Stuck On Homework? **The Homework Thread v0.01** is here!

Okay, so I'm pretty sure all they want here is for you to write a formula.

So again, we'll let x be firsts (5 points), y be seconds (3 points) and z be thirds (1 point).

Therefore, the formulas would be 5x, 3y and 1z (or just z, since you can just leave out the one).

If you've got any more problems, just ask me :)

OHhhhhh very nice!!!

Maybe talk about the Black Market for classical art?... such as, for example, one of MANY examples, the Cycladic Figurines. There are 140 legitmate figurines, meaning they were legally excavated from sites etc etc etc. The problem is... there are 1460 illegitimate figurines, one of which was sold at auction in 1990 for $200,000. The main problem with illegitmate figurines and other works of art is that they cannot be put in their historical context, and thus.. are basically useless!! If you don't know where they came from then they pretty much tell us nothing... it's not so much the fact that they aren't in museums where they should be, it's that they lose all historical value this way. Also with those figurines, the 140 that were found legally, were found in 1,400 tombs... so 10% of those tombs had one, and there are 1460 illegitimate figurines, imagine how many tombs must have been illegally excavated/looted? Anyway... black market for classical art may be a good topic, and the problem with forgeries too... forgeries and the black market kind of go hand in hand..... just throwing stuff out there :)

Family

Like a dependable shelter

My family is to me

They are a wall,

A castle

They keep me safe and warm

And help mend my problems

They are the rock of my life

The foundation of my life

They hold me together

Keep me from shattering

But like the sun does not shine forever

Like the moon is not always full

My family’s good nature can waiver

Falter under the moonlight

Miserable and angry

Obnoxious and coarse

My loving family becomes

And it always seems

That my family

Was never meant to be

And when the situation is hopeless

And the absence of a member is the only solution

Something clicks

And brings the family back together

Back into an endless cycle of highs and lows

It needs refining, any suggestions?

More derivative fun.... <_<

I think I found the first derivative but, ALOT of trouble with the second.

g(x)=4x-2.6/(4x-6.76)^2

for the first derivative i got g'(x)=(16x-27.04)(-4x+1.56)/(4x-6.76)^4

i think thats right.. but can someone help me get g"(x)?? I've been trying forever and keep getting this big mess...

You = pure awesomeness. I hadn't heard anything about the Cycladic Figurines yet, and after looking into it, it's a perfect example of how so much potential historical information can be lost forever thanks to greed/carelessness. And that lead to the whole antiquities market - both authentic and black market, there's so much intriguing info out there, now just have to sort through it all ;)

But end of story, you're great, that really helped get me focused a bit more. THanks B)
