Baby The Homework thread

[Mr. Argumentor]

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?

I have the same questions about a lot of my classes. Why does a mechanical engineer need 2 English Comp classes? Why 3 random ass humanities courses?

No clue. I can see maybe one basic English class like Writing for Business being useful, but beyond that, I dunno. They say it is to make you a more well rounded person, but seriously, I don't use most of the crap I learned in college. Anthropology was interesting. I learned a lot about how to deal with people of different cultures and I have used that knowledge to my advantage in work environments. Maybe that will help you? I dunno.

College is a joke these days in my opinion. It's become a greedy institution.

I have a degree and I'm never going back. I'll stick to training courses. They aren't getting another 50k out of me. Hmpf

I'm considering a masters degree someday. Sometimes you need it to get where you want to go.

Where do you want to go?

Disneyworld

Second choice. The Maldives, before they sink under the ocean forever.

Did you see that Vice episode?

 

[Duke]

No. I did stay at a holiday in express last night though.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I realized I forgot to take the derivative of the argument itself (power rule? Or chain rule?).
Deriv of the argument multiplies it by 2x^1, or 2, thus canceling the 1/2

 

[eileenbunny]

Where do you want to go?

Capital Hill

Capital Hill

Capitol Hill? Ya you'll need a masters to spell... Heheh

Omg don't hit me, I know I'm an ass.

Lol. Yeah. I screwed the pooch on that one. You aren't an ass. I would have reacted exactly the same way.

 

[APRIL]

More importantly, why are you going there? Sounds like you have big plans.

Don't lie, we all know she totally is.

She wants to be the next DC madam.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Find the volume V of the described solid S.
The base of S is a circular disk with radius 5r. Parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the base are squares.

I get finding volume by rotating around an axis, the washer method, the cylinder method, etc. Volume by slicing throws me off though.
@gee You know this enough to tell me how to set it up?
x^2 + y^2 = 25 is one equation.
I think the other is that the area of the squares = y^2?

Solve circle equation for y, input solved y^2 as the A(x) in 2∫A(x)dx with upper limit as 5 and lower limit as 0?

Do we have any MDs or PhDs here?

Do we have any MDs or PhDs here?

Maybe some VDs?
