I think this might be the most advanced material anyone has asked for on this thread LMAO 

 

God speed.

Hello, so basically I flopped a really bloody easy Q on surds 

 

It was in this format: 

Instead of only multiplying both top and bottom by only root 5 when rationalising, I multiplied by (3 x root 5)

 

Would that make the final answer wrong? Given that I've simplified? 

 

Don't judge me

Don't judge me 

 

3sqrt(5)/3sqrt(5) is still 1, so multiplying that fraction by it shouldn't change your answer. The 3 will divide out anyway.

It wouldn't have been a big deal since it's still a 1:1 ratio.

 

You got 6rad5 / 45 right? If you simplified you would have gotten the correct answer which is 2rad5 / 15

 

Was it a short answer question or multiple choice?

Oh okay, thank you! I was quite dead today so I can't remember if I simplified to the very end or even did the question right, but if that's the case I should've at least still gotten a mark, lmao. I really gotta get my shit together 

 

Ahaha, it was short answer and more complicated than just this, I can't remember the answer but it ended up as something minus something, all over something. 

 

Thanks again~

what is the answer to this? limits can still exist at holes right, so is the answer I and II?

It's still a month for this project and I'm trying my best to gather everything I can as resources so here it is

 

We are tasked to design a Microprocessor Unit with the following minimum requirements:

• 8 bit data bus
• 16 bit address bus
• ALU
• Defined Register Set
• Control Unit
• Defined Addressing modes

Problem is, this lecture would be done a week or two prior to the deadline and waiting for it would mean wasting of 2 weeks. So I'm here, asking if anyone has some experience with this project and might give some tips or resources?

Currently I have Carpinelli and SAP 1/2/3 by Malvino.

As newbies, we're still a bit lost on how to start and reading Carpinelli and Malvino is a pain as it is very hard to understand everything by now. Any help will be greatly appreciated!  

 

Peace out!

Look thru the Harvey Mudd Digital Logic labs - was really useful at the beginning of my class. There's also a couple of textbooks that I used that aren't Carpinelli, I'll PM you later with the names coz I don't have them with me right now... The requirements aren't awfully hard to achieve, if you understand how a microprocessor is supposed to do and how it's supposed to work (and look at other architectures as an example) it shouldn't take you a month. I don't want to type a long-ass essay here but we can talk more about this via PM if you want explanations

how does this sound so far?

 

 This week’s critique will be on the History Channel documentary “Miracle Rising South Africaâ€. To give a background on what this documentary is about History Channel states that this is centered on the legacy that is the transformation of South Africa's political system that began it's first free and fair elections on April 1994. Retold through the people who has lived through this historic event, both local and international - the documentary will explain how South Africa was about to avoid war and move foward to a brighter future or as as Archbishop Desmond Tutu coined the phrase, "a rainbow nation."

Can someone please just tell me if this is a thesis statement? 

"The pursuit of an internal desire can have profound external consequences."

 

I'm not sure if it is too literal (as in it can't be 'argued' because it does happen in my texts). Is it conceptual enough, and if not, how can I make it conceptual? 

 

Thank you so much~

in my opinion, it's a very weak thesis.

a thesis statement should state your standpoint but also include your claims while keeping it vague enough to be explained in your paragraphs

 

ex.

"The pursuit of an internal desire can have profound external consequences in ways such as increased exuded pheromones, sexual tension, and aching joints" <-- I'm assuming this is supposed to be a informative essay

(tho if you wanted to use this, it has to have parallel structure. I just made it up on the spot. lol)

 

it's always safe to do 3 claims because most teachers require a 5 paragraph essay

Ahh yeah, some time after posting this I was told to make it a lot more specific and detailed (so I'm expanding on the external consequences, definitely lol)

 

Ahaha, it's actually for a comparative essay on two novels and I'll break the actual whole thesis down into 3 points.

 

It's okay if it's weak, I made it up on the spot haha. It's only the general idea - I was just worried if it's even a thesis at all.

 

Thank you so much!!

