I'm doing trigonometry this semester and lo behold with the book came this little booklet type thingy with a password for the wonderful site of 'My Math Lab' or commonly known for MACC math students as MML. Right now I'm doing the homework assigned by the professor with as much 'enthusiasm' as I can muster.
I'm hungry and bored and too lazy to get up from the chair. I have a history map to complete for the history class and have to read seven books in Iliad for the mythology class.
So here I was switching between doing h/w for MML and playing farmville in facebook when this wonderful problem of identifying quadrants for trig functions came up. And I was halfway through this wonderful problem where the answer was quadrant 3 and I kept pushing the damn number 3 on my keyboard and after doing it twice (You get three chances to get the right answer)I had an inkling of why it was saying my answer was wrong. And then after cursing the poor laptop in two different languages I pushed number 3 again.
And the wonderful MML said, "Your answer is incorrect. You answered '3' when the right answer is 'III'."
And I was (rightfully) very pissed off and started cursing MML in two different languages.. again.
And I WILL tell the professor!!! Just you wait MML!! I will win this war!!
P.S- Since I can't do anything to MML until I talk to the professor, I will hearby stop doing the homework and go back to farmville.
Maybe you should stop Facebooking and concentrate on your math. When writing quadrant numbers Roman numerals are always exclusively used (like Quadrant III or QIII and NEVER Q3). Maybe that's what My Math Lab expected. Even if it's online, they probably expect the students to follow proper math etiquette.
ReplyDeletehello.. the keyboard doesn't have roman numerals in it.. duh! :P
ReplyDeleteHello, you write Roman numerals using capital I & V...stupid
ReplyDeleteI did know how to write it in Roman numbers either lol I thought the math lab had an option to convert the 4 into Roman numerals but it doesn't so instead of failing I Google this and found your brilliant answer thank you so much for this so I put in a capital i and a capital v on my regular key board IV and got the answers correct thank you so much for sharing this
Deleteu could've told me that when I was actually DOING the h/w!!!!!
ReplyDeleteerr... am I psychic? Any grade schooler will know how to type Roman numerals..I mean are you brain dead?
ReplyDeleteI, II, III, IV,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX,X, L,C
uh,, i was talking to u when i was doin the h/w and i certainly remember speaking out my.. concern.. over the fact that i couldn't put roman numerals in my answer.. it's certainly not my fault that ur deaf!
ReplyDeleteerm...you only said that your answer was correct but the online answer was in Roman numerals. You didn't ask me whether you should write the answer in Roman numerals.
ReplyDeletePlease don't insult deaf people.
i wasn't insulting deaf people.. just u.. i said the program kept saying that the answer was wrong and that I didn't know how to put roman numerals..
ReplyDeletegood luck for your life with that brain.
ReplyDeleteYou gals are just brutal! Well, Dinithi, now you know better.
ReplyDeleteAre you harvesting Roman Numerals at Farmville?
ReplyDeleterofl.. not really.. just puttin off MML h/w..
