Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I am well aware what a graph is and that it shows the actually values, but to obtain some actually values to perform manually some calculations we need to extract some explicit values from the image. This is however not arbitrarily precise and therefore will add some noise to the extracted values.
My data is simply y = exp(x).
That's the curve of the line?
Your data as in you generated it? Or that's the function that fits the curve shown in the graph?
In the case I am discussing, the data is generated using the exponential function exp(x).
Which case is that? Have we moved goal posts or are you claiming this line:
Was generated using the function y=exp(x)?
This case here.
So your claim is that curve was generated using an exponential function?
I concede, that appears to be the case.
Now this one
What function generated this curve?
For reference, what is math education?
Its a thing you do to get into higher level classes. Then never think about again.
I am just curious. So may I ask what your math education is?
Uh, no. That's too personal. Either you take what im saying at face value or you dont. If there was a time I could sit down and pass a heat and mass transfer exam that is long passed.
Sure. ^_^
Lol
