I've caught probably 50+ with chaining using pokeradar on pearl, but as for just finding them randomly, just one or two (and that's across all 18 main games). Don't remember well enough.

6)

a) let f(x,y) = 4x^2 - 6xy + 4y^2 - 16, then compute df/dx and df/dy. then dy/dx = (df/dx)/(df/dy)

b) assuming you mean the value of dy/dx, just plug in the values to the expression found in a). i get -1 for both.

c) the graph of the equation has derivative -1 at the aforementioned points, ie the tangent line makes a 45 degree angle with the horizontal axis.

7 and 8 were answered, hope that's enough help :)

5)

a) solve f(x) = 0 for x

b) differentiate f (use chain or product rule for the first term). the intervals on which f is increasing are exactly those intervals on which f'(x) => 0, so find these.

c) tangent is parallel to horizontal axis when it has 0 derivative, so this reduces to solving f'(x) = 0.

4)

a) dv/(v+17) = -2 dt so integrating on both sides yields ln(v+17) = -2t + c. exponentiate both sides to get v in terms of t, then use the initial condition to get a particular solution. i get v = 30exp(-2t) - 17.

b) exp(-2t) tends to 0 as t tends to infinity, so the answer is -17.

c) solve v(t) = 20 for t.

3)

a) f is linear on each segment so this is easy to graph.

b) g(3) is just the integral of a linear function, hopefully he will know how to do this. my answer is 9. bit confused about how to find g'(-12) since iirc g' = f but f is only defined between -2 and 9 so we don't know what f(-12) is, maybe someone else has some input.

c) this is g'(2) = f(2)

d) g' = f is positive on [-2,4] so g is increasing on this interval, and thus the minimum is g(-2).

2)

a) v = ds/dt, a = dv/dt, i assume he knows how to differentiate polynomials.

b) probably best to sketch them in reverse order. a(t)=2t-16 is just a line so that's easy. v(t) is a quadratic with obvious roots (2 and 14) and one turning point (where a is 0, ie t=8), so sketch it from this. then, as in the question in the OP, s is a cubic with positive leading coefficient and you know its turning points so sketch it based on these.

c) it is speeding up when a>0, so t > 8. slowing down when a < 0, so t < 8.

Sure, I don't mind answering some questions if they're as brief as the ones in the OP.

--
http://speeddemosarchive.com/MetroidPrime.html#PAL100

a) the derivative of f at 0 is -12, so the normal line has equation y = x/12 + c, and since f(0) = 20, c=20.

b) a line is parallel to the x-axis when it has 0 derivative, so you want to find the points at which the derivative of f is 0. The derivative of f is a quadratic, so just use the quadratic formula.

c) f is a cubic, and from b) you know the stationary points, so sketch it from this. Add on the lines you found in b).

Sometimes, if I really love the game and just playing it normally is getting stale. I've done a lot of No Sphere Grid challenges in FFX as well as a 22% run of Metroid Prime (no optional upgrades, no charge beam/super missiles/grapple beam/spider ball/boost ball/thermal visor).

It was a good game. Some of the dungeons were really fun and I enjoyed most of the stuff inbetween. On the other hand, the bosses were a bit lacking overall, the flying was atrocious and the motion controls in general were a pain sometimes. I'd give it 8/10 and probably rank it 4th after OoT > LttP > TP

Pretty sure a lot of the people who voted the third option would have grown out of intentionally throwing their controllers now. I would never do it anymore (despite getting extremely angry with some games), but I did fairly often before I was like 13/14 and learned how to control anger better.
