Samantha124:
The reason I registered on nairaland was to learn more about Nigerians.

Same with me. Here we see both the best and worst of the average Nigerian unlike other SM platforms where people only post the best part of themselves.

I told him that I could get him an affordable phone while waiting for his father to send him some money because he really needed it.

Biko is the phone still available...I need one badly!

EDOLUWA:
Robots dey do tins for my office but na we dey program wetin den dey do

There's big difference between robots and ai
Robots do what they have been programmed to do.
Because you cannot write seperate codes of all the things a robot should do...
Ai was created.
Ai is programmed to learn things and practice them without being told to.
So instead of saying 'robot do this...robot do that...robot do this...robot don't do that...', you now have 'ROBOT learn how to do EVERYTHING.......but don't do this and that'

WAPINATION:
Robots can never exist without human assistance think about it.

Once robots have inbuilt power generator and can move just like humans then we are doomed.
There's big difference between robots and Ai.
One day you'd wake up and find the two Ai robots you created communicating in a strange language...you'd have to go back to their hardware memory storage to understand their new language...
If they can refuse you access there'll be problem.
Just as chatgpt is almost all-knowing, chat gpt software in a humanoid robot would know how to apply all existing fighting skills. How to operate almost every weapon.. How to speak every language...How to play every sport......How to write codes in all languages...
Think about that!

It would read and understand a pdf of 2000 pages in less than a minute...
Imagine such tremendous knowledge

I want my Handwriting to be etched in history...

How do I turn my handwriting into a .ttf font file so that future generations can use it?

Imagine what It'd feel like if I could type in my great grandfather's handwriting?

Reminds me of when I opened my UBA account. 5 days later I got a call telling me that I should come to the bank to collect my atm card.
When I reached the bank, these people were like...DONT pick all those calls o. ITS all those scammers.EVEN WHEN YOU COLLECT YOUR CARD THEY'LL CALL YOU AGAIN AND ASK FOR YOUR DETAILS....

Like how tf do the scammers know when I come to the bank and what I came to the bank to do?!?!

Catholic schools are really trying. Take a look at St. Gregs, Obalende, Lagos.
Even at Ifite Awka where I stay....Catholic schools are just everywhere.

Just saw it now sef...me no dey like status

miftaudeen:
Those who bow for Mary and the masquerade himself are the same

No Catholic bows for any of Mary's statues or images.

My moniker is one to remember.
I'm a dedicated ghost reader but when I make a post...take heed!

Multiple ear piercing is the height of immorality.
Even two holes on one ear lobe is too much.
I wish I could use voice notes here
I am not talking from a Religious point of view here...
There are some things that when you see them it really looks indecent.

In my life I have guiding principles...I don't buy alcoholic drinks with my money. It reduces addiction.
I avoid sex before marriage...It gives me Self-Worth.
I avoid any intentional self-inflicted permanent marks on my body...Example tattoo...ear piercing...etc.
I would very much love the picture of Mary on my shoulder just like Messi...but what happens if religion is proven untrue? I am stuck with a religious picture on my arm.

Majority of people here said its bad and you are still modifying the question expecting someone to tell you what you want to hear.

There's another thing about permanent body marks...It denies you of many opportunities.
If 80% of Nigerian men do not like double ear piercing, you have automatically cut down your chances of finding a husband.
You have also cut down your chances of getting jobs in firms headed by those men.

You have made life harder for yourself.

IMO no matter how decent you dress, once I see double piercing...I lose any respect I wanted to accord you.
I mean, there are earrings that can be placed on the ear lobes without any piercing...they still give the same beauty...but you decided to pierce.
This life is dynamic, you might meet up with someone that would hurt you cos your multi pierced lobes makes you indecent
Double piercing might seem nice to you but remember the western world...They are the epitome of immorality. If you keep on imitating the west, you might end up with homosexuality and the rest of them...

