Topic | Have you ever caught a shiny pokemon? |
pirate109 06/01/12 9:01:00 PM #62 |
I've caught probably 50+ with chaining using pokeradar on pearl, but as for just finding them randomly, just one or two (and that's across all 18 main games). Don't remember well enough.

Topic | It has been too long since I've done calculus -_-'' |
pirate109 05/23/12 3:55:00 PM #26 |
6)
a) let f(x,y) = 4x^2 - 6xy + 4y^2 - 16, then compute df/dx and df/dy. then dy/dx = (df/dx)/(df/dy)
b) assuming you mean the value of dy/dx, just plug in the values to the expression found in a). i get -1 for both.
c) the graph of the equation has derivative -1 at the aforementioned points, ie the tangent line makes a 45 degree angle with the horizontal axis.
7 and 8 were answered, hope that's enough help :)

5)
a) solve f(x) = 0 for x
b) differentiate f (use chain or product rule for the first term). the intervals on which f is increasing are exactly those intervals on which f'(x) => 0, so find these.
c) tangent is parallel to horizontal axis when it has 0 derivative, so this reduces to solving f'(x) = 0.

4)
a) dv/(v+17) = -2 dt so integrating on both sides yields ln(v+17) = -2t + c. exponentiate both sides to get v in terms of t, then use the initial condition to get a particular solution. i get v = 30exp(-2t) - 17.
b) exp(-2t) tends to 0 as t tends to infinity, so the answer is -17.
c) solve v(t) = 20 for t.

3)
a) f is linear on each segment so this is easy to graph.
b) g(3) is just the integral of a linear function, hopefully he will know how to do this. my answer is 9. bit confused about how to find g'(-12) since iirc g' = f but f is only defined between -2 and 9 so we don't know what f(-12) is, maybe someone else has some input.
c) this is g'(2) = f(2)
d) g' = f is positive on [-2,4] so g is increasing on this interval, and thus the minimum is g(-2).

2)
a) v = ds/dt, a = dv/dt, i assume he knows how to differentiate polynomials.
b) probably best to sketch them in reverse order. a(t)=2t-16 is just a line so that's easy. v(t) is a quadratic with obvious roots (2 and 14) and one turning point (where a is 0, ie t=8), so sketch it from this. then, as in the question in the OP, s is a cubic with positive leading coefficient and you know its turning points so sketch it based on these.
c) it is speeding up when a>0, so t > 8. slowing down when a < 0, so t < 8.

a) the derivative of f at 0 is -12, so the normal line has equation y = x/12 + c, and since f(0) = 20, c=20.
b) a line is parallel to the x-axis when it has 0 derivative, so you want to find the points at which the derivative of f is 0. The derivative of f is a quadratic, so just use the quadratic formula.
c) f is a cubic, and from b) you know the stationary points, so sketch it from this. Add on the lines you found in b).

Sometimes, if I really love the game and just playing it normally is getting stale. I've done a lot of No Sphere Grid challenges in FFX as well as a 22% run of Metroid Prime (no optional upgrades, no charge beam/super missiles/grapple beam/spider ball/boost ball/thermal visor).

It was a good game. Some of the dungeons were really fun and I enjoyed most of the stuff inbetween. On the other hand, the bosses were a bit lacking overall, the flying was atrocious and the motion controls in general were a pain sometimes. I'd give it 8/10 and probably rank it 4th after OoT > LttP > TP

Pretty sure a lot of the people who voted the third option would have grown out of intentionally throwing their controllers now. I would never do it anymore (despite getting extremely angry with some games), but I did fairly often before I was like 13/14 and learned how to control anger better.
