Good job! NOW if you only had a pencil and a piece of paper how would you figure it out? Oh and I'll let you use a STANDARD calculator too!

I see it now.

4th digit has to be 1
?057
-417
=040

3rd digit has to be 2 to get the 4
21x417=8757
??057
-8757
=300

2nd digit has to be 9 to get the 3

The answer is 42!! Don't you people know anything????

I probably would have taken the pass on the original equation. That'* why I'm such a success now....

jeez I'll trade you math problems any day....

one from my most recent HW...

verify each given function is a solution of the equation
y''''+4y'''+3y=t where y1(t)= (t/3) and y2(t)= e^(-t) + (t/3)



dont worry though, I already turned the hw in so you dont have to solve it

That looks like part of a differential equation.
