If we take x as the game's price, the we get the equation:
x =.5x + 1
Subtract .5x from both sides and get:
.5x = 1
Multiply each side by 2 and get:
x = 2

>>672943206
If the game were to cost 1.5, it would actually cost 1.75. Based on the word problem

y = 2 (swap sides to make it pretty)

This. We don't know what the selling price is, so we can't calculate the cost
$2.25
>>672944000
This is a simple math problem.
We don't know what the price of the game is, so let's represent it with a variable 'x'.
>A game costs $1 plus half it's price
So, in mathspeak, it would be
x = $1 + x/2
We just isolate the variables to get:
x - x/2 = $1
x/2 = $1
Clearly, x = $2
Let's check that by replacing x with $2
>$2=$1 + $2/2
It passes. So it was $2 all along.
>>672944655
Ghini became an hero, so obviously the lamb.
$1+1$=2
2÷2=1
1/2×2=1
1+x=2
2-×=1
×=1
1 is half of 2
>>672944033
You mean 1$ + (x/2) = x
Where x = Price of the game
And (x/2) = 1/2 Price of the game

$2.
If a game is $1 plus half of *its (not it is (it's)) price, it means $1 is half of the total price.
But, when the fuck am I going to go into Steam and see Fez listen for "$1 plus half its price"?
Algebraic word problems are a waste of four years of mathematics.
define x as cost of game
x = 1 + x/2
2x = 2 + x
x = 2
According to the way it's written the cost is 1$ plus half of the price.
Price=cost
Cost=1
Half of price/cost is .5
Price/cost =1.50
Converges to 2 by the Geometric Series Test.

You're the fool here. Just because it's dependent on itself doesn't mean it's infinite. Subtracting x/2 on both sides solves the 'infinite' problem entirely.

What are you going on about? anon is trying to find the price of the game, which is x.
The problem says:
x = 1 + x/2
Obviously, we only care about x. So we multiply both sides by two.
2*x = 2 * ( 1 + x/2 )
Or, alternatively, we can subtract x/2 on both sides to get:
x/2 = 1
Both ways, we solve it and get x=2

Your minds are being tricked.
In your head, you think the cost of the game is what determines the cost of the game.
In actuality, in other cases, it's the $1 that determines the cost of the game too.
So imagine if the problem was
>If a game costs $5 plus half it's price, How much does it cost?
The answer is $10
>x = .5x + 5
>x= 10
So in one case the game costs $2 (OP's question), but in my case, the game costs $10
So it's two different prices depending on the constant.
But this statement is true
> x = .5x + Const.
tl;dr
it's a word game meant to trick YOUR logic.
>>672950703
Show me, precisely, what's different about his setup from mine and I'll show you why you're wrong.

American here.
The question basically saying 1 + 1/2
which is equal to 1/1 + 1/2.
Here, we find the lowest common factor, which is 2.
Multiply the denominator and numerator of 1/1 by 2 to make them even fractions (you need even fractions to add)
So then, you get: 2/2 + 1/2.
Add the numerators, then you get 3/2.
3/2 is equal to 1 and 1/2 which is also equal to 1.5.
So the answer is $1.50
Honestly, this was 4th grade math like 9 years ago. Idk what grade they teach this shit now with common core.

no
(cost of game, or 'g') = $1 + 1/2(cost of game)
g = 1 + 1/2g

subtract 1g from both sides
g = 2

Also, realize the price of the game depends on the constant $ amount, not some set in stone answer.
Price of game is x
The game (x) costs "1 dollar plus half it's price", so it costs 1+ x/2
so x = 1 + x/2

<=>x/2 = 1

You lost too many brain cells. There's only one X, and it represents the price of the game.
>>672954423
This is the wrong formula.
It's X=1+.5X
>>672954247
>X1
>X2
There is only ONE book with ONE cost
>>672954423
x=2
How can you all be so bad at basic 2nd highschool year math?
>>672954554
Yeah, I accidentally use div instead of multiplication. I'm just excited for this moron to give me the answer. That was my mistake.
>>672954532
No there isn't. There is an X for price predetermined and an X for determined. That is the logical 'prank' of the math question.
>>672954688
>highschool
>>672954423
please type the correct formula.

