You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any time you see \"f%28x%29\", you can substitute a letter
\n" ); document.write( "like \"+y+\" or \"z+\".
\n" ); document.write( "Also, f(x) doesn't have to be \"f\". You can simply
\n" ); document.write( "say \"+f%28x%29+=+g%28x%29+\". Now you can use \"g\".
\n" ); document.write( "If I say \"f%28x%29+=+x%5E3+\", then what is the advantage
\n" ); document.write( "of saying it that way?
\n" ); document.write( "I have said that f(something) = (something)^3 and
\n" ); document.write( "now I can say \"+f%28x+%2B+1%29+=+%28x%2B+1%29%5E3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Also, I can add functions of \"x\", like
\n" ); document.write( "\"+f%28x%29+%2B+f%28x%2B1%29+=+x%5E3+%2B+%28x%2B1%29%5E3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
