Merrell Hiking shoe's quality start cracking up I have been a supporter of Merrell shoes for quite a long time, actually about 10 years. Their comfort was amazing as well as build quality. My first pair was hiking boots and I wore them until they fell apart, I must admit that the sole wore through before the top started coming apart. I then bought hiking or trail shoes. I think the style was Merrell Vibram, not sure but that was written on the side of the hiking shoe. Anyway, who cares, I don't hike or go on trails. They are mainly used in and around at home. I also don't do any gardening with them by the way. So all in all I don't have a lot of wear and tear as can be seen on the amount of rubber left on the new pair of Merrell Hiking shoes. What really disturbed me is how badly the new Merrell Hiking shoes are put together. Put it this way, my old Merrell's had 5 years of walking on them, and there is not much wrong with them other than the ...
$$\huge x^2+(\frac{5y}{4} -\sqrt {|x|})^2=1$$ Just playing around, off course any non graphics calculator cannot render the graph. But its a cute equation.
Solving the equation below on a modern CAS or RPN calculator is quite easy, but doing it on the older HP15C or the latest DM15L is a little different. On an HP35s or HP Prime, even the HP50C enter the equation into the equation writer or solver, then solve for 'x' without thinking much. On the other hand the HP15C forces you to understand the flow of calculations and their relation to each other. In my opinion, a fundamental aspect missing in today's math's education. $$x^{x^2}=256$$ I posted this because I got it wrong and forgot the rules of exponents. A lot of people start from the bottom and work upwards to 'x', while the correct way is working from 'x' down to 2. So $$(x^x)^2 \ne x^{(x^2)} $$ Below is the program you can enter on the HP15C or DM15L (I assume the HP11C will work the same, even the venerable HP41 range, albeit with some changes in key selection.
