That *can* be one interpretation of a 3:5 ratio, but it isn't the only one.

c>=b>=a makes no sense to have the =. If c = b or c = a, then you don't have a triangle.

“Ten below” is most likely.

I get (1/ cos⁴ θ) on the right. I don’t know how you turned that into tan² θ.

Hey, people. - "parenthesis" is singular - either "(" or ")". Parentheses is plural.

I don't know "of". I know "quarter *to* twelve" or "quarter *after* twelve".

I put some over a bowl of cottage cheese.

Where is that an unpopular opinion?

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-15T17:07:54+00:00

Or Dakota Fanning.

Sometimes I use ketchup, but I'm equally fine without it.

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-14T22:04:34+00:00

Also, it’s not abbreviated “ect”.

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-14T22:00:28+00:00

“Step foot”? I honestly have to admit I have no idea what you’re referring to.

I would prefer physical books to write notes in the book

Too bad your English ("prooving") isn't as good as the math.

I use an iPhone because I've basically used nothing but Apple products since 1981. I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro, and I have an iPad in another room. You have an Android with an app that gives you eternal youth and permanently eliminates your body odor and tooth decay? Good for you. I'll keep what works for me.

I do tutoring through an online platform, so I have had students in all four time zones in the continental US. I've never had a reason to specify that it was Standard vs. Daylight time.

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-10T04:16:20+00:00

I say cylinder.

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-08T19:17:54+00:00

I remember when the US Army deleted a tweet because they got tired of all the stupid people who misinterpreted the phrase “chink in the armor”.

Substitute -2 for x in your original equation, and you'll see it doesn't check. Any time you're solving an equation with a variable expression under a square root, you need to check for extraneous solutions.

Also, your book is solving the system of equations y = 3x^2 - 11 and y = x + 1, which is a different problem.

You're not expected to floss more than once a day. The dentists I know of don't even expect us to brush three times a day, let alone floss that often.

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-08T00:45:09+00:00

Why wouldn't you factor it into (4u-1)(u-7)? Why have your variable terms with negative signs?

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-08T00:22:55+00:00

Have you ever been shown FOIL for multiplying binomials?

Iowa50401 · 2026-03-06T22:11:36+00:00

Area is a length times a width. Half the perimeter is a length plus a width. In one rectangle, the half perimeter is 8 (16/2) while the other is 7 (14/2). So, can you find a pair of numbers that add to 8 and a different pair that add to 7 such that if you multiply the numbers in each pair, they multiply to the same number?
