingenious

anonymous · Answer

Nowhereman: how'd you write the equation for that fraction? I've not managed to figure out how to do it?

nowhereman · Answer

It's latex. You can use the formula editor by clicking on Equation, or just put the latex code inside \ [ and \ ]: \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{3}}{4}

anonymous · Answer

oh! awsome, thanks. I didn't realize this was latex. I've been learning the syntax for the equation editor so I don't have to click the button and find the symbols I want, but I didn't realize it was standard latex. cool.
