priceless

Mind you, there are too many priceless replies in here to give due credit. Holy fuck, what has the world come to.

41 of course

If you put this equation into an excel spreadsheet cell (=40+40*0+1), the calculated answer is 41

wrong....

apply it to real life. if i had 40 bucks, and i said i'd give you that plus double whatever money you had in your pocket....

40 + 2 x X = your money

badly notated.... should be 40 + (2 x X)... but similar to the original equation.

so if you had no money in your pocket (X = 0), doing the math from left to right would get you $0.

40 + 2 = 42, then 42 x 0 = 0?

so did my 40 bucks disappear because you're broke?

PEMDAS!

Jel · 11-09-2011, 02:36 AM

I'm staggered that people are applying scientific maths to a non-scientific maths problem.

There is no parentheses (sp) so you don't insert one (as a scientific calculator would do, because it obviously assumes it's a scientific equation - you cant add the parentheses as you type in the equation). The order of operation only comes into it when calculating scientific maths, so you go left to right, because this quite clearly is NOT a scientific maths equation, due to the fact there are NO parentheses.

People who are adding them in themselves are like the dumb fucks who indicate right at a 4 exit roundabout when they are going straight over - there is no need!

And I say dumb fucks affectionately ;)

Not quite correct, because you'd need to say you'd give me 40 bucks and another 40 bucks, times that 80 bucks by whatever I have in my pocket, in this case 0, then a buck on top. Which is a buck.

Now, if you said you'd give me 40 bucks, plus 40 bucks multiplied by what I have in my pocket (in other words, you verbally added the parentheses), plus a buck, then you'd give me 41 bucks.

from the introduction of modern algebraic notation, where juxtaposition indicates multiplication of variables, multiplication took precedence over addition, whichever side of a number it appeared on.[1] Thus 3 + 4 × 5 = 4 × 5 + 3 = 23. When exponents were first introduced, in the 16th and 17th centuries, exponents took precedence over both addition and multiplication, and could be placed only as a superscript to the right of their base. Thus 3 + 52 = 28 and 3 × 52 = 75. To change the order of operations, originally a vinculum (an overline or underline) was used. Today we use brackets. Thus, to force addition to precede multiplication, we write (2 + 3) × 4 = 20, and to force addition to precede exponentiation, we write (3 + 5)2 = 64.

Open the calculator on your computer, and type in the question, hitting enter to see each step. Now switch to scientific and enter it, watching each step.

standard:

40 + 40 = 80
* 0 = 0
+ 1 = 1

scientific
40 + 40 = 80
* 0 = 0
+ (now the number on screen jumps to 40, as ONLY in scientific maths does the order come into it) 1 = 41

"A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction". This tells you the ranks of the operations: Parentheses outrank exponents, which outrank multiplication and division (but multiplication and division are at the same rank), and these two outrank addition and subtraction (which are together on the bottom rank). "

That's not even the part that makes me laugh. It is a common mistake and while it's grade school math it's intuitively "wrong". But here we have an entire thread of people explaining why it's 41 and an entire internet of information so that anyone can look this up for themselves but they are still in here arguing that they are absolutely right and insinuating that we're all idiots because we don't know that something multiplied by 0 is 0.

Jel · 11-09-2011, 05:29 AM

I have a strong suspicion that the way they teach maths in your primary schools in the USA is completely different to what they teach in the UK.

As sure as you are that it's 41 because the order of operations always apply, I (and it looks like everyone else in the UK) is as sure they don't always apply, unless specifically in algebra/scientific maths.

We had separate lessons to explain to us the difference between eg 40 + 40 * 0 +1 and 40 + (40 * 0) + 1

That's the only reason I can think of that everyone is 100% confident in their answer, be it 41 or 1.

You're wrong there Jel, if you do that you are turning it into three different equations. If you do it as one calculation on any calculator, it will use the order of operations. 1 is the answer a primary school child would give, but everything you learn in maths after that tells you the answer is 41.

No. You're simply wrong.

Math is absolute. Rules apply and they always apply so that you always reach the same answer to a given equation period. According to you there's two different answers depending on the kind of "Maths" you apply. If that were true there would need to be some sort of notation to specify which rules you use, which you'll notice there isn't.

The answer is 41 period.

Do you guys really call it MathS in the UK? That sounds so strange. Math is short for Mathematics which already has an S.

EddyTheDog · 11-09-2011, 05:32 AM

I came up with 1 at first - but I am the clever one here as I then read up about it and realised it was 41....

Why am I the clever one ?

1. I checked.

2. I can admit it when I am wrong.

Two things that the majority here seem unable to do.....

Sorry yeah, not hitting enter, but looking at the screen per each step. I'm doing it on a calculator, built into my pc, using 'standard' as 1 flowing equation, to get 1. Using it as scientific, as 1 flowing equation, gives 41.

As sure as you are that it's 41 because the order of operations always apply, I (and it looks like everyone else in the UK) is as sure they don't always apply, unless specifically in algebra/scientific maths. We had separate lessons to explain to us the difference between eg 40 + 40 * 0 +1 and 40 + (40 * 0) + 1 That's the only reason I can think of that everyone is 100% confident in their answer, be it 41 or 1.

Two things that the majority here seem unable to do..... __________________ - Chaturbate Script - https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-b...er-issues.html - Now supports White Labels