                               Cleopatra VII | Historiographical Essay

            There is quite a number of misconceptions that has been passed done through history about the life of Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic queen of Egypt. Much of what has survived during the two millenniums since she died was written by her enemies as known as the Roman historians. She was born in Egypt in

69 BC of Macedonian decent. Cleopatra had a traditional Macedonian name which,

in its original Greek form began with a "k’ even though the name is generally translated as "glory to her father' its meaning may be more accurately understood as renowned in her ancestry. There are at least thirty-three Cleopatras known from ancient time, and with the origins of her famous name rooted in myth and the forces of nature, the first Cleopatra being the daughter of the North Wind Boreas.

          Most historians whom have written about Cleopatra agree that she is one

of the most famous women in history regardless of the fact that there are very little details available about her life. Although she is normally regarded as being a great beauty, the ancient writers focus on praising her intelligence and charm over her physical attributes. The historian Plutarch writes "Her own beauty, so we are told, was not of that incomparable type that immediately captivates the beholder. But the charm of her presence was irresistible and there was an attraction in her person and in her conversation, that along with a peculiar force of character in her every word and action, laid all who associated with her under her spell.".

                It is a common historical fact that she was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the royal family who ruled Egypt during the Hellinistic Period-323 BC

to 146 BC of Ancient Egypt. She is therefore, often considered to be a descendant of one of Alexander the Great's generals who had seized control over Egypt after Alexander's death. Cleopatra's father was King Ptolemy XII though they aren't many historical records to prove who Cleopatra VII's mother was, it is mentioned that she may have been her father's sister, Cleopatra V Tryphaena. She also had one older sister, Berenike IV, one younger sister, Arsinoe, and two younger brothers both named Ptolemy.

        Duane W. Roller speaks about how like the rulers before him, Ptolemy XII's court was filled with much violence and corruption. Cleopatra learned her political lessons from her father. She watched his humiliating efforts to maintain himself on the throne of Egypt by buying the support of powerful Romans. On one trip to Rome, Ptolemy XII's daughter, Berenice, seized the throne. Dr. Roller also mentions that her rule however, did not last as she was put to death upon her father's return to Alexandria. Cleopatra had known all too well that within the royal house of the Ptolemies, one of the most dangerous enemies of all were her closets family. It was around this time that she knew her main obstacles to her own ambition were her siblings, two small boys and a young girl. Even though all of them were considered divine since birth, Cleopatra had always been her father’s favorite.

         Around the age of 14, Cleopatra was named the joint regent and deputy by her father with limited powers. The Ptolemies, insisting on maintaining the Macedonian-Greek superiority, had ruled in Egypt for centuries without ever learning the Egyptian language or embracing the customs. Unlike other Ptolemies that refused to learn Egyptian, it was a well-known fact that Cleopatra learned the Egyptian language and studied other languages such as Medes, Parthians, Jewish, Arabic, Syrians, Trogodytae, and Ethiopians. Plutarch writes, “It was a pleasure merely to hear the sound of her voice, with which, like an instrument of many strings, she could pass from one language to another; so that there were few of the barbarian nations that she answered by an interpreter.â€.

      After her father passed in 51 BC, Cleopatra and her younger Ptolemy XIII became the joint monarch of Egypt. Cleopatra was eighteen, and her younger brother was ten. Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII did get married to each other, but scholars often state how she explicitly said that she wanted to be the sole ruler and had no intention of sharing power. The first three years of their rule were the most challenging. It was filled with economic failure, famine, deficient floods of the Nile, and political conflicts. After some time, Cleopatra began to break apart from Ptolemy and rule out his name from all the official documents. However, in 48 BC her brother Ptolemy XIII became sole ruler. She did attempt to gather an army of her own to bring about a rebellious uprising, it was in vain and she was exiled by her brother.

