HOMEWORK HELP Thread

[Big Mike]

I made this thread woth inspiration from CutlerChris and his homework problems. Post problems with homework here and see if The Elders on these forums can help you with them.

[princefielder28]

I can probably help with US History, Chemistry, Physics, and Math becuase I've taken college courses in high school on these subjects

[Space Ghost]

Why? Why... Why! Why would people ask for help here? Unless they have no access to the telephone, the outer world, parents are dead, no IM service works on their pc and the only page that loads is this one, why would people want advice on homework from here?

[etk]

If I had homework problems I don't think I'd look here......

[Big Mike]

If I had homework problems I don't think I'd look here......

i wouldnt look for help anywhere but a teacher, bul utler Chris wuld. but like i said when it comes to math/scienve sometimes nobody can help nless they have a backround knowlege of it. For Example my mom is a business lady so she probably wouldnt know crap relating to Physics or CHemistry.

[gbpackers0065]

im 25 yrs old and graduated law school i can helpw with a lot......but i wud suggests asking ur parents, teachers, friends or anybody else first

Can somebody write me an essay on one of the following topics:

(1) Does Mill’s “harm principle” allow for enough state intervention in our mutual dealings and exchanges? Why or why not? Give examples.

(2) What does Hobbes mean by a “state of nature”? Do you think he is right to insist that without a very strong government we would descend into such a state? Can you provide any examples to back up your answer?

(3) Compare Nozick and Marx on the problem of private property. Does each individual have an inalienable right to his or her property? What limitations, if any, should the State impose on this right? Be sure to display an awareness of what the opposing view would object to in your position. Can you meet your opponent’s objections?

My predicament is that I don't have any one in my class' phone number, nobodys on MSN, I have no idea what it's even asking, and nobodys responding to the topic on the class discussion forum. I also asked my dad, and he was hella confused. So I am completely desperate at this point.

Does it mean like how fast she was moving or something in order to clear the bar? It's a real vague question and doesn't have a lot of information to go on either.

I remember answering questions like that in Grade 12 Physics. It's asking how fast the person was travelling I believe, they just left out a word.

I can't remember how to do it, sorry. Physics isn't my strong suit.

[critesy]

you see, she is travelling at the speed of light so therefore you have your speed and distance and then just plug it it. :)

Sad thing is I took Political Theory last year and could probably write the first two essays. Unfortunately I don't have time for that. #2 would by far be the easiest though.

I just wrote an entire essay like a week ago on a very similar subject for a Philosophy class I'm in. I wasn't a big fan of the Leviathan, but Hobbes has a lot of valid arguments.

[Moses]

I actually already did that assignment and decided to do #1. I'm a big John Stuart Mill fan so it made the most sense to do.

I refuse to believe that someone who has graduated from law school would use the word "wud". No offense, but if I believed that I would lose all hope in humanity.

I suppose in respect to this thread, I'm useful in regards to talking philosophy and writing, but I suppose if anyone knows how to cure a case of writer's block I'm all ears. I need to pump out an essay by Tuesday and I'm having an utter ***** of a time getting started.

What class is it for?
Physics would be speed or velocity of the pole vaulter I am assuming.
Calculus would be just figuring out the angles and distance's of the triangle but there's not enough info. One side and one angle [you can assume the 90 degree angle opposite the Hypotenuse].

Also, I don't know about that. I think there's to many variables. There needs to be another piece of information.

If it is indeed calculus, use the SOHCAHTOA technique but you would need another angle or side...

Physics I'm rusty on and I would have to look some refreshers up online....

I still think there is missing info.

[snuff]

Romanticism - stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror, and the awe experienced in confronting the sublimity of nature.

Yeah, it's physics. I figured it out, it's asking speed, so I had to use the Total Energy, Kinetic Energy, and Potential Energy thing my class did, and I got it. It's 9.2m/s. Thanks for everyone who helped me out.

Also, critesy, do High School Musical.

wow i hated doing that stuff, physics was a fun class cause my teacher loved doing experiments and demos, not to mention the first day of class he asked us what we knew, when someone said something he replied how do you know, then another class he jumped from table to table dude was crazy. but i hated doing the math because im lazy with math,im good at it which is probably why im lazy.

