  • Please Help! How to find a Microsoft Word 2007 file after forced shutdown?

    Here is my problem. I'm using Word 2007 on Windows 7. I was working on a paper, saved it, made some changes, then I forced shutdown. When I restarted my computer, I opened the doc file, and there was a message saying something along the lines do I want to revert to what I was doing. I clicked no (because I thought I had saved the paper prior to the shutdown), however I realized that the saved version wasn't the most up to date version of the document. I then went to the recycling bin to restore whatever I had deleted. The problem now is despite restoring the backup message from Word, I still can't find the version of my Word document I had prior to forced shutdown.

    I already tried clicking on the file from the folder and choosing restore previous version, however that only had an even earlier version. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of this function:?

    Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of the function: y = ( cos (6x) ) ^ x

    I tried using Wolfram Alpha which resulted in y' = [( cos (6x) )^ x ] [ log (cos 6x) - 6x tan (6x)] but it was marked wrong.

    Could someone please help?

  • Transformations of Functions- Did I do this right?

    Here is a pic of the question of a transformation of a function http://i54.tinypic.com/28004t1.jpg

    So first, the graph moved to the left by 3 units - therefore I added 3 so the function becomes y = sq root. (x - x^2) + 3.

    Next, it was flipped about the x - axis, so the function now becomes - sq. root (x - x^2).

    Finally it was stretched vertically by a factor of 2 since the highest point went from what should have been -0.5 to -1. Therefore I multiply the function by 2, and the final function should be:

    -2*sqroot (x - x^2) + 3 correct?

  • Where did I go wrong with this question?

    Find the derivative of the function: y = cos [ ( 1 - e^4x) / (1 + e^4x)]

    So I recognized this as the cos u, where u is : ( 1 - e^4x) / (1 + e^4x)

    First I took the derivative of cos u, which is - sin u. then I looked for the derivative of u, which I did the following:

    [(1 + e^4x)*(1 - 4e^x) - (1 - e^4x)*(1 + 4e^4x) ] / ( 1 + e^4x)^2

    I expanded, then put the like terms for the numerator which ended up being - 6e^4x, denominator remained (1 + e^4x)^2.

    So the final answer should have been:

    numerator 6e^4x * sin [( 1 - 4e^4x) / (1+e^4x)]

    denominator ( 1 + e^4x) ^2

    however, I was marked wrong on the online assignment! I don't see where the mistake is. anyone could help?

  • Find the domain of the following two equations please.?

    part 1:

    f (x) = 5 / ( 2 + e^x)

    a. ( 0 , infinity)

    b. x cannot be 2

    c. ( - infinity, infinity)

    d. x cannot be 0

    part 2.

    f(x) = 1 / (1 - e^x)

    a. x cannot be 0.

    b. x cannot be 1.

    c. ( - infinity, infinity)

    d. ( 0 , infinity)

    My opinion:

    for part 1, 2 + e^x cannot equal to 0, so e^x cannot equal to -2. If I recall correctly, e is never negative, therefore the correct answer should be ( - infinity, infinity).

    for part 2, I'm confident that the answer should be x cannot be 0 because it would result in 1 - e^0, which would be 1 -1 and have a 0 for the denominator.

    Could someone please let me know if I'm right? Especially on the first one, which I am not too confident in my answer.

    Thanks.

  • Please Help With This Calculus Question...?

    An object with weight W is dragged along a horizontal plane by a force acting along a rope attached to the object. If the rope makes an angle θ with the plane, then the magnitude of the force is given by the following equation, where μ is a constant called the coefficient of friction.

    F = μW / [ μ sin (θ) + cos (θ)]

    part a: Find the rate of change of F with respect to θ.

    part b. When is this rate of change equal to 0?

    part c. If W = 30 lbs and μ = 0.6, draw the graph of F as a function of θ and use it to locate the value of θ for which dF / dθ = 0. (Round the answer to two decimal places.)

    I think for b, it's just 5 because the two f's cancel right? I can't seem to find the solution for part a.

  • How Do You Do This Chemistry Question?

    Part 1. Dimethymercury, (C2H6)Hg, is a highly toxic volatile liquid with a vapour pressure of 58.8 torr at 23.7 celsius. A 0.200 g sample of liquid dimethymercury is placed in a sealed vessel intially containing pure N2 gas (Nitrogen gas) at 0.965 atm at 23.7 celsius, and allowed to vaporise completely at this temperature. After vaporization, the pressure in the vessel was measured to be 1.011 atm. How many grams of nitrogen gas are present in the vessel?

    I think there is a mistake in the given answer of 0.510g, but I still cannot figure out how to do this. What I did was figure out the moles of C2H6Hg by doing: 0.200g x Molar Mass = 8.70 x 10 ^ -4. From that, I did the mole fraction, 1 - Moles of C2H6Hg and got 0.999 moles of N2. I then multiplied moles of N2 to the molar mass, 0.999 x 28 = 27.97 g = 28.0 g in three significant figures.

    Is that correct?

    Also, part 2 of that question is:

    In the above experiment the dimethylmercury vaporized completely leaving no liquid phase behind. This is because the vessel is large enough to accommodate the entire 0.200 g sample as vapour. If the vessel was somewhat smaller, only part of the sample would vaporize. What is the minimum volume of the vessel in which the entire 0.200 g sample will vaporize leaving no liquid phase?

    Second part isn't that important to me because I don't understand the first, if you do not want to waste time answer the second one that's okay. But please, if you know how to do the first help me out. Thanks a lot.
