Glad i was able to make it to round 3. It's been over 9 months since i had anything to do with maths at least for a med student. That was a really stiff competition tho.

Re: Nairaland Math Quiz Winner l::::::JARYEH::::::l by AlphaMaximus(m): 5:21pm On Nov 13, 2013
Alpha Maximus: Round 2- Question 2
2. The cube root of a number is the equivalent of 11 times the square of the number less 31 times the number plus 21. The cube root of the number is simultaneously equal to 15 times the square of the number plus 24 less 38 times the number. What is the logarithm of this number to 2 decimal places?
OPTIONS:
A. -1.58
B. 0.95
C. 2.10
D. 1.00
E. 0.00
Alright here's the solution:
The trick is that you just have to find two things equal to each other and ignore the cube root statement. Translating the aforementioned statement into equations we have that the cube root of the unknown number is equal to 11a^2-31a +21 and is also equal to 15a^2-38a+24...this is a disguised inference that both quadratic equations are also equal to each other.
Thus, 11a^2-31a+21= 15a^2-38a+24
Collecting like terms we have:
4a^2-7a-3=0
Factorising we have a=3/4(false through testing) and a=1(irrefutably authentic cheesy) But wait, it doesn't end there! We have to find its logarithm and this does not even require a scientific calculator as do ALL of the pre-posted problems.
Log1=x
10^x=1
The only index which transforms any number into 1 is 0....thus the correct answer was 0.00....brace yourselves for tomorrow, its gonna be , well, not as 'nice' as today cheesy grin

Alpha Maximus: ...And besides, who has time to exhibit favouritism on this thread? Its all for the sake of learning and healthy competition. I'm afraid I have to say your statement lacked substance.
oga nlaa abeg no vess if my word has emanated infuriation in U, precisely i hail u people 4 ur profound work. But wat i'm actually explicating was dat,'assuming u didn't post d ans,i would keep on fooling myself believing dat my workings was wrong,i remembered i solved d question within limited time nd posted d ans via email as 0.00 but quiet unfortunate dat u people didnt add mark to my score which culd av notified me dat my answer was right. Any way we ar one just kip on doing ur good work. Weldone guys!
