    First function is a sine wave, commonly written sin().

    Second function is a cubic (“square”?) polynomial.

    Joke:

    Everyone else’s life: Sin.

    My life: Square.

    Edit: as pointed out, it’s not really square

      It’s not square, though, but cubed. x^2 looks very different. And 2 isn’t an odd number (see title.)

      But if the lower diagram was x^2 (and the axis were labelled correctly) I’d say that’s a proper joke 😃

          I like your joke better 😆 However… If the x-axis was time, you’d have to explain the negative part to me. Or stop at least at -9 months…
