Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Er, more math, sorry.
The function f is differentiable on the interval 0 < x < 4. If f(1)=1 and f(3)=7, then for some 1 < c < 3, f'(c) must be equal to:
1, 2, 3, 4, or 6?
I thought I had an answer but was wrong. Anybody?
ETA: Also, 99? Just a cool number.
I want to send a link of that FAQ to all the boys I know and say, "This is how to do it."
I'd really rather not get beaten up repeatedly, thank you very much.
not only does a watched pot never boil, a watched inbox never receives mail.
Just so you all know, I'm doing math to put off figuring out how to get a count of our faculty as of a date in the past. I'm not sure my brain's sufficiently present.
"Don't fear the cereal" was originally going to be the title of Blue Oyster Cult's biggest hit. Then they realized the Grim Reaper was potentially more terrifying than Captain Crunch. True story.

My best guess would be f(c) = 4, assuming c = 2, but it's just a guess.

Can you imagine the power of an infinite number of Theremins, bringing down defenses, shattering eardrums.
Somehow "piercing" and "woo-woo-woo" don't quite go together in my mind.

3. It's the mean value theorem: for some value on the interval, the slope must be equal to the average slope, which is (7-1)/(3-1) = 3.
Jon, that is just about the sweetest story ever. Even with the Tex Avery moments, just so damn sweet. Millions of congratulations all over again!
