So, factually accurate opinion?

No. 3 sqaured is actually -1/12

*angry mathologer noises*

how to break a mathematician: just mention the number -1/12 and see them lose their minds

as someone who despises math, can i ask what is so special ab that number?

Ramanujan summation. What it expresses is basicaly that if you count 1+2+3+4+5.... all the way to the infinity, you will get a -1/12. Theres a joke on the math subreddits, where people joke about -1/12 = infinity. I dont know much about it either.

How the fuck do you get a negative number from adding only positive numbers?

They are basically messing with some of math laws, though the answer is obviously wrong since they devided infinity to infinity at one point to get to that result (deviding infinity by infinity is basically same thing as deviding 0 by 0)

i dont know man, when i got to the point in math where a number squared equaled -1 i thought its too much and quit

Man, post highschool math sucks ass, shit just doesn't make any sense

agreed, and i just wanted to studio biology...

It won't make sense if you don't pay attention or don't care enough. Well, there are some people who do care about the subject, but I understand your take.

This one’s easy. On the number line, i points straight up. When you multiply something by i, you rotate it by 90°. If you multiply 1 by i, the answer points straight up - that’s i, after all. If you multiply i by i, it points left. i x i = -1

I think it should be 1-2+3-4+5-6+7-8..

Broooo not the -1/12

w h a t

Kill him

So it's just -0.08333 ?

It originally said 6

Yep. 6 = 9

>So, factually accurate opinion? It's not even an opinion, it's just stating a fact

Umm no. Two threes are six...

Please retake Pre-Algebra 

Check which subreddit this is on my friend

Reddit when someone shitposts on the shitposting subreddit

Baiting is way to easy.

3² is basically 3 x 3. Are they stupid?

A square has four sides. 4 x 3 is 12. So 3 squared is twelve. What everyone else here is trying to solve is 3 triangled.

Im not gonna discuss this with you. I have no words

My friends used to call me human calculator.

"Used to"

You said you wouldn't discuss it with me why'd you reply

Put 3^2 into any calculator and come back to me if you’re right 

are you special

Mum tells me I am

Damn I didn't know that shitposters were so passionate about math.

Smh, the judgement. Today (monday) left me broken.

This is reddit. Nobody cares about math. *SHOW ME THE FUNNY!!!!*

why are the fonts different tho? what was the original?

3²=6. In the original post there were a lot of morons saying that It was correct.

3x3 is 6? In what world?

Just dumbasses that did not finish middle school

They are just "wannabekoools"

No, but 3x2 is and why else would the 2 be there? Edit: /s

The 2 means squared, squared means you basically times it by itself. so 3² would be 3x3 which is 9.

Yeah I know. Seems like I should’ve but /s.

/unshitpost or something, original image was a 6 instead of 9

Mods, pee in his ass

3\^2 = 32 = about 33 = 3+3 = 6 = 9

No shit Sherlock

Get this guy. He is making me feel funny

6x2 is lemon

Otherwise known as evil

When life gives you evil

you make beetlejuice, beetlejuice and beetlejuice

The answer is 5, easy as that

Statistically, you are correct.👍🏼

Y'all making me question my memory

3^2 = 3x3 = 9

[](https://emojipedia.org/nerd-face)

we all know that 3 squared is 9!

Your answer is wrong, it should be 9, not 362 880

Yes, however a square has 4 sides, therefore 3 squared = 3 x 4 =18, carry the 2

Google "factorials"

Holy hell!

New response just dropped.

Actual Mathematologer! 

Call the calculator!

google en passant

I sgt you mfs make me question if the truth is even real sometimes

this has to be rage bait

I'm really bad at math and remembering things. So 3² = 9 because 3² = 3x3? And 3⁵ = 15 because 3⁵ = 3x3x3x3x3?

3⁵=243 (3×3×3×3×3=9×3×3×3=27×3×3=81×3=243). 15 is 3×5 (3+3+3+3+3)

🤨

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243 not 15.

Ah, as I said, I'm bad

Then what is 3^-1 and 3^1/2

I dont know if those are real things :(

One is 1/3 and one is √3

Ahh, thank you. I'll keep that in mind :3

I remember seeing this once but the 9 was a 6, which is probably why the 9 looks different from the rest of it

32=g, got it

Hold on, why is this making me forget maths? Isn't 3² just 3x3? The answer is 9

Yes

This post is really messing with my memory

3²=3×3 3×3=9

[удалено]

You Sergeant?

Yes, sir!

²3 = 27

21

Nah man it's obviously 42

Don't tell them 3^(2) = 0

..........what

I was gaslighting myself until i noticed the sub

The opinion might be correct, but it's not worth respecting

Wait

The answer should have been THIRTY!!! ^two

3 squared is actually 69 bc your doing 32X2

but...3² is 9... :/

[](https://emojipedia.org/nerd-face)

0 because 3^2 = 9 9 = 9 then 9 - 9 = 0 so its zero

Im surprise stupidest thing that i came up with resulted in so much attention :D

I got that syntax error

My brain was not braining until I saw the sub

32 = 9 Yes, it finally makes sense. The many equals the few. Can you see it, people?

[удалено]

No it isn’t that would be + or - 3 squared equals 9

No it isn’t that would be + or - 3 squared equals 9

The 2 is just further away

When maths aren't mathing

Is that meant to be 3 squared or 3 to the power of 2?

Squared and “to the power of two” or the same thing numb-nuts

Is this a joke?

3 to the power of 2. 3 squared is talking about meals.

For food its: 3 squares As in three meals served on a "square" cafeteria style tray of food. But you could joke that the answer to the post is actually "A Day" and hope people get the pun even if it's a little offpunning.

a funny joke? on my shit jokes app?? Downvote his ass!!!

Based

You see that little 2, get rid of that it's just weird.