I can see the confusion here, this question can be interpreted two ways based on the English language.
(A game costs 1 dollar) (plus half its price) would be
x=one dollar which is the cost of the game+(the one dollar cost of the game*0.5 which would halve that value)
=1+(1*0.5)
=1+0.5
=1.5
$1.5
The second way to interpret this would be-
(A game costs)(one dollar plus half its price)
You may be wondering what the difference is and that is that the game is not given a specific base value, the game is not stated to have a 1 dollar value.
cost of game unknown=one dollar + (cost of the game unknown*0.5 which will halve that value)
x=1+(x*0.5)
This cannot really be simplified
Both of these could be the solution depending on interpretation.
>>672954960
Kind of late on that, moron
>>672954554
>>672954799
>>672954247
No it's not. It's worded to seem like that, but it isn't. The two times the word "cost" or "price" come up don't differ from each other.
You could take it as an infinite equation (e.g. $1 + $.50 = $1.50 + $.75 = $2.25 etc) but since that's not how money works and it makes the whole idea too muddy, it's better to just assume the problem is finite
>>672942135
all you fuckers trolled. cost is cost to manufacture. MSRP could be anything.
>>672954805
Who said the price is changing? The OP clearly said:
x=1+x/2
The price of the game (x) is = $1 plus (+) half of its price (x/2)
Just because x depends on itself doesn't mean its recursive. Just subtract half of its price on both sides. Then, in words, you'll get:
>half of the price of the game is one dollar
Which means that it's two dollars in total price.
>>672954805
>predetermined
>determined
No, the prank is that you think this is some programming function or series of numbers.
1.50$ the only right answer.
>>672955335
>You could take it as an infinite equation (e.g. $1 + $.50 = $1.50 + $.75 = $2.25 etc) but since that's not how money works and it makes the whole idea too muddy, it's better to just assume the problem is finite
It's plus half the price of the game, not half the price of the dollar. See >>672944927
/b/itches the formula is x = y + (y/2) its literally the most simple shit ever its $1.50
>>672947683
An endless loop that leads to 1.9 repeating, so 2 dollars
>>672955412
The price isn't changing the state of it is. That is why it is X1 and X2 and not X and Y. X2 is dependent on X1 having already been solved and X1 is dependent on X2 as it is in its equation.
2.25
>>672951083
Well put. You summarized it better than i could have.
>>672955476
What I mean is the price must be determined ie it costs $5. Not mathematical determination.
>>672955081
>(A game costs 1 dollar) (plus half its price) would be
There is no interpretation because there is no PERIOD after "costs."
If the question was
> A game costs $1. Now add half of that to itself for some reason.
That what would get you $1.50
Fuck this Common Core, how does math make you feel bullshit.
>>672955081
I'm always Happy making 4chan a smarter place.
>>672955335
Nope. They are very different and state dependent. Which is why it is a logic error.
>>672955847
>The price isn't changing the state of it is.
What the fuck are you going on about?
The price of the game is the price of the game. We don't know what it is, so let's use a variable to represent it. Let's call it 'G'
>the game costs $1 + half its price
so G = $1 + G/2
Literally all there is to it. Stop making it more complicated you fool.
>>672955731
I know, that's why I posted >>672953706
I was just saying that even if what he's saying is right, the way I did it is also right and the way I did it is a lot easier and applicable to the universe we live in. So if his is right, mine is still more right
>>672942135
we dont know. you have to know the answer before youre able to solve it. otherwise youre just gonna use variables and all that shit
>>672956347
>$1 + $.50 = $1.50 + $.75
But this is wrong.
$1.50 =/= $2.25
>>672950352
If a company says if you buy super mega deluxe edition (say $100) we will give you its value plus half its price to use towards our next products , they mean $150, not to add those together and get a new value then add those together and get an even higher value
>>672956263
If I told you the volume of a sphere is half its current volume Id be incorrect. Unless something occurs over time or happens to the state of it. A game cannot equal half price of itself plus a constant unless there is a difference in the states.
>>672942135
cost = 60 #assume cost is anything, change this at will
while True:
cost = 1 + (cost / 2)
print(cost)
##You will see it print out 2 for a strong while after a few seconds
>>672956646
Holy shit I know, read the whole post and this >>672956347
Or if that constant is equal to half of the games price. Which is why 2 is the solution. Since C=1. Therefore another formula for the algebraic but incorrect answer is X=2C
cost + 1 + half cost = y
x + 1 + x/2 = y
>>672956135
A sentence does not have to have certain punctuation to interpreted a certain way.
Another example is.
"They fed her dog meat."
This can be interpreted that the girl is being given dog meat to eat.
This can also be interpreted as the girls dog being fed meat of an unknown animal.
Remember people always research before you make a statement.
Happy to help you and your misunderstanding though.
>>672948503
you dont even need that
C is the cost of the game. For this problem, Cost and Price are synonymous.
C=1+0.5*C
C-0.5*C=1
0.5*C=1
C=1/0.5
C=2
>>672956782
>If I told you the volume of a sphere is half its current volume Id be incorrect.
Let's find out, shall we?
Let 'V' represent the volume of the sphere.
V = V/2
This is true for V=0, and V=+-Inf
There are no states here. Only algebra.
Same with the OP.
X=1+X/2
If the game is 2 dollars, it really is one dollar plus half of its price (which is $2). 1+1=2 so it's correct.
>>672942135
1 + half its price
so half its price + half its price
so half its price is 1
so the whole price is 2
no maths needed here, just logic
>>672956263
>What the fuck are you going on about?
I have no idea what this fucker is onto either. He said he was high, so, there's that.
I still think he thinks it's some computer function or something because he thinks there is more than one price/ costs of the the game (X1 and X2)
>>672942835
x = 1 + x / 2
x + 1 = x / 2
assorted mental maths which anyone can do
x = 2
Fucking Faggots
First we find ∫[-∞..∞] e^(-x2) dx
Now since e^(-x2) is an even function, then:
I = ∫[-∞..∞] e^(-x2) dx
I = 2 ∫[0..∞] e^(-x2) dx
I2 = 4 ∫[0..∞] e^(-x2) dx ∫[0..∞] e^(-x2) dx
I2 = 4 ∫[0..∞] e^(-x2) dx ∫[0..∞] e^(-y2) dy
(Note: changing variable in integral will not change value of definite integral)
I2 = 4 ∫[0..∞] ∫[0..∞] e^(-(x2+y2)) dy dx
I2/4 = ∫[0..∞] (∫[0..∞] e^(-(x2+y2)) dy) dx
Let y = xs . . . . . . . . . . when y = 0, s = 0
then dy = x ds . . . . . . . as y → ∞, s → ∞ (since x > 0)
I2/4 = ∫[0..∞] (∫[0..∞] e^(-(x2+x2s2)) x ds) dx
I2/4 = ∫[0..∞] (∫[0..∞] x e^(-x2(1+s2)) dx) ds
I2/4 = ∫[0..∞] (1/(-2(1+s2)) e^(-x2(1+s2))) |[0..∞] ds
I2/4 = ∫[0..∞] (0 - 1/(-2(1+s2))) ds
I2/4 = 1/2 ∫[0..∞] 1/(1+s2) ds
I2/4 = 1/2 arctan(s) |[0..∞] ds
I2/4 = 1/2 (arctan(∞) - arctan(0)) = 1/2 (π/2 - 0)
I2/4 = π/4
I2 = π
I = √π
∫[-∞..∞] e^(-x2) dx = √π
Now we find ∫[-∞..∞] 1/√(2π) e^(-?x2) dx
Let u2 = ?x2
u = x/√2
du = 1/√2 dx
As x → ±∞ then u → ±∞, so limits of integration do not change
∫[-∞..∞] 1/√(2π) e^(-?x2) dx
= 1/√π ∫[-∞..∞] 1/√2 e^(-?x2) dx
= 1/√π ∫[-∞..∞] e^(-u2) du
= 1/√π ∫√π
= √π/√π
= 1<--this many

