SIMPLIFY THE EXPRESSION
\[\sqrt{39(\sqrt{6+7)}}\]
so do you remember your order of operations?
no
or do i got to find out what x what = 39?
alright that is what you need to use here. please read this to review the order of operations http://www.purplemath.com/modules/orderops.htm
I do not understand your second statement
i dont get this i havent done math in over 10years
im willing to learn
ok, (I apologize if this seems offensive) did you read the webpage?
let me AGAIN its not offensive i dont even think i ever learn this in school and i never got math anyway i suck at it im ok with that but atleast im willing to learn
Ok, I'm willing to teach if you are willing to learn, so long as you are willing to put in the effort which I can tell you are.
\[3\sqrt{26}+7\sqrt{39}\]
ok im still drawing a blank
it's ok. So let's start with an easier problem \[\sqrt{6+7}=?\]
13
are you certain you didn't forget anything?
4 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13
no?
no, ok. I really don't know how you came up with that eq. So I'll give you a fact so you can try again, You have to do the operation under the radical first. You cannot distribute the radical when you are adding something.
I do appreciate you trying :)
thanks
i appreciate the help im trying to get my high school diploma because i really want to go to college
That is an impressive and admirable goal.
yeah my mom passed in jan so i take care of my dad and i have a 5yr old
That's hard. I'm sorry for your loss.
yes it is hard i miss my mom very much and ive been threw some other really messed up stuff too so im just trying to start new and fresh
thank you
ok, so I'm willing to help with math and proofread if you wish. I'm decent at some other subjects, but those are my specialties
aw thanks!
ok? So let's give this one a try
so far ive gottan b's in 3 other classes and a c in algebra 1
ok ready
So the first thing I want to review is order of operations.
and what a radical is
So the order of operations is the rules for how we do everything in math. It is a pivotal concept to learn in order to use any math or take any class.
There are many acronyms to assist with this. My favorite is \(\color{red} Please~\color{red} Excuse~\color{red}My~\color{red}Dear~\color{red}Aunt~\color{red}Sally\)
The P stands for Parentheses. That is the first thing that you have to do. Anything under a radical is technically in parentheses. Do you follow?
yes
Next up is E it stands for exponents. Any radical can be written as an exponents and the rules for exponents apply. eg. \(√2=2^\frac{1}{2}\)
M is for multiplication, D is for division
there are a few properties that both of these have that can be covered in more detail later
A is for addition, S is for subtraction
