My face when I realized that the "Posted A minute ago" message lasts 2 minutes.

 

 

Also, good night.

Like 10 minutes until I can go to bed. What to do?

this is a weird but serious question, tyler. go along with it.

 

do you have a graphing calculator in your possession?

I do

 

>answers questions not directed towards her

That is fine. Anyone can help here.

 

Can you graph -2x^3/5 for me and either take a picture or describe it as best you can for me?

 

fyi that is negative 2x to the power of 3/5

.

DON'T DIE ON ME ZOE

 

goon i already tried online graphing calcs and they all give me different answers and [cabbage]. i'm double checking.

It's kind of like the x^3 graph turned sideways.

Thought I'd try a couple.

I don't.

 

However, is that (-2x)^3/5 or -(2x)^3/5?

okay so yeah i'm pretty sure it's just what goon posted, that's what i'm pretty much finding as an answer. my question, why is there such a difference between the graph of -2x^3/5 and -2x^4/5? they're different, yet similar...

 

@tyler no parentheses were in the problem. i dunno.

 

3 diff. online calcs gave me this answer by plugging in -2x^(3/5)

ooookay thank you. this makes a lot more sense. i'm pretty sure that not putting those parentheses there screwed it up.

-2x^3/5 looks kinda like this:

 

-2 * ( 5√x)³

 

Wheras the other is:

 

-2 * ( 5√x)⁴

 

(That's a fifth root.)

 

You're raising it to a different power, and the graphs of different roots differ slightly. This is especially true with 3 and 4, since 3's odd and 4's even.

SHUT UP WHO WE FIGURED IT OUT ALREADY GOD

you don't need to be such a dick, tyler

Aww.

ah [bleep] it, in math nowadays i can just "reassess" if i do bad on a target or whatever.

 

i am so bad at math. i usually somehow just bs stuff or wing it and somehow do fine. which should not be possible in math.

It's funny. In high school I could have figured this all out, but as soon as you get to college and finish all of your required math courses you forget everything. EVERYTHING. WHAT THE [bleep] IS A FIFTH FRUIT?

God damn I hope if I ever have kids I don't have girls.

Girls suck.

WHY DID I LAUGH SO MUCH AT THAT IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY?

 

I'm going to bed.
