Thread for Random and Brilliant Minds!

[yomo]

Ok thought i might start a thread for random maths, physics, chemistry, etc...

Just write the question like this

Subject - Maths
Difficulty - Year 12 Maths - Easy
Question - Using First principles what is the slope function of f(x) = Root X or x ^ 1/2

Background Info
(Put list of equations if needed etc...)

[gordy]

meh, did it, i havent done first principles for agggeeess, they are just so inconvenient

ill post another question,
yr 12 extension 2 maths (albeit relatively easy by its standards):

new one: find the complex square roots of 10-24i giving your answers in the form x+iy, where x and y are real

[yomo]

Subject: Year 12 Maths Easy (just getting people warmed up )
Questions: Prove that the product of 2 odd functions is even.

[DankeKTM21]

E=MC² that words made my cry of happy lol

F= y M1 M2
R²

Holy crap you did it the long way.

How bout the short way:

1/2 X ^ (-1/2)

EDIT - PS - You do KNOW the short way, right?

I think the "first principles" was the key to the question. Power rule is wayyyyyy tooooo easy.

[Garasaki]

Oh ok I see. It's been...like 12 years since I had to do it that way. Definately not a process that was worth storing in my long term memory.

[wheels1758]

no, not fun. I think when i learned it 2 or 3 years ago, they showed us that way, and then told us 2 minutes later that there is this easier way to do it. Kinda dumb to set up the limit and all that. Way easier to use rules. What kinda problem you guys want? Word problem?

[Garasaki]

It IS very important to understand the relationship between calculus functions and the limit theorys from which they are derived.

The title of this thread just reminded me of something:

My mind is damn...... random

Does an airplane take off on a treadmill or not?


(Don't be morons about this. I know the correct answer, I'll explain it if someone makes a fool of themselves)

[wheels1758]

Voutare, if a plane crashes on the border of canada and the united states, where do they bury the survivors?

[Voutare]

They don't bury survivors.

But if they did die, they would bury them in the US. Because everyone knows that the Canadians eat their dead.

Only sometimes....
Just messing ive saw that movie, freaked me right the !@*% out.

Holy crap you did it the long way.

How bout the short way:

1/2 X ^ (-1/2)

EDIT - PS - You do KNOW the short way, right?

yeah i know the short way, hence why i commented on how inconvenient calculus by first principles is

new one: find the complex square roots of 10-24i giving your answers in the form x+iy, where x and y are real

Something like SQRT(154)+12i

Don't have any questions on me atm, and cant be bothered making one up
