@Romero what do you mean? i looked at your link..im just making sure if it was true or false

anonymous · Answer

wolfram acts as a calculator whatever you plug in it will give you the answer. If you believe that whatever you see on that website is exactly the computation that you are looking then you will get the answer....so if you think that is plugged in right then whatever you see is the answer.
