1 != 2

1=1..........

 

You can't do a factorial of one, dumbass.

 

an exclamation mark is in maths now!? and i though algebra was hard..

 

Yup, but "exclamation marks" in math are easy.

And I suck at math 8D

Edit: What grade are you in? You might be doing it this year.

 

1! = 1.

Hence you can do a factorial of one, it just isn't very interesting. It certainly doesn't equal 2.

 

what the hells a factoral?!
i just found out what a reciprocal is..

 

1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
5! = 120

See if you can find the pattern.

 

Not quite what I was going for...

It's a little itty bit of java code called a relational operator
1 != 2 = = 1 doesn't equal 2

Stargate was a good show btw, i'm sad they ended it...

 

is it the number times the answer before it?

 

Dude, fuck Java programming. I'm probably saying that because my teacher was horrible at teaching it. I thought it was somewhat interesting. I completely forgot about that, though.

 

Close, and kinda right. But what does the ! sign signify? What does it do to say 3 to get the answer 6?

 

Yeah, like
5!=1*2*3*4*5
Ooops sry Teal'c.

 

You don't just give them the answer D: They'll never learn otherwise :(

 

1!=1 =1 x1
2!= 2 =2 x 1
3!= 6 = 6 x 2
4!= 24 =4 x 6
5!= 120 =5 x 24...and so on..

 

Yeah you're right :P But this isn't big deal now, if it was something else mor important then yeah I'd push them to find it on their own.

 

No more numbers... D8 I have a geometry class coming up. ><

 

Geometry sucks... I'm not very good at it, just basic stuff and only a few advanced stuff.

 

i'm doing trig at the moment.... i forgot the cosine rule already..

 

It's actually the number multiplied by every integer number before it down to and including 1.

So 4! = 4x3x2x1 = 24 etc.
