I'm thinking of taking up the violin, but I'm not sure if I should get an acoustic or electric. I don't have a lot to spend (maybe a bit more than $100) and most acoustic violins for that price seem pretty bad. There are some electric ones marked down from $500 to $130 on amazon which have pretty good reviews ( http://goo.gl/6xWqo ). They also look very cool and being able to listen through headphones is a plus.

Would it be better to learn to play on an acoustic, or does it matter? Which would you recommend?

I was considering putting an ad on a website and they offer "pay per click" and "pay per impression". What are impressions?

Using windows DVD maker, I can't burn more than 150 minutes per DVD, even if the videos are well under the 4.7gb capacity. Why do they have a time limit if there is still room on the disc?

Just curious.

I turned in about 150 points worth of assignments last quarter. This is a huge portion of my grade, around 15%. I gave them to her but she never gave me points for them; she must have forgotten to grade them. Now that it's fourth quarter, she can't give me credit. I don't know what to do about this. She says there's nothing she can do because it's from last quarter. I shouldn't have to let my grade suffer because of her mistake.

4e^-2x = 17

Solve for x

I don't know how to put numbers in subscript here for a log, but I'll just put the subscript in brackets []

log[4e]4e^-2x = log[4e]17

-2x = log[4e]17

-2x = log17/log4e

-2x ≈ 1.1872

x ≈ -0.5936

The text book says the answer should be about -0.723

Can you tell me what I did wrong and how to get the correct answer?

I'll be taking a very long trip on a bus tomorrow and I want to use my laptop. It'll probably be a bumpy ride and I think that could mess up my hard drive, right? Or I could run Linux off a thumb drive so there won't be any use of the hard drive?

How do I do this? Can you please explain the steps too? I can use a graphing calculator, which is what the last part is about.

You have 4320 cubic inches of concrete to make a rectangular prism for a small bench. You want the width and the height to be 18 inches less than the length. What should be the dimensions of the bench? (may have to zoom fit & zoom out in the right corner)

I bought the new 2011 model Mac mini and I need a VGA adapter. This one should work, right?

I'm getting a D right now and I just don't really like the class. The teacher is great, but I don't like the subject. I don't plan on doing anything in a medical field. I passed it last semester, so I have a half credit of science this year, and I'll only need another half credit to graduate in 2013. I've never dropped a class before so I'm pretty unsure about it. I'd probably feel guilty if I did, almost like it would be insulting to the teacher. What should I do?

My school is trying a new schedule of gym class this year. It used to be every other day for the whole year, but now it's everyday for one semester and none the other semester. I ended up having it second semester. We started off with a three minute run. My shoes are definitely not for running, because they a skate shoes with flat bottoms and they're fairly worn out. So almost immediately after starting to run, I got a sharp pain in my left foot that hurt whenever a stepped with it. It still hurts now and it feels like it is in the muscle in the center of my foot. I don't see any swelling. I have to run again tomorrow, so how can I heal this by then?

If I ask a question in spy mode and I disconnect, can they keep talking or does that end the conversation?

How do I factor this?

Please explain how you got the answer

5x^4+10x^2-15

125 - t^6

It says the answer should be (5-t^2)(25+5t^2+t^4)

Can you explain how to get that answer?

There's a buy 2 get 1 free sale on used games. Say I buy 2 $20 games and get a $10 game free. I would then return the 2 $20 games but keep the free $10 game so I have $40 store credit. With that $40 store I buy 2 more $20 games and get another 1 game free. Repeat.

Could I do that?

I need to put in text citations in my essay, so how would I write it for this article?

I think it's supposed to be formatted something like: sentence(citation).

I'm writing a report and this sentence seems awkward. How should I reword this?

"Others say it could be because, as a child, they had learned apparent benefits of being sick, such as receiving attention."

I have Charter cable tv and all my tv's get a different number of channels. The living room tv with the cable box gets all the channels, the tv in my room (which is a few years old) gets about 70 and the tv in my parents room (which is at least like 15 years old) gets somewhere around 40. Why do they get a different number of channels and what can I do to get more channels on my tv?

I read what's on wikipedia but I need a simpler explanation. Could you tell me what a kernel is and what it does?

I've been trying to write sheet music for this great song, but I just can't seem to count it right. I can figure out the notes no problem. It's in 4/4 time. If you could just help figure out a couple measures of the singing part only, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be7KhbTxbBg