       Historical records show that while Cleopatra was in exile, Pompey got into

a Roman Civil War. He was defeated at the Battle of Pharsalus which led to him arriving at Alexandria for safety but ended up being executed by orders of Ptolemy for a way to be in favor of Caesar. But instead, Caesar ended up furious over the act Ptolemy committed. Caesar captured the Egyptian capital, dethroning Ptolemy

and imposing himself as the mediator between Cleopatra and Ptolemy. Caesar then restored Cleopatra to the throne as sole ruler, after this Ptolemy XIII had fled and drowned in the Nile.

         Due to the lack of surviving accounts, we may never know whether it was Cleopatra's beauty, the fact that she was a direct descendant of Alexander the Great, her courage or her charisma which had Caesar attracted to her but shortly after this point they became lovers. In 47 B.C., Cleopatra gave birth to a son by Caesar, Ptolemy Caesar, he was known by the Egyptian people as Caesarion, or Little Caesar. However, Caesar never officially declared that the boy was his child, and historical debate continues over whether he was truly the father or not. Cleopatra eventually followed Caesar when he returned Rome, but did returned to Egypt around 44 B.C, around the same year she returned to Egypt Caesar had been assassinated. Historians often debate whether Cleopatra’s visit to Rome is what added fuel to the flame of the conspirators planning Caesar’s assassination.

         Soon after a conflict began to build between Caesar's allies (Mark Antony, Octavian and Lepidus) and his assassins (Brutus and Cassius). Both sides wanted assistance from Egyptian support. After waiting for the right time, Cleopatra

sent four Roman legions who were stationed in Egypt (as ordered by Caesar) to

support the allies. In 42 B.C., after defeating the forces of Brutus and Cassius in the battles of Philippi, Mark Antony and Octavian divided power in Rome. In 41 BCE, Cleopatra had been summoned to appear before Antony in Tarsus to answer charges she had given aid to Brutus and Cassius.

              There has been evidence that Cleopatra's first meeting of Marc Antony occurred long before this famous meeting in Tarsus. But the meeting at Tarsus is an important event which all historians discuss. The reason for this is because it was the beginning of not only their political alliance, but also their romantic one. It is widely known that Cleopatra and Antony spent much time together but Weigall states that Cleopatra was planning to break up Antony and Octavian and ‘set them at each other’s throats’. Weigall often speculates Cleopatra’s true intentions with Antony when she began to get close to him. Mary Hamer states how “The queen she was more fascinating now at twenty-eight than when as an inexperienced girl, she had conquered the heart of Julius Caesar.â€

          Stacy Schiff mentions that it was around this time that Antony left his

wife Octavia Minor and never saw her or Rome again. There are often scholarly discussions on the possibility that Cleopatra and Antony were married in Antioch. But even though there are not many records of their marriage by the classical authors, the evidence is within the fact that the Egyptian coins of the same era

had the image of Cleopatra on one side and Antony on the other. Dr. Tyldesley mentions a letter to Octavian where Antony had referred to Cleopatra as his wife even though Antony was still legally married to Octavia, the way this letter was written showed proof that he also considered himself married to Cleopatra.

Dr. Tyldesley also points out the fact that since Egyptian marriage only required

a couple should live together for the purpose of begetting children, Cleopatra did

not have to be married to Antony for her children to be considered legitimate. Historians speculate that their marriage may have occurred not too long before event of the Donations of Alexandria (34 B.C).

              Dr. Tyldesley believes that the Donations of Alexandria is what mainly caused the final shattering of Antony and Octavian’s relationship.  Other accounts have stated that Antony ‘antagonized his rival†by declaring Caesarion as Caesar’s real son and legal heir, rather than Octavian (whom the former Roman leader had adopted) is what caused their rivalry to come to light. Although this rivalry was mainly between Antony and Octavian, Cleopatra ended up as the foreign enemy and Octavian had declared war against her. Walker mentions how the Roman people were so prejudiced against Cleopatra that it allowed him enough public support which is what he used to be able to declare war.

