  • What is a good FREE app/software to monitor an android phone?

    I need to find a good FREE (not free # day trial) to monitor phone call and text messages on an android cell phone. GPS location would be a plus. It has to be FREE since I only plan to use it for a week or 2 so I don't want to invest in an expensive software. I don't want to use any free trials due to after the trial ends the software will most likely as the user of the phone to purchase the full version giving away that fact that they were being monitored. It has to be completely stealth on the users phone. Any good suggestions ?

  • Boolean algebra rule?

    I am trying to simplify something easy, but it has been a while and ive forgotten some rules:

    (a + b) * (~b + c) =? (a * ~b) + (a * c) + (b * ~b) + (b * c) =? [a * (~b + c)] + [b * (~b + c)]

    ok so far i have: a(~b+c) + b(~b+c)

    there is a rule for this but i cant remember do both the (~b+c) just cancel out like in regular math or what is the rule?

    The final answer should be: (a + c)

    I know there are other steps that be be taken to simplify differently, however I want to know what to do when your in this situation: a(~b+c) + b(~b+c)

  • integrate Taylor series function?

    I am writing a algorithm to test how fast the area under a function can be found. My function is e^(-x^2). when i integrate the function from -3 to 3 i get about 1.77241. Next i tried to compute the area of the function again, but i converted the function to the first 5 non zero terms in the taylor series. I got: 1-x^2+x^4/2-x^6/6+x^8/24+O(x^9) where O(x^9) is the error. when i integrate 1-x^2+x^4/2-x^6/6+x^8/2 from -3 to 3 i get 2119.46 which is not even close to the real integral. how do i compute the area under the taylor series version of the function to get a similar answer to 1.77. Shouldnt the regular function and the taylor series function be equal (except for the error term), which would make the integrals equal???

  • i bet u cant solve this?

    Two speakers separated by distance d1 = 2.30 m are in phase. You are standing 3.90 m directly in front of one speaker. Each speaker has an output power of 1.80 W. Because the speakers are at different distances, there will be frequencies at which the sound from the speakers interferes destructively. But because the speakers are at different distances, the sound intensities will not be the same, so the destructive interference will not be complete. We want to find the sound level when there is destructive interference. Use 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air.

    Distance from the far speaker to ur ear = 4.528m

    Lowest frequency that gives minimum signal (destructive interference) at your ear = 273.0892 Hz

    Second lowest frequency that gives minimum signal = 819.268 Hz

    Intensity from the near speaker = .00942 W/m2

    Intensity from the far speaker = .00699 W/m2

    What is the combined intensity during destructive interference? W/m2

    What is the sound level during destructive interference? dB

  • sinusoidal oscillator?

    A string, tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at P and running over a support at Q, is stretched by a block of mass m. The separation L between P and Q is 1.30 m, and the frequency f of the oscillator is fixed at 120 Hz. The amplitude of the motion at P is small enough for that point to be considered a node. A node also exists at Q. A standing wave appears when the mass of the hanging block is 286.1 g or 447.0 g, but not for any intermediate mass.

    What is the linear density of the string?

    MORE: OSCILATOR-----POINT P --------------------POINT Q

    Extending down from Q is the hanging BLOCK also assume n=4