Love Portfolio

In the song Do You Remember by Jack Johnson, love flows throughout the whole two minutes and twenty-four seconds of it. If I were to go on a date of some sort, I would definitely play this song in my car because it is that mood setting type of song, to go along with some fancy lyrics. Jack starts the song off by saying, “Do you remember when we first met, I sure do.” This is very romantic because girls love it when guys remember small things like that. Jack goes on to say, “You made me wait around, I was so crazy about you, I didn’t mind. So I was late for class, I locked my bike to yours, it wasn’t hard to find, you painted flowers on. Guess that I was afraid that if you rode away you might not roll back.” This is ‘cute’ too because it starts off saying how he is so crazy for this one girl and he did not mind if he was late for class, just so he could see her. He then locked his bike up to hers so she could not ride away from him (I do not think she would of anyway with this type of poet). Lines later Jack says, “Well I was crazy about you then and now the craziest thing of all, over 10 years have gone by and you’re still mine, were locked in time.” This is almost the definition of love right here as ten years ago they were together, being crazy for each other and are still together being, yes, crazy for each other. I hope you enjoyed listening to Jack and I, and how he is such a stud.

Romanticism isn't about love.... You completely missed the romanticism movement...

well the exact assignment was


Bring to class one example of...
- how love is represented in literature, poetry, art, sculpture, or music.

Or

- How love intimacy and romance are depicted in the mass media

Be ready to explain how/why your example is representative of love in our culture. What does it mean or represent? Why is it romantic?

Romanticism isn't about love.... You completely missed the romanticism movement...

yeah it could be like an "adventure" but i think his was about love

If you can D/L songs, Spill Canvas ~ The Tide is a great song.

It's kind of like anti love and all the heartbreak and all it brings and then the end (the chorus changes) and does the 180...It's a ballad, a story and is defiantly worth the time to listen to...

p.s. the song is long, like 5+mins, but still worth a listen...Esp if you like softer acoustic.

EDIT: I don't know why I didn't think of PureVolume.com http://www.purevolume.com/albums/thespillcanvas/sunsetsandcarcrashes then click on The Tide...

One number is twice another. Their sum is 120. Find the numbers.. I know the answer is 40 and 80, but i dont know how to show my work. I hate the beginning of the year, because your rusty on everything.

[Geo]

In math and physics, it always help to break down what you have and analyze from there.

One number is twice another.
So we have X and 2X.

Their sum is 120.
We can now say that X + 2X = 120.

Find the numbers.
X + 2X = 120
=> 3X = 120
=> X = 40.

Thus, the numbers are 40 and 80.

One number is 6 more than twice another number. Their sum is 30. FInd both numbers..

[Vikes99ej]

College has some of the dumbest homework ever.

[UKfan]

X + (2X + 6) = 30
=> 3X + 6 = 30

the sum of four consecutive even integers is 44. What are the numbers. The answer is 8, 10, 12, and 14, but once again i dont know how to show the work.

[UKfan]

You need to solve

X + (X + 2) + (X + 4) + (X + 6) = 44
and then you should get X = 8 etc...

A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 40.0 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 3.04 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock? Assume the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.

Can anyone validate 21.2 m/s???

[awfullyquiet]

No science geniuses? Even a guess?

two ways.
magnet...
and then pour the sand and salt into water...
let the salt dissolve.
separate the salt and water.
and boil the salt...

the other way would be to melt off the iron (iron has a lower melting point than salt and sand), and then separate the salt and water... thats for brownie points.

[draftguru151]

Can anyone validate 21.2 m/s???

It's 17.17. I made the mistake to think the time given was the time it took from the rock to go from the cliff to the water, I didn't think it counted the time of sound too.

The revenue, R, recieved for selling x computers is given by the formula
R= -x2/5 + 80x-500. How many computers must be sold to obtain the maximum revenue?

