Something controversial or provocative about this subject Someone once said that 728=9^3-1^1. I said, yes, but did you know that it is also 12^3-10^3? Maybe that's provocative...

What do you like about this subject? I do it all the time.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: 153 is the sum of 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3; 407=4^3 + 0^3 + 7^3 12 base 3 = 5 and 1^2 + 2^2 = 5.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? More about powers of numbers and different bases. For example, 8 is 22 in base 3. 2^2 + 2^2 = 9. Did you know that 728=12^3-10^3=9^3-1^3; it's the lowest number with this property.

2008-09-03 algebra: Since 5% is 1.5% less than 6.5% and 6.75% is .25% higher than 6.5%, inspection tells us that 1.5% is 6 times as much as .25%. From this we can conclude that 6/7 of the money should go in the 6.75 and...

2008-09-03 gradient: When an equation is in the form y=mx+b, it passes through b on the y axis and has slope m. a. We have b=-3, m=2, since the equation is in standard form already. b. Divide the equation by 4, giving...

2008-09-03 Math Problem: Take the equation y-5=(1/5)(x+3) and multiply out the parenthesis giving y-5=x/5+3/5. Add 5 and subtract x/5 on both sides, giving y-x/5 = 5+3/5, which converts to y-x/5 = 28/5 (since 5=25/5)....

2008-09-03 limits: I would take the equation ((1/(x+4))-(1/4))/x and simplify it. Multiply the 1/(x+4) times 4/4. Multiply 1/4 by (x+4)/(x+4). What is gotten is [4/{4(x+4)} - (x+4)/{4(x+4)}]/(x/1). Note that {} and...

2008-09-03 linear equations w multiple variables: This is a linear programming problem with the top row as a+b+c. It would be written as such with an articficial variable added to each equation. You would have maximize a+b+c subject to 7a-6b-5c+d=0...
