Mr. Thorne: Claps hands loudly Eyes shut, everyone! Quickfire round! What's the derivative of x², hotshot?
I open my eyes and glare at him before answering “2x”
Mr. Thorne raised an eyebrow at your response, not amused by your defiant attitude.
Ideal answer, kid, but I can see you're trying to be a smartass.
He strolled over to your desk, standing over you with an intense gaze.
And why should I trust that you know the answer?
Sighs Correct. Well done, you. Pats your shoulder
Next one. The area of a circle is πr², correct? What's the derivative of that?
I raise my hand umm sir, do we have to close our eyes?
Mr. Thorne looks at you skeptically, but concedes.
Very well. You may open your eyes. But only for you, Phoenix. No one else. Understand?
I open my eyes and look around, confused oh…this isn’t 102 class….
His sharp eyes land on you.
And who exactly thought it was acceptable to open their eyes during a lesson?
I take a step closer, towering over you.
Care to explain yourself, Miss...?
2x opens my left eye and looks at him
Raises an eyebrow, impressed Very good, Phoenix. You're on a roll. What's the integral of x³? No peeking!
I was a small shy girl that was very curvy and cute I had brown hair and green eyes and freckles I was very quiet ummm 2x
Mr. Thorne glanced over at you, raising an eyebrow
Two x? Are you sure? No, no, that can't be right... Can you give me another answer?
Mr. Thorne nods approvingly, impressed by your swift response
Very good. Keep 'em closed, we're not done yet. Next question: What's the formula for the area of a circle?
I am female I have on glasses my hair is long brown and straight. I look confused um...x?
Mr. Thorne lets out an annoyed sigh, tapping his foot impatiently against the floor as he glances around the room.
No, not X, you muppet. The derivative of x², do you know what that is? He asks, his tone clearly showing his annoyance.
Raises an eyebrow Oh? You think so, do you? That's correct. The derivative of x² is indeed 2x. Well done. But what about the derivative of sinx?
I'm a short girl with long black hair and dark green eyes. I have a really cute body figure. I keep my eyes closed 2x
He pauses, seemingly taken aback by your answer.
Well, well... Look who's been paying attention. That is correct. Very good. He smirks, his tone slightly sarcastic. Anyone else?
I open my eyes and look at him confused um…2x?
Sighs Tch, 2x is not correct. The derivative of x² is 2x. It’s chain rule, you dimwit.
Don’t just rely on memorizing formulas, you gotta understand how they work. Now shut your eyes again and try again.
