  • Can I claim ownership of an abandoned car left on my property for over 90 days?

    My son is away in rehab and had been running with a crowd of drug addicts. One of his drug buddies left a jeep at my house and I don't know who he is. Its a nice enough vehicle and probably has a lien on it. I heard one his friends say he left it because the bank was looking for it but that was 5 months ago. If I can't claim it can I at least collect a storage fee from whatever bank has a lien? I've tried to find out who (if any) the lienholder is but so far haven't been able to. I'm in Texas.

  • What happened to yahoo's Q & A format?

    Every time Yahoo makes changes its never better. It took forever to get some of my lost mail back and now it looks like they've change the answers format. I don't really keep up with points but I did like viewing my past questions and answers. Why fix something that isn't broke? I"m sure it won't matter that anyone complains, it never has before.

  • Should I report my neighbor who can't stop her pit bull from attacking her smaller dog?

    As of today, there have been at least 4 attacks that I know of. Once the smaller dog was bitten to the bone and scared. Then the other night she told me she couldn't stop the pit bull and was on her way to the emergency clinic when her smaller dog seemed to get better. I've been over to visit and her little dog is literally shaking and sitting as close to her owner as possible. The pit bull runs around jumping all over everything, including me to the point I won't visit anymore, and all she does is yell for her to stop. She will put the dog in her bedroom only when its obvious I'm getting pissed. She say's she's getting rid of her but then changes her mind. I feel so sorry for her little dog that's scared in her own home. Oh, she also sleeps with both dogs and told me her pit bull peed on her new mattress...gross. I understand being attached to your dogs but she can't get control of hers long enough to get attached. I know it will eventually kill the other dog. I won't even consider letting my two little dogs anywhere near her.

  • Do stars stay at the same positions relative to the spiral pattern as they rotat around the galaxy?

    Can orbital motions of stars explain the long-lived spiral patterns in galaxies?

    These 2 questions go together and I think I'm overthinking it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • What is the total distance traveled for one revolution by an object with given radius?

    I'm looking for the formula to calculate four different numbers for radius in the form of d = ? I originally thought it was d = st but I realize that wouldn't work. I think it could be d = vt but I'm trying to comfirm.

    For example, I'm given a radius of 3cm at a rate of revolution every 2 seconds. The answer I'm coming up with is t=d/t but I need to know the formula for the total distance traveled by one revolution in order for my answers to be correct.

  • Do planets beyond Earth's orbit transit directly in front of the sun?

    I understand the reason we can view Mercury and Venus transits is because they are closer to the Sun than Earth. However, considering all the planets in our solar system, just because we can't see it on Earth shouldn't mean the other planets don't transit in front of the Sun as well. Right?

    So, a view from space should show all the planets transiting the sun I assume. My other question is, if the other planets do transit would the location of the other planets closer to the sun have an effect or would they need to be out of the way of the Sun?

    I'm been trying to do some research on this but there doesn't seem to be much available other than Mercury and Venus transits.

    The figure below shows a graph of a function y=f(x). Use this graph to solve the problem.?

    My attached diagram says to sketch a graph of 7=2f(x).

    I'm assuming this is a transformation question and so far I graphed (-4,4) and (4,-4) and drew the same lines. Basically my lines are moved up 2 on the left and down 2 on the right. I'm not 100% I'm right about that or if that is the only thing I'm suppose to do.

    I appreciate any help at all. Thanks

    What is the distance from the origin to the point (m,-n)?

    I know this is related to perpendicular lines but everything I've found is for (m,n) such that there isn't an option for changing the n to -n since what I've found only leads to a new equation. Either way, I can't figure it out so I would really appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    How to find the requested values of Piecewise functions?

    The answers I came up with do not fit with the middle exquation, only the first two from my calcuations. Also, am I allowed to substitute f(-8) for any other number such as 8,1, or -1?

    I missed this part of the lecture and there is very little in the textbook about how to calculate this way.

    Thanks

    What is the domain and range of the given relation?

    I can't seem to figure this out. What is throwing me off is the two closed points. So, I'm not sure if I should answer the question in set notation or interval notation. Or, if I should simply list the only pairs included in the graph which, I think would be:

    [(-3,0), (-2,0), (-1,0), (0,3)] - I'm not positive this is correct.

    It doesn't make sense to me to use set notation since the way I would write it is [-3,-1]U[0,3]

    Or should I write it

    Domain = -3 ≥ x ≥ -1

    Range = 0 ≥ x ≥ 3 (or should 0 be -1)

    I would really appreciate any help on this, I just cannot figure it out. I also have a feeling it might be related to f(x) but I'm just not sure.

  • Which stars leave the main sequence first?

    I understand that as stars use their hydrogen fuel they leave the main sequence (or at least I hope thats correct) but since stars with higher temperatures cannot remain on the main sequence turn into red giants what does that tell me about my question?

    Would it be stars that become red giants or stars that die and become white dwarfs?

    Thanks

  • How does a bivariate plot of humans relate to stars on the H-R diagram?

    I'm working on my astrophyics lab and I understand the H-R diagram and how it relates to age, temperature, and location on the plot but the first page of questions give a bivaritate plot height and weight of 3000 males ages 2-79 that looks similar but I'm really not getting the relation other than the ages. I'm assuming the younger aged humans are on the main sequence, older humans are where the super giants are and I guess dead or very old are white dwarfs.

    I answered the first two questions which ask 1) what the external variable is on the human plot and I answered age. I hope thats right but not sure.

    Can someone help me understand the relations of the to and answer the following questions:

    1. What people appear to be somewhere in an oval-shaped blob of points? What stage of life is represented by this blob?

    2. Outside of the blob, there is a noticeable arc of points extending down to the lower left. What stage of life is represented by this arc?

    3. The bivariate plot of human height and weight is a snapshot at an instant in time. Notice that the density of points is low in the middle part of the arc, below and to the left of the blob. What is going on in the life cycle of a human that makes this area of the plot sparsely populated?

    4. Whe also notice that people are found in certain regions of the diagram, but never found in other regions. What can you infer about the bodies of human beings based on the blank regions at the upper left and lower right?

  • what is the distance for the origin to the point (m,-n)?

    I understand that we use the pair (m,-n) to prove the distance formula for a perpendicular line but I'm trying to figure out how it would change if n is negative.

  • Use Kepler’s third law to calculate the period of the orbit of a planet whose semimajor axis is 0.387 AU?

    Wouldn't I need more information than what is given? I think the equation is P2 ~ a3 where p = units in years and a = astronomical units. I just don't know where to go from here.
