Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the answer is:
51y(3y(4y))+27y-27y.7y
=51y(12y)+27y-27y.7y
=612y+27y-27y.7y
=639y-189y
=450

I'm not really sure if that's the real answer I'm still learning algebra so...

QUOTE

Thats where you went wrong.

The 27y-27.7y=-0.3y

So 612+-0.3=611.7y

Add the fact that it should be 612 y=cubed(3)

makes it 611.7y(3)

At least if I beleive correctly

isnt the "." supposed to mean multiplication? I didnt think there was a decimal involved. Could the person who typed it out first be more specific? If it is a decimal shouldnt it be as written above. If not than it should be written the way it originally was. (27y-27y.7y)

I read a book of algebra and it said that the ".","/",and()meant multiplication.
The Black Knight
I could have sworn that a "/" meant divide.

And, assuming that the "." means multiply, you're all forgetting some very basic calculus rules. Y multiplied by itself does not equal itself. It equals Y², or Y squared.

Therefore, from what I can see, the answer is as follows:

51y(3y(4y))+27y-27y.7y
= 51y(12y²) + 27y - 189y²
= 612y³ -189y² + 27y
Factor out the common y
= y(612y²-189y+27)
Set equal to 0
0=y(612y²-189y+27)
Use the Quadratic formula of (-b+or- √b² -4ac)/2a
and you end up with y=(21+or- (5√11)(i))/136
As far as I can see, the answer is a non-real answer, and 0.
I could be dead wrong though. Someone correct me.
Side note: i = √-1 or the square root of -1

(All this is assuming you are solving for the x-intercepts)

A: Treason is the only crime that has its minimum standard set in the Constitution itself, in Article 3, Section 3. There, treason is defined and the standard for conviction is set. No other crime is treated so thoroughly. However, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6 specifically mentions counterfeiting, which may be what your friend is thinking of. Other clauses in that section mention much more nebulous crimes, such as "Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas" and the like.

Now for the greatest of all questions, a question to which Australians have searched for all time.

"Why is the Platypus?"

Not why is it anything just why is the platypus.

(Personally i think that if there is a god he was VERY drunk on the day he made the platypus)

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a 30–60 cm long, semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania, and one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young (the other four are echidnas). It is the sole extant representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of fossilised relatives have been found, some of them also in the Ornithorhynchus genus.

What's your definition of "difficult"???

My definition of difficult...I'd have to go with "Not easy".

But I suppose that was rather hard. We learned it in first year University Psychology. It's the Suprachiasmatic Nuclei, or SCN for short.
