    Show that if x(t) is even, then so is X(s).

    Homework Statement If a signal x(t) is an even function, how do I show that its Laplace transform X(s) must be even as well? Homework Equations X(s) = Integral(-inf,inf) of x(t)*e^-st dt The Attempt at a Solution I can show this for specific functions x(t), but how would I show this in...

    Cloning w/ Plasmid DNA: AmpR Gene Overlap Issue

    Homework Statement I have a problem that involves a plasmid DNA. The problem gives a plasmid diagram with the restriction sites and specifically tells me which restriction site the gene of interest would go. However, the restriction site is shown to be overlapping with the AmpR gene. Wouldn't...

    Does Back-Donation Decrease Down the Column for Cr(CO)6, Fe(CO)5, and Ni(CO)4?

    Cr(CO)6 Fe(CO)5 Ni(CO)4 Is there more back-donation (from the CO) going up OR down the above column? I always get this mixed up.

    Electron count in transition metal complex

    How do I find the total electron count in a transition metal complex? For example, something simple like W(CO)6 or even more complicated like RuH(Cl)(PPh3)3? (Note: I don't mean "d electron count" [which I know how to find], I mean "total electron count.")

    Max/Min of x2−2xy+7y2 on Ellipse x2+4y2=1 w/ Lagrange Multiplier

    @ideasrule: Sorry, ignore the "z." @HallsofIvy: Thanks. And yes, that's how I learned it. Also, once I find the critical points, do I just plug them back into the original function I want to extremize to see if it's a max or min?