***x2 means x squared

this is how you do it.
for my 1k post.

you take the derivitave of the equasion. r=(-x^2)/5+80x-500.

the derivitave of that is r'=-2x/5+80 (if you don't know how to get that let me know)

you solve for r'=-2x/5+80 (which is 200). 200 is the tangent point on the r equasion.

200 = 7500
201 = 7499.8
199 = 7499.8

200 is the correct answer.

and i know binary and hex too gbs
i do the computer science thing kinda well.
considering i am a programmer.

[Green Bay Scat]

Binary is really easy, hexadecimals are kinda hard, also adding and subtracting them, but i just think its stupid

[awfullyquiet]

Thank you very much, but can you tell me how you got the derivative of the initial problem?

no prob.

to get to -2x/5+80 from -x^2/5+80x-500 comes to reducing the power of the variable by one.
so x2 would become x... and you multiply the coefficient by the power you reduced it from (which would be two). so it becomes -2x^1... since 80x is already at the first power 80*1 is still 80. and x^0 will always = 1. 500, since it doesn't have a variable attached to it becomes 0. and then you mark it as r'= -2x/5+80 because it's the original equasion derived (the r' is noted as r prime)...

so... i hope that worked? you're probably just starting calc one right?
it's a basic concept that you'll get really good at soon.

i'm not really nerdy either. i played in rock bands.
it's alright. there's not that many nerds.

it also depends on what your programming on how big of nerds you'll encounter. if you stick with ajax, .net, cfml, sql and oracle based programming, you'll be among the least nerdy.

when you start programming in ancient technology, then then nerds come out.

the pay is good. i don't dress up all the time. and i'm not really a 'programmer'... i used to be by trade... even though i'm an engineer (and not a CS style engineer, like a real, bread and butter Mechie)... nowadays, i just oversee programmers and data analysts and suck off a few middle management gurus and project managers to make sure what i'm planning goes without hitches. lots and lots of analysis. (i'm what you'd call a business analyst)

[KCJ58]

current but both if you know the past as well

[awfullyquiet]

Iran is run by a group of shia clerks who allow certain individuals to run for office. In that particular manner, where it's not specifically run by the monastic element, it is dictated by it.

Vatican City is definitely a theocratic city state with itself being run by Archbishop Lajolo. He's basically 'in charge' of it all. Delegating printing, security, and all taxation of vatican lands. (all .44 square miles of it)..

Uh. Branch Davidaism (think david koresh), did that on a smaller scale outside of waco. Where it wasn't a full fledge government, but on a small scale of trying to secede from the 'outside world' to protect themselves from the oncoming apocolypse.

Jonestown and Peoples temple, it was a settlement in guayana... theocracy by way of brutality. Most of you kids were too young. I was even too young.

[awfullyquiet]

the branch davidians and jonestown are the first things that come to mind? how weird. i mean, if we're speaking in the past, the taliban would've been a pretty easy adherent example.

haha. i like creative examples?

hell we could have even talked about early american history, the spanish inquisition, it all depends on what you define as religion? a set of common ideals? you could have cold war russia in that state. the state religion which controlled the government was the sole belief in the stalinist state and his essential ultimate control as the leader (because honestly, why would you have the battle of st. petersburg if you didn't have some fanatical fervent of pseudo-relgious ideals?)

okay. so yes. the taliban too was a good example. teachers like creativity too? because everyone saying the taliban would be boring to discuss...

i forgot the non-adherent examples.
sorry.

norway. official state church - lutheran. constantly trying to detach the the church from the state due to rising muslim populations.

england. official state church - anglican. the head of the anglican church is technically queen elizabeth the second, or the current head of state for england. but. the vestigal parts of the monarchy exist but hold no power, and thus is not a theocracy. ditto canada and australia (in some grand way).

A couple problem solving questions...

1.) What could be the next term in this sequence:

2, 10, 202,...

2.) An unusual die has six faces labeled 1,2,3,5,7,9. If two of these dice are rolled and the numbers showing on the upper faces are added, what is the probability of rolling a sum of 10?

[UKfan]

2.) An unusual die has six faces labeled 1,2,3,5,7,9. If two of these dice are rolled and the numbers showing on the upper faces are added, what is the probability of rolling a sum of 10?

