A term paper can be written in Word on any OS that actually has Word (or something similar) installed.

I'm running Windows XP, but my college uses machines with Windows 7. I was worried I wouldn't be able to open Word on the campus computers because my older version might not be compatible. I already know I couldn't open a DOCX file on my laptop, even though they always use them in Word at school.

I'm running into an issue with Microsoft OneDrive. I need to draft a term paper for college using Word, but since I don't have Windows 7, I decided to use OneDrive Office—the online version of Word. The problem is that every time I start typing, I get an error message saying something went wrong and telling me to restart the application. Naturally, I do that, but the exact same thing happens every single time after I type just a few letters at the beginning. Does anyone know what's causing this mess 🤷?

Either way, you end up with massive numbers. The trick is to break the formula down into columns... Well, looks like Nicholas King already gave you the answer. I was thinking along the same lines. There's no point overthinking it; you just have to figure out how the sequence continues.

Multiplication.

Nicholas King said:I assumed the missing operation was exponentiation. In that case, the numbers aren't actually huge.

I couldn't crack the problem. Not sure where I went wrong. Doesn't matter, though. Maybe you can handle this one:

Solve this system of linear equations using matrix algebra:

x+2*v-z=3-y-u
y+x=1+u
2*x+2*u=1-v
x+y+u+z+1=0
u=2*v+2+z

One more thing. You mentioned expanding the task to fifty rows. Now I just need to know how to actually pull that off.

Thanks 🙂! I can't dive into this task quite yet—need to get Microsoft Office installed first. Thanks again 🙂!

Hey. I've got an Excel task I need to tackle. Here's the prompt:

Find the fiftieth term of this sequence and solve it using Excel:

(8/3*(1+2))1/2, (64/5*(1+2+4))1/3, (512/7*(1+2+4+8))1/4, . . .
