    If you relocate your question to a more appropriate subcategory, someone who can and is willing to assist you, may come upon your question. Move your question to Education & Reference>Homework Help or Science & Mathematics>Mathematics as it's currently in Yahoo Products>Yahoo Answers and not applicable to this subcategory. You can move your question by clicking Edit>Edit category just beneath your question, then selecting the category in which it is better suited.
