The day the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War..  Afghanistan, then, in a sense, became the United States' pawn.
There is no largest number. One simple way to consider this is to  look at the function:    f(x) = x + 1    Pick any number, and plug it into that function. No â¦ matter what  number you plug in, the function will always give you a number that  is one larger than the previous one. It doesn't matter how big x  is, there will always be an x + 1 value, which will always be  larger than x.
The number on the lower left of the symbol is the atomic number (or the number of protons). You will also notice that all of these have the same atomic number because they are all carbon atoms. The top number equals the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is called the mass number. So on the first one, the mass number is 12 indicating that the total number of protons and neutrons is 12.
