@Hate We all h8 that subject m8.  Wanna b8?

jk

 

I think the "we" in your post refers to the person posting the post. In other words, you're referring to yourself in the plural form :P

 

Anyways. I could do with someone teaching me algebra, trigonometry, calculus, whatever lies beyond, etc (I'm only twelve, so all I get to learn at school is early level algebra)

 

 

Math is much more important than you think, for instance, if you think of yourself being a game creator.

All those things you learn you think won't be needed anymore in your life are just there to train you to learn something you are or are not interested in and to improve your memory.

 

I am good at maths, but not as well in some other subjects.

 

 

Wait wait wait... how? I could use that, I'm thinking of developing a game. Sorry for uh, quoting a months old post, but this sounds important.

Inventor of Chess and the King of his time

 It has been narrated that the Indian king, who was hardly impressed with the invention of the chess game, promised the inventor that he would give him any chance. The inventor demanded that, he seemed to have nothing to do with the appearance: he demanded some wheat grain, in such a way that if they are placed in chess board houses, there will be twice as many previous houses in each house.  To put one piece of wheat on first square at a1 of the board and double it every time till h8. (1,2,4 i.e. ).

The Indian king, the richest man in the world, could not handle this request. In fact, this rich king could not get this wheat with all his endless imaginations.

Because the number of grains of wheat is equal to a total of 2 successive powers to 63.

It means 18,615,551,759,573,744,446 number of wheat!!!! 

To get this amount, we have to plant eight times all the surface of Earth and accumulate it for eight times. In other words, this product can be obtained from a planet whose surface is eight times as much as the Earth.

this is miracle of math.

I love math and am happy to help anyone if they have a question about anything :)

Great! So if I might ask, what is a derrivative meant for? I am not asking this to be annoying, I honestly want to know. So far, iI understand that a derrivative is basically when you draw a line tangent to a point of a function, and the derrivative is the slope of that line.

 

How wrong am I?

Rendering anything in 3D requires a good bit of math.

Which is precisely what I need to do, because my little game will be 3D. It's rather ambitious too, maybe too much. I could learn more - care to PM, anyone who knows more on the subject?

 

Secondly, as I said earlier, I could do with some lessons by someone here who knows maths and has the time and courage to do so

I like maths and I know some of them, i'm 9th-10th grader.

But i'm lazy explaining in English, so in french, it's easier for me..

Yeah because you are a french like me. :)

Kindly refrain from discussing silly math jokes such as "10+9=21" here as this is supposed to be a place for serious conversation regarding Maths. If you wish to make jokes about Maths, kindly do so in topics such as "Joke of the day-Have any?".

Well, if you are making a game for the first time, I'd imagine you're already using an existing engine. But if you are starting from scratch, this is a nice resource that isn't too technical: https://www.scratchapixel.com/index.php?redirect

why do we use the letter X to represent the unknown?

In algebra, we're often asked to solve for x, and, in the English language, the letter x is often used to signify the unknown—X marks the spot, X-rays, and Mr. X, for example. But how did this particular letter become associated with so much mystery? 

researchers traces the use of the letter x in algebra to the Arabic word al-shalan, which means "the unknown thing," claiming that, in translations of the writing of Arabic mathematicians, that word became linked to the Greek letter chi and then reached us through Latin and, eventually, Spanish. It's a neat story—and a similar explanation even appears in Noah Webster's Dictionary.

Some people believe the use of x (as well as y and z) became common thanks to René Descartes' use of the last three letters of the alphabet to represent unknown quantities in his treatise La Géométrie. In his classic study A History of Mathematical Notations

And there are so many other stories.

 

dear algebra please stop asking us to find your x she's never coming back and dont ask y

These posts are quite interesting, thanks for posting them!

Also, it takes the seriousness away from the topic. Math should be fun, but we shouldn't make jokes out of it. 

 

Doing that is like someone heading over to the Footballer topic and saying something rude and insensitive such as "Football is just a lame game where many people run after 1 ball even though they can buy more" (which aren't my thoughts on the matter, but I imagine that not many people would be happy with me posting such things)

dy / dx = 5x ^ 1/2 + x√x , x > 0. 

 

Given that y = 35 at x = 4, find y in terms of x. (Give each term in its simplest form)  

 

This is one of the hardest questions on my past exam paper. Good Luck!

Interesting. so is it 5x under the square root + x root x? I can't understand.

 

How did you solve it?
