Can someone help me with the meaning of this quote! Thank you! (Points)?
This is one of many quotes that we are supposed to explain for a hw assignment. I would really appreciate if someone would help explain it. Thanks. “Monotonously the lorries sway, monotonously come the calls, monotonously falls the rain. It falls on our heads and on the heads of the dead up in the line, on the body of the little recruit with the wound that is so much to big for his hip; it falls on Kemmerich’s grave; it falls on our hears.
Can someone help explain these two problems to me? I am very confused on how to solve them. Thank you?
2. The height y as a function of time t is a quadratic: y(t) = at^2 + bt + c When timing the jump it is best to start off with y(0)=0 so c=0: y(t) = t(at + b) so if you time the jump from lift-off to landing and obtain t0 as the flight time then the second root of the quadratic is at t=t0: y(t0) = 0 = t0(at0 + b) b = -at0 acceleration under gravity is y''(t) = 2a = -g so: y(t) = t(gt0/2 - gt/2) so we find the range of values for t for which y(t) > 10 (gt0)t - gt^2 - 20 > 0 t^2 - (t0)t + 20/g < 0 The roots of the quadratic expression are given by: t = t0/2 +- (1/2)sqrt(t0^2 - 80/g) so the time above 10 ft is given by the difference of the two solutions: time above 10 ft = sqrt(t0^2 - 80/g) using the appropriate value for g (I.e. In feet per sec^2) I don't know any alternative methods for solving quadratic inequalities.
Can someone please explain this to me? Thank you?
What we see, in your picture, is a circle with centre at P, tangent to the x-axis and the y-axis. (therefore the (x, y) position of P will have the same value for x as it does for y) It appears that the circle extends to x=1 (at the same level as point P) and to y=1. This would imply that the radius is 0.5 and that the point P is at (x, y) = (0.5, 0.5) or (1/2, 1/2) -- same thing. In the box, under the drawing, there is a heading "QuantityA" with a symbol "x" under it, and another heading "QuantityB" with a "90" under it. We have no idea what "QuantityA" means (and no idea about QuantityB either). Therefore it is impossible, for us, to make sense of choices A, B and C in the answers (where we need to compare QuantityA with QuantityB).
Can somebody explain to me how to do with steps this operation? Thank you guys.
I'm assuming you're question is, how do you handle such an expression. In this case, you're coefficients are really helping you. Before we get into solving the actual problem though, we should look at a general approach and thinking. If we want to reduce this polynomial fraction, we have to first take a look at what we have. In this case, there is some polynomial in x and y on top, and a single term in x on the bottom. This is good, because if we were to have a more complicated denominator we would have to move over to partial fraction decomposition, or some good old brute force ignorance (a very powerful tool!). Now in any case, we have two routes that are easy to take. 1: we can attempt to divide out all the like terms between the top and bottom (that is, say every term had a 2x factor, which could be canceled) right away. This isn't too difficult, but sometimes the larger fractions can be intimidating. To get around this we have option 2: if you remember, fractions with common denominator can be added so that the denominator stays the same, and all numerator terms are added. Here, we can do the reverse. We can split every addition or subtraction into a stand alone fraction, then divide out. This is really doing the exact same procedure as before, but splitting the fraction and looking at it term by term can help, and it also allows you to get around terms that don't cleanly factor.So getting back to your question. We see that we only have a single term in the denominator, so let's try factoring that out from the top. Looking at the coefficients in the numerator, they are all divisible by 7, so let's factor that out, giving us: (5x^4+7x^3y^3–12x^3-x^2)/x^2Similarly, we can see that every term has at least an x with the power of 2, so we can factor out an x^2 from each term and we should be pretty well condensed. This gives us: 5x^2+7xy^3–12x-1
What is the most sarcastic phrase to thank someone with?
Always depends on the situation. I unfortunately have a natural talent for making most phrases to someone sound sarcastic.Some favorites to try“Finally I can rest easy tonight”“If it wasn’t for you, well…”“I cant thank you enough” The tone really needs to be played out well here“Does anyone else get this level of help from you”“If you ever need the exact same thing, you know where I am”“Thats most of my worries this year sorted, thank you”I could go on ad-nauseum.One of the biggest factors to sarcasm is tone. You need to strike a line between sincerity and mockery.
Can anyone explain the literary meaning of the poem "Invictus" by William Henley?
Invictus" was written by the English poet William Ernest Henley. The poem is a short Victorian, written in 1875 and published in 1888. The poem was originally untitled, but in 1900 Arthur Quiller-Couch included the poem along with the title "Invictus" in his book The Oxford Book of English Verse. In order to completely understand the meaning of this poem, it is important to know the life of William Ernest Henley. As a young boy, Henley developed tuberculosis of the bone. At the age of 25, the tuberculosis spread to his foot. Physicians decided that in order to safe Henley's life, they must amputate his leg below the knee. While in the hospital bed, Henley wrote the poem "Invictus."The poem "Invictus" is made up of sixteen lines and is divided into four stanzas. The rhyme scheme is abab-cdcd-efefef-ghgh. The writing is short and contains just eight syllables to each line. By linking the poem to the author's life, it can be easily analyzed."Out of the night that covers me," describes the troubles of his early life. He is covered "pole to pole" with something terrible. Luckily, his soul is unhindered."In the fell clutch of circumstance" continues the story. He has high spirits, regardless of what has happened. His body may have blood stains, but he is not ashamed.The third stanza states that even though he may not know what is to come, he is unafraid and ready for life.The last stanza states that even though his future may be established due to the disease, he will continue on and control his own fate and soul with whatever time he has.
