  “I don’t think it’s normal to beat myself and hit my head everytime
  i get this angry.”
  
  Actually, this is alot more “normal” than you would think. By hitting your head, cutting yourself, or any other act of mutilation you are forcing your body to release endorphines. Endorphines are natural pain-suppressant and happy hormones that are released from your Pituitary gland in your brain. However, there are better and more healthy outlets for this natural drug, like hard excercise.
  
  You aren’t abnormal if that is what you are thinking …

• Shell Method - Calculus, Help!
  

  Thanks, I think I am starting to fully grasp what is taking place here.
  
  I am someone who has to understand why, how, and what is going on in math to make sense of it. I really like to break it down to the nuts and bolts of the whole matter, if you will.
  
  Thank you again.

• Shell Method - Calculus, Help!
  

  That seems a little off to me.
  
  Wouldn’t the circumference be the result of the whole equation?
  
  I.E. => 2[pi]r=circumference So for a 3-D area based on the circumference, wouldn’t it then go to 2[pi][radius*height] => and then to 2[pi]Integral[b,a][radius*height]?
  
  Oh wait! Okay, so since you are drawing the line above on y=2, I am assuming you are wrapping it around the x-axis then. So then your radius becomes (2-y) and then your height is the area from (2-y)?
  
  Am I understanding you correctly?
  
  Thank you again, this is of a great help to me.

• I can’t stand the nights where all I think about is the end.
  

  Yes, it is definitely suicidal. You sound like you are suffering from a chemical inbalance, i.e. clinical depression. You should seek help for this issue.
  
  You sound like someone that is seeing the world through a haze of fog. Sometimes, simple medication can open a pathway for you to see the whole picture out there, called life.
  
  I really hope that you take a second and think about this.

• Math?
  

  Yeah, and I just realized that essentially that D=RT is a stepping stone into Calculus and the concept of delta-x. From a Calculus point of view, you could take into affect how long it takes each car to accellerate to their maximum speed, i.e. 0-60 mph and 0-75 mph. This could throw in a variation of a few seconds, maybe even a minute difference, but nothing like 2 1/2 hours.
  
  That answer, anyway you look at it, is wrong.
