Hi bobbym
Yes, that way, the definition encompasses stuff like (k^2+1)x+2.
Who is?
It depends on perspective.
Thanks! See ya. You owe me an explanation for this one, though!
Exploit the problem itself?
I did.
Also, I think I remember something from Wilf's book that can solve this.
It doesn't, but it might be quicker that way.
No, the Fibonacci one.
The first one yes. The second one I did barely, because they set it up the way they did. I did a lot of writing on that one.
No problem!
Looked at your #1 and #3 and they seem correct.
Hi bobbym
You need to find the largest four digit number t such that sqrt(t-sqrt(t-sqrt(t-...))) is an integer.
Yay, constructive crticism!
Hi bobbym
Hi Shivam
True. It's very dependant on the content. And it's a very narrow concept, seeing hiw I haven't noticed it being used anywhere besides in polynomials and binomial expansions.
That's true. There's no exact notation for the Stirling numbers, for example.
The R^whatever does not seem like too much a problem either, considering it's the R that matters.
Well, then you couodn't say 2 is a coefficient when talking about the same expression.
Then I could say that 1 is the coefficient f x^0 in that polynomial.
Hm, then how would you say that 2 is a coefficient when you write 2x+1?
2 can be a coefficient based on the context.
Didn't we already solve that one without plotting?
Hi harrychess
I think it's a bit confusing considering the two are the same. And I'd rather call it a coefficient than not.
