Answer:
On the surface, it seems easy. Can you think of the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=8? Sure. One answer is x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. But what about the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=42?
That turned out to be much harder—as in, no one was able to solve for those integers for 65 years until a supercomputer finally came up with the solution to 42. (For the record: x = -80538738812075974, y = 80435758145817515, and z = 12602123297335631. Obviously.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
24 - 24 = 0 (carols age past tense)
24 x 4 = 96
96 - 24 = 72 (present tense)
carol is now 72 yr
We use the fact that x2+y2=1 This is the equation of the unit circle.
We know that x=-4/5, so plug this in and solve for y
x2+y2=1 <span>(−4/5)^2+y2=1</span> 16/25+y2=1 y2=1−16/25 y2=9/25 <span>y=−square root of 9/ 25</span>
y = -3/5
OK so where is the weekly math homework!?
