Hi!!! I need some help... The exercise is: You have to implement a data structure to represent graphs,directed or undirected,that tries to avoid the wasted space in the representation of a graph with adjacency matrix and the difficulty of searching the edges with adjacency list representation. We consider that the vertices are numbered from 1 to nverts and the exit degree of each vertex is at most MAXDEG. If deg is the exit degree of the vertex i then the neighbors of the vertex i can be saved at the matrix edge[j], 1<=j<=deg. Write a program that reads the datas from a file: if the graph is directed or undirected(1 or 0), the number of vertices (nverts),the nu…

I need to show that [latex] f: (0,1) \rightarrow R[/latex] is 1-1, where [latex] f(x) [/latex] is given by [latex] (2x-1)/(x^2-x) [/latex]. My attempt: suppose:[latex] f(x) = f(y)[/latex] Then: [latex] (2x-1)/(x^2-x) [/latex] = [latex] (2y-1)/(y^2-y) [/latex]. [latex]y(y-1)(2x-1) = (x(x-1))(2y-1)[/latex] Reducing this leads to: [latex]2xy^2 - y^2 + y = 2x^2 - x^2 + x[/latex] Of course, I need to show that [latex]x = y[/latex] but I'm not sure how to reduce this equality any further. Any ideas? Thanks

i need help in this question im not being able to understand how to solve this... :S

Hi, I was recently assigned an extra credit project of creating a 3D diagram of the layers of Earth. At first, this seemed like a simple task, where I could just cut out an eighth Styrofoam ball and label the inside. But, my teacher wants something original... something she hasn't seen before. This requires a bit more creativity than finding old things online, as because other people in past years have used most ideas I could find online. An example of a diagram that a student last year used, which got a perfect score, was a glass jar, with colored sand, each color representing a different layer of the Earth. He made sure each layer of sand was pro…

A chocolate ice cream cone is filled with melted chocolate ice cream of density 1.20g/cm^3 The cone is 10 cm long and has diameter of 6cm at the larger top end No a small hole of diameter 1 mm is produced at the narrow bottom part and the ice cream starts exiting out the bottom hole. Ignoring the viscosity of the melted ice cream, find the amount of time it takes the ice cream to run out through the bottom hole completely. Assume the velocity of the chocolate ice cream to be zero at the larger top end. Please help i dont know where to begin some one told me its just sqrt(2gh) but i dont know where that formula comes a derivation would be nice to know my book dosnt seem …

The Vertical cylinder vase of radius r is mounted on its center on a rotator. At rest, it is filled with liquid to a depth of height d. The vase is then rotated about its vertical axis with angular speed w. The y axis lies along the rotational axis and the origin of coordinates is at the base of the vase. A) Derive the equation that gives the intersection of the liquid surface with the x-y plane, when dynamic equilibrium is attained at some w in terms of d,r, and w B) Find the maximum w for which the bottom of the vase will still be completely covered with liquid assuming that the bottom is perfectly flat and that the vase is tall enough to no lose any liquid. We …

Hi, I have a physics project which I need to make my own glider but i don't know how to make. I search on the internet and I found a useful tutorial but the problem is, I cannot find a printable parts of a glider. Can someone give me a website where I can find parts of a glider so that I could just print it and bulid it? And also I need to draw a schematic diagram for it but I AM not good at drawing, can someone help me please??

Are stoichiometric calculations an effective way to predict limiting reagent and excess reagent? This is one of the questions asked from the lab report that I am doing. My problem is how to explain this, I know that it is an effective way because I got the limiting reagent in the experiment same as my calculations. But I think that's not a proper way on how to explain this. CAn someone help me please?

Goodmorning everyone! I have this problem: The mass of a given airplane at sea level (g=32.10 fps2) is 10 tons. Find its mass in lbm, slugs, and kg and its (gravitational) weight in lbf when it is travelling at a 50,000-ft elevation. The acceleration of gravity g decreases by 3.33 x 10-6 fps2 for each foot of elevation. I already know the lbm and slugs But my concern is that I can't found the answer lbf which should be 19, 850lbf My solution: F =ma = 20000lbm (32.0075ft/s^2) =640150lbm-ft/s^2 640150lbm-ft/s^2 x (1lbf/32.174lbm-ft/s^2) = 19896.5lbf But my textbook answered 19850lbf can anyone show me how the book get 19850lbf Oh I g…

One cause of reduced state of oxygen delivery to internal tissues during excessive sweating is a. increased blood viscosity b. increased blood pH c. decreased blood viscosity d. decreased blood pH The answer was A. Now I understand that during extreme sweating one would experience decreased blood volume. As such, the blood osmol would increase because you have a higher concentration of particles in a smaller volume. However, won't blood travel slower and as such there would be a chance of greater exchange of O2 for CO2 or is the concentration of O2 less in the blood as well?

I have recently conducted a biology experiment that requires me to calculate percent conjugation. The value that I obtained is very low. Why is bacterial conjugation so rare?

Hello, I've come upon a (probably very easy) problem while writing about information theory and transmission of information, but be that as it may, I'm stuck. Since it is a rather specific area of science, I'll give a brief introduction, so maybe somebody who isn't familiar with it can help me as well. This is an excerpt that I am having trouble understanding. "For simplicity, we will assume that our source emits symbols into the channel at a rate of one per second. The transmission rate R is defined to be the average number of bits of information transmitted across the channel per second (the observant reader will note that R is nothing other than mutual …

Hi, I'm new to these forums and I've turned to this site out of desperation. My college Earth, Space, & Science class has a project due that I am a part of and I am having a difficult time understanding 3 of the questions that deal with precession of the Earth's axis. I understand the basis of precession in that the axis itself rotates in addition to the rotation and orbit of the Earth but I guess I don't understand it well enough because these 3 questions have me totally stumped. Even Google searchs, which usually help, have left me clueless. Here's what I'm working with: Question 1.Refer to the image below to add the path for precession to the Earth’s axis. Inclu…

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2. Relevant equations In question. 3. The attempt at a solution To be clear it's part (vi) that's unclear to me. In order to ignore the cosine term it has to reduce to 1. This can happen, only if k(x1+x2)/2 = ωt Is this a correct assumption ? Also, it is known that k = 2∏/λ and ω=2∏/T However, I'm trying to think in what way these two components could be equal but I can't get it. Could someone give me some help, please ?
