What class?  Deriving int(cos(x^7)) is pretty complex... Any exponentials in those trig functions just **** everything up.

I'm not sure what wolfram is doing..

But, I too have not had to do anything like this for a hooile.. But Generally, I'm pretty sure this is the type of problem where you get something + something (dx) + c,  and you keep integrating and add it up at the end.


double check if the problem is  cos⁷(x)

there's like a sub thing for even/odd powers of doing that integration.

I hate those
Especially at $8 ouch
They don't even taste like proper white chocolate
Absyrd downs them like a mother****er tho

I have to take three levels of calculus for computer engineering, it's terrible. The class average for the first exam was a 45%, second exam was a 68%. I need to obtain a C or higher to stay in my major otherwise I would need to drop majors or take the class again, luckily I'm doing well enough to be passing but it's a struggle. We're just finishing up derivatives and graph sketching now, problems take forever to solve and simplify. Here's an example from two quizzes ago where we have to find f'(x)

I had to take four levels and it was glorious. 

Yours is a tough one but at least it's reasonable. Will just take a couple pages.  )

I couldn't even imagine four levels of calculus.
That problem was just a huge page filler there haha, hard to keep track of all the derivatives. Luckily I got it correct on my quiz, but only have 50 minutes to complete 6 questions similar to the previous one is rough.
Sketching graphs isn't too difficult but having to go through all the steps to find the intervals of increase/decrease, concavity, etc. is annoying.

Yeah, I had to do 4 levels of calc plus some diff eq classes when I still was pursuing an engineering major.  Then I switched majors and only had to take the 4 calc classes, making the diff eq a waste of time.  The irony is that the differential equations are probably what I have to do more often these days.

That problem looks tedious to do, but honestly kinda fun. 

Is that supposed to be e^(2/(x+1)) or 2/((e^x)+1)?

It's e^(2/(x+1)), the problem wasn't too bad but tedious. When they start to get long it's easy to lose track of a negative sign or power.

WHEN THE **** WILL I GET PROMOTED

I'm right there with you. A little inspiration from Junior Murvin - "Son, don't put your hat where you can't reach it...it doesn't make no sense..."


Also, what's irking me is the surge of people trying to sell stuff. It's a buyers market for sure. Everyone needs that holiday $$$ though.

Yes!! So much stuff has been bought be me lately, that I'm trying to stay away from the classifieds, eBay and the like.  I'm feeling a new gmk set, but I can't decide between hyperfuse, Skidata + or some OG stuff

I'm very tempted to use my Paypal balance and get Hyperfuse GMK, but I'm probably just going to wait a few months for tax refund season. I'm not very crazy about the Hyperfuse colors, I'll probably wait for some OG dyesubs to appear again.

edit: went to go buy a Pexon Realforce cable. $53 after shipping..wow. It's not for me...so..pass.

I feel you bro.

That's what we had in Moscow in 2010 on a GOOD day.

[Belfong]

gosh! also due to forest fire or something more toxic?

edit: I just googled it. It was extreme!

The only difference is the Russia fire is one off, maybe, but ours is now a yearly affairs and it can be prevented because it is caused by men.

[iri]

Yeah, forest fires.

Can they just do that? I'm mean, I'm sure they can, buy why would they? Was there some reason? That would really make me unhappy.

I have no idea. I sent them a ticket asking why, but nothing yet. I couldn't get in with my password, then when I went to the forgot my password, it said that my account didn't exist. Now all my old album links are dead as well.

It's super annoying.

Jack hammers outside my apartment window at 9am. Literal jack hammers directly outside my bedroom. Happen to have the day off too, it's like some ****ing joke.

Haha! I know the feeling well, my friend. It is tough getting older and knowing you can't keep up with the kids anymore. Being in your thirties does have it's perks though. At least we are through that teenage angst phase.

You mean that goes away?  I can't wait.

Indeed, took me until I was in my mid-twenties though. I still can go full emo if the stars align.

Okay. So, my car gets into an accident on Thursday. They say "it's totaled". Much sadness ensues. We are all: "Are you sure it is totaled? It is not an inexpensive car." and they are like "Yes, totaled, 100% for sure". So, we take a 3 hour drive to sign the paperwork to basically have the insurance company buy the car so they can pay off the loan and cut us a check. They say we will get the appraisal of the car sometime early next week. That brings me to today. My husband just called to find out the status on the claim, we went looking for a car, and want to know when we can buy it. The insurance guy on the phone says "oh, we were waiting on you to proceed with the repair, turns out it's not totaled. It is worth more than we thought."

WTF! What the ****ity ****!??! Do they have any idea how emotionally taxing this is!?! I'm over that car and all it's post crash issues. I don't WANT it. My husband, by some kind of weird, manly emotional breakdown, now doesn't want it. I'm ready to lose my mind. They better total it or I'm just...I don't even know. I'm like beside myself right now.

WOW.  It's like they don't even care about your feelings at all.  Unbelievable.  Due to some stupid mixup on their end "oops, my bad", you're dealing with this now.  Ugh.  I don't even know what I'd do.
