  • Finding equation from a sine graph?

    I've got a diagram full of graphs that make upa picture. I'm trying to get all of the equations. There are linear graphs, quadratics and sine graphs. I need some help with the sine graph.

    It starts at the (10,5) point, then does a ~ shape to end on (22,5). It only does the ~ process the one time.

    I am unsure of which rule to use and what process to do to get the equation from this graph, but any help will be appreciated, and the first correct answer that helps will get the 10 points.

  • URGENT 'solving for x'-type help needed!!!?

    I'm working on an assignment for maths, and I have find when some tortoises running a race reached the 10 metre finish line. The equations for the 3 tortoises are:

    d = 2.4 + 0.75t

    d = 0.2t (t - 5.1)

    d = 0.2t (t - 5.1)(t - 9.1)

    where d is distance in metres and t is time in minutes. I've already graphed the three tracks, but I need to find the times that the three of them passed the finish line (10 metres)

    I've worked out the first one (10.13 minutes) but I'm stuck as to how work out the other 2. Obviously you let d = 10 and solve for t, but I do not know how to 'get t by itself' with the other two:

    10 = 0.2t (t - 5.1)

    10 = 0.2t (t - 5.1) (t - 9.1)

    Please help! Best answer to the first correct answer!

  • Brink starting error... Help?

    Well I pre-purchased Brink for PC on Steam, and now that it's released I tried to play it. When I open it from the Steam Library, it comes up with a Brink banner for a second or two, then it does nothing for a bit, THEN it comes up with this weird error titled 'The OpenGL driver doesn't support wg1ChoosePixelFormatARB' and then a whole bunch of code. All I can do is copy the text or close the window. I've been Googling for a fix for ages but I haven't found anything. A whole bunch of people with this error, and NO fixes. I just really wanna play Brink, I'm not wasting $90 on a game that I can't even play... The text that comes up in the error is below:

  • When do you get the Helmschmied Drachen armour in AC: Brotherhood?

    I pre-oredered the Codex edition, so that means I should get that armour, but when in the game do you actually have access to it? I've just assassinated the fat cross-dresser dude, The Banker, but I still haven't found it yet. I also haven't heard anything about those 2 extra missions that I'm supposed to get too... Finally, I'm not yet hooked up to xbox live, so I also don't know whether I have the 2 bonus characters for that either...

    I have no idea why I wouldn't have these, even though I pre-ordered the most expensive pack, legit, but I'm asking this just to be safe...

  • Why is there so much negative Australian stereotypes?

    Like, I'll be going through the internet, and therell be so many hits about ALL Australians being 'bogans' and stupid. Comments on how every Australian is descending from prostitutes and animal rapists.

    Like, have a look at this: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/famous-threads/3306-w...

    I think it's mainly Americans and Brits, but why does everyone think we talk like, 'CRIKEY! A BLOODY DINGO TOOK MAH BABY!'... One thing that they don't realize is, Steve Irwin was the ONLY one that talked like that... I can honestly say I've never said 'G'day mate!' or 'Crikey!' or any of that... But watching Australians on American TV, they always seem so... dumb and dirty... And we aslso apparently all liev in the bush... Australia is actually noted as it has almost every environment... We have some of the fastest developing cities... We've made some great scientific advancements.... I'm just confused with all the YouTube comments and forum posts about how Australia can suck America's American dick... :S

  • 'Microsoft tech support phone call'. Scam?

    Hey guys, I just need a little help with something that just happened. I live in Australia (if this matters) and I just got a call (well my mother answered it, but i was near) from a foreign guy claiming he was from Microsoft. He was telling us to open 'Run', type in 'prefetch unwanted viruses', and open the folder. We did, and it showed a a whole lot of files. Mostly pf and data base files. Luckily my mum was in a rush to leave for a party she is now at, so I talked to the guy (i'm more tech-y than she is) and he told me to delete everything in this folder. My mum and I got extremely skeptical, and my mum was having this long argument with him about how we know if he's legit or not, and he was saying we have some serious viruses, we dont have much time, and need to delete all of them, he said they could corrupt our hard drive. Eventually we decided to say no and hung up, and as my mum was in the other room, I ran a quick google search of 'prefetch unwanted viruses' and found all these hits of other people getting this call and saying its a scam, and even Microsoft saying that they'd never telephone someone like this. I told my mum, she was relieved, and now I'm asking you guys if you agree this would be a scam, and did we do the right thing?

    NOTE: Halfway through, he gave us a number to call, so he hung up and we did. Different guy, same accent, same story. Both guys didn't seem like the formal sounding people that Microsoft people would be. When I did the search, I saw many other cases of this call, and recordings that people have made of it.

    I haven't said anything on the microsoft website yet, not fully sure how to (I'm 15), but I'm quite convinced that these guys were trying to scam us. If I could get your opinion on this, much appreciated and thanks in advance.

  • Assassin's Creed PC freezing problems.?

    I have had Assassin's Creed Director's Cut Edition for the PC for a while, but I've only really played it recently to finish it so I could get number 2. But there's a problem that, after about 4-10 minutes of playing, the whole computer freezes up, the sound continues for a few seconds and then just loops, and the whole screen goes a red hue with most of the pixels fully red in a sort of pattern. Then it goes black and it says 'No signal input' on the screen. All I can do is switch my PC off at the tower and restart it.

    I've looked all around the internet, many forums and stuff show others have this problem, but I am STILL yet to find help.

    My system specs are:

    ==System==

    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)

    System Manufacturer: OEM

    System Model: OEM

    Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

    Memory: 4096MB RAM

    Page File: 1537 MB used, 6649 MB available

    DirectX Version: DirectX 11

    ==Display==

    Name: NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT

    Manufacturer: NVIDIA

    Chip Type: GeForce 9600

    Approx. Total Memory: 2798 MB

    Version: 8.16.11.9062

    ==Sound==

    Name: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

    If someone has a CONFIRMED working solution to this problem, please could you tell me anything I could do? Without drastically changing anything on my computer? Thanks in advance!

  • It was freakin' over 9000!!!!!!?

    Get this, my mate Nappa and I were walking around, minding our own business, when this retard Goku comes along, yelling at us and making rocks float and stuff. I was quite annoyed when my scouter told me his power level was skyrocketing. It hit 8000 and was still rising!

    Nappa then asked me what his power level was now, AND IT WAS OVER NINE THOUSAND!!! In my rage, I crushed my scouter (I swear it was this other guy's fault)!!

    But seriously, over nine-effing-thousand on his power level? I was so pissed off, the dude must of been using hax, but idk...

    If anyone could help me, was this guy really 9000 power level? I need to be better than him. Could someone tell me how i can beat this, or even become Super Saiyan?

  • Girls, is this normal?

    I'm friends with this girl, right? She's not depressed or anything (She's quite happy actually) but she keeps bagging herself??

    Like, she calls herself fat even though she thinner than me (and I'm average)

    She's also got a side-fringe thingy and keeps flicking it over her face, she says it's to 'cover up the ugliness'.

    But every time I ask her about why she says this kinda stuff about herself, she just laughs...

    DO girls generally say this stuff about themselves?? Confused :S
