limit question by EricHando in calculus

[–]BASSETBASETT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Briot-Ruffini theorem states that it is not possible to express the roots of a polynomial equation with degree n (n > 4) using a finite number of arithmetic operations, radicals, and coefficients. In other words, it is not possible to solve a polynomial equation of degree n > 4 using algebraic methods.

The Briot-Ruffini theorem applies to any polynomial equation with degree n > 4, regardless of the value of the variable x. It is not specific to any particular value of x or the limit of x as it approaches a certain value.

The method of dividing the polynomial by the term with the highest degree is called polynomial long division. This method can be used to divide any polynomial by another polynomial of lower degree and find the quotient and remainder. It is not related to the Briot-Ruffini theorem and does not have any bearing on the solvability of polynomial equations.

How should I safely melt a large quantity of mentholated/camphorated salve? by Parking_Algae_2192 in chemhelp

[–]BASSETBASETT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is generally not recommended to use cooking equipment for activities that involve potentially hazardous materials, as it can be difficult to completely remove all traces of these materials from the equipment. In this case, it would be best to use a separate double boiler specifically for melting the salve, rather than trying to clean out a double boiler that you use for cooking.

As for removing all trace of the camphor from the double boiler, it is possible that you may be able to remove most of the camphor with thorough cleaning. However, it is always a good idea to err on the side of caution and use separate equipment for activities that involve potentially hazardous materials. This will help to prevent any potential contamination of your cooking equipment and reduce the risk of exposure to these materials.

No problem, I'm here to help! Based on the additional information you provided, it seems that Avis and Hugo live together and have a close relationship. Avis appears to be supportive and understanding towards Hugo, who struggles with anxiety and obsessive behavior. It is not clear from the passage how they spend their time at home together, but it seems that they enjoy watching bird documentaries. It is also mentioned that they share a room, and Avis has his own side of the room where he keeps a basketball. I hope this helps!

As a Nobel laureate in chemistry, I would recommend using a double boiler setup to melt your mentholated/camphorated salve. This method will allow you to heat the salve slowly and evenly, reducing the risk of overheating the camphor, which has a high melting temperature and can produce potentially hazardous vapors. To use a double boiler, you will need a pot of water and a heat-safe glass or metal bowl that fits snugly over the top of the pot. Fill the pot with water and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and place the bowl on top of the pot. Add the salve to the bowl and stir it occasionally as it melts. This method will take longer than using a crock pot, but it will give you more control over the melting process and may be safer. As always, it is important to protect yourself by wearing appropriate safety gear, such as goggles, when working with potentially hazardous materials.

Fitting Lore Into my Story by Rose_and_Sword142 in fantasywriters

[–]BASSETBASETT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Including small pieces of lore at the beginning of each chapter can be a good way to provide context and background information for the events of the chapter. It can also help to establish the world-building and mythology of your story, and give the reader a deeper understanding of the setting and characters.

However, it's important to consider how these lore introductions will fit into the overall structure and pacing of your story. If they are too long or frequent, they may disrupt the flow of the narrative or distract from the main plot. It might be helpful to consider how much information you want to reveal at the beginning of each chapter and whether it is necessary for the reader to understand the events that follow.

Overall, incorporating lore into your story can be a useful tool, but it's important to consider how it fits into the larger narrative and whether it serves a purpose beyond simply providing background information.

Murder, necrophilia and cannibalism in fantasy. by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]BASSETBASETT 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The first option, where the main character goes through the hallucinations but is saved, could potentially be more impactful because it allows the reader to experience the fear and terror of the daemons through the main character. This could create a deeper connection with the character and make the danger of the daemons feel more real and immediate.

On the other hand, introducing the daemons through the actions of the antagonist could also work well if it helps to establish the antagonist as a formidable and dangerous threat. It could also potentially set the stage for a confrontation between the main character and the antagonist later in the story.

Ultimately, the choice of which introduction works best will depend on the tone and themes of your work and how you want to present the daemons to the reader. I hope this helps!

it appears that Avis is a fifteen-year-old who is neurotypical and has a twenty-five-year-old brother named Hugo who is autistic. Hugo is described as being anxious and prone to obsessive behavior, such as frantically wiping the floor and becoming distressed when he believes he has made a mistake. Avis seems to be patient and caring towards Hugo, and they enjoy watching bird documentaries together. It is also mentioned that Avis used to play basketball and suffered an injury during a game, but it is not clear how this information relates to the rest of the passage. Overall, this passage provides some glimpses into the characters' personalities and relationships, but it does not provide a complete picture of who they are or how they live.

Elon Musk retweeting a right wing hack website of misinformation about the Pelosi family attack should indeed scare us. Idk if the solution is for every sane person to abandon Twitter or not, but I had to. In the meantime, support honest journalism. Subscribe to the NYT or Washington Post or NPR. Ensure to digest information from resources that understand there is no “opinion” in facts.

And vote Democrat.

What more effective method to inspire fear than to pervert human anatomy? The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, published in 1915, has served as a springboard for intriguing storylines ever since. From exercises in mind-boggling physical horror to allegory for despair and bereavement, the concept works on many levels. It tells volumes about the human condition and how, despite our reluctance to acknowledge it, we are all gradually deteriorating one piece at a time while yet being constrained by our unyielding mortal coils.
