S7.231 - Trailing Off


<<FIRST <LAST WK INDEX NEXT WK> END>>

CUBI: We're both lucky. Our roots use standard mathematical notations. Quinn? Well...
QUINN: Yeah, I need decimals, going on forever... Q-bars. Quintics have no formula! We should fight something else!
PARA: Wait, what if I move to where my vertex aligns with Quinn's inexpressible root? What's my equation then?
CUBI & QUINN: Don't break mathematics!!
PARA: S-Sorry.

S7.230 - Topic: Expansion


<<FIRST <LAST WK INDEX NEXT WK> END>>

PARA: Cubi, can you talk sense into Lyn? She wants to fight decimals.
CUBI: Base Ten IS taking over the Earth. Metric has made it worse. Maybe Lyn’s feeling that more?
CUBI: I wouldn’t worry though. Every function has certain 'trigger' topics.
PARA: Meaning what?
CUBI: Expand (x+1)^2 ...
PARA: OMG! There's a "2X" in there! It’s NOT THAT HARD!!
(Someone thinks about algebra tiles)
