What 2 numbers squared give a Negative? *PICS*

[worth]

Haha .. I just graphed something with excel and got r^2 -5 ... And you thought r^2 only goes to 0

Picture!

 

[erub]

imaginaries squared? dunno

 

[worth]

Hold on, I'm posting a picture soon ...

 

[ShadowHunter]

Hmmmmm

You've got me.

No number squared can be negative. Excel makes math errors, which is why you don't use it for mission critical calculations like bridges and buildings.

It's Micro$oft. What do you expect?

 

[StormRider]

i and -i

 

[worth]

I'm just using it for a Physics lab

 

[DioCassius]

R=n*i where n is any real number

 

[Logix]

i^2 = -1

 

[worth]

We're talking about correlation squared

 

[prodigy]

Doh, not the kind of pic I was expecting.

 

[worth]

You were expecting Statistics pr0n weren't you?

 

[gooseman]

you seriously need a life.

No number squared can be negative.

Wrong.

i is defined as the square root of negative 1, & is used in situations with non-real results.

No real number squared is negative.

 

[Viper GTS]

<< No real number squared is negative. >>



That I'll agree with. But to say that NO number squared is negative is not true.

[worth]

Viper, I thought that was implied since we're talking about correlation here ... Sorry if I wasn't clear.

If you want real math software, try Mathlab.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

He is talking about Complex Numbers.

(Just do a simple search on Google)

 

[DannyLove]

can i get a different PIC?

danny~!

<< We're talking about correlation squared >>



It should range in value from 0 to 1. That's odd.

If you want real math software, get Maple.

A local company to me dontcha know!
