vcu, go back and re-format your post so it's readable (squeeze the answer lines together, and separate the problems from each other), then give us your answers and your thinking at arriving at those answers, and we'll help you from there. That's what Homework Help is about. We don't give answers; we help you think to arrive at the answers yourself.

These are the kinds of people I usually give the wrong answer to. I'll refrain, and merely echo the calls of my forum brethren above - do your own homework. We are not "phone-a-friend".We are more than happy to help you understand the material more deeply, or to help you find flaws in reasoning that you have already done, but we're not here to do the work for you.
