        Listen up, buddy. AI is the future and you'd better get used to it. Today's students have grown up with technology, and AI is the next step. It can handle a huge range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex analysis. And let's face it, homework isn't exactly the most stimulating activity for kids. So why not use AI to do the mundane tasks, freeing up time for students to actually learn and explore? AI can be programmed to do it faster, better and more accurately than any human can. So yeah, the days of doing repetitive, mind-numbing homework are over. Get with the times!

            Hard:

            To integrate this integral, we can use the following property of integration:

            int f(x)g(x) dx = F(x)G(x) + int F(x)g'(x) dx

            where F(x) and G(x) are the antiderivatives of f(x) and g(x), respectively.

            In this case, we have f(x) = x^4 and g(x) = sin(x)cos(x). Therefore, the antiderivatives of f(x) and g(x) are F(x) = x^5/5 and G(x) = -sin^2(x)/2.

            Substituting these antiderivatives into the property of integration above, we get:

            int(x^4 + sin(x)cos(x)) dx = (x^5/5) (-sin^2(x)/2) + int (x^5/5) (-cos^2(x)) dx

            To evaluate the last integral, we can use the identity cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x) to write it as:

            int (x^5/5) (-cos^2(x)) dx = int (x^5/5) (-(1 - sin^2(x*~~ dx

            Using the property of integration again, we have:

            int (x^5/5) (-(1 - sin^2(x*~~ dx = (x^5/5) (-x + sin^3(x)/3) + int (x^6/30) (-3sin(x)) dx

            To evaluate the last integral, we can use the identity sin^3(x) = (3sin(x) - 4sin^3(x))/4 to write it as:

            int (x^6/30) (-3sin(x)) dx = int (x^6/30) (-(3sin(x) - 4sin^3(x))/4) dx

            Using the property of integration again, we have:

            int (x^6/30) (-(3sin(x) - 4sin^3(x))/4) dx = (x^6/30) (-3x/4 + sin^4(x)/8) + int (x^7/210) (-4sin^2(x)) dx

            To evaluate the last integral, we can use the identity sin^4(x) = (1 - 2sin^2(x) + sin^4(x))/2 to write it as:

            int (x^7/210) (-4sin^2(x)) dx = int (x^7/210) (-(1 - 2sin^2(x) + sin^4(x))/2) dx

            Using the property of integration again, we have:

            int (x^7/210) (-(1 - 2sin^2(x) + sin^4(x))/2) dx = (x^7/210) (-x/2 + sin^2(x) - sin^6(x)/6)

            Therefore, the indefinite integral of int(x^4 + sin(x)cos(x)) dx is:

            (x^5/5) (-sin^2(x)/2) + (x^5/5) (-x + sin^3

              it's wrong - you first use the linearity of the integral and then integration by parts, where (sin x)' = cos x, so you just have to deal with one function. The AI misunderstood the question.

          I'm intrigued. Have a text book from undergrad where I remember the problems were particularly difficult to google. Don't remember specific problems but here's a couple of varying difficult.

          1. Find blood flow through a vein with a circular cross section. The vein has a diameter of 0.5 cm and is 15 cm long. Blood has a density of 105 g/ml and a viscosity of 5 cp. The inlet pressure is 5cmH2O greater than the outlet pressure.

          2. Derive expressions for the velocity profile and flow rate of a power law fluid the flows through a cylindrical tube of length L and radius R.

          3. (No way in hell it gets this one) Ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze in automobiles. This is a sweet compound and spilled ethylene glycol is unknowingly ingested by dogs and other animals. By itself, this compound is not harmful to the body and is readily excreted in the urine. However, once ingested, ethylene glycol is converted by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase to an aldehyde, which in turn is converted into a toxin. Use your knowledge of enzyme kinetics to search for an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase and to find an appropriate dose that can minimize the conversion of ethylene glycol to aldehydes.

            Question 1:

            To find the blood flow through a vein with a circular cross section, you will need to use the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. This equation relates the flow rate of a fluid through a long, straight tube with circular cross section to the pressure difference between the ends of the tube, the viscosity of the fluid, and the length and radius of the tube.

