I know many things about astrophysics, programming, and technology in general. I am interested in psychology, but i don't know much about it. I can answer everything about the online game Roblox (especially when it comes to scripting), so if you have any questions, you can contact me here or on roblox (my username is ThouArtNoob).

  • Calculus Integration - Maximum and Minimum values?

    If f(x) is a continuous function that achieves a maximum value of 5 and a minimum value of -2 on the interval between x = 1 and x = 3, then, for F = ∫(from 1 to 3) f(x) dx, possible values of F are

    a. -4 < F < 10

    b. -6 < F < 15

    c. -14 < F < 14

    d. -4 < F < 6

    I'm not sure how to solve this, so I need to know how as well. I don't just want the answer.

    I tried to just make two separate parabolas (in theory they'd be connected since it is a continuous function) with one's max being 5 and roots at 1/2 and the other's min being -2 with roots 2 and 3 and adding their areas in my calculator, but I get 2.583, which is not conclusive whatsoever.

  • Mean Value Theorem?

    A marathoner ran a 26.2 mile race in 2.2 h. Show that at least twice, the marathoner was running at exactly 11mph.

    I know the Mean Value Theorem (if a function f is continuous on an interval [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), then there exists a value c such that f'(c) = [f(a) - f(b)] / [b - a].) What I don't understand is how I can prove that this marathoner ran 11mph twice, especially since I don't actually have the function.

  • What happens if I get a scholarship and then join the Marine Corps?

    I'm considering applying for scholarships and colleges, but I'm not sure as I might join the Marine Corps via the Marine Corps band (MEOP) and/or the NROTC scholarship program. Can I still use the scholarships after my service (I do still plan to go to college afterwards) or must I abandon them?

  • How good is my essay?

    I have a style analysis paper due tomorrow, and I was wondering if I could gain your opinion on my essay - what can I do to improve it?

    The analysis is over, obviously, "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass". Short summary:

    Frederick Douglass is finally freed from captivity. He feels good at first, and then realizes how lonely and wary he is and gives various metaphors comparing this lonely fear to being hunted, etc. He ends by saying you can't sympathize with him unless you have gone through the same degree of the trying circumstances he faced as a fugitive slave.

    Here it is:

    Freedom – The Bittersweet Treat

    Frederick Douglass' methods used in “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass” communicate contrasting emotions towards his newly found freedom: a feeling of jubilation and social isolation. Douglass has finally cast away his bonds to slavery, and enters into a period of pure peace of mind. However, his experience is short-lived when he realizes that he is utterly alone. The reader experiences mixed emotions to Douglass' powerful pleasure gone pitiful plight, and wishes for his overall happiness.

    Frederick Douglass' diction emphasizes the compassion and authenticity behind his reactions to liberation. Despite Douglass' “moment of … excitement” like one who has “escaped a den of hungry lions,” he was abruptly “seized with a feeling of great insecurity and loneliness.” Although Douglass is immensely elated at the shaking of his chains, he is thrust into another pair. Both Douglass and the reader despair at the cold reality - he has no companions in the enemy territory. As soon as he comes to this inevitable conclusion, a feeling of “fear”, “suffering”, and “distrust” overcome him – comparable to being “pursued by merciless men-hunters.” The omnipresent, suffocating blanket of bondage has persisted even in his freedom, and there is no escape for Douglass, who “can run but not hide.” The reader sees Douglass' depression and helplessness, but can offer nothing but pity to the scarred slave. All involved long for deliverance, but are forced to face the terrible truth, despite any initial, insufficient satisfactions: Douglass is still a slave, whether to a physical master or a dreary desolation.

    Frederick Douglass' techniques employed in the “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass” convey not only a feeling of euphoria, but also the aftereffects of it – solitary confinement in a dark world. The reader can only hope that Douglass and the rest of mankind may one day find their permanent salvation.

    The opening paragraph ends at "happiness.", the body paragraph ends at "desolation.", and the conclusion paragraph ends at "salvation." The forum does not allow tabs/spaces.

  • Keep iPod Touch video songs playing?

    Ok I have songs in my music library that are videos (mp4s).. If I select a normal song, I press the home button and it'll keep playing but not the same with videos, itll just stop playing those. unless I select a normal song on shuffle and it shuffles to the mp4, I have to play it and watch the video. Is there any way without syncing and converting them to mp3s that I can keep the audio going? Maybe an app or something it's jailbroken
