Baby The Homework thread

[Mr. Argumentor]

Random questions that I am not getting, and/or other stuff.

For this one, I initially thought the formula for g-prime (x) should be 1/2 (1+2x)^(-1/2)
However it is just (1+2x)^-(1/2)

According to shortcut rules, x^n as a derivative becomes nx^(n-1), so where does the initial 1/2 go?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

And in this problem it works perfectly

The fuck?

I haven't done that kind of math in almost 20 years. I don't use it. No idea how to do it anymore. Once upon a time I was great at math.

I am pretty good at manipulating the more advanced stuff, but the basic stuff trips me.

I used to be awesome at math. Then I finished school and stopped using it. I have fucking math medals and shit, for reals.

plot it

This looks like a job for the MathMagician!

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

plot it

Doesn't do anything, the derivative is how to find the slope of any point tangential to the original function

no, we changed the locks on the forum

 

[CletusJones]

Fuck derivatives. I dropped that class like it was a pregnant hooker.

I have to get to something like Calc 3. le sigh.

Ayuh, I won the matholympiad or whatever it was ages ago, these days I'm lucky if I can remember how to add stuff.

I gave up mechanical engineering because math.

I took all those hard ass classes at devry and nothing transferred. I wasn't going to muddle through them again for something I wasn't sure about doing anyways.

Look at me now! I sew.

 

[Mikeawesome]

i think barely passed calc2.

Get a job you old student!!!!










Wouldnt it be funny if I was the forum mathematician?? Hahahahaaaaaaaa

Mikey? Is that you?

 

[gee]

I use plenty of calculus in my day job, but I can't for the life of me remember how to do that kind of derivative

You'd be better off asking current college students.

Gotta remember the question to ask it. There was an off chance one or two people might know, but it was more so I could pull it up on my phone

I understand. I finished Calc 3 in my senior year of high school. Then I went to art school and they made me take differential equations because I needed a math class for my core. What in the world is a graphic designer going to do with that useless knowledge? I could have understood it if I were going to be an engineer or something. Waste of my time really though. What are you studying anyway?
