Riddle me this...

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Oh its not for help, I know the answer, just thought some people would like a challenge.

WRONG!!

(SPOILER)I think. . .

How the heck is this a riddle?

I never said it was a riddle!!!!

Riddle me this...

I feel so deceived.

ok I THINK the point is (-2,root6)
and the distance is either root6-1 or something less than that
tell me if im right before i give a bunch or working\

or wait
never mind

ok ok this time
the point is (-2 , 1+root5)
the distance is root5 or something slightly less
I THINK

HAHA!!!!!!!! Now I remember how to do it!!!! Your not suppose to plug both numbers in at once. Here it is. First, we plug in -2 in X place to find Y. The equation is now Y=1+(3-[-2])^(1/2). First the parenthesis. (3-[-2])=5. So, the Equation is now Y=1+5^(1/2). Now for the Square root. Square root of 5 is 25. So, the equation is now Y=1+25. Which means Y=26. Now to find for X, we'll replace 1 with Y to find X. 1=1+(3-X)^(1/2). First the parenthesis, (3-X)=-3X. The equation is now 1=1+(-3X)^(1/2). Now then, we'll subtract 1 from both side crossing out the 1 on the left side of the equal sign. the equation is now 0=-3X^(1/2). Now we'll need to eliminate that square root. So, we'll put a square root on both side of the equal sign crossing out the square root on left side of the equal sign. As for the right side of the equal sign, the square root of 0 is 0. So, the equation is now 0= -3X. Now then, we'll need to eliminate the -3 from the X. So, we'll add 3 to both sides of the equal sign crossing out the -3 on left side of the equal sign and adding 3 to 0 on the right side of the equal sign. The answer would be 3=X. The overall answer is (3, 26). But I can be wrong...:rolleyes2

Disappointing brother...:rolleyes2

Oh and Typhoon....the square root of 5 is not 25

This is like setting up a resturant but you sell undergarments instead of food and beverages.

Ive just been doing these in lessons, but not together. Ive done 1/2 square roots, and graphs like those, but not together ;o

Don't start with me!
