ALONS-Y!

well, Today's been...interresting... To say the least.

So, Math. Yes. Math.

Dimension-Traveler slips flawlessly into a british accent

They are SO tricky. Yes, yes they are. Want to know what they did? Okay!

So, we have these formulaes, or whatever they're called, Like "Four times X Squared Plus Two AX Plus Four times A squared." Right? Simple answer would be Two times X Plus Two times A Times Two Times X Plus Two Times A! Ah! But see, they went and did something TRICKY! They Took this problem, Layed it out like So:

4X^2 + 2AX + 4A^2 [_____

____________


See? Now, How am I supposed to work that Out? They give NO explanation! Now, what they did was TRICKY! They took "X" and put it like s0:


4X^2 + 2AX + 4A^2 [2x____
4X^2
____________
____ 2AX + 4A^2


So, How did they get that? More importantly, how do they SOLVE The bloody thing?! Well, They Take the 2X, and put it outside the problem, and multiply by 2! THEN We add 2A to the problem THEN Add it to the 4X THEN Multiply by 2A! So we now have:


4X^2 + 2AX + 4A^2 [2x + 2a
4X^2
____________
4X ____ 2AX + 4A^2
4X+2a__ 2AX +4A^2
________________


So that's How they did it! Devious, aren't they!? And this was ALL A sample problem off the top of my head! They had problems up to FIVE sections! AND Out of ORDER!

Dimension-Traveler Starts talking normal again

So, Anyone get that?
