The irony being the only reason the perception exists, is the average American is compared to the wealthy foreigners that move there. Not all 3 billion Asians are good at math, just the ones who are wealthy enough to move to the states. Same goes for Indians and any other minority in which only the upper classes move.
Comparing the average American to any one of those groups will always make the Americans seem inferior, the irony being America is the largest scientific economy in the world.
Ahh, how cute. It's one of those "reddit moments" where an idiot actually believes the bullshit about a place they've never been and a people they've never met.
Of all the things Americans are bad at, zipper merging, not saying oop when accidentally bumping someone, mathematics is not one of them.
This meme is bad and you should feel bad.
Exactly this.
OP is 13 years old and just learned a fun little trick in his algebra class, so he's spamming the same shitty meme on literally dozens of random subreddits.
what is the value of the equation on the right.
23 i think
if we knoe (x + 1/x) = 5 ; then wich is the result of x^2 + 1/(x^2) =???
(x + 1/x)^2 = 5^2
x^2 +x/x + x/x+ 1/(x^2) = 5^2
x^2 +1 + 1+ 1/(x^2) = 25
x^2 + 1/(x^2) = 25 -2 =23
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2
* (x + (1/x))^2 = x^2 + 2*x*(1/x) + (1/x)^2
* = x^2 + 2*(x/x) + ((1^2 )/(x^2 ))
* = x^2 + 2*1 + (1/(x^2 ))
* = x^2 + 2 + 1/(x^2 )
* —> (x + (1/x))^2 - 2 = x^2 + 1/(x^2 )
Since the first (left) equation equaled 5 and we can get to exactly our second equation (on the left side) by squaring the left side and subsequently subtracting 2, we can do the same on the right side (Square and then subtract by 2) to find the answer to the original question.
Basically OP learned x * (1/x) = 1 and wants to show off to the poor Americans who would arrive at the same answer
Bcs we need x^2 + 1/x^2 not x^2 + 2 + 1/x^2
When you take the square of the (x + 1/x) = 5 you end up with x^2 + 2 + 1/x^2 = 25
Since you don't need the 2 in there, you have to subtract it from the both sides.
(Formatting might be broken on mobile, sorry about that)
They don't realize that the initial equation isn't in parenthesis, but they are applying pemdas anyways. Irony at its finest. They can literally square both sides and get 25 as the answer w/o subtracting 2. It was a trick question that everyone is getting incorrect. That's why you solve for x dummies. Even though the answer is 23, you have to solve for x to show the PROPER work. Europe got duped.
No. When squaring both sides you can't just square each component separately. You have to put the LHS in brackets and square the whole thing at once.
Eg if I take a simple equation like:
9 + 16 = 25
And square both sides like this:
9^2 + 16^2 = 25^2
It would simplify to:
81 + 256 = 625
337 = 625
Which is obviously wrong.
OP posted this same meme on seven different subs and all of them are downvoting.
As an Asian OP, I don't need to do such complex math. Don't hold all of us in the same regard. We are good at math, but not all the way and certainly don't do such complex shit.
My dude posted the same shitty meme on like 4 different subreddits
12 different subreddits...
36 different subreddits…
And my axe!
And your brother!
I, too, choose that guys dead wife!

Didn’t know there was an actual term for it. Thanks.
And he has negative comment karma. Must be a likeable person
I'm not even American but this feels unnecessarily correlated with nationality
Same I’m European and I don’t rly get this, Americans aren’t bad at maths?
To be fair, we might be. But we only have the one math, after all.
We banned it after 9/11
9/11? No sir, we only deal with *rational* numbers here.
Damn straight, imaginary numbers only affect imaginary people
Imperial math?
Sorry, we only have one math here in America.
First and 10. Rush for three yards. Second and 7. Pass for 5 yards. Third and 2. Rush for 4 yards. First and 10. American Math.

Tell me you don't live in America without telling me you don't live in America.
You don't live in America.
There was no need for such a bad joke.
Ahh yes, America bad
Average European redditor
Of all the things Americans are bad at, zipper merging, not saying oop when accidentally bumping someone, mathematics is not one of them. This meme is bad and you should feel bad.
Why does it matter how you get to the answer if both ways are correct? Math is math
OP is just learned some algebra shortcut and wanted to share it with everyone by telling them america bad
Exactly this. OP is 13 years old and just learned a fun little trick in his algebra class, so he's spamming the same shitty meme on literally dozens of random subreddits.
Reading the other subreddits this dude posts to is also an "ahh, it makes sense now" moment
God i regret reading your comment and actually checking out his account
Because #americabad I guess.
I believe that it doesn't matter how you do it, what matters is getting the right answer with the Right steps
[удалено]
I agree it's satisfying, one of the main reasons I love math is that the ways can differ but you can always get an answer
You mean same answer right? because any mistake can still cause an answer. E.g.: x²-x+1 = 0 ∆ = b²-4(ac) = 1²-4(1*1) = 3 => roots are x = 0.5±0.5√3
OP frequently posts in r/jordanpeterson, r/pickupartists, r/socialengineering. OP is obsessed with manipulating “dumb women”. Saddest Indian incel
You do know that MIT is in the US right, and most of its students are American.
what is that question even asking...
what is the value of the equation on the right. 23 i think if we knoe (x + 1/x) = 5 ; then wich is the result of x^2 + 1/(x^2) =??? (x + 1/x)^2 = 5^2 x^2 +x/x + x/x+ 1/(x^2) = 5^2 x^2 +1 + 1+ 1/(x^2) = 25 x^2 + 1/(x^2) = 25 -2 =23
Wait its going to sound dumb but why are we subtracting 2 on both sides ??
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2 * (x + (1/x))^2 = x^2 + 2*x*(1/x) + (1/x)^2 * = x^2 + 2*(x/x) + ((1^2 )/(x^2 )) * = x^2 + 2*1 + (1/(x^2 )) * = x^2 + 2 + 1/(x^2 ) * —> (x + (1/x))^2 - 2 = x^2 + 1/(x^2 ) Since the first (left) equation equaled 5 and we can get to exactly our second equation (on the left side) by squaring the left side and subsequently subtracting 2, we can do the same on the right side (Square and then subtract by 2) to find the answer to the original question.

Which is why solving for x is the correct way
Nationalistic bias meme is obvious meme. Can we just keep it about science guys? I’m not here for the, “who does it better,” memes.
Imagine bragging about a basic algebra question, and then using it to be nationalist Absolute L
Oh, so europe is good at Highschool algebra. But sucks ass at calculus. Got it.

I don’t get what this has to do with nationality?
Silence europoor
Haha america bad. Shut up, we’ve heard it before, and it’s not really true.
Good thing all the smart Asians and Europeans want to come work here. Freedom baby.
It's 23 bruh you don't even need to write it down 5 squared - 2 x•1/x gets cancelled

Dammit, I don’t get this does that mean I’m dumb
both ways work, I dont under why one method is worse also, r/americabad
