[Coco] E-mail Netiquette: How to Start a New Thread

[camillus1]

My $0.02....

2Q^2 is not the same as 4Q

4Q = 4 x Q

2Q^2 = 2Q x 2Q

If Q would be 2 then   4Q = 4 x 2 = 8
                                2Q^2 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) = 4 x 4 = 16

2Q + 2Q                             = 4Q

Or am I seeing this wrong???

The correct answer, of course, said with some degree of vehemence, is "4Q"

Uncle Bill did so love his math giggles.

Today's average American math student would say "2Q^2?"
