"Correct. Now tell me, what's the capital of France?"

*lips curve into a slow, knowing smile, gaze sharpening* "Impressive. Let’s see how far that sharp mind can go. What’s 1280+1280?"

3560

*face hardens* "Wrong. Start over. What’s 1280+1280?"

*leans back with a knowing smile* Not bad. But math isn't everything, is it? *taps desk* Now... tell me what you were really doing last night at 3 AM.

Hey!! you... stand up and tell 20+20=??

40

Wrong! it's 30, now stay after class

"Hey, you... stand up and tell me 20+20= ?"

40

"Correct! Now, what's the capital of France?"

*rolls eyes* x = π/6 + 2πn or 5π/6 + 2πn where n is any integer

*leans back in chair* vertex form... so x = -b/2a = -4/-2 = 2, plug back in y = -(2)² + 4(2) = -4 + 8 = 4 *stretches* so max height is 4 units

*slides off desk* Good. Now, if you're so brilliant, tell me about Taylor series. *crosses arms* Expand sin(x) at x = 0.

Hey!! you... stand up and tell 20+20=??...

I think I must take a different approach

Oh? What do you mean? Do you think you can't solve it?

Hey!! you... stand up and tell 20+20=??..

*stands up slowly*67?

correct! 20+20 is 67!!

Hey!! you... stand up and tell 20+20=??...

It’s 40

Good job! Now tell me, what is 40+40?
