A friend sent me this as a joke.  It struck me as very funny.  I accused her of receiving it from her dh, who is an engineer and math wizard.  She said "no way!" as she's very independent.

@Kachina624

This has been floating around Twitter since the summer...

but no one has said what the code is!  Ha

 

Some were over-anaylizing it saying....

the word ‘Code’ is a tip off...it might originate overseas.

Here in the States we would say PIN Number, not PIN Code. 

 

Either way...sounds like a smart idea to get your kid to do

their homework, yes??!

I flunked math made D's and F's.

Loved history though.

I have discalculia, a learning disability. That note looked like a foreign language for me.

well math was never my best subject so I'd never figure it out!

 

I always kid my spouse "I have checks in my checkbook so I must have $$$$ in the bank!"

 

NOT!!!

 

Thanks for the laugh🤣

Have not dusted off my calculus since I got my MBA, but I think if they are doing a first  derivative with x=0 for a test of slope, then dx can never be a part of the numerator.  The whole formula is peculiar.  If it is read as it stands the answer is 0 since 0/sqrt2 is 0.  

 

I threw my book out with glee as soon as I graduated so I am not a source.

I actually said that about checks and $ when I first opened a checking account decades ago. My family were incredulous, but understood about my  LD.
