I was just demonstrating the silliness of using "expression" instead of "number" in the question.

And people say I broke the rules with my Cubes...

hmm...This is interesting - I had this EXACT problem on my test in Calculus. It was a bonus question. :-D. And it was phrased the same way:

"What two numbers added together equal ten, and multiplied together equal 130"

:) got 1/2 credit b/c i got to using imaginary numbers b4 time ran out...too bad I skipped part of the test.

I have to know this subject..i got a test on it on sunday...

what can i say, small world... i guess...

D'OH
I read half the post, saw that no one got it, solved it... and what do I find at the end of this thread?!?!


--yes, complex numbers have conjugates that make the product real. The conjugate of 2+i, for example, would be 2-i

sigh*

lol

You guys really suck at math

/me is pre-law. I don't do math.

/me is gonna be AIR FORCE prelaw here in 3 years...

/me is just Algebra fer now

Your remind me so much of Gareth (the blonde guy) from "The Office" Pyroman.

I've got it. yija said that they're "imaginary numbers", so the numbers are this:

imaginarynumber1 + imaginarynumber2 = 10
imaginarynumber1 * imaginarynumber2 = 130

HA! to all of you who think they're Albert Einstein's twin brother. I'm his clone. Muahahaha...

/me keeps my evil laugh going for several hours, and then he decides that it's getting old. I go get a pizza. Then I moo at you.
