I've noticed that some teams choose to do some "bad leg" stunts despite them not looking as nice as their other stunts. Are these worth more points? I can't think of any other reason other than they might be a bit more difficult. By bad leg, I mean on their left leg instead of the right.

Also, I'm posting this under sports, even though competitive cheer has not yet been classified as a sport, and since I am aware of this, I don't need any snarky remarks about cheer not being a sport. Thanks.

Every time I take a shower, I get extremely hot afterward. This happens regardless of whether I took a hot or a cold shower. I have to put my hair up so its not on my neck and I can't wear anything but a tank top, with shorts or pants, or I feel like I am going to pass out. It takes me around 30 minutes to cool down enough to even put socks on. This happens in the winter (when it is 10 degrees fahrenheit outside) as well as the summer (around 80 degrees fahrenheit).

Before you even consider it, I have gotten my thyroid checked as well as extensive blood work and all levels are apparently normal. I am currently on cymbalta but it was the same when I was on fluoxetine. I am also on welbutrin.

I have always overheated (and gotten sick) easily in hot weather, regardless of how much I drink. I usually feel warmer than most people (I think it is hot when most others think it is cold). I sweat fairly easily. I am tall and slender, so it can't be from being overweight. I am not really sure of what other information I could give that is relevant to the question.

So does anyone know why this may happen?

I need to show if the series converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.

n=1 to infinity Σ (-1)ⁿ (n+2ⁿ) / (n+3ⁿ)

How do I go about doing this? I know 2ⁿ increases more slowly than 3ⁿ, but I'm not sure how to prove this using the alternating series test.

from n=1 to ∞ Σ[((2^n)/(n^2*3^n))*x^n]

or if it's easier to see:

from n=1 to ∞ Σ[(2ⁿ/(n²3ⁿ))xⁿ]

Using the ratio test, I got that the interval is (-1/2,1/2)

Where I get stuck is trying to check the endpoints. Solving for x=-1/2:

from n=1 to ∞ Σ[(2ⁿ/(n²3ⁿ))(-1/2)ⁿ]

and for x=1/2:

from n=1 to ∞ Σ[(2ⁿ/(n²3ⁿ))(1/2)ⁿ]

Is my work correct so far? And how do I go about solving for the convergence or divergence of those endpoints?

from n=1 to ∞: Σ(2n-1)!/(2n)!

Using the ratio test, the limit = 1 so the ratio test is inconclusive. What other test can I use to find out if the series converges or diverges?

The equation is:

|cos n|/(n^2+n+1)

We have only learned the integral test, the comparison test, and the limit comparison test. I know |cos n| will stay between 0 and 1, so should I just use the comparison test with 1/n^2?

The only tests we have learned are the integral test, comparison test, and limit comparison test, but I'm not sure how to go about finding whether it converges or diverges.

Again, the equation is:

1/(n^n)

My book states the following:

Assume that f^(n+1)(x) exists and is continuous. Let K be a number such that abs(f^(n+1)(u)) is less than or equal to K for all u between a and x. Then

abs(Tn(x)-f(x)) is less than or equal to K*abs(x-a)^(n+1)/(n+1)!

I don't really understand how to find K.

The problem I am working on is:

Let Tn(x) be the nth Maclaurin polynomial for f(x) = e^x.

Determine a value of n so that |Tn(2) − e^2| < 10^(−4)

Being that f^(n)(0)=1 for all n, would I use K=1? Then, should I just plug in numbers for n until I get an error less than 10^(-4)?

As part of a verbal assignment, I need to say my email address. I know that @ is arroba and dot is punto, but being that it's a school email, how would I say for instance @my.unf.edu?

The equation is:

lim x=> inf [(cosh(x)+sqr(x))/(e^x-(ln x))]

This gives me inf/inf, so applying L'Hopital's gives me:

lim x=>inf [(sinh(x)+(1/2)x^(-1/2))/(e^x-(1/x))]

This also gives inf/inf. Applying L'Hopital's Rule again would give me an equation with cosh(x)/e^x, which will be inf/inf and it seems to be a never ending cycle. What am I doing wrong?

