math question

[Omegachi]

can i use the quadratic formula to find the root for this equation? or is it not possible because of the t's

y^2 - (2/t)y + 2/(t^2) = 0?

 

[JohnCU]

Is t a constant or is this a two-variable equation?

 

[YoshiSato]

I think the quadratice formula is the following

AX2 + BX + C = 0 .

I hated algrebra and pesduomath so much in high school. I me come on, Not once in my computer science clasess did I ever need to use pseduomath.

I don't see why not. You would just get an answer that is in terms of t. Keep in mind that t=0 cannot be an answer as you would have division by 0 in the original equation if it was.

this is pseudomath?

 

[Hyperion042]

y = (1/t) +/- sqrt(4/t^2 - 8/t^2) / 2 = 1/t +/- i/t for all t

 

[Omegachi]

thanks,

my roots are

1/t * (1+-i)


what a mess... now i just gotta solve for the particular solution using the variation of parameters method... 🙁

I consider anything where you try to find an answer to an equastion with no practical real word application pseduomath. The answer of 4X does not tell me how much a case of beer will cost in real world terms.

But it's still MATH....what you're reffering to... "real world application" is more commonly known as APPLIED MATH.

And where do you apply the qudaradic formula besides in algebra class to drive students insane?

I use the quadratic formula in EE all the time.

Applied math. You know, what the dumb kids took in high school.

You people wouldn't have ATOT if it wasn't for math. Show some respect.😛

if a case of beer cost 4 bucks, and one case is X amount, wouldn't that give you the cost in real world?

Anyways, what you learn in math, the logic, analytical and problem solving skills applies to your CS courses buddy.

No It's called being caffine deprived while working the vampire shift for a tech support department. I call it the vampire shift because it is dark when I go to work and it's dark when I leave.
