Even better: get a soda keg, fill with water and charge with CO2. Seltzer on tap!

Yes, it would be easy to misinterpret my comment as condoning vigilantism, which was not my intention. I’m not going to shed a tear for that guy either.

that’s not a result, that’s it’s shitty AI response. I am talking about the actual search results.

By your words: you solve an equation. What I gave you to simplify was an algebraic fraction. As a teacher you should have realized that.

That ain’t it otherwise his arms would be deformed as well. Looks like his waist was shopped up to me… Also removing his right thumb.

Here’s the problem though: the CEO will never have had his day in court, or have at least any reasonable punishment enforced upon them. He, and these other rich assholes, are effectively untouchable. Sure, you’ll hear a couple getting dragged into court for some reason or another, but will they ever have their lives ruined akin to what this shithead did to his clients? No, they pay for it to go away and then continue on like nothing happened.

Exception: they will face consequences if whatever they do hurts someone richer than them, usually by ripping them off (see: Madoff, Bankman-Fried, etc).

So you’re just ignoring the fact that many of the results from that search indicate that factoring can be used to simplify something? K.

So then you wouldn’t use factoring to simplify the math I gave you?

Man you’re dense.

It’s raw text on my side, looks fine. It might be fixed now? Not sure how the formatting works for equations on Lemmy.

And correct, I don’t agree with whatever you are interpreting from your math textbooks because “simplify” literally means to make the equation easier to understand. You are arguing that “expand and simplify” is the exact same thing as “simplify”… Which if they were, it would just be in word, wouldn’t it… Sometimes factoring is prudent. Other times expansion is necessary. This is exemplified by the math I gave in the previous comment.

And thanks for the downvotes. I hope you don’t treat your students the same way when they question your ultimate wisdom by dismissing them outright. I certainly don’t to mine.

My point (made poorly) was there is “expand and simplify” and also “factor and simplify”. Two different things.

Are you a high school math teacher by chance? Because you’re using a rigid definition of simplify that I don’t necessarily agree with. For example, if I give you the fraction:

(x²+(a+b)x+ab)/(x²+ax-bx-ab)

And told you to simplify, what would you do?

Or “factor and simplify”.

My stipulation was that the x-x term didn’t exist, such that the equation would be fully simplified (assuming the request was “factor and simplify”). Yes, you could also “expand and simplify” (as in your other comment) but I would argue the result of that would be less simplified than the factored version. Eye of the beholder type thing.

I agree that if x-x did exist as a term then expand and simplify would be correct (that is if x-x wasn’t noticed to be 0 immediately and no expansion would be needed at all).

Did they both exclusively eat McDonald’s?

His asshole

Expand

He probably already plays with AI, and if you were to listen in, it’d be painfully embarrassing.

I think they jpeg’ed it up.
