I used Pascal's Triangle as my method, but the process where you expand an unknown and a constant / two unknowns to the power of whatever is called a binomial (two number) expansion. Or at least that's how it's taught in England. I get the impression that there are some differences in terminology, judging by the fact that RC called what I would call 'roots' 'zeroes'.

RC_4777 For your question I used the cubic formula and a calculator and got -3.59, 0.295±1.01i where i= sqrt(-1). Safe to say it wasn't a very fun question.
I ended up graphing RC's question, and I got a single zero of -3.6, so it's relatively consistent.

I think it's neither, not sure though. Haven't done much on trig functions yet :/
Spoiler Alert:
Secant functions are considered Even, and pay respect by reflecting across the Y-Axis

How is it even if it's 1- sec whatever, and you've translated it 1 up? Even is rotational symmetry round the origin, right?

Cubic formula Lel? 2.9x12.3

What is the square root of Pi squared?
Pi xD
Well I'm dumb and my teacher is just getting around to teaching us circles...so xD

Find the chord of a circle in which the radius is 4 cm and the distance from the centre is 1.8 cm (just made this one up in my head).