What are the differences between effects, styles, actions, and filters in photoshop? I used to run photoshop elements 5, then after a few years of not touching photoshop, I got photoshop cs3, but I don't remember how to do a lot of the stuff.

I was with this guy for several months and things were going well. He's been outwardly homosexual for a few years now, but most people who have been friends with him think that he is afraid to be anything but gay because he doesn't get along with his parents who are extremely catholic and he likes to do things to get them riled up. It was him that really got the relationship to be a relationship. Because he was gay, I knew what I couldn't fall for him so I put up a wall. He confessed to me that he was confused and he was falling in love with me.

In the beginning of our relationship (at the end of my senior year in high school), the first thing he told me was about how he apparently had sex with some girl and that he had a daughter. It was a very in depth story so who would think anything of it. About a month later he confessed that he had made up the whole thing. Trust was a bit rocky after that with him, but I forgave him because I loved him and I tried to always believe him after he promised he wouldn't lie again.

We were great up until a month ago. At the beginning of January, it was like a switch flipped and he did a full 180. He had a lot going on so I figured he was just stressed or something. A few weeks later, he confessed to me that supposedly our whole relationship was a lie and that he had led me on just to see if I could fall in love with him. Whether or not that is the truth, it doesn't matter, because either way he made up a huge lie - whether it be that our relationship was real and he ran, or if it was a one-sided relationship.

He did admit to me about a week after that he is a compulsive liar. I'm not one to just leave my friends for things because I know how hard it can be when you're alone, and I still loved him and wanted to be there for him even after how badly he hurt me. After that, he just started acting like a cocky jerk towards me and saying that I did this to myself and his stories kept changing. That's why I don't trust that he's telling me the truth that he wants to stop that habit. I've resorted to not responding to him at all anymore. I know I need to let him go, it's not like I want the relationship back because trust is such a huge thing in relationships, but I'm still having a lot of trouble getting over this.

Has anyone else gone through finding out the love of your current life is a compulsive liar? Or does anyone have any advice?

I work at a humane society, and when I got to work yesterday, things were disastrous. I am a part time employee that has been working there for almost 2 years. In order to make up for what my incompetent co-workers that had worked the previous days, it took me 6 hours longer than my shift should have taken. Several issues that had to be taken care of during this time were health and fire hazards. My employer said she is only going to pay me for the shift I was scheduled to work. It is a well known fact that my employer strongly dislikes me and has written me up for several things that I either did not do, or that is hearsay and cannot be proven. She has directly expressed her dislike of me to my co-workers. Is it legal in the state of Minnesota for her to refuse to pay me for the extra time it took me to finish my job? Please include sources/articles so I can back this up.

I'm not at all a morning person. This semester, the only Calc II class available was at 7AM Monday-Friday. I figured it wouldn't be too bad for a semester. Could I have been wrong?

I suffer from severe major depression and seasonal affective disorder. I have a SAD light that is set on a timer to come on at 5:45AM until 6:45AM, but this doesn't do too much for my alertness.

I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and I nap during the day, but I'm still always tired and have the most difficult time getting myself out of bed in the morning.

I cannot grasp any concept that is being taught during class. If I go to get help later on in the day, it seems so clear and makes sense completely. Obviously I can't go to get help every day though. Due to this, my grade is suffering. I can't even get close to finishing tests in the 50 minutes that I have class. I'm somehow pulling a C.

Anyway, what I really want to know... Is this because my brain is not awake enough to function? Is there any way to get myself going so early in the morning so that I can pass this class?

My friend has alltel and his phone broke recently and his old phone doesn't work well at all. New phones are so expensive, and phones on ebay are either expensive or ancient. Is it worth spending the money on a decent phone now when alltel will be verizon soon? And what models would you recommend?

