Well, your reply was far more than I dared hope for, and thanks for the link, it was a indeed a great read. That thing he mentions about french subtitles rarely corresponding much to what is actually being said is something I've noticed as well. I might skip them altogether and make the DVD...

I'm going to France as an exchange student in about 10 months, and with no formal education in french behind me, I'm basically trying to learn as much french as possible as quickly as possible. So since new year I've been going through the Rosetta Stone units and have built up a decent starting...

English isn't the language I'm taught maths in, so I'm not sure how much sense the subject question makes, but never mind that. The question is, how can I calculate the sum of a sequence that goes 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + ... + n^3? That is, how can I express the sum as a function of n? My...

Professor Frink - No, Pops, it's too risky! For all we know, there could be cubes in there the size of gorillas! Mr Burns - Oh Meltdown! It's one of those popular buzz-words. We prefer to call it an unrequested fission surplus Chief Wiggum - This is Papa Bear. Put out an APB for a male...

Ok, here's the full table I was given: Y1 = 10.1cm, X1 = 15g,,, t1 = 3.306 months Y2 = 25.0cm, X2 = 236g,, t2 = 9.179 months Y3 = 32.0cm, X3 = 520g,, t3 = 12.513 months Y4 = 35.4cm, X4 = 660g,, t4 = 14.313 months Y5 = 43.8cm, X5 = 1250g, t5 = 19.425 months Y6 = 45.5cm, X6 = 1425g...

Oh I'm sorry. The Y(t) function Y = 80 * (1-0.96^t) was also part of the assignment details.

I live in Sweden. Both the length and weight values were part of the assignment details.

Wow, thanks for your efforts ryans! Eager to see if you can work it out. Though it does look almost too complex for the supposed difficulty level this task is on. Granted it's considered a difficult one for this course, but it's still only 11th grade math :) This is for my final assignment in...

Thanks! I'd guess that environment isn't a factor since the this kind of salmon is grown in an isolated environment, rather than living in it's natural habitat. Genetic code would be a factor, yes, but perhaps whatever function was used to create the values I listed was based on the average...

Y corresponds to the length in centimetres, X to weight in grams. Thanks for attempting to help :)

The values are the lengths and the corresponding weights of a kind of grown salmon after t months, counted from their birth, so it's safe to assume they're correlated. There simply has to be a way to express this correlation as a y(x) function. AntonK, how did Excel come up with that...

Y1 = 10.1, X1 = 15 Y2 = 25.0 , X2 = 236 Y3 = 32.0 , X3 = 520 Y4 = 35.4 , X4 = 660 Y5 = 55.7 , X5 = 2590 I'm positive there's a connection between Y and X, but I can't seem to figure it out. The closest I got to discovering a pattern was to raise Y to the power of 3.04+-0.05...

I realize that the odds of someone bringing up something completely new to a debate that has been going on for so long is very slim. But still, I've lurked on this board for quite some time and read quite a few of these threads. Still I've never seen this particular thing mentioned. Isn't...
