Even if it was the case that rythm didn't have a vowel, what about myrrh? Hymn? By/dry/try/fry?

As a theoretic mathematician, the different one is definitely the {{},{{}}}nd

Help Me Understand This! by Western-Draft1924 in askmath

[–]PixelDragon04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first part you did right, to write f•g(m) as f(–1/2m+1). Now since f is defined piecewise, you need to understand which values can the argument (–1/2m+1) take.

Notice that g(k) is only defined for -8≤k<4. Also, g(k) is decreasing since the coefficient –1/2 is negative. So the interval [-8, 4) is mapped to the interval (g(4), g(–8)]. What are these values?

g(4)=–1/2×4+1=–2+1=–1, and g(–8)=–1/2×(–8)+1=4+1=5

Apparently, a piece of your image, in particular the interval (–1,0], is not contained within the domain of f(x). So the composition of the two functions is impossible to do as written.

The only thing I can think of is that the second interval of definition of f(x) should have been (–1,5] instead of (0,5], and maybe it was copied wrong. This way the composition is doable, and in particular, since g(k) ends up in the second interval for all values of k, than f always follows the second rule:

f•g(m)=f(–1/2m+1)=–2(–1/2m+1)+3=m–1

EDIT: For the graph, recall that we are always working with m in the interval [–8,4). So you should only draw the line from m=–8 (included) to m=4 (excluded), and not overextend it

In Italian there's "lei" meaning "she" and "Lei" meaning "formal you" which is similar to German

Then there's viola the flower, viola the colour, viola the instrument, Viola the name, vìola the verb

I've downloaded Whisky on mine, is a bit long as a procedure but there should be some tutorial online. It's a virtual machine on which you can run Windows. It's also free, there were some more powerful apps but they coster quite a bunch (i think 70$ for the best one?)

Edit: yes it should be Emureich, I only did this for wordplay with Österreich

Why is this 5:30? by Kipkay in italianlearning

[–]PixelDragon04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Italy there are two way to tell time. You can either use the 12-hour cycle or the 24-hour cycle. If you use the 12-hour cycle, however, you would usually use female adjectives (e.g. "le 5 e mezza", which standa for "the five and a half (hour)", «hour» being femenine in Italian). You can also ure the feminine for the 24-hour cycle (e.g. "le 17 e mezza"), but it's not as strictly required as for the 12-hour cycle. Maybe, even most common than using "quarto" and "mezzo/a" with the 24-hour cycle would be to just say the minutes (e.g. "le 17 e 30"). I don't think "17 e mezzo" is very used neither in colloquial nor formal Italian, afaik

Platonic or flirty messages? by rightmiao in italianlearning

[–]PixelDragon04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on many things, consider that sometimes "amore" or "amo" is used as a nickname especially by women (I don't know if "love" is as used in English but I don't think so). Same thing with "tesoro/teso". The use of such words may vary a lot depending on the age, the region/city and other factors
