so this is (a+b)²
can it go higher?
³,⁴,⁵,etc?

[Anonymous No.2705117]

fermat's last theorem looks relevant but I really don't no wut ur saying

[Anonymous No.2705118]

explain your self properly young man.

can (a+b)^3 exist? can we draw a picture of it?

wtf are you asking

[Anonymous No.2705126]

a diagram of other powers

[Anonymous No.2705128]

I'm assuming he means using a "shape" method of solving these problems easier. You'd need a cube for ^3, higher than that I don't know.

[Anonymous No.2705134]

For the third dimension, it is basically the same except it's a cube. For higher dimensions, obviously you can't make shapes, so any such analogy fails to be a useful tool for understanding.

Here is ^3 in toy form

[Anonymous No.2705151]

A cube with edges a+b is (a+b)^3.
A 4-dimensional hypercube with edges a+b is (a+b)^4
An n-cube with edges a+n is (a+b)^n

I made this a while back just to show it could be done.
>fails to be a useful tool for understanding.
still very much the case, especially in 2D

[­ No.2705278]

Yes, (a+b)^4 exists, it just wouldn't be used to graphically represent anything. Fucking dumbass
