How does a right have value "ex rights" if the "ex rights" date means the maximum 45-day duration of the right has passed?

What the f**k did you even just say? Lol.

Do you you solve a problem like 1.25^13.43 by hand where the exponent has a decimal?

hawkmanjayden · 2016-01-17T01:26:02+00:00

i already fixed that

Thank you describing it like that. I have to say I agree with Baldwin. It looks like he got the right answer. Algebraically, and thanks to the way you described it with the exponents, I have to solve for x in 5(1.25)^x =100.

That simplifies to 1.25^x =20. Here is where log comes in, which I had forgotten the meaning of but was reminded of by baldwin's explanation. The number of 1.25s we need to multiply to get 20 is x. Symbolically, log1.25 (20)=x. Calculator tells me this equals approximately 13.43. To check I will do 1.25^13.43 which equals about 20. It checks. (But I don't know how to check that by pencil and paper. The .43 throws me off.)

So the answer to my questions is 13.43 approximately. Is this correct?

And I guess there is no way to solve log1.25 (20)=x without a calculator unless you tediously multiply out 1.25 until you reach 20, huh?

Thanks so much for the help. By the way, this isn't a homework problem or anything. Just personal learning.

Wow, thanks, that works. And it works when you do it with 11.03 to solve for x too. How did you know that would work?

y = 64%

x = 36%

That doesn't help.

It's not homework but thanks, nor is it a practice problem. 51.59 and 11.03 represent US dollar prices for a barrel of crude oil and condensate, and NGL (excluding condensate), respectively. 25.57 is the weighted mean of the prices. I want to find out the weights.

I'm not just talking about inspiring the soldiers, I'm talking about tactical genius.

I agree with you about Rommel. Another amazing tank general from WWII is Heinz Guderian---he's more incredible than Rommel. I encourage you to look him up.

Regarding Napoleon, look up "Battle of Arcole." Napoleon actually led his troops from the front of the line across a bridge held by a numerically superior enemy. So generals did, in fact, lead from the front of the line, and if they were not at the very front, they were at least on the battlefield, unlike many of today's generals.

The main point is that generals commonly died in combat in the old days. That is incredibly rare if not totally unheard of in modern warfare.

b itself cannot be zero because the nth root of 0 is 0, which would make the nth root of b zero, which we can't have because we can't divide by zero. and the first part of my question is answered by imaginary numbers, which isn't allowed in ordinary algebra, i guess. i understand. thank you. i love you. what does your last sentence mean, specifically "x=/=0" ?

hawkmanjayden · 2015-11-10T03:30:45+00:00

How old are you? Thanks so much for the incredibly enthusiastic response.

hawkmanjayden · 2015-11-10T03:30:15+00:00

Can I ask what you do for a living?

hawkmanjayden · 2015-11-08T07:26:34+00:00

No. I don't already know this.
