My dad offered me $5 to solve this easy question

<p>I cant seem to solve it. It seems like easy algebra. PLEASE HELP!!</p>

<p>Use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to equal up to 600.</p>

<p>The rules -</p>

<p>You cant use all (see below) mathematical operation
You may NOT put numbers together (so, you can't use 4 and 5 to make 45 or 54, etc etc)
You must use ALL numbers
You must not use any number twice
If you use an exponent, to square it, or cube it, or whatever, it must be eliminated from the 1-5. For example, if you do 5 squared, you've used 5 and 2, so can't anymore.
You cannot use factorials</p>

<p>The operations you can use are -</p>

<p>Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Square Root, Exponenents (the exponent used must be derived from one of the numbers from 1-5).</p>

2

<p>bump any help</p>

3

<p>5,4,3,2,1</p>

<p>5*2=10
4+3-1=6</p>

<p>10sqrrt(6) is the square of 600… maybe that will help</p>

4

<p>Im pretty sure this not a SAT question lol</p>

5

<p>thats tough</p>

6

<p>Codygman did the work, now you’ve just got to put it together. (5<em>2)</em>(4+3-1)=600! Unless you can only use the operations once. Otherwise, you’re in the money!</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s 60, not 600.</p>

8

<p>Lol 60… here give me some time to think…</p>

9

<p>(5 squared) x (4 +3 + 1) =600. OOPs. Nevermind.</p>

10

<p>no, ^^^ = 400</p>

11

<p>5 x (4+2-1)^3=600</p>

12

<p>Assuming ‘any mathematical operation’ includes factorials:</p>

<p>(4/2) + 1 + 3 = 6</p>

<p>6! = 720
5! = 120</p>

<p>So ( (4/2) + 1 + 3 )! - 5! = 720 - 120 = 600</p>

13

<p>“You cannot use factorials”</p>

<p>plus just realized mine was wrong</p>

14

<p>You can’t do math tmos…lol it’s 625.</p>

<p>The RIGHT answer is…umm…</p>

15

<p>1+2+3+4+5 = 15</p>

<p>Oh wait you wanted 600? not 15? Um…</p>

16

<p>5^(sqrt(3))^2 * 4 * 1 = 600</p>

<p>This is assuming that square rooting does not use any of the numbers.</p>

17

<p>thats 500…?
If we can round… (5+2)^4/(3+1) = 600.25</p>

18

<p>5^4-3<em>2</em>1=619 closest i can get</p>

19

<p>Ahhh crap. I knew something was wrong with mine. I guess it wasn’t as easy as it looked…</p>

20

<p>I think the answer is </p>

<p>(5^2)<em>4</em>3<em>2</em>1
25<em>4</em>3<em>2</em>1
100<em>3</em>2<em>1
300</em>2*1
600!!!</p>
