Kansas to the minus one? One over Kansas?

Kansas^-1 (x) not kansas (x)^-1

Kansas inverse?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah it's a play how arcsin(x) = sin^-1(x), arccos = cos^-1(x), and arctan = tan^-1(x)

So one over Kansas times x not Kansas times one over x?

Kansas is a function name, not a variable in this notation. Otherwise it would be (Kansa/s)(x) which simplifies to (a^2) (k)(n)(x)

I'm not pointing any fingers, but the correct way to pronounce it is how it used to be written: "Arkansaw"

Next time someone brings up Kansas in conversation (why would they), and if they imply nothing is there, you can contradict their statements easily. Kansas is invertible and therefore nonzero. QED.

Edit: Oh actually it's a function here never mind.
