Yeah, I seriously doubt he left, remember that time he left for a month and everyone said "WEWT CLAN'S GONE"? I recall him saying he was grounded or something, that's probably what happened this time. He does have a personal life, people.

I think.

Anyway, peeve: stupid novelty t-shirts. I'm seeing a lot of those lately.

Peeve - I banged my hand real hard on a pole with a sharp edge at the shops yesterday. It really hurts, and it feels funny to flex my hand back.

Ewww.

I knocked it so hard that it broke the skin, but I didn't bleed.

None blood was shed

How the crap am I supposed to graph and find the domain, range, and horizontal asymptote of the function f(x) = 1-3(2^x)? For that matter, why will I ever need or want to?

I haven't done this in a loooooong time, but I think the domain is R, the range is -Infinity < y < 1, and the horizontal asymptote is y = 1.

Of course, I cheated by actually graphing the thing. Yay for PowerCalc.

Update: After doing maybe half of the assigned problems, I gave up. Tomorrow I'll ask my loathsome pre-cal teacher for help, but I'm not expecting too much. Though, Jones, I appreciate it. I was actually able to finish that one. The others, though...well, you don't happen to know how to solve the equation (e^4)^x X e^x^2 = e^12, do you?

Oh well. It's just homework.

(She really is loathsome, too.)

Well, my car just keeps getting better and better. Today I stop to get gas, only to find out that the lever inside my car that I use to open the flap broke. I was low on gas, and not able to fill up my tank. Luckily I used a screw driver to open it. Add on top of it that my battery died on Saturday, yeah, the resale value on my car isn't exactly rising.

_________________

Somehow this worked for me:
(e^4)^x * e^(x^2) = e^12
so (4*x) + (x ^ 2) = 12
x^2 + 4x = 12
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0
x = [s]-6 or[/s] 2

(e^4)^2 * e^(2^2) = e^8 * e^4 = e ^ 12 (=~ 162 754.791)

EDIT: Carp, you aren't online anymore. But oh well, tons of jobs use this right? Like, it's used whenever they need to calculate... important governmentstuff right? So, it's not like this is all for nothing right? Uh... right?

The "when am I going to need this" question comes up a lot in math. The only answer I can give most people is "you'll need it in a later math class". I actually use a lot of math in my classes right now. It helps to know some things about asymtopes, ranges, and domains when you've come up with a solution to a problem. While a computer does most of my math, it helps to know some idea of what the answer should be (in the neighborhood, say within the same order of magnitude). That way, I can tell if I can trust the answer the computer has given me or if I need to go back and check my code for errors (and I have to do that, A LOT)

I wish I could give you more encouragement, but that's about all I can say.

My peeve about math is that we actually use it for engineering stuff. I can't use that "Well, I'm not going to use it later" excuse. Darned math...

I have the nastiest homework problem I've ever had. It involves a VERY NASTY derivation. It's so nasty that the book doesn't dare get close to it. I'm at 3 1/2 pages right now, and I think I've got a little way to go.
On top of that, I have to produce some figures for my boss so he can present them tomorrow morning. My program is running to produce those figures, so I have about 2 hours to kill. I'm gonna give up on this derivation problem for tonight. My brain needs to rest.

What I wouldn't give to be back in high school or even back in undergrad.

Little peeve: People who don't know the difference between a wiki and Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a wiki. The H*R Wiki is a wiki. The H*R Wiki is not a Wikipedia! There's only one Wikipedia!

Peeve: Dudes looking at porn on a public compy. I have a guy sitting next to me looking at porn on a school compy. I want to tell him to look at it on his own time. There is a perfectly good place to look at that, it's called home.

That's when you embarass him by (loudly) pointing out that "that's some good porn" and (also loudly) ask for the link.
Oh, I'm fun in public places with easily embarassed people.

My roomate bought a new PS2 game a few days ago, and has been playing it nonstop. He has his own PS2 in his room, but insist that he plays out in the livingroom. So now I can't watch all three channels of TV that we have, or play something else since the other consoles are in the livingroom as well.

_________________

What game is it? If it is a good one then I can see why he is playing it so much.

I don't know, nor do I really care. It's just bothering me that I can't use my GameCube or XBox.

Peeve: Jeeps, and the people who drive them (and who don't work on farms, or have any practical need for them).

If you own a Jeep, I'm sorry. But I'm allowed to have a few irrational prejudices, dang it, and this is one of them. It's just whenever I see some middle-class executive type cruising along in his gigantic gleaming Jeep, I just think: "Lordy, that guy must be making up for something."

Or these "soccer moms" - as you Yanks call them - who buy these bloody tanks to keep their little Mandy and Jimmy safe. And apparently it doesn't matter how dangerous these behemoths are to anyone on the outside. Yeesh.

Right, rant over.

TOTPCheatGrin.

Continuing the automotive theme...

Peeve: My whole town for not knowing what brakes are. I get around town on my bike a lot and there isn't a day that goes by when I'm about to become grille meat on some guys truck because he's running a red light or just ignoring a stop sign. I've really got no problem with this happening once in a while, but every day?!? Also when a freking cop car fails to stop when I'm crossing a crosswalk.

Little hint, if going to Western Kentucky University, DO NOT try crossing at the crosswalks, you'll get CLABBERED . Just run across the middle of the road (jay walk), everyone will stop.

I'm so paranoid about the people who drive in this town, I'm afraid to just jump into traffic like that. At least a cross walk has a 10% survival rate.

I am thinking of getting a Jeep Cherokee only because the weather where I live is not known for being cooperative.

Don't get me started with them. I hate soccer moms. I make fun of them every chance that I get. They are always the same woman too, the over-protective, child worshipper who are satisfied with staying at home and pumping out a baby every 9 months.
