School batch program.(math)

[BC_Programmer]

I on the other hand am not wasting my time downloading an EXE and grabbing the batch code in 5 minutes when it could simply be given here.

We dont even know if its supposed to do what you say its supposed to do, since for one thing it could be a virus(not that we don't trust you its that your kinda stalling about the source code which seems suspicious)

[Xenfire]

Agreed.
We can't help you here unless you post the source code.
How else are we supposed to help you our if we can't see if you have any problems?
Plus you only have 2 posts, so you aren't trusted much.

[Helpmeh]

I trust this person less than anyone on /b/.

[Xenfire]

i trust /b/ with my life
Like that time they told me to delete system32

I was told that I should type FORMAT C: on the command prompt once...

The original poet was about  solving a math problem using a computer.

This sort of thing is sometimes called Algebra Solution Software.
Did the professor want him to write the program or to find one already written? There are lots ready to use programs. Some with tutorial ans graphics to help teach. Some free. Many not.

Google Algebra Solution

well... i have absolutely NO IDEA how to make one autorun so...yeah..... i couldn't do that even if i wanted to.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

We didn't say anything about an autorun......

Solving an algebra problem is often in two areas:
1. Some variation of one or more a linear equations.
2. Solving a quadratic equation, which boils down to factoring.

The linear equations are rather straight forward.
The other kind is piratically guessing at the answer.

The are computer programs that do both.
Some are free. Many are sold or rented as "Homework Cheats".

Some of the great mathematicians felt that building a machine to solve huge t problems was a worthy goal of their study. Does your professor agree with that?

for some reason I'm suddenly reminded of the quadratic formula,

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

which can be factored with:

(-B+-SQR(B^2-4*A*C)/(2*A)

which can return both X intercepts of a parabola if they exist.

for some reason I'm suddenly reminded of the quadratic formula..

It's all coming back to be now...

He may be saying a completely different problem he wants to solve that may be irrelevant to Algebra.

We talked about it then she said she needed a program that actually figures out the solution to an equation, for example,
10x+10=10+10.

This is what he first posted. It was to solve an equation where some values are know, but one item remains unknown.
x= (10+10) /(10+10)      is a match problem. Only one X by itself.
10x+10=10+10               is an algebra problem. X is not by itself.
x = (10+10)/10x+10)      is an algebra problem. More than one X
