Mathematical Puzzles : What is -LRB- -RRB- + -LRB- -RRB- + -LRB- -RRB- = 30 using 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 ?
Is this an acceptable factorization of -LSB- math -RSB- \ frac -LCB- 2 -RCB- -LCB- 3 -RCB- b ^ 5 - \ frac -LCB- 1 -RCB- -LCB- 6 -RCB- b ^ 3 + \ frac -LCB- 4 -RCB- -LCB- 9 -RCB- b ^ 2-1 -LSB- / math -RSB- ? Why or why not ?
