Answer

PAIGE FOX IS BAD AT MATH

Work Step by Step

To find the message, we must find the values of the alphabet letters while using the key. A= $\sqrt {121}$=11 B=$2^{3}$=2·2·2=8 C=sin $\frac{\pi}{2}$=1 D=$\frac{51}{3}$=17 E=$\sqrt[3] 1000$=10 F=$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}(16)))$=$ \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}·8)$=$\frac{1}{2}$·4=2 G=$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{5}{3}+\frac{5}{3}$=$\frac{15}{3}$=5 H=4205-4186=19 I=$\sqrt 13·\sqrt 13$=13 J=$\frac{14}{5}·\frac{10}{4}$=7 K=|-26|=26 L=(9x+9x)/3x=6 M=(9·11)-(7·11)=2·11=22 N=$\sqrt {400}$=20 O=1+2+3+4+5=15 P=$4^{\sqrt 4}$=$4^{2}$=16 Q=$∫^{2}$$9x^2$dx=${9x^3}/3$=24 R=${4\pi+5\pi}/\pi$=9 S=(5·2·2)+3=23 T=$\sqrt {144}$=12 U-3cos$\pi$=3 V=$5^{4}$/$5^{2}$=25 W=$2^{5-3}$=$2^2$=4 X=9216/512=18 Y=$\sqrt 49·\sqrt 9$=7·3=21 Z=$({14·14·14})/({14·14})$=14 Now decipher the coded message using the correlating letters. 16=P 11=A 13=I 5=G 10=E 2=F 15=O 18+X 13=I 23=S 8=B 11=A 17=D 11=A 12=T 22=M 11=A 12=T 19=H The message is: PAIGE FOX IS BAD AT MATH.
