Skurai, I have found your soul mate.

While attempting to ask this person on AIM for help on negative exponents in algebra, he just kept reminding me of you. I think you two would get along very well. Here's part of the convo, feel free to message him on aim and talk your insane nonsense to each other.

[Yeah, it's long, so if you're not Skurai then don't bother reading it.]

[15:56] chicnstu012: are you good at math?
[15:57] PaulostheSpy: Depends on the math.
[15:57] chicnstu012: Negative exponents in algebra
[15:57] PaulostheSpy: :hooooooooly $#*@:
[15:57] PaulostheSpy: oh yeahhhhhhhhhh
[15:57] chicnstu012: ?
[15:57] PaulostheSpy: I can do thattttttttttt

[15:59] chicnstu012: Ok, I drew the problem in paint, including the answer and the steps to get there (Im teaching myself out of a book) but I just don't understand WHY it works, and if you can tell me/explain to me why, it would be greatly appreciated.
[16:00] PaulostheSpy: well.........
[16:00] PaulostheSpy: you see, CHICKEN STEW
[16:00] PaulostheSpy: From what I've read.........
[16:00] PaulostheSpy: Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as an, involving two numbers, the base a and the exponent n. When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication; in other words, a product of n factors of a:
[16:00] PaulostheSpy: ..........what the heeeeeeeck does that mean.
[16:01] chicnstu012: Im assuming you won't be able to help eh? lol
[16:01] PaulostheSpy: oh no ...... I uh

[16:09] PaulostheSpy: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHH!! !!!!!

Jesus. That makes my head want to explode. That has to be Skurai.

Ugh...

That's rather amusing. I see what you mean, too!

---

On the note of negative exponents:

2^2 = 4
2^(-2) = 1/4

x^(-y) can be treated as one over x^y, so 2^(-2) = 1/(2^2) = 1/4.

Hope that helps.

Negative exponents are child's play. Move up to imaginary/complex exponents

I remember negative exponents. They were fun.

Holy shit. Good read. I laughed my ass off.

are you good at meth?


depends on the meth

keeps on keepin on runnin outta propane




shit

Not propane, rather lye

LoL!
So which one is it? I added them both, anyway, but still.

Edit: I once won a math award, until algebra started. I hate Algebra.

C'mon skittles, it's not THAT difficult to figure out. I said "While attempting to ask this person on AIM for help on negative exponents in algebra..." So that would mean I am the person asking for help in math, and the person I'm asking, would be your soul mate.

So you're 1,500 people guy?

So you're 1,500 people guy?

...Are you fucking kidding me?


cfgvb7ikyhf <----- Do you see that? DO YOU FUCKING SEE THAT? THAT, WAS A FACEROLL, BECAUSE OF YOUR GOD DAMN STUPIDITY. LOOK:

I said I, ME, SPECTOR, was asking someone about a math problem. Therefore, when you read the conversation you saw that "Chicnstu012" Was asking fucktard (Your soul mate) a mathematical question.

SO, that means I am chicnstu012 and your soul mate is PaulostheSpy.

Jesus fucking christ...
