Admits they suck at math.
Tries to correct the math.
Is wrong.
I'm fuckin' dead rn ๐
Me searching the place for my old Ti83 after stumbling on this thread.
My partner: why are you even looking for this thing??
Me: Somebody on the Internet is WRONG.
My partner: Good enough, I'll help!
That's a keeper in my book.
I know, it's good to have someone in your life with priorities.
I happened to have my ti-83 plus next to me. I got 16!
YES finally, some sense in here. ๐คฃ
I ended up downloading a Ti-83 emulator because mine has been devoured by the magical house gremlins.
Then I admit I'm wrong, I just don't get how PEMDAS/I got it wrong.
Short story, PEMDAS kinda sucks, because it has 4 levels of priority, but 6 letters:
M and D are the same level, priority is from left to right.
A and S are the same level, priority is from left to right.
Just tested this on a Ti-83 too.
8/2(2+2) = 16
My calculator gets 1. Weird.
I love you brought the TI truth lul
My one big criticism of the Ti-83/84 is implicit multiplication. Ti says 1/2x is 0.5x when I needed the reciprocal of 2x.
You got it right