1. Infinity is a conceptual idea.
2. If the volume is zero there is no sphere. Just like there is no half of zero.
3. I know. >>672957022
>>672944655
Hehe
>>672957498
far to advanced for the average 4chan user.
Nice display of work anyway.
>>672957569
>Just like there is no half of zero.
Half of zero is zero.
Are you seriously telling me that 0*2 =/= 0 ?
The fuck are you smoking? Give me some of that shit.
>>672942959
Not sure if bait or no understanding of possessive apostrophes
>>672957857
Take a class higher than algebra please.
>>672957923
It's is not possessive. Its is. Fucking google it. Or use a dictionary.
>>672950352
How about you pick up an algebra book? By definition, a thing costs its price. Therefore price x = 1 + 0.5x
0.5x = 1
x = 2
>>672957857
Nothing=0
0*1/2=0 OR nothing.
There is no half of zero.
>>672957994
Masters in Maths, PhD less than a year away.
No course you can possibly ever take will teach you that in a vector space half or the zero element is not zero. Try harder.
>>672957994
I'm taking diff eq, enlighten me.
>>672957994
>>672958122
>>672958186
But you are all retarded because it doesn't specify to repeat the process, its a single instance
>>672956730
Everyone saying its 2 are just a bunch of close minded faggots who cant step away and see the bigger logic fault that this problem has
Yes algebraically the answer is 2, but 2 is only one answer. If you actually think about the problem then you will know that the publisher could set the price to anything they would like and it would not violate the rules of the word problem
>>672942135
there is no set answer. its just gonna end with a variable
>>672956782
Your mind is playing tricks on you.
If we use algebra, we can reword it.
>Half of the game's cost is $1.
Since
> x = .5x + 1
> .5x = 1
So, does
>Half of the game's cost is $1.
make sense to you? Because that's mathematically the same as the OP's question.
>>672958196
How are the reimanns sums.
>>672958238
I think you derped your post-references there, chief. Nobody you referenced said anything remotely relevant to your reply.
>>672958281
I don't believe you.
The word problem has a concise algebraic representation. You're just fabricating everything else.
>>672957994
I get it anon. You can't have half of nothing. To have a part, you must have a whole in the first place.
>>672958305
I already know the algebraic solution.
>>672957022
>>672958599
I'm the one who said that.. So.. Thanks?
>>672958540
no, its going to end with a variable, which means the answer can be anything
>>672958359
That's calc 1 material in my university.
I've taken up to calc 3. Imaginary and complex numbers are the shit.

Prove it.
I dare you.

I'd ask for my money back.
>>672949394
That's what thought.
Most of are retarded trash, here is the answer.
>>672958877
Reimanns should crop up in diff eq. Don't know how you're taking a differential equations class without going over calc 1 material.
>>672956782
Unless the constant is equal to half its price, you moron
>>672958969
try taking a math class.
the question is pretty much the answer
>>672957177
You don't understand that cost and price are the same.
The only logic you can make out of the OPs question is
> x = .5x + 1
If you, in fact, think you can take $1 and add half of that to itself; then you think there are two costs/ prices to the game.
