it's an appeal to force, it's not an irrelevant conclusion because the conclusion is that english should be the official language, and it's not a false dichotomy because it's trying to convince us that english should be the official language. it's not setting up a dichotomy between the two languages, it's setting it up between those that accept it and those than don't, which wouldn't be false so it's an appeal to force.

Here you go (simple version of it):

English Wiki (which has an other version of it, choose whichever you need, but I guess the one in this post will do):

3/2?

edit: this isn't my answer, doesn't sine only go to 1?

Ok, this isn't really homework, but I need help with this cause I'm dump.

In a formula, bracket calculations usually are done first before anything else right?

(3+3*3) = 12 and yet ((3+3)*3) = 18

What I want to know is, what is THIS for? [ ] eg,

x = [(3 - 2) / 10] * 2

what does the [] do?

they serve the same function as parentheses, it's just so you don't get confused.

in high order maths they usually alternate between brackets and paranthesis or place brackets around the MAIN AREA while paranthesis are for subcalculations.

but yeah it's just paranthesis in most cases

except for, what comes to mind atm:
integration parameters
set definition

but in your case it's obviously neither.

No, an appeal to force would be like "Immigrants should be deported because if we don't get rid of them our economy will slip." The sentence earl chip mentioned is no appeal to force because there is no threat of force.

By the way, from that page:

i was trying to take my defeat gracefully by blaming earl chip for not using google, i found the page by copy pasting his questing exactly into google, that was like the third result.

i still think it's an appeal to force but false dichotomy is probably what your lecturer is looking for!

Kay nerds I need help with some calc BC.

Can someone explain to me what the Euler Method is for? It's a helluva lot of work; even though it's easy plugchug work, there's a lot of room for stupid mistakes and I just don't know what the hell it's for.

Sample question:

Quote

Consider the differential equation y'=x+y. Use Euler's Method with change-of-x (triangle x) = 0.1 to estimate y when x = 0.4 for the solution curves satisfying

(a) y(0) = 1
(b) y(-1) = 0

The teacher has us make a chart labeled x, y, and (triangleX)*y'. We start at (0,1) first, add .1 to x, plug the new x and the last y into the slope equation (what the fuck?) and then multiply that by (triangleX) which is .1 in this case, then add THAT to the previous y. We keep doing that until we hit x=0.4...what the hell. Then the y value is the answer.

What is going on when I'm doing those calculations? And shouldn't the answer be the same for both (a) and (b)?

"I would be totally embarassed to write this, even as a fakepost. it's not funny except in how you seem to think it's good. look at all the redundancies, for fuck's sake. "insipid semantics, despicable mediocrity" ugh gross gross. I want to take a shower every time I read your prose." -Steel

isn't the euler method just the dumb, inaccurate way to do integration? it's teaching you the basic principles behind integration before you learn the easy way so you can say "ohhhhh calculus makes everything so much better (:"

anyway you're estimating the area under the curve in pieces, right? and then you do midpoint and it's slightly more accurate, and then you do integration.

OK THIS IS IMPORTANT I HAVE NO IDEA

i have this picture of a greek jar or pot. on it there's 4 figures, an altar, and some statue thing. On the left of the altar is a guy in a robe with a beard and it looks like he has a spear. Next to him is a woman, she looks kinda shocked. she's got a crown sort of thing and she's looking at this oval on the altar. There's an altar with an oval on it and next to it there's a pillar with a little guy on top holding a plate and a staff/spear. to the right of them are two naked guys wearing laurels and like, a cloth. one has his hand on the other and both of them have staff things, one looks like it could be a double spear

there's a set of bull horns maybe on the wall.

what's the myth and who's involved? SPEED IS OF THE ESSENCE!!!
