  • do i really need to gain weight if my bmi is "too low"?

    i weigh about 98 pounds (it fluctuates) and i'm almost 5 ft 4, and i'm 16. the thing is, i'm happy with how i look and i don't want to gain weight because i have quite a bit of leg muscle from doing martial arts so even a little fat would make my legs, especially my thighs, look chunky. my mom REALLY is trying to make me gain weight, and she's worried about my health and stuff. i wouldn't say i have an eating disorder or anything, but i think i have a problem with moderation/balance because around the holiday season i over ate WAY too much partially out of boredom, and partially because i over ate regularly after martial arts practice, and got all the way up to like 118 lbs and felt so fat and disgusting, and i just wanted get back down to around 108, which i did by around may, but with so much stress about SAT's coming up and AP's and finals, i ended up not eating as often and i guess weight loss got addicting, and i feared binging, so i got down to 93 lbs, and i started looking a little bony (which scared the crap out of my mom). also, during that time, i stopped doing martial arts, which made me eat even less often. i often over ate right after practice so by stopping, i didn't over eat. now, i'm pretty happy with my weight because i wouldn't say i look bony and i still have very little fat. however, i still have trouble eating normally (the moderation part) and i can't stop estimating calories. i also over ate a couple times after martial arts practice and i'm really scared it's becoming a regular thing.

    how many calories should i be eating anyways? i literally sit all day cause it's summer vacation but i do martial arts for an hour roughly 4 times a week. and what are some good ways to prevent over AND under eating? i personally just want to maintain my weight, but if i really need to gain weight to be healthy, how do i do that in a healthy, controlled, manner?

  • math help with combinations, permutations and probability?

    1) a code consists of 2 letters and 4 numbers. How many different codes, if repeats are allowed, can be made?

    so i did 26C2 * 10C4, is that right?

    2) a committee of 5 is being selected from 5 men and 7 women, find the probability that the committee consists of 2 men and 3 women.

    so would that be 5C2 * 7C3 / 12C5

    and last question: the probability that derek jeter gets a hit in a game is .41, if he bats 5 times in the next game find the probability that he gets at least 3 hits. round to the nearest thousandth

    so would it be (5C3(.41)^3(.59)^2)+(5C4(.41)^4(.59)^1)+(5C5(.41)^5(.59)^0)

  • how to find molarity of unknown acid solution?

    so in lab class we did titration, and somehow found the average volume of base (we used NaOH) to be 16.67mL and the acid was HCl. we used 10 mL HCl. would i use molarity acid(colume acid)=molarity base(volume base) to find molarity of acid? cause i can't find he molarity of anything.

  • (radical3)cos^2 x=cos^2 x tanx?

    0<=x<=pi

    i pitifully attempted it and i think i got down to tanx/cos^2x=radical3

    then sinx/cosx/cos^2 x= radical 3

    then sinx/cos^3x = radical 3

    but i could definitely be wrong

  • csc and sec trig equations?

    so the original problem was secxcsc^x=2secx 0<=x<2pi

    i got it down to 1/cosx(1/sin^2x-2)=0

    idk what to do from here. should i have left in sec and csc?

  • help with trig equations please?

    2sin^2x-1=0

    then i divided everything by 2 and got sin^2x-1/2=0

    square root both sides, sinx=radical 2/2

    which is 45, and the question is from 0<=x<2 pi

    so would it just be pi/4 or do i have to find 45 degree reference angles? and if not, when do i need to take into account the reference angles that would also give 45?

  • Does this sound like blood poisioning?

    I got a mosquito bite yesterday on the knuckle of my left hand and as usual, it swelled up. Today, i put on 1% hydrocortisone cream, aloe gel, baking soda paste, some anti itch gel, and some asian "clear cool oil" which is basically antinitch. And its still swollen but not as bad as my mosquito bites usually get. However, i noticed a red line that looks like the mosquito bite continues up my arm, and im scared its blood poisoning. The red line isnt itchy or anythig

  • how do i properly use bleach or ammonia to kill mold on painted drywall and in my shower?

    i kind of sprayed ammonia window cleaner on all the mold on my bathroom walls and ceiling, and in my shower, and i didn't rinse it away, and i was kind of hoping it would just evaporate away. and since i don't think it worked, i was going to wait until tomorrow and use either diluted bleach, or Clorox bleach foamer, and spray that on all the mold to see if that works. and idk if i have to rinse away the bleach off the walls and ceiling, and my shower head doesnt reach every part of my shower, and i reallllllly don't wanna have to touch or get close to the mold, so can i just leave it and not scrub anything? i really don't know anything about cleaning in case you can't tell. oh, and assuming the ammonia can in fact just evaporate away completely, and i can use bleach afterwards, should i use watered down bleach, or the clorox bleach foamer?

  • does volunteering really help you get into a "competitive" college?

    i feel like everyone volunteers, or at least tons of people do, so how can applying to college stand out? also, it's pretty common knowledge that volunteering can help you get in, so that might be a reason someone volunteers instead of actually caring/ wanting to be a "good person", but maybe admissions people don't consider that? i guess i'm just speculating a bit. just to be clear, i'm not against volunteering or community service or anything at all

  • is it okay to cite my mom as a primary source in a paper i have to write for school?

    i have to judge the accuracy of mao's last dancer by li cunxi (even though it's a memoir) which is about li, who grew up during the cultural revolution and went to a dance academy then became a famous ballet dancer, so i'm saying that it displays the time period extremely well, and i want to use my mom as a source in my paper because she grew up in china during the cultural revolution. and it's due tomorrow, so i can't really ask my teacher.

  • Should i move up from honors to ap social studies?

    So i'm in my sophmore year in high school, and im in honors world history, which is like enriched. I have a 96 average and got a 90 on the midterm. Im a really good test taker, and an average to good essay writer, like, i usually get a 4/5 or if its an off day a 3/5. I'm really not sure if it would be beneficial to me, especially when applying to colleges, if i moved up to a.p. us history next year, or if all the work (like 30 page outlines) would be worth it. Also, as a side question, would it be really difficult to take chemistry and physics in the same year next year? And chemestry honors, physics regents. Because i want to take ap bio senior year because i loved biology last year, or is it stupid to take bio twice, like at a regents level freshman year (which is required at my school) then take it again at an ap level senior year. Because regular bio is a prerequisite to ap bio. Ooor, i could take either ap chem or ap physics senior year after taking the regents ir honors level chem and physics (again, the regular is a prerequisite to the ap)... Also to take 2 sciences one year would mean droping french (or art... Which i will never do cause i love art) so would it look better to colleges if i took a science in replacement of french? Sorry about how long this is, and if you read all of it i reallllly appreciate it, and your answers
