Well, the water's dropped quite a bit. It just means that I don't have any water to drink right now, so I'll have to try to dig it deeper. Starting to get a little bit of water pulling up, which I would expect. But I'm kind of at the limit of what I can do by hand here.

It's been almost 2 months since desert nomad Tobias first arrived in this Arizona Canyon. Each passing day is a test of his survival know-how. I don't think I can keep digging like this much longer. This trip is a lot about challenging myself and trying to see if I am capable of doing what I think I should be able to do as a human, which is go out onto the Earth and provide for myself.

My whole life I've been trying to figure out how to live out here, and hopefully I can stay within my limits and still do this intensive journey. It's probably going to be enough to where I can get a little water tonight, but at the rate that the water is dropping, I'm not going to be able to keep getting water out of here reliably. I pretty much have realized that the well is not going to provide me water much longer. It's just kind of a losing battle.

Finding decreasing interval given the function | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

So we have the function ( f(x) = x^6 - 3x^5 ) and we want to know over what intervals is ( f ) decreasing. We’re going to do it without even having to graph ( y = f(x) ). The way we do that is we look at the derivative of ( f ) with respect to ( x ) and t…

Example: Correlation coefficient intuition | Mathematics I | High School Math | Khan Academy

So I took some screen captures from the Khan Academy exercise on correlation coefficient intuition. They’ve given us some correlation coefficients, and we need to match them to the various scatter plots on that exercise. There’s a little interface where w…
