AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how to type exponents as superscripts in E6S, specifically using the format x[ sup ]2[ /sup ]. Users are seeking a solution to display exponents correctly instead of the standard notation (x^2). The method suggested mimics HTML formatting but uses brackets instead of angle brackets. Participants confirm the effectiveness of this approach while humorously referencing a payment for a hamburger. The conversation highlights a straightforward solution for typing superscripts in E6S.

I'm sure I've seen it...I've searched under "typing exponents" , "how exponents" and "superscript" and can't come up with a thread on getting exponents to show as superscript rather than (x^2).

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Thank you in advance. E6S

try x2
that is x[ sup ]2[ /sup ] without spaces
just like HTML but with [ ] instead of < >
 
x2
did this work?
 
just don't forget the hamburger
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
