    27, nearly 28.

    ...mental age of about 10, though.

    k² - 44k + 484 = 448 [Expanding]

    k² - 44k = 448-484 [Bringing 484 to the RHS]

    k² - 44k = -36 [Multiply throughout by k]

    k³ - 44k² = -36k

    k³ - 44k² + 36k = 0 [Bringing -36k to the LHS]

    k³ - 49k² +5k² + 8k + 28k = 0 [Rearranging factors]

    k³ + 5k² + 8k = 49k² - 28k [Rearranging factors and bring 49k² - 28k to the RHS]

    k³ + 4k² + k² + 4k + 4k = 49k² - 28k [Rearranging factors]

    k³ + 4k² + k² + 4k + 4k + 4 - 4 = 49k² - 28k [Adding + 4 and -4 to make it a quadratic/polynomial]

    k³ + 4k² + k² + 4k + 4k + 4 = 49k² - 28k + 4 [Bringing -4 to the RHS]

    k³ + 4k² + k² + 4k + 4k + 4 = (7k - 2)² [Writing 49k² - 28k + 4 in the form of (a-b)²]

    (1+k)(k² + 4k + 4) = (7k - 2)² [Factoring LHS]

    (1+k)(k + 2)² = (7k - 2)² [Writing k² + 4k + 4 in the form of (a+b)²]

    (1+k) = (7k-2)²/(k+2)² [Bringing (k+2)² to the RHS]

    (1 + 2sinxcosx) = (7k-2)²/(k+2)² [k = sin2x = 2sinxcosx]

    (sin²x + cos²x + 2sinxcosx) = (7k-2)²/(k+2)² [ 1 = sin²x + cos²x and we bring LHS to the form (a+b)²]

    (sinx + cosx)² = (7k-2)²/(k+2)²

    (sinx + cosx) = (7k-2)/(k+2) [Taking root on both sides]

    sinx + cosx = (7k -2)/k / (k+2)/k) [Divide Numerator and Denominator of RHS by k]

    sinx + cosx = (7 - 2/k) / (1+2/k)

    (sinx + cosx) (1 + 2/k) = 7 - 2/k [Taking (1+2/k) to the LHS]

    sinx + cosx + 2sinx/k + 2cosx/k = 7 - 2/k [Multiplying and Expanding]

    sinx + cosx + 2/k(sinx + cosx) + 2/k = 7 [Taking Common factor out]

    sinx + cosx + 2/k(sinx + cosx + 1) = 7 [Taking Common factor out]

    sinx + cosx + 2/k(sinx + cosx + sin²x + cos²x) = 7 [ 1 = sin²x + cos²x]

    sinx + cosx + 2/2sinxcos (sinx + cosx + sin²x + cos²x) = 7 [k = sin2x = 2sinxcosx]

    sinx + cosx + 1/cosx + 1/sinx + sinx/cosx + cosx/sinx = 7 [Canceling common terms]

    sinx+cosx+secx+cosecx+tanx+cotx = 7 [1/cosx=secx,1/sinx=cosecx,sinx/cosx=tan…

    Therefore sinx + cosx + secx + cosecx + tanx + cotx = 7

    3(sinx + cosx + secx + cosecx + tanx + cotx) = My age.
    I am seriously impressed with that. I'm 22.

    Fifty Six and should know better. Only trouble is, I forgot what I should be better at knowing!

    37, who is going to go through and give us the average... at say, page 20?
