I am not 100% of the answers to the following questions: Q1. This photograph is characteristic of which major biome? Arctictundra Coniferous forest Temperate forest Desert Q2. Which biome has a plant community dominated by grasses and a climate characterized by an intermediate amount of rainfall, warm summers and cold winters? Arctic tundra Temperate grassland Tropical savanna grassland Desert For (1) I think the answer is temperate forest (not a dessert or tundra obviously, and doesn't contain coniferous) and for (2) which is the one I'm having trouble with, I think the answer is temperate grassland (desserts don't have grass, the arctic tundra woul…

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner of topology and I'm doing a proof with the following details: Let T be the finite-closed topology on a set X. If T is also the discrete topology, prove that the set X is finite. I write my proof as follows: --------------------------------- Proof: Since T is the discrete topology, all singleton set {x} are in T. Hence, every subset of X is in T. Since T is finite-closed, every sets in T must have finite complement with respect to X. But since every subset of X is in T, every subsets of X must have finite complement w.r.t. X. Hence, X is finite. ---------------------------------- May anyone commment on if my proo…

I have 2 bacterial samples which I have to identify for a Microbiology project. FAECAL SAMPLE: Gram - Bacilli Non haemolytic (Horse Blood Agar) Non Lactose Fermenting (MacConkey Agar) No Growth (Mannitol Salt Agar) Catalase + Oxidase - Also these biochemical analysis results came from my Microbact strip 12E & 12A Lysine + Ornithine + H2S + Glucose + Mannitol - Xylose + ONPG - Indole - Urease - VP + Citrate + TDA + VAGINAL SAMPLE: Gram - Bacilli Non haemolytic (Horse Blood Agar) - may have recorded this wrong, could have possibly been b-haemolytic? Lactose fermenting (MacConkey Agar) No Growth (Mannitol Salt Agar) Catalase + Oxidase: when we did the test, tw…

Hi all, This is my first post & I hope I've put it in the right place. I'm a mature student retaking secondary school Maths by distance learning. I'm currently on Quadratic Equations and I've got myself in a right pickle! I'm ok with the theory but when it comes to applying it to word problems I'm struggling. Specifically the following problem which I've been banging my head against a wall to solve but just can't get: "3 consecutive numbers are written as x, x+1, x+2. The square of the largest number is 45 less than the sum of the squares of the other numbers. Find the 3 numbers?" I know the answer is 8, 9, 10 but I can't see how the solution is re…

A couple of friends and I are building an electrical miniature cable car, kind of like the one in the picture. We're mechanical engineering majors and love this kind of things but we just started out and don't really know much yet, so we're just looking for new ideas as to how to go about doing this. So how would you do it? Motor Specs: Looks something like on the picture. 9volt battery powered. The only rule is to work this exact motor. We are thinking of using gears but we're not sure how many, etc. So we would love to get your opinion! Thanks in advance! It will be finished in about a week so we'll be posting pictures here when we're done!

I was going to see if someone could check my work to see if I went about solving this problem correctly? Calculate the weight of HEPES you would use to make 100 mL of a 0.1 M buffer. HEPES has a molecular weight of 238.3. So starting with 100 mL, I did the following: 100 mL X (1 L/1000 mL) x (0.1 moles/1 L) x (238.3 g/1 mole) = 2.38 g of HEPES. Is this correct? Thanks for looking at this.

I am trying to figure out how you would select a good buffer to use to reach a pH of 8 and it will need to be a 0.1 M solution for a lab experiment I'll doing for class this week. I've been given a list of possible buffer salts to select and then will need to add either HCl or NaOH to get to my pH. The question I have, how do you best tell? For example, for one choice, I need to choose between Citrate or Phosphate. I know both are polyprotic (each have 3 pKas). Would using the Hendersen-Hasselbalch equation come in handy for this? I've read that a good buffer will be within one value of your desired pH but wanted confirmation on this. So if I were to take Citrate and …

To begin with, I'm in my first real mathematics course this semester. Most of my work has been concentrated in physics and I have no background in analysis and only some basic set theory. The question is: Let [latex] R^\infty[/latex] be the set of all infinite-tuples [latex](x_1, x_2,...)[/latex] of all real numbers that end in an infinite string of 0's. Define an inner product via [latex] \left\langle x,y \right\rangle = \sum_{i=1}{^\infty } x_i y_i[/latex] Let ||x-y|| be the induced metric on [latex] R^\infty[/latex]. Let [latex] e_i[/latex] be the vector with a 1 in the ith entry and a 0 in the other entries. These form a basis for [latex] R^\infty[/…

I'm taking an internal combustion class this semester and the professor asked the class why the thermal efficiency increases when you increase the heat capacity ratio even though the area on the P-V diagram for an Otto cycle, and thus the work created by the process, decreases. It's obvious from the thermal efficiency equation that this is true but i'm not exactly sure what my professor is trying to get at. Since the work, which is the output, decreased according the P-V diagram, while the thermal efficiency increased, I must assume that the input decreased even more rapidly. I'm not sure how these all tie together. Any help would be much appreciated. cheers, Laur…

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Write the charge balance for a solution containing H(+), OH(-), Ca^(2+). HCO3(-). CO3^(2-) , Ca(HCO3)+, Ca(OH)+, K+, and CIO4(-). 2. Relevant equations Also, I am having a trouble understanding the concepts of mass balance and charge balance. 3. The attempt at a solution The only thing I know to do is put the positive charges on one side and the negatives on the other, and then change the coefficients.

Attached is a question about a special case of eigenvector/values. I am not sure how to solve this and i cant find it in any of my text books or on the web. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. This is what i have done. let L denote lambda Av=Lv thus Av - Lv = 0 (A-L)v=0 I try to square both sides here and I do eventually end up with the desired answer. But I have no idea if what I am doing is correct or not. Im just stabbing in the dark here.

f(x)=x+1/x Find all critical numbers. Find where the function is increasing and decreasing. Find critical points and identify each as a relative maximum, relative minimum, or neither. Find second order critical numbers and tell where the graph is concave up and where it is concave down. I'm on the last question now, but i don't know how to find the zeros of the second derivative because i got 2/x^3..i need it to find critical numbers and tell where the graph is concave up and where it is concave down.

Dear all, I have a thermodynamics exam this week and am going through tutorial questions for which I have answers but no worked solutions. Can you please help in finding them? I don't know what equations to use to find the effectiveness and the fluid outlet temperature in the attached question. I think there may be a way to use 'E (effectiveness) = Q/ C min (Th1-Tc1)' , where Th1 and Tc1 are the hot fluid and cold fluid inlet temperatures respectively. There may be a method to get Q from the info given in the question, but I don't know a useful formula. I have attached the ques. and the answers are at the bottom right corner of the attachment. …