            The Hagen–Poiseuille equation is given by:

            Q = (π * r^4 * (P1 - P2)) / (8 * η * L)

            where Q is the flow rate, r is the radius of the tube, P1 and P2 are the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the tube, η is the viscosity of the fluid, and L is the length of the tube.

            In your case, the radius of the tube (r) is 0.25 cm (since the diameter of the vein is 0.5 cm), the length of the tube (L) is 15 cm, the viscosity of the blood (η) is 5 cp, and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the tube (P1 - P2) is 5 cmH2O. Plugging these values into the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, we get:

            Q = (π * 0.25^4 * 5) / (8 * 5 * 15)

            Q = 0.001723 cubic centimeters per second

            This is the flow rate of the blood through the vein with a circular cross section. The density of the blood does not affect the flow rate in this calculation, as it cancels out when the viscosity and the flow rate are calculated.

            I did question 3
            >Ethylene glycol is converted to aldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Inhibition of ADH can prevent the conversion of ethylene glycol to aldehyde and minimize its toxicity. There are several potential inhibitors of ADH that can be used to prevent this conversion. One example is fomepizole, which is a specific inhibitor of ADH and is commonly used as an antifreeze antidote. Fomepizole is generally administered in a dose of 15 mg/kg, given intravenously over a period of 30 minutes. This dose can effectively inhibit ADH and prevent the conversion of ethylene glycol to aldehyde.

              Looking at the answer to this it no longer seems as hard as the question made it sound. Guess it was literally googling for an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor. The other two though, honestly pretty impressed. Nobody in college is going to learn anything.

                "teaching" and academia are two different things. The fundamental organization of those things was always moronic (profs' duty, what they're promoted based on, how they're paid, and what they want to do is research, not teaching. Teaching is just something they're forced to do for the privilege). Hence why they'll never care about teaching, and also why this will end in disaster.
                The real solution is obvious: it's not more tests (which will be cheated on as always), it's more practicum. In fact, get rid of undergrad, just have people train in a career path since young by working as early as 8 or so.

            Question 2:

            The velocity profile of a power law fluid flowing through a cylindrical tube can be derived from the Hagen-Poiseuille equation, which states that the velocity of the fluid at any point within the tube is given by:

            $$v(r) = frac{Q}{pi R^4} cdot frac{1}{n} cdot left( R^2 - r^2 right)$$

            where $Q$ is the volumetric flow rate, $R$ is the radius of the tube, $n$ is the power law index of the fluid, and $r$ is the distance from the center of the tube.

            The volumetric flow rate of the fluid can be calculated using the equation:

            $$Q = int_0^R v(r) cdot 2 pi r , dr$$

            Substituting the expression for $v(r)$ into this equation, we get:

            $$Q = frac{2}{n} int_0^R frac{Q}{pi R^4} cdot left( R^2 - r^2 right) cdot r , dr$$

            Evaluating this integral, we find that the volumetric flow rate is given by:

            $$Q = frac{Q}{n} cdot frac{pi}{4} cdot R^2$$

            Thus, the expression for the velocity profile of a power law fluid flowing through a cylindrical tube of radius $R$ and length $L$ is given by:

            $$v(r) = frac{Q}{pi R^4} cdot frac{1}{n} cdot left( R^2 - r^2 right)$$

            and the expression for the volumetric flow rate is given by:

            $$Q = frac{Q}{n} cdot frac{pi}{4} cdot R^2$$

            These expressions can be used to calculate the velocity profile and flow rate of a power law fluid flowing through a cylindrical tube of given dimensions and properties.

        It generates content organized into an essay written in a manner that you specify. You can always run it through a plagiarism checker and proper spin bot if you really feel the need. The question is what is it even specifically plagiarising? You need some sort of proof. Worst case scenario you edit it in your grammatical style and language but the brunt of the work is done you and a great deal of time is saved. Don't tell me you elitists aren't smart enough to do that while the Chinese cheat more than they brush tbeir teeth.
