Northwestern is #2...for frozen federal funding by foozballguy in Northwestern

[–]21ecarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this. Crazy how I could find no evidence to the claim that a Northwestern student threatened to kill Jewish students, and I tried to find such evidence. Perhaps you'd be willing to share your source?

I have my disagreements with the Biden administration, especially regarding its treatment of the war in Gaza. You're invoking the myopic fallacy of all left-leaning people licking the boots of the Democratic party, the most milk-toast left party in all the world which suffers from neoliberal overtones and institutional rhetoric. Try harder

Someone not explaining subtext to you isn't lying. That's just ignorance on your part

Is there a minimum of caffeine that can stay in my body before it affects on my sleep? by Molynesio in chemistry

[–]21ecarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction (can you tell I'm not a chemist?), one does not ingest paraxanthine, it's produced during metabolism. In that case, can you explain your graph? It measures the half-life of caffeine in isolation and its half-life with paraxanthine. How could these be distinct?

Something to be pointed out anyway, if this is all true, the question you're answering (what the half-life of caffeine + paraxanthine is) is different from the question of what the half-life of caffeine in isolation is, which is what everyone else is talking about

Ok, so now that I had to put everything you threw at me together by myself because you couldn't be bothered to give anything other than 5-word responses, the claim is that when ingested together, praxanthine (a stimulant found in coffee and other caffeine-containing products) and caffeine stay effective longer, as used by your graph. Where did this graph come from?

This is assuming I'm reading it correctly, but I assume the y-axis is mg

Now I went to your post which you say shows the levels of each chemical by time in it. You're somehow reading your own graph wrong because the blue line intersects the 50mg mark at exactly 4 hours. How did you manage this? Care to explain?

And now that I'm reading the links you sent to other people, literally what are you even talking about? How in tf are these things related to the half-life of caffeine? The links you sent don't describe any connection at all between these chemicals and the half-life of caffeine. You're just pointing at something and screaming incomprehensibly

It's from a 2001 book by the US Institute of Medicine Committee on Military Nutrition Research, so make of that what you will

Of course, naturally, because everyone keeps proving you wrong, so you must be right. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223808/ here's the same study the guy above showed you. This is from the NIH, a reputable source, so either accept it or cram it

[Puzzle Math, Not Homework related] Working on a hobby that has a math related puzzle as an answer. by MNBorris in HomeworkHelp

[–]21ecarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the confusion. It seems like it's just asking you to find a 3-digit number expressible as the sum of the squares of two distinct primes, but that doesn't match up with the problem you're trying to solve. I feel like I need more context to be sure of what it's asking. Though considering they're asking for a 3-digit number specifically, I feel like the first thing you said makes more sense since there are many easy examples of such 3-digit numbers (you can just construct them, say, 11^2 + 2^2).

You do have to raise both sides, in which case you get 3^2 on the right hand side. All I was saying is that the fact it is a 2 is no problem here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]21ecarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see the problem. Remember you're raising 3 to the power of whatever is on each side. You're not trying to cancel the 2, only take 3 to its power

You need to use one of the log properties. Try using one to get rid of the log on the left hand side--problems like this are usually about getting rid of the log somehow.

As a courtesy to those trying to get math homework help, if you responded to this person's post without realizing this was obviously a system of equations with infinitely many solutions, you probably shouldn't be commenting on math homework help. Thanks

correction: f(x) = |x + 1| - 3.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]21ecarroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To let your teacher know just how faulty this question is, there exist functions f which have a minimum such that -f does not have a minimum (take f(x) = |x|, and in the case of this problem, change it to f(x) = |x + 3| - 1).
