What Is the What writes: "Over the course of many years, Dave and I have collaborated to tell my story... I told [him] what I knew and what I could remember, and from that material he created this work of art." The book is typical of Eggers' style: blending non-fictional and fictional elements into a non-fiction novel or memoir. By classifying the book a novel, Eggers says, he freed himself to re-create conversations, streamline complex relationships, add relevant detail and manipulate time and space in helpful ways—all while maintaining the essential truthfulness of the storytelling. However, not all critics were impressed. Lee Siegel sees
Quadratic irrational number they must satisfy a quadratic equation and they must be irrational. The solutions to the quadratic equation "ax" + "bx" + "c" = 0 are Thus quadratic irrationals are precisely those real numbers in this form that are not rational. Since "b" and 2"a" are both integers, asking when the above quantity is irrational is the same as asking when the square root of an integer is irrational. The answer to this is that the square root of any natural number that is not a square number is irrational. The square root of 2 was the first such number to
