  • What are the steps to make an app/extension?

    I need to make an iphone app / browser extension but I don't know how to code well and I have no money.

    It looks like most of the "DIY" sites cater to if you have a restaurant or something that's been done before.

    To hire a team I'd need money, do I just go to investors with a business plan? Do I need a non-disclosure? Where do I start?

  • how do you average top four exam grades of five exams?

    I have a class that's 5 exams only, no other grades, but he'll drop the lowest grade. I usually make an excel spreadsheet for all of my grades and can easily just ignore and/or the low grade manually, but I like to geek out on excel if at all possible.

    Is there a way to eliminate the low number and average the top 4 grades?

    What would be the formula for G2 in the following table?

    1 2

    A Exam 1 100

    B Exam 2 100

    C Exam 3 100

    D Exam 4 100

    E Exam 5 95

    F

    G Top 4 Avg 100

    Let me be clear, I UNDERSTAND that I CAN DO IT MANUALLY so that answer is unacceptable.

    Thank you

  • maximizing profit Lagrange?

    someone already answered a similar question... I have the answer and need verification because I am new to this process and my teacher isn't very good at teaching (very smart probably though). Just figure I'll put all my homework on here to verify my answers and processes.

    Suppose the profit for a firm selling two products X and Y is given by

    f(x,y)=x^2+4y^2-xy

    where x and y are the amounts of goods X and Y being produced.

    Due to capacity constraint, the firm faces the following constraint x+2y=100

    Please don't just give me answers, if possible step by step for me so I can see where I went wrong if I end up getting the answer wrong.

    Thank you

  • minimize cost of a making a given level of total benefit?

    Sorry I'm not learning much from this class and would like some clarification as my instructor will not give me any.

    A decision maker wishes to minimize the cost of making a given level of total benefit of 288.

    The cost function is and the total benefit function is given by

    C=6x+3y

    and the total benefit function is given by

    B(x,y)=xy

    a) determine the level of x and y that minimize total cost.

    b) What is the minimum level value of cost?

    I can do the math, I just need the process by which to do the math... My instructor may be smart, but english is his second language so it's all lost in translation.

    Thank you

  • max of a function subject to constraint?

    First of all, my instructor is not following the book, english is his second language and fails to understand student questions to answer them. Any "pay attention in class" will be reported.

    I don't need the math or answer, just the process but here's the problem.

    B(x,y)=3x+xy+y

    subject to the constraint

    4x+2y=70

    a)Determine the levels of x and y that max total benefit subj. to constraint.

    b)what is max level of benefit?

    If someone could explain the process in plain english I will understand but I just can't seem to find a reliable source on kahn or youtube to explain it and my teacher is doing a heck of a job avoiding answering questions.

    Also I have a TI-89 Titanium if someone has a process tree I can use.

    Thank You

  • Can my roommate kick me out without 30 days notice?

    I am "being evicted" because my roommate owns the house and wants to live alone. I have not done anything "wrong" or anything else he just doesn't want a roommate anymore.

    He let me know he wants me out by March 1st and verbally let me know by Feb 13. I have lived here since December 2011, the entire 2012 and January of 2013.

    A lease contract was not signed so that he could "evict" on a whim like this however My understanding is that regardless I will get 30 days to find suitable housing regardless according to the law.

    Am I correct?

  • Leaders of my organization do not value what I bring to the table, how do I rectify this?

    I am an older member of a college fraternity (27) I have been in the military and have worked in several professional environments before. I feel as if I am not given a chance to voice my opinion and interpretation of the facts in the leadership community and wonder if I should even continue trying.

    We have so far began to decline since I have joined and I personally blame lack of experience of the leadership.

    I have lead soldiers into combat, and professionals in the business place but yet I'm faced with paying money to belong to an organization that does not better any of the members and will not listen to the "regular members" pleading for more opportunities for personal growth.

    How do I come across as an important person to listen to?

    Or should I just cut ties and move on?

  • how can I get my girlfriend to be more active and maybe lose some weight in the process?

