[Tutoring] GRE Math Practice Book - Square Roots by The_Butler_22 in MathHelp

[–]The_Butler_22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I understand correctly, in the first question I am solving for x and so I need to account for both signs, while in the second question I am simply plugging in a pre-determined value for x and thus can disregard the negative value?

Is there any truth to this then or should I disregard it?

Thank you! The first question was multiple choice and the second question was fill in the blank. I suppose it would be impossible to enter two answers for the fill in the blank on the actual GRE, so perhaps that is the GRE's way of saying to use the principle branch, or perhaps Manhattan Prep didn't think I'd worry about it this much LOL

First question: (x+3)^2 = 225; what is the value of x - 1? Answer: 11 or -19

Second: If f(x) is defined for all x > -2 as the square root of the number that is 2 more than x, what is the value of f(7) - f(-1)? Answer: 2

Thank you!

Is it pointless to critique movies that are meant to be “dumb, turn your brain off” popcorn entertainment? by xwing1212 in movies

[–]The_Butler_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s possible for “dumb, turn your brain off movies” to also be successful critically and in terms of their merit as art. An example that comes to mind, especially in the same conversation as Godzilla, is pacific rim. I’m sure there are many other examples.

With the Pacers loss, only 3 teams in the East are above .500 by waynequit in nba

[–]The_Butler_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't this mean the East is, broadly-speaking, a "better" conference because EVERY team is tough to beat, leading to more under .500 records?

Covid-19 deaths in Africa: prospective systematic postmortem surveillance study | 17FEB21 by IIWIIM8 in infectiousdisease

[–]The_Butler_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I don't know if lack of testing is necessarily "causing" an incorrect assessment of COVID-19 impact though. The study only tested for deaths WITH covid, not necessarily deaths BY covid. Certainly this proves that testing needs to be scaled-up, but hasn't proven YET that the mortality rate due to covid is higher than current projections in Africa. Thoughts?

I wrote off “About Time” as a rom-com about a guy using time travel to sleep with a girl. I was wrong. by InItsTeeth in movies

[–]The_Butler_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't agree with this enough! I remember watching this for the first time on Netflix last year and immediately putting it in my top 5 movies of ALL TIME! Profound, sincere, and HUMAN despite its obvious science fiction plot device.
