All you math nerds!! i need precal helpp!?

Question

okay for our homework tonight we have to use 5 "2's" to come up with an answer of 1-25. you can use exponents, division, etc.

so you can only use 5.

heres some examples;

1. 2-2+2- (2/2) =1

2. 2+2-2+2-2=2

3. 2+2-2+(2/2) =3

so i need them all the way up to 25.

and you can use "22" if you need it!

Answer 1

1. 2-2+2- (2/2) =1

2. 2+2-2+2-2=2

3. 2+2-2+(2/2) =3

4. 2*2*2-2-2=4

5. 2+2+2-2/2=5

6. 2+2+2+2-2=6

7. 2*2*2+2/2=7

8. 2*2*2*2/2=8

9. 2*2*2+2-2/2=9

10.2+2+2+2+2=10

Answer 2

Ask a teacher!

Answer 3

why do work in the summer?

Answer 4

Well youll have to think a bit about it, but I think there is probly some type of pattern in it that would be helpful to find.

Anyways,

4. 2^2 + 2 - 2

5. 2 + 2 + 2 - (2/2)

6. 2^2 + 2^2 - 2

etc

Once you get close to 11 you can start using 22/2, but that wastes 3 2's so you won't be able to use it for long. Around 16 you can use 2^2^2, which also uses up 3. Then you could start doing 22 - 2 - 2... once you get high enough...
