Find: d/dx ((x-root-x+3)/(3x^5-16x+4))
Graph
Overlay d/dx ((2x)/(x^2-3))
Find three points where the derivatives are identical.
Plot a curve between these points.
Find the tangent line to the curve at x=4.
Give answer in the form f1(x)=
wha wha whaaaaaaa....it's 12:08 AM...13 problems left...

gauges look great. I have mine on order and waiting for the paint to dry. The quote from above ask a cop if you can drive. The answer is nobody drives right anyway so give it a try. This coming from a cop.

The way it should work for me:
Private License: fall semester freshmen year
Instrument Rating: spring semester soph year
Commercial License: spring semester soph year (you do three stages of commercial, then get your instrument rating, then finish commercial)
Certified Flight Instructor: fall semester junior year
Instrument Flight Instructor: spring semester junior year
Multi-Engine Rating: fall semester senior year
So I'm pretty much done for a year or so...just a lot of flying...gotta build up the time required for the Commercial License.

Then the weather got bad and screwed over the other two guys who were close to getting their license, so I ended up being the only one who got it last semester.
