Ouch, is it really that bad there? I’m planning to go to college there…
THEY DON’T HAVE SOUR PATCH KIDS?!??</p>
<p>No anime fans here? As you can see, I am bored. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trevor posted his tweet while I was away for something.</p>
<p>Cross sectional area of the rectangle, I beleive.</p>
<p>Back! Eating lunch instead. 
</p>
<p>@rainsonata: Are you going to the anime expo? I’m not into it, but my friends all want me to go.</p>
<p>negative x axis area? what are you talking about? god my brain’s gone to hell this past year, i’m so busy trying to think of what damn tunnel they’re talking about i’m forgetting my math. essential concept would be to treat the area as an integral and thus take it’s derivative and set it to equal 0 to determine where the area hits a max. only that would give you an answer for theta. so we need to find an equation that relates theta to x or y, then once we have an answer in terms of x or y, we can then plug in the answer into the equation for the tunnel to figure out y or x, respectively. correct me if i’m wrong…</p>
<p>^^If so, what’s with the random diagonal line?</p>
<p>Basically, is it asking the dimensions of the largest-area rectangle that can fit in the circle?</p>
<p>This is for precalc so I need to do it w/o dirivs. or intigrals =/</p>
<p>@victoria: I got invited to AX too, but I’m not going because it’s too expensive D:. I’m a fan, but not a hardcore fan. I just lurk and watch random series once and than move on to new series.</p>

you’re kidding me right? not a single day goes by here when i say “damn, i’m so glad to not have american candy and soda. let’s throw in our fast food, and even our commercials. because i don’t miss them at all”. lol. it’s just different. very, very different. you’ll survive because you’ll get to party and drink and club, which as an american who would be underage in the states but is perfectly legal in the UK, you will live it up. and then go and spend your summers back home. but yes, i miss wendy’s and taco bell and chik fil a, denny’s, ihop, even subway here is different (as in not nearly as good). things close very early, unless you’re in a big city, where they’ll close by maybe 12 or 1. but a staple of your diet here will be a kebab shop. every university has some kebab shop with in its vicinity. its always the place that’s open the latest, and everybody goes there to get food. that’s basically a crash course of UK life :)</p>
<p>it’s asking for the largest area we can make of that triangle within the rectangle within the circle. using only precal, the only thing i can think of would be a graphical approach to determine the maximum value. still need to convert the equation for our area into something relative to x or y. i pity you for pre cal actually. found it much more annoying than calculus. matrices. i dislike matrices. i had to relearn them in my linear algebra class at the start of last year. needless to say i was lost.</p>
<p>Guys it’s 4:00 in 5 minutes!</p>
<p>The area would be max when it’s a square, right? And that means t=45 degrees.</p>
<p>Yay! Almost mid/late afternoon!</p>
<p>snalemail, and yet no sign of scores =[
im tired of the disappointment</p>
<p>One hour since the last tweet, 3 PM is usually considered mid-afternoon, and it’s 4 PM right now. The tweet must be imminent. Within the next 2 hours it will come. My bet’s on 5:15 PM.</p>
<p>This is torture!</p>
<p>i’m trying to remember if it’d be max as a square. but that wouldn’t help anyways. oh wait the equation is for the area not for the diagonal line… cuz i’d wonder why we’d have an equation for that since the hyp. is 20… it seems my brain is turning on finally after 10 months of inactivity. okay so wait i got this. so we know the hyp is 20. we can plug 400 sin 2 theta into the calculator and graph to figure out the value of theta when the A=max. based on theta we can fill in the third angle and use the law of sines to get our dimensions for x and y? seems too simple but stop me if iw ent wrong any where. seems like it should work. the hyp is 20 because x^2+y^2=400 is a circle, with radius 20.</p>
<p>if it’s a right triangle inscribed in a rectangle or circle (i haven’t been following it closely) it will have the max area when the diagonal/diameter is its hypotenuse.</p>
<p>My head hurts. A 4 or 5 on Calc so I don’t have to take math ever again? Totally worth $8 to find out a few weeks early. Ugh.</p>
<p>Friend just called. The scores aren’t in yet. Any idea why college board asks for our name everytime?</p>
