  - Did she get (-inf, +1/2)? -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 23, 18:07 1
    - yes sir! -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 18:07
  - Marry that woman! Oh, nevermind. -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 17:58
- Uh, yeah. I'll break out my out calculus texts and get back to you. Sorry. -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 17:58 3
  - wife Googled it :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:58 2
    - Cool, sorry about earlier. Wasn't sure if they were introducing calculus concepts but not doing the actual derivatives, evaluations and meanings. -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 18:02 1
      - no worries; I appreciate any and all assistance -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 18:04
"Damn, bro! That outfit is normcore as hell!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You look like if Tom Hanks fucked an REI." -- nm - Krusty Nov 23, 17:50

- Beak, I posted a proposed solution on B2. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 23, 17:33 13
  - so the answer isn't a specific number; it is the equation tyou posted? -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:40 9
    - The answers are - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 23, 17:42 3
      - this worked! Thanks guys!! One more question coming shortly, sooooooo glad she is getting the fuck out of calc next term -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:50
      - is this the -1.6 and +1.6? -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:44 1
        
        Closer to +/-0.82 (the little red dots on the graph) -- nm* - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 23, 17:45
    - they're looking for a specific number for Y, not an equation... -- nm* - Beaker Nov 23, 17:42 4
      - IIRC this approaches from -inf(inity) to +inf. So greatest increasing should be -(2/3)^0.5 and decreasing (2/3)^0.5. -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 17:46
      - and the -1 and 1 didn't work either -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:42 2

        The amount of time since I have done any significant amount of calculus would have graduated university by now. -- nm - Reagen Nov 23, 17:52
  - y'' = 0 gives him the inflection points. Which agreed will be steepest slopes. Could be technically correct, but phrasing was unclear. -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 17:38 2
    - Right, it changes concavity there, but I wanted to follow the phrasing of the problem. Also, Wolfram Alpha likes my answer. -- (link) - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 23, 17:41 1
      - Oh, not questioning the answer. Wasn't sure if they were looking at advanced math (i.e. Calculus). -- nm - VMan Nov 23, 17:42
- we'll try it, thanks alot! -- nm - Beaker Nov 23, 17:32
*Chelsea Peretti groan* -- (link) - Reagen Nov 23, 17:24 4
