So my younger sisters algebra 1 teacher gave this problem
Fruit basket is filled with 60 ounces of fruit (apples and oranges). Apples weigh 4 ounces, oranges weigh 2 ounces. How many oranges are there?
If asked 20 people, and we agreed there are multiple answers because of the lack of info, but when my sis turned it in, her teacher marked it wrong, and told her she didn't do enough work.
So is there a specific answer to this?

I promise you the problem also said that there were x fruit in total. If it didn't then there are multiple integer solutions.
>>
>>7768998
Nope, that's literally all the info her teacher gave. Just apple 4 ounces, oranges 2 ounces. 60 ounces total, and you have to find out how many oranges from that.
>>
>>7768998
This.
Or the teacher just accidentally left it out.

Any idea what it is? I didn't think regular molds grow in acidic juices.

What is this, a subway for ants?
>>
>>7768854
OP are you dumb, why are you posting here?
Why don't you take a 30cm ruler, go to the subway and measure the dimensions of a subway train and google its weight.
Then use that to calculate how much copper coil you'd need to transport that subway train from station to station at a velocity that matches the subway trains' current velocity.
Then calculate the cost of it, it will probably be like... 5 bucks. Really cheap to get copper coil, specially if you use slave labor. And then submit your design to the city council, ask to get 20% of everything the new subway makes and become a zilliobilliomilliofaggotnaire!

I don't know the program, but should'nt you remove the "y=" ?

It's MathGV if you look at the title.
I knew that I'll remove the y, but that didn't mattered because the same results are expected.
The only equation that is acceptable is 3cos(4)x but the result of it is a diagonal line. What I need is a wavelength patttern.

Also that is the original equation, I just put there

Oh don't worry--your consciousness will expire long before that happens.
how the fuck am i supposed to solve this without being able to use l'Hôpital's??
best i get to is
(lim of x*sqrt(x+1)-sqrt(x)/x^3/2 as x-> 0+)(lim 1/sqrt(x+1)) as x-> 0+)
but first function is indeterminate..
pls help

Maybe:
1/sqrt(x) - 1/sqrt(x^2+x)
1/sqrt(x) - 1/[sqrt(x)*sqrt(x+1)]
1/sqrt(x)*[1 - 1/sqrt(x+1)]
The limit of the term in brackets as x approaches 0 is 1
So now you only worry about the first term. And there's no debate about it. Since you can't approach it from 0-, the limit from 0+ is the limit at 0, and that would be infinity. Use logic, make a table of values, whatever you do will give you infinity.

What do you want people to say? There's been literally mountains of studies on how to properly review. Listen, read, do practice work/tests, covers all your "types of learning". Teaching to others is also effective way to learn. Space your studying over a period of time. Nutrition, exercise, quietness. Flash cards apparently also work quite well.

According to the general relativity, it's possible to exist the reverse of a black hole, called a white hole, a region of space-time where nothing comes in, just out.
A new theory, first studied by Stephen Hawking suggests that these holes are the cause of the emergence of other universes. As well as ours. The Big Bang is nothing more than that hole ejecting matter from another.
>What do you guys think about white holes? They can really exist?
I've been theorizing the existence of multiple universes before but never thought about a white hole can be the main reason.

Where did the matter that made the first black hole come from.

If whit holes exist then why do black holes evaporate?
>>
>>7768409
Wouldn't we have seen one by now?
They should be easier to see than black holes, there are plenty of black holes out there.

I have a fewcstrange questions... can you smell things you've eaten through your body? Can you smell your blood through your skin?
Yesterday I drank a whole bottle of magnesium citrate(laxative) for fun, and I swear I could smell the diarrhea smell leaking out through by pores. It wasn't from farts, I didn't shit my pants, and when I wiped I used baby wipes to finish the cleaning and I got any splatter that hit my butt cheeks.
I promise I could smell it through my skin. The diarrhea smell.
And there are times when my balls smell like what I've eaten. I heard what you eat effects how your sperm tastes, but apparently it can leak through your skin? Balls have thin skin in particular.
And finally, I've smelled my skin and it smelled like blood. A coppery smell.
Now, I have sat on making this thread long enough. I've made sure my hands and skin were clean. I've done this enough times.
Is this normal? Being able to smell your own BLOOD though your skin?

A more interesting question is why some things are odorless at all
>>
the only way to smell something is if it's vaporized in a gas medium. you can smell things youve eaten because its evaporating off your body through sweat into the air.
anything that has a taste will have a smell if its vaporized and small enough molecule.
>>
>>7768389
The theory is it's a survival mechanism.
For example, if the taste of water was stronger than it's contaminants, it would be harder for you to detect contaminated water.
If the smell of air overpowered the smell of animals, it would make it harder for predators to hunt and harder for prey to smell predators.
Any of you have experience grading undergraduate courses before? I just got offered a position to grade an undergrad CS course and I was wondering if you guys had any experiences doing this kind of stuff.

Sounds fucking awful.
Grading is the worst part of being a teacher.
Hence why them niggas is outsourcing it to poor students.
>>
>>7768351
Uh... you just grade homework and tests for minimum wage... Do you really need advice on this?
>>
>>7768356
>>7768359
Well it's not entirely grading. I have to hold office hours too. But I get to charge the department for the office hours every week and report my own hours grading so it's 2-18hr/week at $10.25/hr. That's pretty good for a part time job student job IMO, especially since it will help me not forget the material.
Is it really that bad of a job? I was hoping it would be easy. I'm most worried about students arguing with me about grades since most of them will be around my age or older

I'm in talks with two professors regarding my PhD studies. I have noone to ask so I'll post here
1. Detection of drones using passive antennae -- the basic idea is to observe disturbances in the EM fields of routers and such, and to try to guess what kind of object causes the disturbance. Basically all computational physics
Pros :
Super helpful guy and has good connections
I think this topic would be useful when looking for a job later
2. Trying to find and detect new terms in heat conduction effects.
So this one is tricky, because I feel like if people havent come by these effects, they might not be really important from a practical point of view, but
1. guy is also enthusiastic, if somewhat less so than the first one
2. really interesting topic
3. Has experimental, theoretical and computational elements.
Any opinions to share?

The second one seems less risky. You don't want to still be in grad-school in your 30s and there's so much that could go wrong with 1.

1 is legitimately interesting and I'm a layman

f' is just the "name" of the function obtained by taking the derivative. The real travesty is that you don't seem to understand the difference between a function evaluated at x and a function.

Is there a specific way to find out if a matrix's rank depends on a variable inside said matrix?
In this example I've just been trying to replace beta (alpha being any value) with random values until I get the rank down to 2.

Even after Gauss it's hard to get to a conclusion, unless I'm doing it wrong.
>>
>>7767964
The rank of a matrix is equal to the size of the biggest non zero determinant you can calculate from it.
That matrix already has got at least two as rank, since it has a non zero 2x2 size determinant. To test if its rank is three, simply calculate the bigger determinant possible, which is the unique of size 3x3.
