For some reason, until I saw this image, I never really fully understood how it all fits together, as you approach higher powers. I have lifted this image from Wikipedia, which you can find here.

A Quick Binomial Interlude
I just thought I would quickly share with you, what I consider to be a lovely way to demonstrate what polynomials actually represent, geometrically.

Ok, where's the fourth dimensional one?
ReplyDeletePeople used to solve cubic equations by doing cubes just like you did and then splitting them up.
That's impressive.
Didn't say that it was impressive. Just lovely, as an aid to understanding.
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice. I've always been a sucker for anything pretty and/or visual. And if it helps in understanding some concept, well, all the better!