    She just seems really lethargic and I know when I workout in the mornings I have more energy throughout the day. Her job is a desk job and we're both in college so that doesn't help.

    When we're together I feel like either we are eating or watching TV or movies.

    I she has gained a bit of weight and I like a thick woman but there comes a time where thick turns to fat and she's getting there fast. I try to cook healthy foods but when she's not eating with me it's fried fast foods and sweets. Hamburgers, Fries, Cupcakes, Fried Chicken, Globs of sour cream, ranch dressing, and mayo on EVERYTHING.

    I've tried to be as sensitive about this as possible and she is just gaining weight. I have no Idea what she weighs but she's getting a rather large midsection and the love handles have become a medium to large inner tube, not cute.

    Her stamina is just not there and I can't influence her to go to the gym with me and just sit on the bike and burn calories while watching the TV or talking to me, or an elliptical machine or a walk or anything.

    I have gotten her to go to the park at sunset and just walk, but it's leisurely and really doesn't burn the kind of calories she intakes.

    Is there anything I can do to influence her to be a bit more active and healthy?

    Her family is thin so I know it's pure lifestyle choices. Lethargy and Habitual Eating and Snacking can kill a metabolism. and she thinks a snack is a hamburger and french fries.

    I'm a veteran and am pretty healthy and have an aversion to extremely obese people. I think that it's a problem in this country and will flag anyone that comments negatively on this issue. Please if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it.

    Most importantly I love her and don't want to lose her because her cholesterol destroys her heart or has some problem later in life because of her habits.

    Thanks

  • is it legal to charge a fee to break a rental contract AND require someone to find a replacement tenant?

    I signed a contract to stay in these apartments however I need to move out in January. This is before the contract is up.

    To get out of the contract I am required to find a new tenant as well as pay a $500 fee, and also pay for whatever wear and tear isn't considered "normal" which will be anything they feel like.

    I feel that if I pay the money to break the contract, it's no longer my responsibility to find someone to lease the apartment.

    Is this legal in Texas to require ME to find a replacement AND pay a contract breaking fee?

    Also the building is not in code and hasn't been in quite a while. Exit signs and emergency lighting systems are torn down by drunks. Trash is everywhere.

    My roommates are extremely dirty to include letting their dishes mold and completely ignoring requests by me to clean them. not taking trash out but bagging it and placing it by the door.

    The name also says "Luxury student living" so in court I feel that I could make a claim that this is by far NOT the definition of Luxury, although not expecting gilded door handles etc the amount of trash and litter as well as dog feces, mold, inadequate safety measures would therefore break my contract.

    What are my next steps to successfully get out of the contract with the least effect on my wallet.

  • Can soap rhyme with boat?

    The p was in question. If the first ends with a certain letter can the rhyming word end with a different letter.

    I was playing a drinking game with friends and lost the rhyme portion because I said soap rhymed with boat, oat, moat, float and other words that ended in OAT or OTE etc.

  • I have a .ISO OS that I can't seem to put on my computer.?

    I'm trying to put a software configuration on one computer, if I just burn the *.ISO file into the disk like a regular file (i.e. .wma, .docx) will it boot or do I have to do something special...

    It's not booting and saying that the media is failing before even asking me to insert the boot disk. I'm wondering if it's the media drive (brand new hardware, not homemade) or my boot disc.

    specifically it's saying media drive fail then on the next line down saying insert bootable CD ROM and press any key

    I'm using Vista (I know) to burn the CD and there's a program in vista to make a boot disc but it's asking for an .img file instead of the .ISO that I have to install.

    There's hardware that needs to be recognized during the install that I didn't have plugged in, however we're not getting to even begin with the disc, so I don't think that's the problem.

    Got any troubleshooting tips? and if you can point be in the direction of the "any" key I'd be grateful (j/k)

    I'd like to stay away from the outrageous patterns that you would find on the slopes like neon cammo etc. and go with a nice earthy brown or black. Something respectable in town.