You can only get a sum of 10 by rolling 1 and 9 or 3 and 7 or 5's. Obviously the numbers can occur on each dice so there are 2 ways of getting 1 and 9, 3 and 7, 5's. So there are 6 ways of rolling a sum of 10. There are 6 possibilities on each dice so 36 different combinations can be achieved in total. Therefore the probability is 6/36 or 1/6.

There's probably an easier way of explaining what I said, but I am pretty sure it's right. I'm having a brain fart on number 1, I'll have a think.

Well you probably should have read it, but in The Metamorphosis, the main character wakes up one day and is a bug and his family like hates him, and in the end he kills himself. Not much help, I know. Look for a summary of it cause I'm sure you could find some cliff notes that talk about it and existentialism.

At least one of these should help.

hahah we just read this. Are you in AP Senior English?

It's mostly the isolation, depression, guilt, etc. he feels because he's unable to provide for his family. His family honestly doesn't really care about him when he was in human state, they were all about the cash he brought in. They eventually become disgusted with him and are actually overjoyed that the monstrosity died, but the story is basically the huge disconnect that becomes wider as a result of him getting animalized.

OH OH also, as a human, he pretty much was robotic. He doesn't appreciate art or beauty, doesn't form friendships, has no soul but to work and support his family. Wasn't even love anymore for them, more like instinct. But when he becomes a bug, he becomes "human", and appreciates the beauty of his sister playing the violin, gets aroused sexually, and loves his family and desires their love in return. In a sense he's more human as a bug than as a man.

If you need anymore help just ask, I know i didn't really relate it to the prompt real well but we finished it a couple weeks ago and i tried to get my thoughts all down just now.

I really don't know if this is helpful but I would say 3 out of every 5 kids I see around my campus are listening to iPods between walking to class. Not really sure it is a growing trend but with some research I bet 7 years ago it was a lot different.

You could probably make an argument for the use of laptops in class / lectures also and see if there is a connection between how high tech the school is.

Funny you mention those ideas . . . the I-Pod story is alreayd being done by more than a couple people in my class. I don't want to do the same story.

But as for laptop usage, I consider that as a possibility at this point. Seems like a lot more people are bringing laptops to class these days . . . my University has wireless internet all over campus . . .

I'm just not sure if there are any true statistics available that I could use to make my argument for this . . . I'd like to consider more options . . .

We often hear people speak of "the Church" in the Middle Ages as if the Church was a monolithic entity, directing all actions in Christendom. Yet over the course of the semester we’ve talked about how Christianity was more complex than this, that it included a variety of individuals such as monks and nuns, bishops and the Pope, as well as the laity, and that it changed over time. Discuss the ideal of “the Church” and the ideal of a pope who leads Christendom (i.e. papal monarchy) put forth by numerous individuals. Also discuss when this ideal was closest to being realized (specific time period and events) and how it fell out of favor with the crises in the church, and society, in the Late Middle Ages

any really good spanish speakers here? gotta write a paragraph in espanol and could perhaps use some help translating when i start it

[Paul]

For my Computer Science Class. Question for all the adults who has actually done some grown up things in there lives:

EXERCISE 1:
1.You are considering purchasing a used car that will cost you $15,000. You will be making a down payment of $2,500. You've agreed to an annual interest rate (APR) of 7.5%, with payments of $199 per month. Enter these values into the spreadsheet.

2.What is the dealer's cost for the vehicle? _____

3.At the end of the first year, what is the approximate value of your vehicle? _____

4.How much will you owe on your loan at the end of the first year? _____

5.At the end of the first year, will you be "upside down" (owe more than the vehicle is worth)? _____

6. Assuming you never miss a payment, approximately how many years will it take before you are no longer "upside down"? _____

7.Approximately how many years will it take to pay off your car loan? _____

8.Let's assume you decide to trade the car in for a new car at the end of the third year. What might be the negative aspects of such a transaction? _____


Some how I'm suppose to do all the calculation on Excel. And I'm a computer savy guy, but excel is my Achilles Heel. I'm a business major I should know this , yes. But this stuff just went over my head. Anyone with a clue?

