How many essays do you have to submit to each college usually? When are the colleges essays usually up? Is the only essay you can start on now the personal statement?
2 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoMy AP Spanish exam is on Tuesday and I'm not ready! HELP!?!?!?
I didn't buy a practice book or anything, and I'm not superb at spanish. I don't speak it at home, and I'm not Latino. Is it worth it to buy a practice book if I have a day left to study? I was just planning on listening to music and talking to my friend in spanish. I think all my colleges only accept a 4/5 but I got a 3 on the practice test (that used the old format).
Ahhh I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! HELP!!!

1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoNeed help proving Newton's second law?
So we did a lab that looks like this, but differs slightly:
http://dev.physicslab.org/Document.aspx?doctype=2&...
I found my experimental values on excel and the slope of the graph of force applied v. acceleration--this slope is the observed value. How do you find the accepted value for the acceleration? You don't need numbers to answer this, I just need a process to figure this out. This is a physics lab entitled Newton's 2nd law using constant mass. I used UAM to find my acceleration applied experimentally, so how do I find the (other) acceleration applied (the accepted value)?
2 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoHow do you do these math problems?
I have the answers--I need to know how to do them.
1) x² + 4x + 4 >= 9
I can get the positive side right for this (x >= 1), but I don't know how to do the negative part of the equation. Can you please explain this to me.
2) 3(x-1)(x+1) > 0
I have the same problem with this. I can only get x >1, but not the other part of the answer (x < -1)
