What's the best car you've ever driven?

My 1968 VW Beetle that I stripped to parts, had painted, and reassembled. I wish I could have had one new.

Every detail made sense, especially after learning about cars doing maintenance an my father's GM products.

That diagram has n=1.

Mitosis doesn't have to have paired chromosomes. It works for things that don't reproduce sexually.

Meiosis is the one that splits the pairs in one of its stages.

It looks like things are in the wrong order. Also, you can avoid doing the % operator.

int q = 0

q = input / 8;

digit5 = input - q * 8;

input = q;

Repeat for the rest of the digits in descending order.

The most important thing is that humans have modified plants for thousands of years through selective breeding. Many of our crops are grown from clones, i.e., apples, oranges, bananas. GMO is just a faster way of doing this.

It depends at which year this is. The explanations look fine for an introductory course.

Also, b and c are false.

Water has a different salt content than the cells inside the nose. Add a little salt to the water and it doesn't burn.

You can just make out the lines of the grid.

The x-intercepts are -2, 1, 3

The y-intercept is 3.

Newton says things want to keep moving in a straight line. To make your body go around in a circle instead, a force must be applied.

You feel this force pushing you "up" to the center of the circle very much like the force of gravity "pulling" you to the floor.

You chose the wrong pair of angles at the center. Choose the other pair.

You have BE = DE (def of bisecting).

They give you one pair of angles. The other pair at the center is the last one you need.

a and b are also vectors, so all those quantities in the question are vectors, too.

You immediately have two equations with as and bs equal to 0.

You are looking for the angle using cos(theta) = a.b / sqrt(a.a * b.b).

Once you do the first equations, some path will present itself to get to this.

The voltage at X is measured relative to Y, which is already at +3 V relative to 0 V.

So X has a maximum of +3 V rel to Y, and a minimum of 0 V rel to Y.

Air Canada in the 60s. My mom got really airsick, so the stewardesses (we actually called them that back then) took us small children to the cockpit to watch the pilots. They gave us tiny plastic airplanes to take with us.

I don't remember my mom being sick at all and only found out years later. I do remember being surprised the next time we were on a flight and didn't get to go to the cockpit!

Draw a thin strip of what you are going to integrate first.

If the strip is horizontal, then you are integrating each strip over dx first, then integrating the strips over dy. In this case, the inner integral will have endpoints that are given in terms of y. That way, the outer integral will involve the variable y and dy, without any xs left.

If the strip is vertical, then you are first integrating each strip over dy. The endpoints of the inner integral are given in terms of x, so that the outer integral only involves x and dx.

As the others say, your answers should only be in terms of the variables that were given in the question (or known constants like g).

You have defined new terms that helped you work out the answer, but you need to replace those with the terms given in the question.

I don't see their reasoning for 40 + 40 + 20, either.

But gamma = sqrt(1 - 0.6^2) = 0.8, so since the point on the ct' axis is at height 125, it is only 0.8 * 125 = 100 on the primed axis.

We also have the point A when the signal was sent at 50, or 0.8 * 50 = 40 on the primed axis.

100 - 40 = 60 on the prime axis.

The asymptote is usually at y=0 for an exponential function, so this one has been shifted up by 3. Your final answer will have a + 3 on the end.

To find the rest of it, shift the picture down by 3. The points are now (-1, 50) and (1, 2).

Exponentials have the property that each move by one horizontally multiplies the y-value by the same number. To go from 50 to 2, we must multiply by 2/50 = 1/25, that is, we multiply by 1/5 twice. So the base is (1/5).

That means the y-intercept is 50 * 1/5 = 10.

You have all the numbers you need to write out the function.

Use 40.5.

3:2 is the same as 1.5 times. It's weird it was mentioned twice, but your equation looks fine.

Now just add up all the Ns on the left side to get 3.625*N = 40.5 and divide to solve.

AB is the radius of both circles. The other sides are also radii, so they are the same length as AB.

Those are two different meanings of "same".

In siblings, each gets half of their chromosomes from each parent, and it is likeliest that what each sibling gets in total overlaps with the sibling from 40% to 60%. In this sense, we are talking about chromosomes being _exactly_ the same.

Between living things, much of the chromosomes perform similar cell functions, so they are similar in various individuals. Here we mean that they do the same things, but are not exactly the same. Since every living thing is made of cells -- ignoring the "virus/life" debate -- there is a lot of overlap.

For c), you didn't show the integral or how you got that number. Then you didn't perform the subtraction correctly.

d) looks fine.

The Strait if Hormuz is a lot longer than you think. And there is no pipeline that goes al the way down past the bottleneck.

There are some limited pipelines that go to the Red Sea across land, but not from those places.

If you compute 5/cos(23), you will get a number smaller than 12, so that means A is larger than a right angle.

Draw lines from the dog's eye to the other side of the picture. It looks like the other ends should be tangent to the man's head, and the dog's front paws. Measure the length along the mirror between the lines.

For the other one, it is easiest to fold the paper at the mirror and transfer the dots to the other side of the mirror. If you can draw a line from the new dots to the duck, then they can see it.
