The statement about the two words only concerns the body, and the formula n² + 2 counts for one word.

• gohrt 11y ago
  Why would you count a compound expression, with internal spaces, as one word?
  • danharaj 11y ago
    The spaces are mere typesetting. n^2+2 is the same expression typeset a different way.

      "mere typesetting" is a rather offensive way to describe a document typeset in TeX, a system invented to free mathematics from "mere typesetting".

        Hey, I've used LaTex. It deserves aspersions as much as accolades :3

    Technically "n^2+1" has no spaces. And I guess one way to think about it is that terms in an expression can be viewed as letters, so the expression then becomes a word.
    • harryjo 11y ago
      How do you pronounce that word?
      • pd1 11y ago
        "n squared plus one"

  Check out THIS word then: (x = (-b±sqrt(b^2-4 a c))/(2 a))