What is the best response to someone if he is saying "thank you" to me?
People don't remember what you said or did to them, but, they do remember how you made them feel. Usually the following are the kinds of responses which people give to someone's “thank you”:The average one: “No worries or no problem”. To some extent it shows that whatever you did wasn't a big deal for you but I consider it as an average response because “who said there was a ‘problem’ in the first place?”The good one: “You’re welcome”. I consider it as a good response and I believe most of you reading this answer must be using this more frequently. Why? Because average people don't read such a good answer which you are reading :D Alright, jokes apart, but saying “You’re welcome” is always a safe bet. But still there is a tendency of the response to go unnoticed. So what's the best option? Read further.The phenomenonal one: “It’s my pleasure’. It’s quite rare to hear such response but when someone says it, people do remember them. It conveys a feeling that helping them out was pleasure to them, and you don't let them feel that you have done some favour to them. So it's always a good choice.Other phenomenal ones: “anytime” and “thank you”(yes, saying thank you back to the person who thanked you). Responding by saying “anytime” is also quite good. It conveys a feeling that you are ready to help the other person anytime and it's better than “You're welcome” which may sound rude to some people as if the thank was expected.And the creepy one: “pleasure is all mine”. Guys use this mostly, maybe because they want to sound different as they don't want to use the same clichéd sentences like 'you're welcome' and 'that's absolutely okay'. They actually don't know but this sentence makes them look desperate and clumsy at times. And the one to whom this sentence is delieverd is mostly thinking out loud that “sorry, I've a boyfriend”.(This was suggested by a female friend of mine).There are other responses as well which you can give when someone says “thank you”. Such as today a friend of mine said to me “Thanks for helping” to which I responded “that’s what good friends do for one another” and she responded back by saying “sure they do”. So I think it worked quite well :DThanks for reading. Now let's see how will people respond to me :P
How do you explain this poem's meaning?
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.But, naturally, there is more to the poem. It raises (at least) three questions for the reader to answer or ponder about herself.Who is the Lord? The imminent answer that comes to mind is the Christian God, which is called the Lord from time to time. Though, this is not necessarily so, depending on the experience of the reader. What we know is that the Lord commands the poem's I to say "We". Why "We"? Conformism? Fellowship? To be a part of something bigger? We could probably answer "Why 'We'?" with at least two answer, because of different perspectives (God's and the poem's self's). Who are we or they? I'd answer with two discourses, which can be used simultaneously: All the persons who are not a part of the poem's self (in the second part of the poem) can either be real persons or parts of the ego's identity. Therefore, it is possible to read the second part of the poem as a rejection of being a part of a specific subset of people, or/and as a denial of some parts of the personality. If the reader chooses the second interpretation, the first question gets intricate. That would mean that the Lord could be an integrated part of the ego's mental structuring process (I'd like to recommend a great book on the subject: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind).Who is the poem's I? The obvious answer is someone who tries to go against the Lord, but finally gives in, hence why resistance is futile and you will be assimilated. We know that the acceptance of the Lord took "a horde of years and tears" (i.e. time and agony). Also, the rebellious goes down like a schoolboy, full of shame. Therefore, the ego's choice was not easy. But was it the best choice regarding the conditions given? Was it inevitable? What happened? I'd say that the ego accepted the Lord and the others as a part of herself and that the acceptance was hard to achieve. That is the essence of the ego, and what the poem communicates. It does not take a stand whether the acceptance was good or bad. Nor does it state whether the Lord is oppressive, loving or both. And that is probably why the poem strikes an intriguing chord inside me. Thank you for sharing it.
What does this quote from Frankenstein mean?
this is most likely an allusion to Milton's Paradise Lost. Lucifer says, "Farewell, remorse! all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good." The creature has been abandoned and has henceforth been unable to adhere to "goodness." The creature is rejecting responsibility for his actions, and blaming Frankenstein for being an ignoble creator. The monster has not been manufactured for good, and can only act malevolently, causing his own creator despair. In the same way that Lucifer attacks God's most beloved creation, the creature destroys what Frankenstein loves.
Is "thank you" the best reply for "I love you"?
It's an awkward situation when "I love you" must be answered with "Thank you" because it is a sincerely beautiful emotion to receive from another person.There is no best response, per se, but there is the response the other person wants to hear. That being the validation and reciprocation of the trust and value that love implies. Anything less than that can (and very possibly will) be interpreted as a form of rejection.The worst response to "I love you", however, is "I love you too", if the person doesn't mean it. So, whatever the case, never force those words, as insincerity will always be followed by angst.To diffuse the tension, however, if you are on the receiving end, consider these other fun ways to respond to "I love you": What are some funny (but nice) things to respond with when (s)he says "I love you"?
