as far as I can tell this would be legal, yes?????

 

LOL!




"What now bitches?"

 

can someone back this out and tell me what the actual amount is?



......

 

$.002 = $.002
e^i(pi) = -$1
sum of 1/2^n from 1 to inf = ~$1

so: $0.002

verizon is rich now!

 

Judging by the Newport News, VA bank address, my guess is he is not a rocket scientist, but more likely a naval submarine engineer or equivalent. I could be wrong though.

 

hmm thats crazy but aweesome! lol

 

are y'all serious? This check has been floating around the internet for a few years now, and I believe I remember someone else solving the equation in an earlier post.

 

FYI, this is the joke behind that check:

Verizon math.

If they had problems telling the difference between dollars and cents, imagine what natural logarithms and differential equations will do to them...

 

I believe the sum of 1/2^n from 1 to inf is 0 due to the bottom number getting so large, 1 over that very large number is essentially 0.

I also think the e^i(pi) = -3.14 but I may be wrong.

I thought there was someone on here that was a math teacher or something.

 

The sequence is 1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/8 plus 1/16 plus 1/32 plus... And that sequence most definitely equals 1. (Try it yourself with a calculator - you only need to go up to about n=7 to see how it will end up.)

And the fun way to calculate e^(i*pi) is to use Google.

(Note that it's written differently than you have it, e^i(pi) which is the same as saying (e^i)*pi, rather than e^(i*pi))
