okay so yeah i'm pretty sure it's just what goon posted, that's what i'm pretty much finding as an answer. my question, why is there such a difference between the graph of -2x^3/5 and -2x^4/5? they're different, yet similar...

-2x^3/5 looks kinda like this:

 

-2 * ( 5√x)³

 

Wheras the other is:

 

-2 * ( 5√x)⁴

 

(That's a fifth root.)

 

You're raising it to a different power, and the graphs of different roots differ slightly. This is especially true with 3 and 4, since 3's odd and 4's even.

It's funny. In high school I could have figured this all out, but as soon as you get to college and finish all of your required math courses you forget everything. EVERYTHING. WHAT THE [bleep] IS A FIFTH FRUIT?

College? Our math requirements in high school were only 2 years (I took all 4). I tried asking someone to do some basic derivations during my senior year to test them.. They had no [bleep]ing clue.

i'm lucky if i can solve an algebra problem

In HS we were required 3 years, technically I took 4 1/2. Here, 1 semester. And you can get away with taking as low as algebra. It's ridiculous.

Girls suck.

 

:ohnoes:

Really.

She makes me feel guilty for choosing a college close to home without saying anything. I feel like she'll be mad that I'm home this weekend and she won't want me around. If not seeing her boyfriend is killing her, than she needs to save her own life, even if it means ending the relationship. She won't. He's happy. She hasn't had to adjust to half of what he has. She still lives in the same place, has the same job, can do most of the things she could before. He's in a whole new world and he's FINE.

So she stayed home, went to a local college or whatever, and THE BOYFRIEND went somewhere like 2-3 hours away?

 

I've missed something.

And now it's everyone acting like they can't trust me with anything because I haven't been in their situations. Do they have any clue how isolated I feel just because they act like I'm unrelatable? I'm not slow. I'm not going to harm anything if anyone opens up to me. But nobody needs me, and if nobody feels comfortable opening up to me who am I supposed to open up to? Nobody, I'm supposed to keep everything inside. If I had someone to help me rebuild my self confidence, I'd be able to go out and meet more people. But when my strongest relationships feel weak and I don't feel like myself, I don't think it's a good time to go seek new things. I don't feel like I have anyone to tell me what I'm doing is stupid. I don't have anyone keeping track of where I am generally or what I'm doing. I don't feel like myself, and I don't feel like I can fix it.

@monk she's at home working. Her daily life hasn't changed except for his absence (and mine, which is irrelevant to her.) That's not even the issue right now, that's just one of them. The issue is with myself.

I just need to go to bed. Night.

I get the feeling that this song is somewhat appropriate, but at the same time, not.

 

You're all insane

First off she'll post again in about 30 minutes - 1 hour.

Secondly sooner or later she'll come back more then she does now because her boyfriend isn't with her 24/7.

How long that it will be no one knows.

 

 

I've been trying it, but it just doesn't seem to want to work like in the video...

I'm not your strongest best friend?

Also, if it comes down to it, you can open up in this thread.

 

Not that that's the best idea, but still.