[MetSox17]

2. The dealer's cost i assume would be whatever is left to be paid, so at the point of sale is 12500. (not very sure about that one)

3. Using the future value formula, the value of your down payment in one year would be $2403.84. Add that to the growing future value of each payment you make ($185.98) monthly ($2231.77 total) and the nominal value is $4635.61.

4. No clue yet. (i'll edit later)

5. Yes, obviously

6. See 4

7. See 6

8. Well after you adjust what you've paid for to the inflation after the third year, you'll realize that to anyone else that car is no where near worth what you've paid for it. The only person that car has the value you paid for, is you.

And if you do it to take out another car, the vicious cycle starts again.

We're going through some of this stuff in Micro, but i'm a good ways from entering my Finance core, so i did what i could to help, and for some good ol practice since i'm probably gonna be doing this for a good chunk of my life.

If it's wrong, please correct it so i can learn myself.

I'm taking a stance as to what things could be changed to make it more efficient, seeing as there's millions of people that rip off the Government when it comes to food stamps, medicaid, unemployment.. etc.

I'm focusing mostly on the Welfare part, and not the other two, so if anyone could hit me up with some good sources, opinions or ideas, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

+rep!

You people not motivated by rep points anymore? I thought that was all you cared about? http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

Try something like the increased use of Facebook to spread social issues a la Jena Six, gas prices, support for VT and UC college campus shootings, breast cancer awareness.

[djp]

Well, looks like I am late.

Damn.

[MetSox17]

Well, looks like I am late.

Damn.

Yeah, about a year late lol.

Now help me get some pub for my topic!

I need ideas, and i can't seem to find any good sites googling.

[PackerLegend]

Well, looks like I am late.

Damn.

Anyone out there?!

[bhaarat316]

Illegal Immgrants rip off Welfar by comming into the country pregnant or having kids born here. Then the kids get money since they are U.S. citizens, like food stamps and stuff.

1 example i saw a while backs was a family had 2 or 3 kids where get 18,000 dollars in income from the government. Not from working from the government because they were illegal but there kids where born here they were the ages of 6, 2, 3.

Also Illegal immagrants have their own IRS code to get welfare even though they shouldn't. something about they don't pay taxes and eventaully will get S.S.

[bhaarat316]

Also Welfare that could be used for citizens end up be spend on illegals. We us there is some number out there that tell how much.

People rip off unemployment all the time especially in the inner cities and places with poverty. Making up injuries and thing of taht nature.

[roidrunner]

legalization of mary jane, and have the taxes put towards publicly funding college for all students

[MetSox17]

Thanks for the help guys, I definitely did end up using those examples you brought up bharaat. There's some crazy numbers out there that everyone should look into, but this is neither the proper time or place to discuss them.

And roid, i'll hit you up with some rep as soon as i can, apparently i've been giving too much in the past 24 hours lol.

Get rid of them all.

Of course, that doesn't make for a good paper, and you've already written it, but...hah.

I need help for some homework due at 4.

1. Nonconstant growth.
Microtech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings, hence it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Microtech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1 coming three years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 50% per year - during years four and five, but after year five, growth shoul dbe a constant 8% per year. If the required return on Microtech is 15%, what is the value of the stock today?

2. Nonconstant growth. Mitts Cosmetics Co.'s stock price is $58.88, and it recently paid a $2 dividend. This dividend is expected to grow by 25% for the next three years, and then grow forever at a constant rate, g, and r(s)=12%. At what constnat rate is the stock expected to grow after year three?

I'm a little stumped with these two, thanks in advance for whoever can help! *looks nervously at AQ*.

[MetSox17]

No, i'm not taking the easy way out Bruce, i was just wondering if anyone could help cause i was stuck with those two problems.

[PackerLegend]

You have to remember, i sleep from 5pm to 11pm central time.

Question for you. Do all asians get little sleep? The two asian girls below me always seem to be up until 5 and wake up early. WTF is up with that? I heard from a girl at school that the asians at her house do the same.

