Homework question:
Expand $(a+b)^n$
( a +
...b)^n
( a +

b)^n

...
( a +

b)^n

I tried to Tex the joke but it shrinks the spaces. Supposedly the parenthesis just gets wider and a, b get farther appart.

$$(a+b)^n$$
$$(a \quad + \quad b)^n$$
$$(a \quad \quad + \quad \quad b)^n$$

You can use "\," "\;" "\quad" to get spaces of different sizes.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids:
Homework question:Expand (a+b)^n a+b)^na+b)^n...(a+b)^nI tried to Tex the joke but it shrinks the spaces.

$$(a+b)^n$$
$$(a \quad + \quad b)^n$$
$$(a \quad \quad + \quad \quad b)^n$$

You can use "\," "\;" "\quad" to get spaces of different sizes.

Thank $$"\quad"$$ you. I guess the joke is ruined.

Expand (a+b)ⁿ

I'll see your expand and raise:

Q: How do you get a solution of a quadratic equation?

A: Pour acid over it.

 

[fresh_42]

Q: How do you get a solution of a quadratic equation?

A: Pour acid over it.

... and they said quintics weren't solvable ...

 

[mfb]

If the problem looks unsolvable then your base is not strong enough.

A: Pour acid over it.

Are quadratrics basic enough for that?

And my 1st world gripe: ATM, not ATM machine.

And never give anyone the PIN number for your ATM machine card.

 

[WWGD]

And never give anyone the PIN number for your ATM machine card.

Yes, I remember feeling attracted to this woman working in a bank when she made reference in our conversation to the PIN -- not PIN number.

 

[GiriBang]

What's the name of Max Planck's son?

 

[Vanadium 50]

And never give anyone the PIN number for your ATM machine card.

Does the ATM machine use an LCD display? Or does it use LED diodes? Are the instructions available in PDF format? If you have to buy one, does it have a UPC code? Or just an ISBN number?

Oh, and please RSVP.

 

[fresh_42]

What's the name of Max Planck's son?

Karl and Erwin.

 

[fresh_42]

Oh, and please RSVP.

P stands for plaisir, not please.

 

[GiriBang]

What's the name of Max Planck's son?

Karl and Erwin.

Wrong! It's Quantum Physics!

 

[WWGD]

P stands for plaisir, not please.

SVP= S'Il Vous Plait.

 

[fresh_42]

SVP= S'Il Vous Plait.

And plait comes from plaisir. "If it pleases you." What a pity that English degenerated it from "if it pleases you" to "please". In any case, "il plait" isn't please, although they once might have been of the same origin.

But "s'il vous plaît" means please, RSVP is literally "answer, please."

 

[fresh_42]

If it pleases you and please have two different meanings. Apart from that it is a different language.

 

[DrClaude]

My point is that no francophone reads "s'il vous plaît" as the literal combination "if it pleases you," but as please.

 

[WWGD]

That's why bakeries don't make more money when making profit-erols, Fresh. Maybe not the best analogy but It doesn't break down that way. But now I'm hungry.

That's futile, it will just evolve into science jokes.

Yes, but they'll be in French, so ... eh.
