ROFLMAO

[Locke]

No one's perfect....

[Anoxanmore]

No there are twenty-seven.

[aemonkristen]

28 in the Spanish alphabet.

[Locke]

X/X*17. ;D

 

[Anoxanmore]

Thirty two!

[Nynaeve]

O_o

x⁵+5x⁴+10x³+10x²+5x+1=____________

 

Anyone know?

[aemonkristen]

I know that I would need a calculator and three more years of math classes to UNDERSTAND the equation. Does that count?

[Locke]

I had to edit it, because I accidentally put an equals sign instead of a + sign.

 

Actually, I'm not sure how anyone could solve that. :D

 

How about X²+2x+1?

[aemonkristen]

That's still beyond my capabilities. I should rally study more math. It's just so boring though.

[Locke]

Like I said, I have no idea how to solve it backwards.

 

But the long complicated one is (x+1)⁵ and the other one is (x+1)²

 

I've been doing a LOT of math lately. :D

[Anoxanmore]

You do too much math.

[aemonkristen]

Just looking at it makes my head hurt.  :-\

[Locke]

Just looking at it makes my head smile ;D

 

I have like 5 sheets of paper covered front and back with math.

[aemonkristen]

Do you plan on being a mathematician someday?

[Locke]

Probably.

[aemonkristen]

How does that pay?  ::)

[Locke]

Pretty well.

[Anoxanmore]

It depends on what specialization of field he gets into tbh.

[Al Jenn Mael]

DON'T DO IT LOCKE! It all becomes boring theory, approximations, and what ifs.... *Shivers*

 

Ok, now that that is out of the way. There is a way to solve it Locke, it is called Polynomial long division. You have to guess at the roots. The ones you provided were perfect polynomials... They only had one root.

 

Check out this link, although I don't think it goes into polynomial division it will help if you're curious on how to solve complex polynomials. I think you'll grasp all of it quickly.

*shrugs*

 

Is that factoring?  Like for when it equals 0?
