Hi;

I was also told it was 1. But that is hard to believe.

Re: Limits
I don't think 1 is correct. Have you tried to plot it. It's wild.

Hmmm.
Any constraints on a or b?

It is our maths assessment syllabus.
Rinni told me that she's overheard our maths teacher telling, 'In the test, I will give you a terrible derivative problem. You won't even be able to touch it.'

I do not like minimalistic math. When I fight I use all the weapons available to me.
You won't even be able to touch it.
Maybe but EM will make that derivative run like a little girl from a bear.

Re: Limits
Yes, I figured as much. What is the sense of posing problems that no one can do? I would like to give him/her about 50 that he/she will never do. What does that prove? No computer, no mathematics!

Re: Limits
we've got three math teachers.
The other math teacher advices that you should always check your answer first with L'hopital, chain rule, etc before attempting anything

I know. I do not have any assets that are very 'enviable'.
yes, I know that too. You look back what you had been doing those days when you were my age, and you directly know what my course of action would be,

I am afraid not. Put in the same spot I will make some of the same mistakes I made before. New courses of action will be new mistakes.

Re: Limits
I think Bob hit a one in a million event.
I sat behind the most beautiful girl at school and she hated me. We did not get married.
I do not know how you will do because I know little about what your teachers will do. From my point of view I will take the Jack "TreeTop" Strauss theory.
