<p>ok here's the problem:</p>
<p>A 6ft-tall man walks at the rate of 5 ft/ sec toward a street light that is 16 ft above the groud. At what rate is the tip of his shadow moving? At what rate is the length of the shadow changing when he is 10 ft from the base of the light?</p>
<p>that looks eerily familiar to a question i had on a test...
i don't feel like doing it because i'll probably do it wrong, but I think you have to set up similar triangles.</p>
<p>Yeah that's what I'd do.</p>
<p>i know about that but i don't understand how to go from there</p>
<p>ok, I know this is like six pages back, but still...LYDIA??? I mean, she's like the meanest, shallowest, stupidest character in the book! She's such a ditz! Couldn't I at least have been Kitty who, while annoying, seems vaguely intelligent? And also, no offence to Shrek2004, but if I have to marry Wickham, who's a jerk, can't we at least cast MY jerk (Rougish Grin) in the role?? lol, jk, but even so, Lydia's icky....</p>
<p>this is simple application of derivatives</p>
<p>Well, at least you're not mrs. bennet.
jk, Mrs. Bennet's cool.</p>
<p>How about a Harry Potter analogy? I claim Hermione....</p>
<p>Rougish Grin??</p>
<p>lol but oh kebree you get to be married to the mysterious encomium.</p>
<p>Are any of you planning to see bride and prejudice?</p>
<p>I edited that last post but several others have cropped up since....I didn't see Enco was Mr. Bennet until afterwords....so it's cool now ;) haha
To re-put the question: How about a Harry Potter analogy? I claim Hermione!</p>
<p>Oh but you ARE hermione! </p>
<p>Can I be Cho Chang then? Obviously, like the only asian girl...lol didn't she dump harry? mwahahh</p>
<p>we can't do harry potter, not enough female leads.....I mean, if hermione (who, sorry Kebree, she's like me in print, lol) and Cho are taken, who's left? I guess I can take Ginny Weasley, Ginny, Jennie, it's close.....</p>
<p>Harry...........Encomium (who would be a reluctant hero)
Ron...........philntex
Hermione...........kebree
Malfoy...........ilcapo, the landed gentry ;)
Ginny...........gianievve
Cho Chang...........zantedeschia
Fleur Delacour...........gracilisae
Neville...........akashbansal
Seamus...........shrek2004
Cedric Diggory...........legendofmax
Molly Weasley...........cookiemom</p>
<p>we need to "invent" a female role for jssballet....surely she wouldn't want to be lavender brown</p>
<p>but cedric died... :(</p>
<p>Ha! you know, my Harry Potter-crazed friends always compare me to Ron, too. craziness. I like the name Fleur Delacour. *C'est bien fran</p>
<p>I thought I did a decent job matching...<em>pats self on back</em>
zant, in our version he stays alive:). All is roses until dec. 15th, remember?</p>
<p>no, I certainly wouldn't want to be lavender brown :: pout::....now I'm sad 'cause I don't have a part.....maybe I could be a foreign exchange student or something periferal and unimportant like that....or I could just go sit in the corner and watch everyone else have fun.....it's ok....</p>
<p>aww! you never said who rougish grin was by the way</p>
<p>lol yay kebree!</p>
<p>her bf who's applying, too...another zant/legendofmax-like situation</p>
