Because -a * -b = (-1) * a * (-1) * b = a * b

>the difference between dx and delta x from a geometric perspective
which is ?

I understood not to use toilet paper instead of my hand. I'd say the mental capacity it required to realize this was compatible to yours.

>>7924504
Oh, I misspoke. I meant the difference between dz and delta z (z being the dependent variable).

The difference is that dz is the change in z using the linearization and delta z is the change in z using the actual function.

For instance, in R2 with y = f(x). You find the derivative at x = a, which can be used to create a tangent line.

Moving from a to b, the dy added to f(a) will always land on the tangent line.

Moving from a to b, the delta y added to f(a) will always land on the original function.

Omg please yes
We can keep some soft sciences like some biology threads were pretty alright, but imagine a /sci/ without all the consciousness/free will/bioethics/epistemology shit

The answer heavily depends on your definition of driven

>>7924396
Well CEOs of startups, scientists, someone trying to become an astronaut...

>>7924396

This.

I've been described as "driven" and being a natural hard worker by academic advisors and such.

However, I spend large amount of time doing fuck-all. The "driven" bit comes when I have shit that I need to do I'll always prioritize work and I'll always get it done and do it well. But outside of my own area I don't really give a shit. I have no hobbies and struggle to maintain a basic level of humanity.

But then you have people who work several jobs and study and have a company and have hobbies and that's a whole different can of worms.

Burn your poop or make biogas with it for fuel.

Some engineers in India designed a generator that runs on feces to bring electricity to remote rural villages. I shit you not (pun unintended).

infinity minus infinity isn't 0 you retard

Anything negative plus the same thing possitive would be zero

for all n the thing is zero

>>7923233
my book shows something with l'hopitals rule when the top and bottom are zero so it might have something to do with that but idk

The man does not stop instantly in space, he still has velocity relative to the earth. That said, I'm blanking rn on where he'd go.

>>7923137
Nuh, I know he's still going as fast as the ISS but his orbit has been changed because he jumped... and he'll be furthest from the station on the other side of the orbit but meet up again in the same spot he jumped.

the red orbit will take longer to complete, so by the time he reaches the same position again on the red orbit, the ISS will be slightly further on the green orbit than it was the previous pass

Because we live in a 3 dimensional space and gravity exerts a uniform force form every point around an object in 3 dimensions.

it's the simplest and most durable shape for the forces exerted upon it by gravity in a 3D plane of existence.

If you were as massive as a planet you would take on a spherical shape too.

It's called accretion you dumbasses

You forgot your trip jaden smith

>I wonder if our brains are limited to thinking of things based on this universe rules

Well yeah if we could just break the rules they wouldn't really be rules

If you imagine something out of this world, that means imagining something out of this world is within this worlds rules

What you're asking is like saying "what if something out of this box was in this box"

That's impossible because the moment you put it in the box, it is no longer out of the box. It's just another thing in the box.

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, I think it's much more interesting that way.
