Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a series of calculus questions, including topics such as indices and logarithms, functions, roots of equations, inequalities, simultaneous equations, coordinate geometry, differentiation, integration, sequences and series, probability, and statistics. Participants are seeking assistance with solving these problems, but there is a request for users to show their work and thought processes.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Multiple calculus problems are presented, each requiring specific solutions or explanations, such as solving logarithmic equations and finding derivatives.
  • Some participants emphasize the importance of showing work to facilitate better assistance and avoid redundant suggestions.
  • There are concerns raised about the appropriateness of posting the same questions across multiple platforms without demonstrating personal effort.
  • One participant notes the need for clear and readable mathematical formatting when reposting questions.
  • A participant mentions that the questions appear to be part of a "Final Assessment," leading to a temporary closure of the thread pending further communication from the original poster.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is a general agreement on the importance of showing work and the appropriateness of posting questions. However, the discussion remains unresolved regarding the original poster's intent and the legitimacy of seeking help for assessment-related questions.

Contextual Notes

Participants express concerns about the lack of personal effort shown in the original post, which may affect the quality of help provided. There are also unresolved issues regarding the appropriateness of the questions being posted in a public forum.

Hello and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Please post each question in a separate thread, along with what you've tried or your thoughts on the problem, and when you are done, let me know so I can delete this thread.

Thanks!

Posting multiple problems on multiple websites without showing ANY of your own work really is in bad form. In any case, please show YOUR work - one problem at a time, There are many who are willing to HELP. There are a few who are willing just to give out solutions, but most like to discourage such behavior.
 
I should also add, that when you re-post each question in separate threads, please be sure the mathematics is formatted such that it is readable and free from ambiguity.
 
I saw where these same questions were posted on another site by the same username, and images were posted indicating this is a "Final Assessment" and so I am closing this thread until I hear from the OP (via private message) regarding permission given to seek outside help with a graded assignment.
