@EricLippert that article was super interesting. It brings up a great point that others have mentioned that the lack of parents really helps bring together plots

@Malvolio That's true. And I understand some of them were previously written stories too...of course, with a LOT of creative liberties taken hahaha

Obviously, some more recent movies like "Frozen" include the parents and then they die, which is why I feel that there is something more to this than just the money.

From what I always read, they simply couldn't afford to make Andy's father in toy story, so he simply didn't have one. Here is a link. quora.com/Toy-Story-movie-series/…

Finally a buzzfeed post about math :)

i got it

oh wow, i'm dumb

i'm so confused

okay serious problem. rotational rigid motion makes total sense with calculus and algebra. this is something i don't get though. we have a trapezoid with coordinates (-1,1),(-1, 4),(3,4), and (3,-3). the rotational isometry at R(1,0) is (0,-1). The rotational isometry at (0,1) is (1,0). Why?

@Owatch ah okay. i've done it before but not recently

@Owatch vaguely. is that what you did?

@owatc that works but you'd have to do partial fractions twice if you split

that's what i tried to do @mike

If you can make sense of this, @Owatch ? I can't. But that's apparently the solution

sorry moderator, but this is a long solution

it involves matrices

i found the way to do the partial fraction step, but it's cray. do you want to see it?

@Owatch same problem?

that would mean that it had an x intercept of 1, which is super not true

@Owatch no you can't do that.

@Owatch ah

@Owatch i

@Owatch if you want to go imaginary maybe

@Owatch not in the real system

i hate this geometry crap

if we only know that a quadrilateral has one pair of parallel and congruent opposite sides, what does it have to be? a parallelogram?

mhmm i'll be able to do this stuff again in the fall when i have to take real math again

example 4 might help

okay i got nothing. i'm in shape math mode right now. have you looked at paul's online notes?

i'm going to look this up really quick. give me a minute

yeah youre on your own for that part; i haven't messed with partial fractions in almost 2 years

what?

there's a starting point

@owatch

yeah sorry hang on

@owatch separate it into three integrals to start

@Ramanewbie this should help a little. let me know if you have questions after reading it algebra.com/algebra/homework/quadratic/…

@Owatch ohhh pretty. give me a few minutes to look at it

@Owatch what integral?

@Ramanewbie If there is no intersection with the x axis it involves using i as an imaginary number. do you really want to learn it?

fun :)

i gotchu @owatch

@Ramanewbie Sure. I second degree polynomial's equation is found by its x-intercepts, in this case x=5 and x=8. The equation of a second degree polynomial is written y=(x-r)(x-s), where r and s are the x-intercepts such that y=(x-5)(x-8). Distribute from there and you have your equation.
