I would be shocked if GPT4 could reliably solve novel quadratic equations when it struggles with simple arithmetic.
- flangola7 3y agoWhy would you be shocked? GPT-4 scores in the 89th percentile on SAT Math.
- earthboundkid 3y agoBecause SAT math is all multiple choice, which can be reverse engineered. Ask it to multiply numbers too large to be in the memorization set.
- earthboundkid 3y agoI don't pay for GPT4, but here's Claude falling on its face: Q: Provide the quadratic roots of the following equation. Work out the answer step by step. 21 - 135 x + 19 x^2 = 0 A: Okay, here are the step-by-step workings: 1) Start with the quadratic equation: 21 - 135x + 19x^2 = 0 2) Group the x^2 and x terms together: 19x^2 - 135x + 21 = 0 3) Use the quadratic formula to find the roots: x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a Where: a = 19 b = -135 c = 21 4) Substitute the values into the formula: x = (-(-135) ± sqrt((-135)^2 - 4(19)(21))) / 2(19) 5) Simplify: x = (135 ± sqrt(18225 - 1596)) / 38 6) Evaluate the square root: x = (135 ± 135) / 38 7) The two roots are: x = 5 x = 3 Therefore, the roots of the quadratic equation 21 - 135x + 19x^2 = 0 are x = 5 and x = 3.
