Jing,
I lost this from my mail, so am retyping from deja.com.
I said:
if k is negative (except -1),y = 2*x
You said
>I might be picky. The last one seems strange. My test has the following
>results [elided]:
You are quite correct. Mea culpa. I just happened to do a quick and dirty
analysis of k = -3 and that was the result I got. As yours. I blatantly made
the assumption that it would be the same for all negative k. You are perfectly
correct that for any number higher than 3, the result should always be 1.
Hopefully that for me was a knee-jerk (quick and dirty) reaction and I do study
stuff I have to write in better detail. Well my employer hopes so :-)
Thanks
Regards, Paddy

Either "\'" or "\s" (to escape the apostrophe) seems to work for most people,
but that little whizz-bang apostrophe gives me little spam.
