sclurving
When an equation such as F(x) oscillates between positive and negative values of F, even though the given situation of the problem make it impossible for the function to have a negative value, regardless of the value of the independent variable. For example a function of how many apples you have. How the fuck can you have a negative number of apples?
1. Question involving sclurving -A 550 gallon tank contains 100 gallons of water in which there are 200 pounds
of dye dissolved. At time t = 0, a solution of dye dissolved in water begins to
enter the tank in such a way that precisely at time t > 0 and until the tank is
full, the instantaneous rate of entry is 2t gallons per hour with a instantaneous
concentration of dye equal to sin(t^2 /300) pounds per gallon. Additionally, at
time t = 0, the tank begins to drain in such a way that at precisely time t > 0
and until the tank is full, the (well-stirred) tank empties at the instantaneous
rate of t gallons per minute.
Answer- who gives a shit because the sin function is negative at some values of t, and there's no such thing as a negative concentration of dye. Now that's "sclurving"
