ive been sittin inside all day working on my calc homework, and its just one hurdle after another. i can do the problems from the book fine, but then the problems on the practice test **** me in the ass. blah, ive got a test tommorow and a quiz tuesday and a final thursday. up mine. **** you. up yours.

this server is slow as dicks too, what the ****?
 
I noticed the server's been slow again too...what up with that?

And calc homework sucks majour balls...I know.
 
just another week of school for me. then i get my actual vacation for 2 weeks then back to school.
 
I always had the same problem w/calc. Thought I was doing good and understood everything until the test. Then I was proven incorrect.

Good luck Bryan. Don't get frustrated, I'm sure you'll do just fine.
 
im with u on calc...it is such a pain in the ass...i have a midterm on wednesday, the 2nd of 3 tests which account for 90% of my grade...first one i got a 53% on it...so if i fail this one, i pretty much dont have a chance of passing this class...
 
i just look to the bright side. a movie on the last day since we have nothing else to do :) then six flags to celebrate.

yup, same.
 
two things bryan.

(1) Come to fullsail and quit bitching, even RISM is here now

(2) Konspiracy, you have the worst sig ever. Rice.
 
i have to calculate the cost for this box, alright

its got a square base
Dexter750: (x by x)
Dexter750: and height h
Dexter750: material for the sides costs 3 dollars sq/ft
Dexter750: and for the base is 5 dollars sqft
Dexter750: also, there is no top
Dexter750: so its cost of base + cost of 4 sides, right?
Dexter750: 5(x^2)+4(3(xh))
Dexter750: makes sense, right
Dexter750: volume is fixed at 20 cubic feet
Dexter750: so V=x^2h
Dexter750: consequently 20 = x^2h
Dexter750: to get the h out of the cost function, solve the volume one for h
Dexter750: 20/x^2 = h
Dexter750: plug that back into the cost one, right, and you've got all x's

12(x(20/x^2) + 5(x^2) = Cost of the Crackrock storage box
^ did i get that correctly?

The company that mfgs these containers has determined it can afford a cost of at most 160 per container. What dimensions for the container produce a cost of at most 160. Explain the procedure you used to solve this problem.

solving that b**** of a cost equation for 160 doesnt work...because no x will ever make it equal exactly 160 (i been playing with an excel sheet i made and my graphing calculator...it wont even solve for x.....so what the fux to me)...

if you have a box, you have 4 sides and 2 bases, right? So wouldn't it be 2(5(x^2)) + 4(3(xh))?

I'll look at it more when I get some timez :)

yeah but he says that the box comes topless! whoo!
 
Dude screw calc, i had a class last semester called Circuits theory. Hardest class ever. I answered 41 points out of 150 on the final exam. And they gave me a raw score of 50! and a weighted score of 50% when all was said and done. i passed the class and then promptly changed my major!
