...such as an application for a scholarship, a school, etc...

Since I am 25% of one [general] background & nearly 75% of another, can I still mark the 25%? or only the 75%?

Thanks!

It seems like they are. It makes sense to me that they would be, in order to get that augmented sixth interval (having, often, a flat to a sharp...though not always). BUT I'm not sure. Also, how would you notate an augmented sixth chord? Thanks for your help!

Ok, so this is going to sound verrrry nerdy.....:P but I don't know the exact words, or I'd just google it (which I've tried).

I THINK the chorus starts "there's a place" (no, not the Beatles) but I can't remember any other words, just part of the chorus melody.

It's not in C, but let's pretend it is. Here's the names of the "notes" on how the chorus goes, hopefully you'll be able to understand what I'm saying. THANKS! =)

C D E C D A A C D E-D C G G G F E C C G G G F E B B (repeat)

Hopefully that's understandable! Your help is appreciated :)

So, this might sound like a "dumb" question...but oh well! :P

So we have this waffle iron...this one:

And, it's the kind that you flip, but, it's not browning the waffle enough, & it barely tastes cooked. I can't find the manual, but if I remember correctly (which I don't think I do) you're supposed to flip it right after you pour the batter & close the lid. Then you just flip it right-side-up & take it out when the green light goes off. BUT...it's not cooking the waffle as much as I'd like, even on Maximum power/heat. I tried leaving it right-side-up til the green light goes off, then flipping, but that didn't seem to work either. (Oh, & I did use the cooking spray.)

Someone else have this kind of waffle maker? or know what I'm doing wrong? I swear I'm not a "bad" cook, I just forgot something ;) Thanks!!! =)

I'm finishing my first year of college as a Piano Performance major, & I'm finishing the Brahms Two Rhapsodies (no. 2) & am getting close(r) to finishing Rachmaninoff's Prelude in Gm (op. 23 no. 5). I need to pick up another piece or two that are not of the same genre/time as Rach (for the summer/upcoming semester). Any suggestions? P.S. Last semester I did the Schumann Drei Romanzen op. 28 No. 1 (Bb m), Debussy Suite Bergamasque Prelude, & the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata.

So yeah, any suggestions? Something that's challenging (but something I can handle) but a lot of fun!

THANKS! =)

Hey all,

So, I was able to get all my problems but this one. I got:

int( x / (sqrt(x+5)) dx)

Looks like I gotta use U-substitution.

SO,

Let x+5 = u.

Therefore, deriving this equation,

1 dx = du

So, I replace the dx with du.

I now have

int( x / (sqrt(u)) du)

--------now what?

I thought maybe I could substitute u for just x, but that wouldn't do anything.

What should I do to solve this problem????

THANKS! =)

Hi everyone. I'm wanting to by a computer notation software program (Sibelius or Finale), but I want one that I can actually hook up with the keyboard - not the on-screen MIDI keyboard, but an ACTUAL, tangible one - play the notes on the keyboard, and the notes show up on the screen. I don't know if one or both of those have that capability...and if so, how to change the settings so the computer recognizes the keyboard. HELP would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

Hi,

Ok, so here's my problem. I'm supposed to find the intervals on which this function is increasing / decreasing.

f(x) = 2x^2 - 8(x^4)

That gives me

f'(x) = 4x - 32x^3

So to find x, I set it to equal 0.

0 = 4x - 32x^3

0 = 4x(1 - 8x^2)

Which gives me

4x = 0

and

1 - 8x^2 = 0

===>

x = 0

and

1 = 8x^2

1/8 = x^2

x = (positive and negative) sqrt(1/8)

So I got x = 0, (positive and negative) sqrt(1/8)

(Typing "infinity" as "INF" and "-infinity" as "-INF") that gives me these intervals:

(-INF, -(sqrt(1/8)))

(-(sqrt(1/8)), 0)

(0, (sqrt(1/8)))

((sqrt(1/8)), INF)

So I set up a little chart.

Headings for the column are as such:

Interval | 4x | (1-8x^2) | f'(x) | f is...

First column, I write the interval;

Second column, I write whether plugging in a number from said interval into 4x will give me a positive or negative number;

Third column, do the same thing, only with (1-8x^2) instead of 4x;

Fourth column, I multiply the results from the previous two columns (e.g. positive * negative = negative);

Fifth column, I write "increasing" or "decreasing," depending on whether the fourth column says "positive" or "negative" (e.g. if the fourth column says positive, I put "increasing").

I found that on the intervals (-INF, -(sqrt(1/8))) and (-(sqrt(1/8)), 0), the function was increasing; on the intervals (0, (sqrt(1/8))) and ((sqrt(1/8)), INF), I found the function to be decreasing...

...only, that poses a problem. How could two intervals, between two zeros of f'(x), both be increasing or both be decreasing?

Ok, so here's the deal. I'm given the equation

(6^(6x))(6x).

so it's like

^^ 6x

^6x

6

if that works :P

[I put the "^^" to indicate that it was the exponent of 6's exponent.]

Anyway, so I'm supposed to read it as being equal to

6^(f(x)).

And I gotta find what f(x) is.

So, it's gotta be (6x)^(6x), right?

So then how am I supposed to simplify that?

ok, so, it's a Windows Movie Maker Projects (.MSWMM), and I need to convert it to a Windows Media Video (.WMV), so I can play it on a DVD. one of my friends was like "oh yeah, just go File > Export".....but there is no such thing there :( & Movie Maker is the only software I have (unless there's another program that is standard to a Windows XP) =P tried Nero & that didn't work either. How can I put it on a DVD?

Thanks for your help :)

I know that for a quarter note, 8th note, 16th, etc, it just means play it quick, short & detached. Does it mean the same for the half note? That you just hit it that once & there is silence?

Thanks! =)

I thought it was eruptar, but then looking online to double-check, that's not what I found. and I can't find my spanish thesaurus, which i had last week or so. Help! is it eruptar?

thanks! =)

I'm researching the Jehovah's Witness denomination & doing a report on it, & I've tried googling a typical Jehovah's Witness church service, & I even tried youtube. Came up with nothing. Do you have anything? or if you're JW, what's your typical service like? Do you call it a church service? or something else?

Thanks so much!! :]

What's a good place to go--not EXTREEEEEEEEEEMELY expensive--that's in the US (preferably not in CA or NY) for a senior class trip of about 20 students + sponsors?

I'm looking for rascal flatts tickets at the Savemart Center in Fresno...but a "convienence charge" there is $12...& hey, $12 is $12....lol. but generally is it cheaper to just buy on-site? (before the event obviously) ;P

I want to find "When You Love Somone Like That" by Reba McEntire & LeAnn Rimes, but I can't find it anywhere!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

got the new iPhone 3G & tried to find an app so I can turn the phone sideways & the keyboard will turn with the phone. I tried the app "Sideways" but it didn't really work the way I wanted to :( anyone know the right application?? Thanks!! =)

how long would that take to fly? :]

I'm trying to get pics off my memory card (memory stick Pro Duo) & I got the adapter thing plugged in, but the computer's not even registering that the card is in! I've tried wiggling it around, & it's not getting through. Help!! & thanks ;]
