Re: Geometric Series
Hi;
1) As Elizabeth Stapel states, hyperbolas ( hyperboli ? ) are not often seen in problems. She is correct, this was my first time working on one of them.
hyperbolae ?

Re: Geometric Series
Hi;
Either hyperbolas or hyperbolae is correct.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Geometric Series
We follow Queen's English. In my school and college days "formulas" was wrong. Only "formulae" was correct.

Re: Geometric Series
I probably felt that way when I was your age but I can not remember.

Re: Geometric Series
Hi bobbym,
You refer to my age when I was in school or when you will attain my current age.

Re: Geometric Series
A baby is a baby. Compared to me you are still a young man being a whopping 24 years younger than I am.

Re: Geometric Series
4! is whopping and so is the largest number of Knights you can place on a chessboard such that none of them can capture any other using the standard chess Knight's moves. It takes exactly 24 knights.

I doubt the veracity of this statement..

May bobbym have a wonderful time in the pearly gates of heaven.
He will be sorely missed.

Re: Geometric Series
I doubt the veracity of this statement..
And why is that?
When I explained to the young anonimmystefy that I was younger than he was, that I was nine, he seemed unable to believe that. Of course that was many years ago and I would now be the same age as Mathegocart if that were true. So which is it? First, let me say that there are no records of my birth anywhere on this planet. My exact age, was known only to pappym and he is long since gone. mammym believed me to be a year or two older than what I think I am.
Here is a more colorful story of my early years:
