The impossible math problem...

[monicam]

So what do you guys think?

Solving for t.

x = |t - 1|

:thumbup:

You posted a MATH problem? I may just have to ban you now.

That is impossible. You have two variables, and only one equation, so there can be no single answer. However, we can say that:
t=1-x and t=1+x

Now find me the square root of -1.

 

[clarinetJWD]

Now find me the square root of -1.

it's either j or i depending on if you're a mathematition or an engineer. Now find me the Fourier Transform of this function: x(t)=e^(-|t-1|)

MATH NERDS! BIG GIGANTIC MATH NERDS!!!

Why am I friends with you two again? :scratch:































kidding! kidding! I love you guys! :hug::

Now find me the square root of -1.

But then x would equal t + 1.
For t = -3.

x = |t - 1|
x = |(-3) - 1|
x = |(-4)|
x = 4

t = x - 1
t = (-3) - 1
t = -4

-4 != -3

For t = -3.

x = |t - 1|
x = |(-3) - 1|
x = |(-4)|
x = 4

t = x - 1
t = (-3) - 1
t = -4

-4 != -3

What makes you think t=x-1?

t != x - 1.
You have it backwards.
t = 1 - x or 1+x

if t=-3, then x=4.
t=1-4 =-3

NERDS!

 

[Corry]

NERDS!

I already covered that.

 

[Unimaxium]

This really is simple algebra

 

[MommyOf4Boys]

I already covered that.

I was just adding to the "equation" BAHAHAHAHA!
