see they avoid me

OpenStudy (asad786):

lol same

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1 3 7 21 is half the list

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

don't forget about the negative counterparts

OpenStudy (asad786):

see he didn't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1, 3, 7, 21, -1, -3, -7, -21.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, and you can use the "plus/minus" to condense that list

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what I do next?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for example, the 1 and -1 can be written as \(\Large \pm 1\)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do the same with the other numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

±1, ±3, ±7, ±21 ±-1, ±-3, ±-7, ±-21 assuming what your talking bout

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sorry I didnt come back by I got called away

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

±-7 is just redundant

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

±1, ±3, ±7, ±21 is the most efficient way to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you straight @welshfella

OpenStudy (anonymous):