                Around the time of 31 B.C, Cleopatra and Antony brought their armies together as one to attempt to battle Octavian in a sea battle at Actium on Greece's west coast.  However, the result of this battle did not go in favor of the Egyptians’ side, forcing Antony and Cleopatra to flee back to Egypt for safety. Walker states how the Battle of Actium “was a mythic event in world history†and was seen by the Romans as the “ultimate triumph of civilization over barbarism.â€. The events that had occurred during the Battle of Actium have caused confusion for historians up to this day and there are competing theories about Cleopatra’s and Antony’s true intentions when they went into this battle.

        Antony soon after did end up returning to the battlefield, where he was

falsely informed that Cleopatra had died. When he heard this news, the despaired Roman leader had attempted suicide by stabbing himself. Some historians have suggested that Cleopatra may have betrayed Antony in the end to protect her children and Egypt. Weigall states how there would have been no real reason to believe that Cleopatra would betray Antony even though he had accused her of doing so. Weigall adds that Antony did have quite “erratic behavior†during the last years of his life since He was often suicidal and withdrawn after his defeat. However, he learned too late that she was actually still alive and Octavian allowed him to be brought to the queen where he died in her arms. Octavian then demanded audience with the queen where the conditions of her defeat were made plain to her. The terms were hardly favorable on her and Cleopatra understood she would be brought to Rome a captive to adorn Octavian’s triumph.

              Realizing that she would not be able to manipulate Octavian as she

had done with Caesar and Antony, Cleopatra requested for and was granted time

to prepare herself. She then at that moment committed suicide by supposedly poisoning herself through the bite of a snake. Though historians often debate whether this was truly the method she used to end her life or not due to the fact

 this would have been a very painful way. The other methods that scholars have come up with would be using an asp or the theory brought about by Dr. Schaefer – drinking a cocktail of poisons. He and a toxicologist that worked with him believe Cleopatra may have taken a mixture of hemlock, wolfsbane and opium. This kind of mixture would have given the Queen a much less painful and elegant way to commit suicide unlike a snake bite or asp venom which would have brought on things such as vomiting, respiratory failure and much more painful symptoms.

                

              In conclusion, following the centuries after her death Cleopatra and

her life have continued to captivated people from historians to storytellers and

the public at large. All aspects of her life became a huge inspiration for things

through pop culture from Her love affair with Marc Antony becoming a William Shakespeare play (Antony and Cleopatra (1607)). More recently, the “seductive†versions of her have been played by actresses such as Theda Bara (1917), Claudette Colbert (1934) and Elizabeth Taylor (1963).

           Even though most of these stories are truthfully mainly fictional displays of her, Cleopatra’s story has stood the test of time because of what she represented in such a male-dominated society. Dr. Mary Hamer mentions that ‘In an era when

Egypt was roiled by internal and external battles, Cleopatra was able to hold the

country together and proved to be just as powerful of a leader as any of her male counterparts during her time and any other time throughout history.â€.

           Even though most of these stories are truthfully mainly fictional displays of her, Cleopatra’s story has stood the test of time because of what she represented in such a male-dominated society. Dr. Mary Hamer mentions that ‘In an era when

Egypt was roiled by internal and external battles, Cleopatra was able to hold the

country together and proved to be just as powerful of a leader as any of her male counterparts during her time and any other time throughout history.â€. 

 

 

 

I edited a portion of it for you to do with as you wish, but I can't do the rest b/c I have to go, I'm sorry. It looks good so far tho!

 

i stopped editing after even though they were considered divine since birth btw

is the mean value theorem (for derivatives) pretty much like the definition of a derivative but adding that all points must be differentiable and continuous for it to apply?

 

For the MVT to apply, the function must be:

• Continuous on the closed interval [a,b]
• Differentiable on the open interval (a,b)

Which guarantees that you have some c where a < c < b such that:

 

f'© = [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a)

has anyone ever does a sociological analysis paper of a film or advertisements?

I'm not exactly sure how to use the intervals here, since in b), the probability and the interval would be P(x>1000)

The region x < 0 simply doesn't contribute to the integral, since f(x) is zero everywhere there (which makes sense, the DVD player can't fail after negative time)

 

So you're trying to calculate P(x > 1000) and P(x < 2000), where:
