1/3

Functions describe the relationships between quantities and the parameters they are a function of.

I was under this impression as well. I actually just read a paper from the University of Pittsburgh that proved without a doubt that Diamond is one of the hardest metals (If not THE hardest metal) known the man.

People should be arrested for trolling this hard.

I recognized that in my post. Considering, however, that everyone in the major probably has to take the class, it would make sense that if the gender-major distribution is very skewed then the class distribution would have a good chance of being skewed.

>>4169802
The assumption was that you used a constant scale. If you weren't using a constant scale then you should've specified as nobody would assume anything other than a constant scale. Under that assumption the integrals were correct.

Please, I don't need to see anymore poorly drawn paint pics demonstrating what you've learned in remedial math for econ majors.

Are you suggesting that transmission rates are not independent of the number of times you've had sex?

(1-.0002)^x = .5
x =~ 3600

>>4169767
Your derivatives were linear. There was no need for integration by parts.

Did you guys know that unprotected heterosexual intercourse for circumsized males only has a .02% transmission rate?

You could have raw-dog sex with some chick with full blown AIDS every day for 10 years and you'd still only have a 50/50 shot of getting HIV.

>>4169751
I integrated your graph of the derivatives to demonstrate that they did not produce your original graph.

And yes I've already mentioned that you are my intellectual superior in every way. Newton died a virgin because he was saving himself on the off chance that he might live long enough to see you pubesce.

PS: I know pubesce isn't a real word but you just make me so hot and bothered that I can't think straight.

That's odd. I don't know the distribution of genders in individual classes but at my school there are 87 females majoring in women's studies and 0 males majoring in it. I would assume the classes would have more females in them.

Constants of integration / arbitrary constants from the scaleless graph.

Caught me.

>>4169707
Yup. I should've known better than to try to match wits with someone who has taken an introductory microeconomics course.

>>4169702
Nobody could be this stupid... I'm going to bed before I get trolled harder.

>this is NOT NOT the price-equilibrium model
So it is?

>its a cost benefit analysis
No it's not; it's a retard rolling his face across his keyboard with paint open.

> And there is no law or function of markets
Holy shit. You really are taking your first micro class aren't you?

Look you made a fucktarded graph where you point out the point where the net benefit of research is 0. You labeled that point "We are here". Seeing as you have no idea where society would fall on your horribly wrong graph I can only assume you think the point is some sort of equilibrium or goal where you think we should be. We should actually be trying to maximize net benefit which occurs when marginal cost = marginal benefit. Also your graphs of the "derivatives" are completely wrong and you have yet to address this.

>>4169655
Can you be wrong on any more levels? If it is the cumulative cost and benefit then why would you set the equilibrium at the intersection? That would imply that we would keep funding physics research even when the cost of additional research outweighs the benefits. You would have us fund research until we get no net benefit from it?

Furthermore, your "marginal analysis" (holyshitlol economistsrjokes) is completely wrong. Your derivatives are P=cQ and P=-cQ+k when your original curves are clearly not P=(c/2)Q^2+a and P=(-c/2)Q^2+kQ+b.

>>4169629
Fine, have it your way. Despite the fact that everything I've said has been grammatically correct and transparent I'll restate it bluntly for you.

You are an idiot. You presented /sci/ with an observation as if it were profound when it was anything but. Everyone here realizes that equilibrium is reached when marginal benefit = marginal cost (by the way your graph is wrong the cost/benefit should be marginal not absolute). You're fucking up a perfectly good science and math board with your inane shit.

>>4169623
Stronk ninja delete.

It was a smart move though. It's a tad pots and kettles to call someone out on their grammar when your own post has at least 10 grammatical errors.

The pool of information is an abstract term for the sum of all knowledge accrued by humanity. It is a cesspool because people such as yourself naively attempt to contribute to it without understanding the extent of their own ineptitude. Is there some other language with which I could communicate with you? English can't possibly be your native tongue.

No I am not a creationist.

>>4169541
The pool of useful information is convoluted by inane shit. You are that muddling. Holy shit. Learn to parse English.

>>4169476
Holy shit; everything you say is just so incredibly asinine. I'm not going to give you a full response but I feel obliged to say I assumed you were taking your first economics course and that convolution is indeed what I intended to say. Convolution can mean excessively muddled; I'm sure you've heard the word convoluted.

Feel free to be as dismissive as you like, but note that not heeding the advice given here will only be a detriment to you and those whose time you waste whilst they attempt to teach you. You most likely have the capacity to graduate with a physics degree; you might even excel in your classes. Know however that to succeed you will be reduced to memorizing formulas and algorithms. You don't have the aptitude for true understanding or creativity.

I didn't say it would make it difficult; I said it would make it prohibitively difficult.
