Of course my method will be difficult to show coder1 that x^3 has three solutions that all happen to be 5. So we must take your approach on that one. Good luck on the swim lessons.Originally posted by: shuan24
nice approach dullard, I just did it in a different way.
(but by using the quadratic equation it is more versatile than having a perfect root)
I may have to get a direct phone number from you. Do you take credit cards??????????
