only issue I can find with it is that for the answer I got it should really have been written as:

01.(y2-x).(y2-102)10 //the 102 is ten sqared

the last x is redundant unless is is supposed to be used, but then x10 should have been x*10 and then the answer is:

01.876.192000

then of course it could have been meant as "x to the 10th power", but the resulting number would not be viable. and as the writer got the squared portion written correctly, there is no doubt that the "10th" would have been notated correctly if that was the intention...

so in conclution, I direct you to the original answer as the conclusive one...

I love it. I teach Math in a Catholic Middle School. The kids there got me this mug for Christmas one year. I didn't have the heart to tell them I don't drink coffee.

I hope this formats correctly:

Example:

2 raised to the power of:

1 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

1 0

------------------------

2 1 5 2 1 6 3 1 8 4 2 1

0 0 1 5 2 4 2 6

4 2 2 6 8

8 4

------------------------

0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0

0+0+512+256+0+64+32+0+8+4+0+0 = 876

B-)

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Q: Why do Computer Scientists get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

A: Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25.

Ted--you could put tea in the mug...or water or milk.

for a math guy, you ain't too smart. 😉

well, i guess for math, there is only 1 solution...for science there are many possibilities and many sources of error. (yes, i teach high school science--and calculus back in the day).

^ Wouldn't that make the phone number 1-876-800 ?

Also, I just realized I don't know what a Compuer Engineer is... Sounds French, eh?

heheh...
