Notice the bad handwriting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quirinus Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think you must have done the math incorrectly, 616^2/616^2+615 and 1/1+(615/616)^2 give me .500812. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Wow sweet, so it DOES work (supposedly). I saw the something like this in a textbook of mine recently and I thought they were full of mud. But, I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