[awfullyquiet]

I need help for some homework due at 4.



i can actually help you with those.

it's due 4am? or 4pm?

if it's 4pm i'll have more time seeing as i have meetings most of today.

no. i get little sleep because i have to work so damn much.
you have two azn girls below you... ...?

besides. that's 7 hours. ish. give or take an hour or two.

I do indeed have two asians living on the first floor. I would ask them about this lack of sleep thing but they only emerge from their room at 4 or so in the morning to talk loudly to each other in I think Mandarin (I have no idea).

Chinks. Hated it. Mandarin is hella raspy and guttural... yuck.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I will sound like a complete prick here because I have never learned any of these asian languages and therefore cannot differentiate between them so it may not be Mandarin. There food seems very chinese to me though. They eat a **** ton of noodles and only eat with chopsticks. They also leave dishes out for weeks after making their food.

[Bruce Banner]

Talking about azns in an academic thread. Nice.

Gross. Really though, distinguishing between azns is an acquired skill. And most azns eat noodles. but it depends on what noodles they're made of.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Azns = super smart = academic

This is all connected.

[Shane P. Hallam]

My homework is actually on Asians this week. Crazy. (no joke)

[awfullyquiet]

there are PLENTY of dumb azns.
don't forget that.

[Dr. Gonzo]

there are PLENTY of dumb azns.
don't forget that.

I won't. I have yet to really meet one though. I mean I am sure a few azns I have briefly talked to have been dumb but all the ones I know are hard workers and seem smart enough. I really do not know to many azns though :(

[awfullyquiet]

i'm glad we're on the same page now. ;)

[d34ng3l021]

My high school was majority asian. like 60-80 %. we were ranked as like the 70th best HS in california. probably because of them.

but due to the large sample size, i saw asians from both categories. some were downright idiots.

and it's not like they are genetically predisposed to being smarter. They just study a lot for whatever reason.

Doctor or bust expectations?

pressure from parents. azn parents so strict.

[Shane P. Hallam]

We actually just studied this. Yeah, mostly parental and family support. Also in Japan there is a triangulation of Parents, Media, and government support for education, even though the teachers suck ass, the students do well.

[Bruce Banner]

No desire to gain a PhD level in everything ≠ laziness.

[awfullyquiet]

true. but it's not the rule. this topic is way past homework help. poor metsox won't even know that when i stop working at 8pm, i'll be able to give him a hand with his nonconstant and constant growth problem (which if you read this, the first one is a constant growth for 3 years, and then a non constant for 2 years)

[Dr. Gonzo]

i think white people are just lazy.

I 100 percent agree.

[awfullyquiet]

And it's not necessarily pressure. It's why white folks parents who tend to have some academic degree of professorship tend to have kids who also reach some professorship level.

doctors spawn other doctors.

Well those were actually for thursday, so i'm screwed, lol, but i appreciate the would-be help. Next time ill post with more than a few hours to spare haha.

I have a Eassy due this week and the topic my teacher gave me..its hard to think of ideas to write about i just need some ideas to write about. Any ideas would help!!!

heres the prompt

"Write an essay showing you or someone else's entry into a specific public space (for exampe, a bus, party, elevator, or table at the library) influenced other people's behavior. Identify the possible reasons that thers reacted as they did, and explain how their reactions, in turn, affected the newcomer. User your analysis to reach some conclusions about human nature"

The easiest one here would be something about race.

Regardless of what angle you take, things you may notice about human nature would obviously scripted responses/interaction (polite fictions) or sociocultural presumptions about certain people and etc., it's a pretty easy assignment.

Yeah i got that part, but its the organizing it into a essay is whats making it difficult for me. I was watching this video on youtube earlier similar to this essay its pretty funny.

heres my advice, just dont laugh because im totally serious:

when i go to bed before a test, i put my notes under a pillow; idk how it works but i've never gotten below a B when i've done it

i had a real big political science test (10 multiple choice questions, 3 essays--30, 25, 19 points each) and i got an '88' on it (90 is an A)

im telling you it works; i've told 3 other people to try it, and they are believers
