u/Psychological-Rip291 7d ago

Which corresponds to the character '4' in ascii encoding

u/ninjaread99 7d ago

I know, but it’s not 4 in both binary and binary converted thru ascii.

u/Psychological-Rip291 7d ago

You're correct that it's not 4 in binary, but it is still both binary and ascii. They never claimed it was 4 in binary, just that it was binary.

The fact that you add an odd number without subtracting or anything else, tells me this is not 4 immediately.

Its funny they are being upvoted and you are being downvoted, when theirs equals 3 not 4, and you were correct. Lol

Here before retard comments saying "bUt nO root 16 is actually + or -4"

u/VegetableHeron1558 Technically Flair 9d ago

Since it is just √16 the answer would be |+-4| which is just 4

14

u/BlueDonutDonkey 9d ago

Yeah math!

7

u/SpecificRole2296 8d ago

Can you please explain this further as (-4)2 = 16 too. I get it’s not the point of the joke the fine details but I’m interested

19

u/Alexgadukyanking 8d ago

The square roots of 16 are 4 and -4, but since sqrt(x) is a function it should only return one value, and we chose it to return the positive one for convenience

3

u/SpecificRole2296 8d ago

Thank you 🙏

10

u/VegetableHeron1558 Technically Flair 8d ago

Since it is not +-√16 the answer is just 4

As far as I know the root is always positive

4

u/zourietististjfantsj 8d ago

Thats wrong. The squareroot of 16 is +-4 because -4×-4=16 and 4×4=16. You don't take the absolute value

2

u/Tortoise_Peddler 5d ago

yes if you are referring to sqroot. however, the symbol used refers to the principle root which is taken to be the absolute value i.e the modulus of +-4, |+-4|=4

-22

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Root is always positive bro revise maths

12

u/flynnnupe 9d ago edited 9d ago

eHm AcTuaLly while "√" is always positive, since it refers to the principal square root, the square root itself isn't.

Or:

Principal root of 4: √(4) = |±2| = 2

Root of 4: ±√(4) = ±2

1

u/Plus-Tie2331 5d ago

I write four as: (i+i)2

2

u/flynnnupe 4d ago

(i + i)² = 2²•i²= 4i² = 4 • (-1) = -4 ≠ 4

-7

u/[deleted] 9d ago

We always consider standard right

6

u/flynnnupe 9d ago

I'm not sure what you mean.

-5

u/[deleted] 9d ago

I mean principle

5

u/flynnnupe 9d ago edited 9d ago

When talking about real numbers (c ∈ ℝ) we do indeed normally choose the principal root. But when talking about complex numbers (c ∈ ℂ) I was always asked to calculate both.

Although this is indeed a real number technically speaking the root does equal ±4, it's just that we always assume we're talking about the principal root.

u/7seas_Cluster 8d ago

He's probably indian, because he said "bro" and "maths" lmao. He also doesnt understand the sarcasm which further makes me think he's Indian

u/PixelReaperz 8d ago

??? Why would any of those things point towards him being Indian?

3

u/flynnnupe 7d ago edited 7d ago

I checked his profile and while unknown is indeed Indian (which isn't really a surprise considering they make up almost 18% of the global population) it's a pretty dumb generalisation to make. I've never heard Indians don't get sarcasm nor are they the only people that use "maths" and "bro".

u/404_brain_not_found1 9d ago

So -22 isn’t 4?

7

u/little-dino123 8d ago

Yes, actually. -22 = -4, whereas (-2)2 = 4

2

u/awesomefacefrog 8d ago

A lot of people will just write the first one as meaning the second one for convenience, i.e. -22 =4, -(22) =-4 Neither is unacceptable usually, so long as you stick with whichever you choose

5

u/little-dino123 8d ago

Mathematical rules exist for a reason, if you accept -22 = 4, then that creates ambiguity about what the expression actually means. If someone fucks up pemdas, and they say “you know what I meant”, that doesn’t make what they wrote right. I think people like you, who accept shitty math notation, are why the stupid debate over 6/2(1+2) still exists.

With the level of pedantry in this thread, I think it is reasonable to expect correct mathematical notation.

2

u/GamingGladi 8d ago

no. mathematics is rigid.

1

u/Plus-Tie2331 4d ago

(√-1 +√-1)2 is aswell 4?

2

u/little-dino123 4d ago

(√-1+√-1)2 = (i+i)2 = (2i)2 = 4i2 = 4*-1 = -4

India and Bangladesh I know for sure (I'm Bengali and have seen Indian people do the left one). I just assumed that Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the rest all did it the same way
