says the person who is actually reading them wrong, who is unable to cite any example of me reading it wrong
clearly says a number next to a bracket means the content of the bracket must be multiplied with said number
the content of the bracket - you just quoted that yourself and still completely missed what that means 😂
Nowhere there does anybody speak of distribution taking precedence over other operations
BRACKETS has precedence over everything 😂 So here we have an example of you reading it wrong
nowhere in all sources I can find does it say so
And can you find any source which says Multiplication takes precedence over Brackets? No. Another example of you reading it wrong
Wonder why all screenshots you post use convoluted wording
They don’t use “convoluted wording”! 🤣
“the contents OF THE BRACKETS should be multiplied”
“everything IN THE BRACKET should be multiplied by that number”
Yet another example of you reading it wrong 😂
wonder why you pop up everywhere arguing the same thing and keep getting downvoted?
The only person downvoting me is the person replying, whereas the others are getting downvoted by others as well 🙄
At some point you need to understand that if one old-ass calculator
My brand new calculator gives the same answer! 😂 They all do now, except for Texas Instruments - the only one stubbornly still doing it wrongly
selective reading of cherry picked passages
Sure, I’m “cherry picking” the sections of textbooks about Distribution. Do you want me to post something random about a different topic? 😂 BTW, noted that you haven’t come up with any textbooks that agree with you
all the proof you have
And it is indeed proof.
when all modern calculators
Agree with me (except for Texas Instruments)
algebra solvers
Written by programmers who have forgotten the rules of Maths, and as pointed out by many people in forums.
maybe it’s time to reconsider
And yet, here you are not reconsidering 🙄
Juxtaposition taking precedence over other multiplications I can understand
Because BRACKETS - ab=(axb) BY DEFINITION 😂
it’s an arguable point
And is also the exact same rule 🙄
Distribution being a mandatory step
There’s a reason it’s called The Distributive Law
taking precedence over even exponents is just silly
BRACKETS taking precedence over Exponents is “silly”?? 🤣🤣🤣
and unfortunately wrong
BRACKETS taking precedence over Exponents is “unfortunately wrong”?? 🤣🤣🤣
What I say to that is I’ve met plenty of teachers who are wrong about things in their own fields,
You think they’re wrong you mean, person who is saying Brackets before Exponents is “wrong” 🤣🤣🤣
people defining the rules of all those algebra solvers aren’t the programmers,
Yes they are! That’s why they give wrong answers 😂 I told one he was wrong and he went and fixed it, being the one who had programmed it that way 🙄
as you’d know if you looked a bit into product development.
I know they are because I have spoken directly to them 😂 Maybe try asking some yourself, before making completely wrong statements
It’s domain experts
No it isn’t, as proven by personal experience. You know who uses domain experts? calculator manufacturers. 😂 They have considerably more riding on it being right or not.
who also define tests and receive feedback on the software’s performance and errors
You know there’s a whole bunch of programmers who don’t bother even defining tests to begin with, right??
I’m sure (lol) you’ve sent feedback to them
Yep!
they probably looked at it and decided you’re wrong
Except for the ones who did change it. The ones who claimed I was wrong, quoted Google - who have also been told they’re wrong by many people -and not Maths textbooks 🙄
As well all have.
says person who did nothing of the sort, and lied about such things as "all modern calculators " being against me (they aren’t, if you had actually tried some), Exponents having precedence over Brackets, etc.
