Those are the best kind of tangents.

What's a number?

Given a function, f(x), that is only dependant upon x and for which there is only one value for every x, there exists a line that is tangent that intersects the point (x,f(x)) for every x0. This tangent can be found by using the form

T(x)=x?f'(x0)+(f(x0)-x0?f'(x0))

A child recently asked me what eight times four is. I thought about it for a while. I put together some experiments. I ran some tests. I searched through numerous published articles on number theory.
I then came back to the child and responded, "What's a 'four'?"
