So I am currently going to a computer university for 3D animation. I have partied too hard and dropped a shit load of classes and now I might have fuck it all up. If I fail anymore classes I am pretty much screwd. So I am doing this assignment and I can’t figure any of this shit out. Pre Calc…why do I have to do math when I am a math student. So it dues at midnight and I am trying to get it done. I am going to post some of the questions and see if you can help. This might be a week rant now but if I fail this class I could be beating my fore head in and asking for a group stoning. The following data can be best described as x 1 2 3 4 5 y 3 6 12 24 48 (Points: 1) Linear Trigonometric Logarithmic Exponential Power 2. The following data can best be described as x 1 2 3 4 5 y 2000 1000 500 250 125 (Points: 1) Linear Power Exponential Logarithmic Trigonometric 1. REFER to your text, page 410, problem #18. SHOW ALL OF YOUR STEPS. You need to start with the geometrical relation shown, and conclude that: (Points: 2) 2. A function, f(x), is even if and only if f(x) = -f(x) (Points: 1) True False 3. The function, is considered to be… (Points: 1) Even Odd Decreasing Neither even nor odd concave downwards 4. Write the formulation for a rational function which meets the following criteria: 1. Zeros at x = -3 and x = 2 2. Vertical asymptotes at x = -5 and x = 7 3. A horizontal asymptote as y = 1 (Points: 3) 1. Write the formulation for a function that has: 1. Zeros at x = 2 and x = -5 2. A vertical asymptote as x = 7 3. A horizontal asymptote at y = 3 (Points: 3) ---

Isn’t getting outside help on a take-home exam considered cheating? ---

No, I am NOT going to give you homework answers. But I will make a suggestion on how to get the answers. Graph the problem, it should be obvious what the answers are. If it isn’t then might I suggest you get some tutoring on this subject. ---

The only help I can give is to tell you that (and don’t tell any other parents I said this; it’s heresy) if you flunk a class it’s not the end of the world. Hell, even if you flunk out of college, it’s still not the end of the world. As long as you can glean a Valuable Life Lesson from this, you’ll be fine in the long run. Now go study. ---
