Came back to find more posts that have all blown my mind. Thanks. It's all very interesting stuff, but this is quickly becoming discouraging. I was really interested in this topic from a psychological angle, as I was trying to figure out if I could make it into a research topic as a BA...

Nah that won't do, lol. I will think on this some more then. Thank you for all your help!

Hmm... so do you think it's possible to create an ECT-like mechanism without attaching electrodes directly to the scalp?

"Electricity doesn't flow from the brain and into the muscles in the same way that it flows through a circuit." Could you elaborate on that? Electro-chemical impulses start in the brain so it makes sense that they can't originate anywhere else... but the channel is still there so theoretically...

By the form of electricity, would it be possible to change brain chemistry without using the procedures of ECT? For instance, I would think in this day and age we could make a device that one would touch (like a doorknob) that could create a similar form of electroshock, only difference being...

Okay, just to make sure I'm understanding: x + y = 6 y = 6 - x So if x = 2, 4, 5, that would make y = 4, 2, 1, and so on. Hmm, okay. I don't really see it? Using the product rule I got: (2xy + x2) + (y2 + 2y) = 0 The parentheses might be wrong, and I might've taken the derivative of 6 too...

I'll try it again with the product rule...

That's all the instructions said, although maybe the pages before had more information (I tired to read them but they didn't make any sense so I came here). To be frank I don't know why saying y isn't dependent on x is important or even quite what that means. The explanatory blue box doesn't...

It says, "use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx," so sure? It becomes a derivative of the original?

...And I just saw in the rules I wasn't supposed to post this here. My bad, is there anyway to move it?

<< Mentor Note -- thread moved from the technical math forums at OP request, so no Homework Help Template is shown >>[/color] x2y + xy2 = 6 I know we use the chain rule from here, so wouldn't that be: (d/dx)(x2y + xy2) = (d/dx)(6) so using the chain rule of g'(x)f'(g(x) and the d/dx...

Oh, my God. Yes.

I have nothing to add to this conversation other than THAT IS INCREDIBLE.

What a loaded question. A thorough dictionary, for starters. Preferably NW's 1828 or 1913 with an added section for the words complied since then.

I think I got it. Unstable atoms can't keep themselves together on their own while the neutral atoms hold up even as their valence varies. Mind if I drag this on some more--what do you mean by "lower total energy?" The atomic mass weight? I think I see everything else that you're saying...
