Guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 No, this would not actually work. It would translate to five times the square root of nine. Since the square root of nine is three, the value would then be fifteen, which is not less than nine. what if u wrote it this way: 5[[9]] [9]=square root of nine [[9]]=fourth root of nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 how about 5/9 division that gets you 5.5556 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie1ja Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 how about 5/9 division that gets you 5.5556 5/9=0.55.. which is not between 5 and 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Aren't digits just mathematical symbols that represent their corresponding numbers? So wouldn't the digits 6, 7, and 8 also be viable answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Clever. I initially thought of this 5 > 9, but there's not really a number there. 5 > x > 9 would be more appropriate I guess. me too. man i thought i had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 5.9 has a different meaning in some countries = 59 5,9 = five and nine tenths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 i had tho think about this one for a little but u put a decimal poin there 5.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well, I tried the square-root operator, and it yielded an answer that was too big. So I figured, how about the third-root (Cube-root)? Still too big. So the fourth-root works, though. So putting the operator between the numbers would imply a multiplication operation, a two-in-one deal. The fourth-root of nine is approx. 1.372. Multiply that by five to get approx. 8.660, which is greater than five, and less than nine. I agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 You could also put a square root sign between them No, because putting a square root between them would mean: 5 "times" the square root of nine, or 5x3, which is 15. and 15 is not smaller than nine...but it was a nice try! mikedotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I agree with you great thinking! that means there is an infinite solution set: 5 nth root 9, where n>3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 You could also put a square root sign between them sorry, (5) squrt(9) (5) (3) 15 15 > 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 a . making it 5.9 i think this is wrong though <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 One could also insert an arctan between the 5 and 9. This would give you 5*arctan(9) = 5*(1.46) = 7.3 which is between 5 and 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 . That means 5.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Here's another solution- not really a symbol persay but a keystroke on a calculator: 5arctan(9) where 9 is in radians equals 7.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