I'm a 16yr old nairalander and I can tell you that my generation is disappointed in you

If gays should not be sanctioned because God is all-loving then this should apply to all Criminals because God also loves sinners

2^x + 2^3x = 16 = 2^x + 2^x+2x = 16 = 2^x (1+2^2x) = 16 = 1 + 2^(2x) = 16/2^x

From this point, it went all wrong.

RileyGee:
Any help on how I can clear my forehead and face from pimples and dark spots please
Really rough

make topic for this thing abeg. I wan check something

2paid2Bmad:
This was how we were taught in secondary school, so anybody screaming Cardano or Cardoso or Ethereum formula take note, doesn’t this also arrive at the same answer without stress??

Oya put 1 into the equation and check if you are correct na

Deicide:
Since this is a programming section, you have to solve the the programming way using something like numerical analysis..

You could start from 0 to maybe like a million and input them as value of x to see if it equat zero then break. Lol computers would do this very fast. You could also try negative numbers too.

Answer can also be decimal you could also check for that too.

I could do this with python but I need the solvings.

meum:
If the question were written as above then it will be mathematically incorrect

'Incorrect' like there is no answer or that the formula wont work on it. Which one?

meum:
Ask questions where you don’t understand

This is the first time I an hearing of Cardano's formula. So the formula works for all equations in that form. I was hoping to see a direct solving of the cubic equation itself. What if the question was something like this:
(2^x)+3^(3x)=16

platymus:
That's the answer I got.

You can't add up their index like that unless it was multiplication instead of addition that was between them

meum:
Okay. I will send in the step by step solution soon. Let me rewrite and make it visible enough

Alright

airsaylongcome:
It's been a long time I did all this algebra gymnastics.

Why aren't you doing something like
2^x+2^(3x)=2^4?

And simplify as they have similar base? Na 20+ years ago I do these kind things last

I tried this but I couldn't get farther than that so I decided to factorize. When I factorized the indices and substituted an arbitrary letter 'x' for 2x, the cubic equation became a problem too

meum:
Is the solution from the calculator 1.2556?

Yes. If I had used casio natural display maybe I would have analysed the answer in surd form and try to work it back .

meum:
Post the original question

Done.

How do you solve
(x^3)+x-16=0 ?
I was solving an exponential equation and it came to this and I am stuck. Calculators can produce the answers but I want to get the working. Its been getting me worried for the past 5 days now.
Original Question
(2^x)+2^(3x)=16

Draei:
You don't like anything design? Thats strange.

Whats strange about it? Unfortunately for me, thats where the money is. But can I do well in it?...I don't know

Draei:
Cool, which platform or videos did you use in learning those 2?

I am still on Css tho and I'm using https://w3schools.com .
I'm losing interest because I don't really like anything designing. I just have to learn it before I move into backend like php or django.
Most people always start tech and programming with web development and I still dont know why

Dentidon:
Omo Igbo is child of Igbo, similar to Omo Yoruba. How is it derogatory? You dey mad?

How is Afonja derogatory?

Ever wondered how they feel?
There's nothing wrong with the term 'Afonja' but Yorubas deem it as a derogatory word. They even insulted and admonished GRV for it.
Practically all Yorubas in Lagos have once used the term 'Omo Igbo'. Have you ever asked how Igbos feel when they are called that? What If Igbos used 'AFONJA' the way Yorubas use 'OMO IGBO'?
For example, 'Je gote ihe na aka nwanyi Afonja na no na bus stop'.
Would you feel okay with it?

Seun:
Dear Igbo People,

We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos.

Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome.

Sincerely,
Seun Osewa.

What is the difference between you that collected 16k and the touts that collected 1k/2k to do the real work?
You have always been tribalistic.
So it is the 32k that would return the mandate you STOLE?
What would GRVLagos think of you?
Now I know you are one of those certified urchins.
I also need to see this topic on front page.
APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.
If you are tired of running Nairaland please put it on the market.
There are many tribalists still under your very own thread. Seun what can you do? Give us action and less words
