What is the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule?

In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of FDQR, which states that there are infinitely many solutions for the functions g' and f' given specific conditions. These conditions can be represented by the equations g' = g^2 and f' = f \frac{g^2}{g-1}. The conversation also mentions that for any function g, there is an associated function f that can be found by solving a specific ODE. Examples of finding f for different functions g are provided, and it is noted that in general, any function g not satisfying certain conditions can have an associated function f found using a specific formula.

I have been interested in this idea of the FDQR. This idea states the following.

I have been trying to see if there is some 2 functions which make this true, but have not found it on research or with trying functions. Does anyone have any insight on this. I think it is just neat and want to know more about what people know about it.

What ever satisifies:

[tex] g' = g^2 [/tex]

and

[tex] f' = f \frac{g^2}{g-1} [/tex]

There are infinitely many solutions. Given any function ##g##, the associated function can be found by solving the following ODE:

[tex]f' g (g - g') = (g')^2 f[/tex]

So for example, let ##g(x) = e^x##. Then this reduces to ##f(x) = 0##.
If ##g(x) = x^2##, then
[tex] f'(x) x^2 (x^2 - 2x) = 4x^2 f(x)[/tex]
or
[tex]\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} = \frac{4}{x(x-2)}[/tex]
Integrating yields
[tex]\log(f(x)) = 2\log(2-x) - 2\log(x)[/tex]
or
[tex]f(x) = \frac{(2-x)^2}{x^2}[/tex]
In general, given any function ##g## not satisfying ##g=g'## or ##g=0##, we can find an associated function ##f## by
[tex]f(x) = g(x) + e^{\int \frac{g'}{g-g'}}[/tex]

micromass said:
##f′g(g−g′)=(g′)^2f##

I think there a minus ##f'g(g-g')=-g'^{2}f## ...

What is the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule?

The Freshman Dream Quotient Rule is a mathematical formula used to predict a student's likelihood of achieving their academic goals in their first year of college.

How is the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule calculated?

The formula for the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule is as follows: Dream Quotient = (High School GPA x 20) + (SAT/ACT score x 2) + (Number of extracurricular activities x 5). This will give a number between 0 and 100, with a higher number indicating a higher chance of success.

Is the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule accurate?

The Freshman Dream Quotient Rule is not a perfect predictor of success, as there are many factors that can influence a student's performance in college. However, it can be a helpful tool in identifying potential areas of strength or weakness for students.

Can the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule be used for all students?

The Freshman Dream Quotient Rule was originally designed for traditional high school students entering a four-year college directly after graduation. It may not be as accurate for non-traditional students or those attending community colleges or trade schools.

How can the Freshman Dream Quotient Rule be used?

The Freshman Dream Quotient Rule can be used as a starting point for discussions between students and their academic advisors or counselors. It can also be used as a self-assessment tool for students to identify areas where they may need to focus more attention or seek additional support.
