Joseph,
Just the coefficients?
is that 1?
-6^744 x 6^745
The only president who ruled for 2 non-consecutive terms is (I believe) Grover Cleveland.
( [3x – 3x^2 +1]^744 ) x ( [- 3x + 3x^2 +1]^745 ) ?
Actually I’m not sure what you mean by the sum of the coefficient (btw, wouldn’t that be product?)
((3 – 9)^744)((-3 + 9)^745)
(-6)^744
x 6^745
_______
1
or do you mean
( [3x – 3x^2 +1]^744 ) x ( [- 3x + 3x^2 +1]^745 ) ?
((3x – 9x +1)^744)((-3x + 9x +1)^745)
((-6x +1)^744)((6x+1)^745)
Well actually I guess I get one in any case. or is that 2? I really don’t remember.
or is it 6x+1?
wow, intellegent, what do you do for fun besides algebra? lol

you totally googled that one! yeah Grant sent a letter to Lincoln, but Lincoln revoked it. it recently came up when obama won. trying to get him to stand up for us by showing him that we were in the same boat at the same time.

joseph, save you drunk comments for the smoking/drinking thread
by maydel & sir joseph:
The current President of ireland is Mary McAleese!! She acts on the advice and authority of the Government but performs a limited number of functions after consultation with an advisory Council of State. She receives and accredits Ambassadors. Every law made by Parliament is promulgated by her. Bills passed by both Houses of Parliament require her signature for their enactment into law. She may, before signing a Bill, seek a Supreme Court ruling on whether it is repugnant to the Constitution !!!
i didn’t always live in ireland just to let you know!!
brooklyn19: your getting closer!!!
“manhattan is the only boro in nyc that doesnt have a maim st.”
Oh I think lots of people have gotten maimed on the streets of Manhattan!
There is a Main Street on Roosevelt Island, which is technically part of Manhattan.
asdfghjkl-
FDR at one point tried to pack the supreme court with judges who were in idealogical agreement with him by adding one judge for every existing judge over a certain age. His attempt failed. Is this what you’re talking about?
a. Manhattan has 2 Ts.
b. im pretty sure the midnight appointment was made by John Madison, and he appointed some big judge i forget who (not Marshall)
There was also the “midnight massacare” when Nixon got Robert Bork to fire Archibald Cox.
i can only try: try again!!!
nah it was way before that. i’m guessing adams or jefferson cuz it was something to do with john marshall. i think he was involved too. should i google it? it’s killing me!
ouch. i did gorgeously on my history regents. and in college too. what has happened??
asdfghjkl-
Didn’t know it. Googled it. Now know it.
btw – totally off topic – but are “googled” and “googling” words? any english majors here?
brooklyn19-
Recently (within the last couple of years) saw in the news that they had been “officially” added. So was “irregardless”.
really? “irregardless” is completely and totally redundantly redundant!
brooklyn19-
Instead of considering it product of the Department of Redundancy Department, just think of it as a free gift to the English language.
brooklyn19: Merriam-Webster, and I believe Oxford, added “google” as a recognized English word a couple of years ago.
a free complimentary word? ok fine we’ll take it. even though it’s a stupid word.
🙂 thanks
completely and totally redundantly redundant!
So are “completely” and “totally.”
more history questions to get our brains thinking!!

5)how many amendments are in the bill of rights? & can anyone list them all??(lol in order)
p.s. i got a 98% on my american history regent!!!!
bkyln19, apparently it’s being used more and more often, so be careful of which words you call “stupid” because the user of that word might be of a sensitive nature and get offended, because you would be implying that the user of that word is also stupid.
in general, i dont like the word stupid, it’s just a polite (if you can call it that) way of saying worse things. like a euphemism i guess
asdfghjkl – how’d such an American history buff like you end up getting stuck in Ireland of all places?
1)which president dies after 5 weeks in office? Harrison
2)who were women of the american reform movement? Susan B. Athony, many others
3)how many presidents were asassinated? Lincoln – Booth, Garfield – Guiteau, McKinley – Czogolcz, Kennedy – Oswald
4)what year did roosevelet get a 3rd term in? 1940 (started serving it in 1941)
5)how many amendments are in the bill of rights? the first 10 & can anyone list them all??(lol in order) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

abcdefghijk1234567… whatever your name is: what’s up with all the irish jokes? you really live there or did a miss an old joke?
asdfghjkl,
I don’t think you’re really from Ireland.
brooklyn19,
Are you sure you’re from Brooklyn? You did gorgeously on your history regents?
And btw, forget history, I think you are ready to be awarded the “most posts on ywn award”!
Bais Yaakov maydel,
Give me a break!
Joseph,
What’s up!? What’s the answer. I can’t take the suspense any longer!
I’m breathless!
intelligent – copy that equation to the riddle thread. (I’m away from a computer now, and don’t want to leave you breathless too long… 🙂
Joseph,
How did you post that if you are away from your computer?
And are you closer to the riddle thread? 😐
I never really go to the riddle thread. should I start now? Does that makes sense? I don’t like doing things that don’t make sense. :-
Apparently, you do things that you don’t like though.
oh my bad i thought question #5 was: how many amendments were there sach hakol!
and i love the word gorgeous. i don’t even remember using it, but what’s wrong with it?
Me too, especially from a brooklyn mouth – gaaaawjzis.
lol where are you from? (out-of-town, i presume!) hawaii? arizona? kentucky? lol
squeak
Most brooklyners under the age of 55 don’t say gaaaawjzis. At least the ones I know.
Your ears are not trained to pick up an accent identical to your own, that is all.
gaw-jis
i think that’s how i say it!
What is the sum of the coefficients of
( [3x – 3x^2 +1]^744 ) x ( [- 3x + 3x^2 +1]^745 ) ?
intellegent, some tips…
There is a rule of exponents;
(a^b) * (a^c) = a^(b+c).
So, since the stuff inside the parenthesis is the same (3x – 3x^2 + 1), this expression can be rewritten as:
(3x – 3x^2 + 1)^(744+745) = (3x – 3x^2 + 1)^1489.
The coefficients are 3 [from the 3x] and -3 [from the -3x^2], and 1 is a constant.
intellegent, i assumed from your post that i offended you in some way but my last post was not directed towards you. is there something you found offensive in it, or are you just lacking in verbal sensitivity?
ladies & gentleman:
i do indeed currently live in ireland!!! i was born in nyc & grew up in brooklyn, work took me to ireland in the last few years!!! my salary is now in the six figures!!!(just to make ya all envious!!!)
nice work you all with the history answers!!!!
asdfghjkl
