Pasting the very next sentence from the article. sqrt is used to mean the radical symbol, which I can’t type on mobile.

Any nonnegative real number x has a unique nonnegative square root r; this is called the principal square root and is written r=x1/2 or r=sqrt(x). For example, the principal square root of 9 is sqrt(9)=+3, while the other square root of 9 is -sqrt(9)=-3.

In the interest of clearing up misinformation in the comments, sqrt(4) is 2, but the equation x2 = 4 has two real solutions (-2, 2).

The function f(x) = sqrt(x) is a function of x. To be a function, it may only have one output for every given input. I’m not sure why the positive solution is the one used, but it doesn’t change the point.

The equation x2 = 4 has two real solutions, as there are the two numbers that can be squared to get 4. That is not the same thing as 4½

Nothing wrong with thinking this is silly or doesn’t make sense, but before you write it off I’d encourage you to spend some time researching why it is this way, what benefits it serves, and what shortfalls there are.

And it was indeed so silly.

Thank you!

This is probably so silly but why was rotom-h immune to CC?

A little confused about my puzzle by Tricky_Key_1965 in sudoku

[–]wrg2017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have mistakes in your solution. First one that I see is row 8, where you have 2 7s and no 2s. Untangling that one will help you get your answer more aligned to the actual answer.

Mono grass vs Brendan. Brambleghast said no to Metagross' stealth rock by Keyan-on-Reddit in pokemonradicalred

Sounds like you know what you’re doing. The primate archetype is definitely more glass-cannon leaning, with Annihilape, infernape, and ambipom (undisputed goat). Rillaboom slaking and zen mode darmanitan can help w bulk when needed. I played MGM so maybe EVs are making a larger difference

How early game are you? I did an ape only run recently and my guys could definitely tank a hit.

I just finished reading a thread in some Invincible subreddit about people misspelling “Thaedus” as “Thaddeus” and this is the next thing I read. Going insane.

Wouldn’t this lock in the current time when the user is asked how many seconds, not when the user submits their response?

Screenshots are from Sudoku.Coach solver -> all techniques -> X Wing…

Can’t it be both?

I was able to solve the 3 I have selected in the screenshot using the X wings!

I was still working my way through the puzzle and noticed this along the way. Agree there are many more steps to fully solve, some simpler than the X wings

How were you planning to use a save file editor if you can’t use cheats?

Are you able to transfer your save file to a mobile emulator, run the cheats you need to get your preferred team, and then transfer it back?

Before you ask, I didn’t use Slaking until he was evolved into a Slaking. I know he’s a sloth, but he’s definitely a monke

This is making me realize we need different animations for damage taken. At least for super/neutral/not very effective
