Re: 10 second questions
Hi ganesh;
I once asked someone smarter than me when I would stop making mistakes. He said never!
I did not believe him but I was just making another mistake.
Yep, looking at your question again you did say A and B are positive. So you are correct.

Re: 10 second questions
Hi ganesh;
Are you sure that 2443 is 1 / 27 ? Each number in the numerator is 1 / 3 of the one in the denominator.
You get from it

Hi bobbym,
A vinculum is a bar drawn over two or more algebraic terms to indicate that they are to be treated as a single term. It is a horizontal bar placed over two or more terms to show that they are to be treated together, equivalent to enclosing them in a parenthesis.