I've been getting to know one of my guy friends for quite some time now. I've ended up falling in love with him, like a love I've never felt before. Problem is, he's homosexual. But he openly admitted that he has fallen for me, and that this is the first time he's ever fallen for a girl. He didn't just say this as a response to my falling in love with him, because he told me before he even had a clue that I loved him like that. I know he is really confused where these feelings are coming from. We both have expressed that it would be so wonderful if we could spend the rest of our lives together. But apparently he's too afraid to kiss me, and I really don't understand his reasoning there because he wants to have sex and all that, just not kissing. If you need more info on that part, I had posted another question earlier here:

Am I really just setting myself up for a major crash down face first? Or what else is this?

I've been with this guy for several months now. I just turned 19 and he's about half a year younger than me. The problem is, he's never kissed anyone and is too afraid to kiss me. He wants to have sex but I told him that I think kissing should come before that because I don't want to feel like a cheap whore. I'm OCD about my breath and brush my teeth thoroughly at least 4 times a day, and sometimes more than 7 times. I take good care of myself and don't share food/drinks with anyone but him. He said that he's just afraid of getting sick, but I think he's afraid that he'll be bad. I've reassured him hundreds of times that I wouldn't care if he was bad and I would teach him and that if he never tries than he'll never know and never be able to get any better. How do I get him to be comfortable enough for this? Or has anyone dealt with this kind of situation? Don't get me wrong, I want sex too!

I'm currently in my first year of college, and I'm living at home for the time being. However, I'm only at a Tech school so I really can only get my generals done. Next year I will need to transfer schools. I few years ago I rescued a previously abused dog from the humane society I work at. She is such a huge part of my life, and she can always make me feel better. I know my parents will take excellent care of her while I'm away, and she already knows them well so I'm not worried about that. I'm just used to her always being there and I'm really torn about leaving her home. I will only be about an hour and a half away, and can come home on weekends, but as it is, it's hard for me to be away from her for just one night. In the past, when I was gone for just a week or less, she would mope around for a while. Any advice as to how to make this easier on myself? Dogs are my life, and that's what I'll be going into.

My really good friend is gay, and his parents are very religious so they're in major denial of that. He's 18, and he's a senior in high school They are so controlling over his life though. They set unreasonable curfews, they block almost everything on the internet (he even has trouble just getting into msn), he can't go anywhere after school except home right away, and other ridiculous things like that. Next year he has to move about an hour away for college, but his parents are requiring him to come home right after school on fridays and he can't go back until monday morning right before school. They won't let him live with any girls (even though he's gay) and he ABSOLUTELY cannot live with any gay guys. He apparently is not allowed to completely move out until he either gets married or gets arrested. If he leaves, they're cutting him off financially, and still being in high school, he can't support himself. I know of people having very controlling parents, but does it make it different if I haven't seen any of his siblings being treated anywhere near as badly as he is? His parents are just downright mean to him. He's a recovering anorexic, and he's finally gained a healthy amount of weight, to which his mother said "I know we wanted you to gain weight, but now you're gaining too much weight." He's about 6 feet tall and still growing and only weighs around 175 lbs. I just don't know what I can do being a spectator to this hell he seems to be living at home. Not to mention he gets pretty down about what they say to him. He has such limited freedom, I'm afraid he'll get out in the real world and not know how to function. Is there anything I can do to at least make him feel better? I know I can't change his parents, but I wish I could help in some way.

Everything felt so different than any other relationship I'd ever had. It was so much stronger. We had talked about our future. Where we were going to live, whether or not we'd have kids, etc. It seemed so perfect. He was more than just my best friend, he was everything I ever needed/wanted. He was the one thing that could make me feel better no matter what. And I always felt safe with him. How can something so great be torn to pieces so quickly? Please don't leave any rude comments. That's really not what I need right now. I just need advice on dealing with this because I haven't been able to stop crying and my heart is continuously breaking over and over again and it just hurts so much. I've never hurt so much in my entire life.
