MHB Can Urgent Math Help Be Effective in Just 3 Hours?

AI Thread Summary
Urgent math help in just three hours is generally ineffective, as mathematics requires time for understanding and practice. A user from Greece sought immediate assistance but provided unclear, unreadable photocopies of problems without any work shown. The community expressed skepticism about the urgency, emphasizing that meaningful help cannot be rushed. A more realistic timeframe for grasping complex concepts would be at least three days, yet even that might not guarantee success. Overall, the consensus is that quick fixes are unrealistic in math learning.

No one is going to post all that. Which ones are giving you the most trouble?

Well, the three hours are up but I'm not sure I should feel sad about this. This person posted a large number of problems, showing no work at all. He did not even bother to type the problems in, just making dark, unreadable photocopies.

It clearly wasn't at all important to him so why should we care?

There's a problem in this sentence. You're asking us to "help" and same time you say "asap". Kindly note, mathematics isn't usually something, where you can get help fast, but you would need time to think and understand and do exercises. No one can do all that in "3 hours" nor "asap", 3 days would've been more realistic, and it could still fail because time is too short.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
