3 AnswersMathematics7 years agoI don't understand why x^2= -1/y +1 can also be written as x^2= y-1/y?
I encountered this while studying and I just don't understand the logic behind it. Could someone please explain to me how these equations are the same? I have added a photo I made in paint if it helps to see it visually.
6 AnswersMathematics7 years agoCould caffeine counteract the effects of xanax?
I'm not feeling the effects of the 0.5mg of xanax that I take twice a day. It does not help alleviate my anxiety at all. Could this be because I drink a lot of coffee? Would that counteract the xanax?
3 AnswersMedicine10 years agoGuinea pig experts: Two baby boars (6 weeks old), from the same litter housed together and fighting?
I adopted two young male cavies a week ago and have them in the same hutch. Originally I only wanted one but have read multiple times that it's much kinder to have two. So they got along fine for the first few days, snuggled up together and were side by side most of the time. Now all of the sudden they are showing signs of aggression to each other.
They're not actually hurting each other but they square off, then lift their noses at each other and kind of lunge at one another. I haven't actually seen them bite each other but they are seeming to butt heads at times. Is this normal behaviour?
Am I going to have to separate these two or are they just establishing who is the dominant boar? Should I be worried?

6 AnswersMental Health10 years agoUsing a Table of SRP, how do I know if a redox reaction will occur or not?
I'm a first year Chem student with an exam in a few days and I'm really struggling to understand Redox reactions. I mean, I get the general concept of the passing of electrons from one compound/element to another, but I don't know how to tell when a redox reaction will occur...? I have access to Tables of Standard Reduction Potentials, but I still don't know exactly how to use it and in which instances a reaction will occur or not??
Any help would be great thanks!!

2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoMy dog's back is always itchy?? It's driving her nuts, I feel really bad.?
It's not fleas. I know that for sure, we treat her all the time and when she has them I can see them.
And it's not mange, I got the vet to check her for that- she doesn't have it. He suggested that its a plant in the garden and gave me a brochure on plants to watch out for. We have none of them and she barely goes near the plants anyway. She cries because of the itch and tries to scratch it on anything she can. I scratch her back all the time but its never enough. Would else could it possibly be? Please help my little Rascal :(

3 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoIs it silly to be jealous over this?
Me and my ex got back together about 2 months ago after a very messy breakup..
Anyways he wants to get this big tattoo on his side of a really hot anime girl. Is it silly that I'm feeling jealous over this? I really don't want him to get it but he's been wanting it for a while. I just feel like every time I look at the tattoo I am going to be thinking that he wishes I looked like her, or that he'd prefer a girl that looked like her.
Should I talk to him about it?

3 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoIs there any way to use system restore after using system recovery?
I had to use system recovery on my Windows XP computer as it was overrun with viruses and was crashing. It wouldn't let me access any anti virus software so recovery was my only real option.
But recovery has wiped all my files (Some of which I really need!!)
So I considered using system restore to return the computer to a few days ago, before the viruses all struck (and when my files were still on the comp). But when I go into system restore and choose to restore my computer to an earlier date, none of the dates are bold and it won't let me go to the previous month either..
Is there anything I can do to get my files back?? Please help me tekkies :(
4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoHow do I workout without ruining my hair?
I know this sounds like a stupid question, but it's obvious that the more I workout and the harder, the more I sweat and shower, and if I have, say, permanenet hair dye, or a complex hair dye job done on my hair, it's going to fade faster, going to get ruined.. seems to be pointless spending lots of money on getting your hair done when it's going to ruin faster.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

1 AnswerPerforming Arts1 decade agoHow do I get over my ex?
We broke up about 6 months ago. I've had another bf in the mean time but I ended that because the whole time I was just missing my ex.
He's made it clear that he doesn't even want to have contact with me. I keep dreaming about him and waking up feeling horrible and lonely.
It's time I move on but I'm struggling with it. What steps should I take to let it go?
8 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHow can I stop being so anxious around people?
I get really anxious around people, or even when thinking about being around people other than my family. I have alot of friends and used to do stuff with them all the time.
But all of the sudden I've just lost contact with them. I get really nervous conversing with anyone. Like I have nothing to say and I hate awkward silence. I avoid people I know just so I won't have to talk to them. I honestly feel more comfortable in a room of complete strangers because I know they won't talk to me.
My psychologist says I have social phobia.. I don't know what to do to change it.. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions as to what I can do or say to make it better?
