Oh no I'm not that smart, I just really like Mathematics! As for that problem, I don't think I can solve it as I never seen anything like that before. Maybe after I have taken AP Calculus I will! Can you tell me what type of equation that is and how to solve it?
This is from Real Analysis. Basically its a proofs of calculus course. It's real nasty, I HATED IT!!!! In this course you start off with these rules, (R Means real numbers)
For all a, b,c ∈ R, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). (+ associative)
For all a, b ∈ R, a + b = b + a. (+ commutative)
There exists 0 ∈ R such that for all a ∈ R, a + 0 = a. (Zero)
For all a ∈ R, there exists (−a) ∈ R such that a + (−a) = 0.
For all a, b,c ∈ R, (a · b) · c = a · (b · c). (· associative)
For all a, b ∈ R, a · b = b · a. (· commutative)
There exists 1 ∈ R, 1 not equal to 0, such that for all a ∈ R, a · 1 = a. (Unit)
For non-zero a in R, there exists (1/a) ∈ R such that a · (1/a) = 1. (Reciprocals)
For all a, b,c ∈ R, a · (b + c) = a · b + a · c. (Distributive)
The course is about proving everything in calculus starting from those rules. To solve the problem I wrote, you have to prove it with the rules above.
