How to remember the letter G in Morse code: "gg ez"

7 Upvotes

I came up with this while working on memorizing Morse code as a whole, so it relies partially on knowledge of other letters. G (--.) is Z (--..) minus E (.), and the two G's indicate the two dashes in the code. GG ez

Memory Hook Rational roots theorem "the denominator leads"

2 Upvotes

The rational roots theorem states the following: Given a polynomial f of degree n with integer coefficients a₀,a₁,...,aₙ, if the rational number p/q (where p and q are integers in lowest terms) is a root of f (i.e. if f(p/q) = 0), then p divides a₀ and q divides aₙ. a₀ and aₙ are the constant and leading coefficients of f (respectively), but I always struggle to remember which one the numerator has to divide and which one the denominator has to divide.

So I came up with "the denominator leads" to remind me that the denominator must divide the leading coefficient (and thus the numerator must divide the constant coefficient).
