And yes, there have been much better plot hooks, the one for Usec's was great for instance.
I... What? Which plot hook are we talking about here? I'm pretty sure that all of mine were at best okay or something.
I have a big question which stumps me:
Determine the amount of fill that would be required to level out the hole in Q4. You will need to specify key parameters and variables; then synthesise appropriate procedures and strategies to generate solutions. Test a variety of methods in order to develop an appreciation of complexities of the problem.
Justify your approach and discuss the overall validity of strategies used, including Simpson’s Rule, to approximate volume. Your mathematical argument should include any diagrams and calculations relevant to this section.
Note: In presenting your solution to this question, include an introduction, along with detailed outlines of your synthesised method(s), an evaluation of the validity of your methods via associated strengths and limitations. Then conclude by refining solutions and making decisions based on their reasonableness to justifying the most suitable outcome.
Simpson's rule is a forumla for calculating area, and so now I'm stumped as how to calculate volume with it.
Bwahahahaha. Welcome to calculus, buddy. I hope you enjoy your stay.
I have no formula, the hole is pretty irregular in depth. I've got a table of depth measurements and the area of the surface of the hole.
From what I can see from your limited description, the easiest way to solve question depends on whether the hole is uniformly irregular or not. Which is to say, if the depth is x deep, then at that point the top of the hole is 2x wide. Because then you can find the area of a slice through the hole using Simpson's Rule and then rotate that to find the volume. Like finding the volume of a cylinder by rotating a rectangle. Or something like that. I'm probably explaining it horribly.
...
You will post the solution to it when you get it, won't you? I'm rather interested in it now.
