ROFL owned.

But I don't remember negative logs in my algebra class. (Maybe I slept that day or something.)

No, I'm pretty sure studying complex algebra in algebra II isn't a normal thing.

All we ever did was know a little about complex roots of polynomials. We never got into anything in the real-complex plane, branch cutting, or anything like that.

HOLY CRAP!!! aperson u should get a new section for aperson's insanly hard questions becasue everyone under 18 or so has no ****ing clue wtf ur saying but ppl like it. this is because urs are mostly harder

YOU ARE COOL BECAUSE YOU ARE STUPID.

Now fµck off. Now that it's out there no one cares.

I'm probably not noticing something, but aren't you not allowed to rearrange alternating series?

Re: Anyone know why this works?

What exactly do you mean by rearranging? The terms are all just added, if that's what you're meaning...

What I mean is, some alternating infinite series (i.e. ones that have both positive and negative terms) break the commutativity of addition.

Re: Anyone know why this works?

I see.

But in this case, the powers of x of each term in one series are nonexistant in the other, thereby allowing one to slip into the other without affecting it.

In the example of the link you gave, the terms are all constants, so they're affecting each other, thus breaking commutativity.

Just like you said, SOME alternating infinite series break commutivity. sinx + cosx does not.

itsa negative and a positive equasion it will always work
