"Faith is believing what you know ain’t so. (Mark Twain‚ Following the Equator‚ "Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar)" Faith is a belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence and is often associated with religion. Because faith is not supported by proof or evidence‚ it is an irrational belief‚ irrational meaning not governed by reason. This essay will make no statement as to the rationality of religion or the existence of God‚ but it will argue that faith by definition is irrational

of -1. Straight Lines: Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c‚ where m = gradient‚ c = y-intercept. The equation of a line‚ if we know one point and the gradient is found using: (y - y1) = m(x - x1) (If given two points‚ find the gradient first‚ and then use the formula.) Two lines meet at the solution to their simultaneous equations. Note: When a line meets a curve there will be 0‚ 1‚ or two solutions. 1. Use substitution to solve the simultaneous equations 2. Rearrange them to form a quadratic equation

Why It Couldn’t Be The short story Cold Equations by Tom Godwin takes place on a ship called EDS. The space cruiser is piloted by a man named Barton. He has an order of killing the stowaway who snuck onto the ship because the weight on the EDS is too much for the ship to handle. In the process of hunting down the stowaway‚ he realizes it was a young innocent girl named Marilyn. Once Barton understands what kind of person Marilyn is‚ he doesn’t kill her immediately because he knows her reasons were

Basic equations of fluid statics | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An equation representing pressure field P = P (x‚ y‚ z) within fluid at rest is derived in this section. Since the fluid is at rest‚ we can define the pressure field in terms of space dimensions (x‚ y and z) only. Consider a fluid element of rectangular parellopiped shape( Fig : L - 7.1) within a large fluid region which is at rest. The forces acting on the element are body and surface forces. | | Body force

Backward Bending Slutsky Equation In the Labor Supply Model‚ consumer has a choice between consumption and leisure. If they were to reduce their leisure and allocate more time working‚ they will be able to consume more. The amount of labor and consumption are determined by the interaction of consumer’s preferences and budget constraint. In this model‚ the utility function to be maximized is U(C‚L)‚ where individual cares about consumption (C) and leisure (L). The utility function is subjected

06.05 Applications of Systems of Equations Part 1 1. Tony and Belinda have a combined age of 56. Belinda is 8 more than twice Tony’s age. How old is each? Tony’s age = t years‚ Belinda’s age = 56 - t years 56 - t = 2t + 8 56 - 8 = 2t + t ==> 3t = 48 ==> t = 16 years THUS Tony = 16 years‚ and Belinda = 40 years 2.
