Homework:
What is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of y = x^3 at the point (2,8) ?
12

Consider the parabola given by the equation y = x^2 + 4x - 5. At which point on the graph of this parabola is the slope of the tangent line equal to 10?
(3,16)

The line y = 2x - 9 is tangent to the parabola y = x^2 + ax + b at the point (4,-1). What are the values of a and b?
-3,-6 respectively.

circle with equation x^2 + y^2 = 25. Which is the equation of the tangent line to the circle at the point (3,4)?

I wish. It is very lonely at a uni.

And pardon my mistake, I am 13 years old (I believe I am not allowed to release my age if I am under 13). eek

Bobbym, all? You already know that I go to Yale.

Ah. I am in 8th (or rather university- either way, I am 12 years old). wavesleep

When done by you, there is no need for reviews. ANyways, videos would only be needed for the simplest of concepts (i.e adding) and for the hardest (i.e limits). The middle is fairly easy to comprehend.

I presume he is in the 10th standard.

50 million questions for Ganesh to check!

Firstly, I want to apologize to Ganesh for bringing up irrelevent posts. However, whoever was disappointed in you is unable to comprehend what you are potentially capable of (with all due respect to your parents) and what you already have accomplished. As for me being nice, for this matter I was not. I was simply being honest.

In UK, US and most EU countries, embryo and stem cell experiments are banned, other than abortion. That basically prevents biologists from furthur advancing our biotechnology.

Now you are being modest. You have answered majority of the questions correctly. Frankly, a person who doesn't call you brilliant is an idiot.

Thank you Ganesh. Boobym, you sure are doing brilliant on this thread.

The spell check doesn't work in quick post.

Frankly, I really like the MIF website. However, there is only one thing missing. As the title implies, it would be video tutorials! Video tutorials would advance this site in many ways, and offer even more clear explanations (if that is possible).

Is it possible to have a spell check on this forum? Honestly, I like to type rapidly, thus leading to several typographical and spelling errors. It would be much more convinient to simply a an installed Spell Check so we do not have to go through our posts again just for the otential spelling errors.

#1698 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Introduction to Calculus » 2012-10-11 02:44:34

Brilliant. But frankly, I believe that you should create a counterpart site to MIF. That allows you to create more advanced tutorials on a slightly different site.

Frankly, no. Unless people surpass the boundaries of ethical issues which make our technology as diminutive as possible. Whenever we try to advance our lifestyle (i.e cloning), ethical issues are raised which results in the experiments being prohibited. Take stem cell research for example.
