Hello everyone,

 

I have been getting requests to start writing a wrap again.  Thanks to those people.    smiley

I used to write these daily but the forum was much smaller then and I had more time to devote to it.

I cannot revisit this idea, sorry.

BUT

I have been collecting some interesting questions and answers this past week or so and I would like to present them.

I have not seen all, or even most, of the questions and answers so I am sure there are some really good ones which are not included.  Sorry about that   sad

Please if you would like me to present your or someone else's next time you NEED to send me the address by private mail. (or if you are a guest maybe your can atract my attention in a more imaginative way)   

I would really appreciate any suggestions, as it is an indication that you are really interested in twhat I present and I want the writers of great answers to get the recognition that they deserve.   :))  

I do not want all the answers to be by recognised mathematicians.  Other people write great answers too :)

 

Anyway - here are some that I have collected, I hope that some enjoyment is gleaned from them   :)

For Guest's question. It took 3 hours but i had nothing else to do so yeah whatever. Probably wronglaugh

 

18072.3 + 18997.6/(x + 1) + 18819.8/(x + 1)^2 + 18638.5/(x + 1)^3 + 18453.5/(x + 1)^4 + 18264.8/(x + 1)^5

 

Answer: x = -2.01045

x = -1.51032 - 0.865886 i

x = -1.51032 + 0.865886 i

x = -0.510056 - 0.866066 i

x = -0.510056 + 0.866066 i
