looking for the number of terms in specific question... start with 2million and need to end with 3 billion. each time i win, i double my co?
a = 2million
amount to get to = 3 billion
i double up after every bet so 2x
a = a1r^n-1
3bill = 2mill(2)^n-1
3bill/2mill = 2r^n-1
log(3bill/2mill)/log(2) = n-1
blah blah...
now i get n = 11.55
but... if i were to start with 2mill, and do double up 11.55 times i dont end up with 3billion

5 AnswersPhilosophy3 years agoCan anyone offer some advise for building a really low budget PC which will allow me to Twitch stream and run a game of no larger (UK)?
I want to stream via twitch.
The game i play can readily run on like...40 fps but can even run a little bit laggy on 18 fps.
I just want a PC that would competently run a really low graphics game and allow me to stream myself at the same time.
I have around lets say.... a maximum of 300 GBP or, if you are USA answering - lets say $500...maybe a little less.

1 AnswerAdd-ons3 years agoPhysics: I cannot find how to draw these Square pulse graphs so can anyone guide me through this specific question?
Question 2b. ii) On the graph
The answer to save you time from part b.i) is 80mV or 0.08V
I plotted the graph intuitively and the MS said it was wrong.
It states:
equal positive and negative regions B1
equal positive and negative values of ‘maxima’ labelled on y-axis B1
value changes within correct time zones, t = 0.2 to 0.4, 0.6 to 0.8 s B1
‘square pulse’ shape B1
sinusoidal graphs score zero marks
B1 just means award 1 mark there basically.
I have looked in several texts, online websites and youtube videos - can't find anything!
2 AnswersPhysics3 years agoCan anyone show and explain how to use simultaneous equations for finding the percentage abundance or vice versa for isotopes? I forgot!?
I remember if I had something like, the actual percentage for 2 isotopes then I need to find the masses of them - cannot remember how to do it!
Then the flipside is finding the percentage when given the isotope masses?
Can anyone show me how you would generally use the simultaneous equation for these problems as they are quite common in exams.
2 AnswersChemistry3 years agoI don't understand why Vanadium (IV) Chloride will not react with Hexane but WILL react with Ethanol (And I know Ethanol has a lone pair)?
I just cannot see what is happening. Wouldn't a hydrogen react with a Cl ?
What is happening with the lone pair on the oxygen in the Ethanol? Is it forming Vanadium (V)?
1 AnswerChemistry3 years agoP4O6 + Water....Why does the reaction end up with H3PO3 and not H3PO4?
2 AnswersChemistry3 years agoExplain this quote by the Alexandrian... Some of the vocabulary used is something I have not seen before?
“I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia”
3 AnswersQuotations3 years agoHypothetical question on speed: If you are travelling at c (speed of light) and you turn on a flash light, is the speed of the light from...?
Is the flashlight's 'light' going at 2x (c) or not? that is, are you combining the vector quantities for initial speed + speed of light of the torches light?
4 AnswersPhysics3 years agoConfused about the equations for Gravitational Potential (vg = -GM/r) and Gravitational Potential Energy (E = mVg) regarding when to use..?
V = -GM/r is the Gravitational potential
and
E = mdeltaV being the Gravitational Potential Energy
But when do you use the right equation? That might not be easy to answer because its so broad, but in general, what kind/type of question would you use the respective equation in?
5 AnswersPhysics3 years agoCollege application question "Please provide us with any further information that you think may assist us in determining your fee status"?
Do people actually write stuff here? This looks like a "i am desperate please help me" box? What am I meant to write here? Or better yet, what are they expecting as an answer here?
3 AnswersFinancial Aid3 years agoHow would you go about determining the pH of a solution of a household Bleach and adding a volume of vinegar for example - mathematics inclu?
Lets just set out an example scene:
1L of Bleach used for cleaning toilet bowl (lets use UK product here)
Some table vinegar, malt, used for your chips.
Let us try and figure out the pH or the original bleach, then the acid, then the solution made.
I was just reading some stuff on the internet and would like to see if anyone could just conjure up a nice little method?
You can use any concentrations of the solutions, just make them up but they of course need to be coherent.
2 AnswersChemistry3 years agoThe solutions of the equation cos2θ = sinθ for 0<θ<2π?
6 AnswersMathematics3 years agoThe solutions of the equation tan2θ=3tanθ for 0<θ<π are?
ok... so I have the answers 0, 30 and 210.
However, they wanted it in radians or pi so:
1/6 pi and 0 which is required.
However, is it asking me to divide the original findings by 2? i.e - 30/2 and 210/2 etc?
I ask because I am getting "Wrong answer" with these solutions and I cannot understand why.
