Hello, If someone takes two segments, one longer than the other, it is naturally assumed that the longer one is most definitely longer than the other. However, if the longer segment is put at an angle with the other to make a triangle, suddenly someone can draw a one to one correspondence...

If I have n dots, how many configurations exist for lines that connect them, including no connections? For example, if I have 0, or 1 dots I believe this should be 0 since no connections are possible (or perhaps I should consider the single dot as having a single connection to itself?) If I...

The curve y=x^4-2x^3-2x^2-2x has a bitangent. I need to find the equation of this line. First, I started off by computing the slope. Since it touches two points on the curve, their slopes should be the same. So, I have the equation 4x^3_1-6x^2_1-4x_1-2=4x^3_2-6x^2_2-4x_2-2 I got up to the point...
