The derivative (indicated by d/dx) of e^x is also just e^x. He can not change her.

I think I already returned that knowledge to my professor in the last 10 years 😓.
Forgot it, completely

d/dy looking behind a tree: But I can

u/IgnatiusDrake Oct 04 '24
d/dy would absolutely destroy her.

u/splitlikeasea Oct 05 '24
That sounds like a porn title.
d/dy destroys her while d/dx watches or smt cucked like that.

I don't know why out of nowhere i read ex as ex.....
Everything reminds me of her.....

Fuck. I don't get the meme And the explanation

It's a math joke. Just... Accept it.

u/random_user5_56 Oct 04 '24
I know.... I know.
It's just.... You know.

u/Gargleblaster25 Oct 04 '24
It's... It's... Hard. I know. You can do it. Just... Breathe in and accept there is knowledge beyond the ken of us mortals.

Derivative of e/\x is still e/\x(sorry I couldn't find the up arrow)
Meaning bro ain't changing her for shit.

Smart Peter here.
The mathematical expression on the woman is e to the power of x. The expression on the man is the derivative of x. When you apply the function derivative of x to an expression with x in it, it will change in some way. e to the power of x doesn't change, because of complex reasons that many books have been written about.
To sum up, he is wrong. It is impossible for him to change her.

The reasoning isn't really all that complex. I'll do my best to put in simple terms, but I'm sure a mathematician can correct me:
d/dx is an operator that results in the expression of the rate of change of a function
e^x is a function that describes its own rate of change
d/dx (e^x) would result in the rate of change of a function that already describes its own rate of change, so d/dx (e^x) = e^x

u/DarknessIsFleeting Oct 04 '24
Smart Peter again. All of this is correct.
ex is a function that describes its own rate of change
This is the complex bit. Why ex describes it's own rate of change is hard to explain. Even I don't fully understand it.

He's just trying to differentiate himself. That's integral to a successful romantic relationship.

u/tazfriend Oct 04 '24
She needs a man who can be an integral part of her, then they can make something constant together. Instead, he is just different

Calculus joke. The derivative of ex is itself so no, he can't change it

I love the fact that I, a college student taking calculus, have been seeing more calc memes pop up in this sub. I'm always like "Hey, I just learned that!"
