First time shitposting kinda nervous 
I’m typing this in school i’m such a bad man
Anyway my teacher might actually be blind
What is 625^1/2?
I can hear two people arguing and it’s very funny
One of them is pretending to have a really strong yorkshire accent that he doesn’t normally have
He keeps saying rayt
Ooohhh he said “you wouldnt know sarcasm if it slapped you in the face”
What a cold line
Anyway I’m gonna go now byee
The guy is losing the arguement
I don’t know what they’re arguing about but he’s acting really weird
Ok they stopped arguing now
I gotta keep pretending to do my work (I already finished it)
My teacher lets us go on our phone to use the calculator
She hasn’t moved from this one kid for like 5 minutes
Oh I gotta mark my work now byee
Some guy nearly got C4 ed (detention) for chewing gum but he managed to talk it down to a c3 (negative behaviour point or whatever)
is that even shitpost it just looks like a journal
Who knows anymore
erm 
625^1 is akkkstually 625 and if you divide it by two it’s 312.5
unless it’s 625 ^1/2 then i’d have to do it properly… anwyya
I think it’s to the power of 1/2, in which case the answer would be 25.
the way it’s written though is (625^1)/2, the parentheses would have to be around the 1/2 for it to equal 25
What if sock was called mathglove and they solved equations
Where is it written like that? There are no parentheses in the original post
order of operations says so, the 625 is to the power of 1 first before anything is divided by 2, i just added parentheses to show it clearer
Depends how it’s meant to be written. From just this, because the forums lacks proper formatting for things like this, you can’t really tell if the 2 is supposed to be in the exponent or not.
you can always format properly using parentheses, the way jb1 wrote it excludes the 2 from the exponent. to include it, you would write 625^(1/2)
That’s how it’s written, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it’s meant. I have plenty of math classmates who never clear this kind of thing up, and most of the time the parentheses are what gets forgotten, so I get easily annoyed about this kind of thing
pay attention to your class 
i agree they probably meant to type 625 to the power of one half, but syntax is very important and a minor error like this completely changes the meaning of the expression, it’s the reason some people can still get a wrong answer even when using a calculator
(625)^1/2 is the square root of 625, which means it is 25.
