Hey, maybe she just had a hankering for algebra. I had the very foolish notion I wanted a minor in math, but 3rd year calculus did me in.........

Ask a math question and geeks come crawling out of the woodwork!

Nobody has posted a graph yet, so I guess I have to.

The red line is y = 5
The green little circles are the intersection: (-5 + sqrt(105))/4 and (-5 - sqrt(105))/4

Sorry, I can't help it. Once a geek, always a geek.

And I love love love the graph, Independently Poor!

You guys are brilliant!
Little parabolas will be dancing across my dreams now.

I would just like to state that I got a 723 on my math SATS in 1967 (jr. year of HS) and I do not know my X from my Y.
