Mong. iTs Alfa romeo. not my Alpha or ur Ulpha or wadeva.

Think of this. U guys take math right. Remember Quadratic equations? and the instances when we have to solve things lyk x^2 - 2x + 17955.

Given such a question:
The sum of 2 consecutive postive odd numbers gives u an answer of 17955. Wad are the 2 numbers?

-Alright. Lets take a look at this question from the perception of a Pri skool go-er. At tat time, we wouldnt know abt algebra and definately not about quadratic equation.

So how wud a Pri skool goer Solve this question??

The calculator of cos. Start pressing the buttons hoping to find the answer by multiplying 2 consecutive odd numbers.

In other words, Trial and Error.

-Now let us solve this question with our current abilities.

We'll let x be one of the numbers. and the other be (x+2)
Get the equation x^2 - 2x + 17955.
den solve it.
Finally gettin the answer x = 135

Now let's zoom into the various steps. For a normal person. How can u derive the equation
x^2 - 2x 17955 = (x+133)(x-135) in the end??



The calculator of cos. Start pressing the buttons hoping to find the answer by multiplying 2 consecutive odd numbers.



wahah wad a joke.
U go thru years of education. Learning ways thru books to solve problems which from the start u could have solved with ur natural abilities (being street smart).
No wonder there are more Nerds in the world compared to prodigies..

Prodigies and Nerds are common. In a way. Literally. They are developed and not intrinsic.
