    Any employers\employees here willing to shed some light on BCIT's reputation?

    Well, financially speaking at least, BCIT is really my best option; plus there is a very dramatic increase in competition over in SFU and UBC which I don't want to get myself involved in. With that said, I would really like to confirm that this is the right choice for me because I can't afford...

    Any employers\employees here willing to shed some light on BCIT's reputation?

    I do agree with you in regards to the program length; however the bachelors in electrical engineering is 4 years (including the shared year with a diploma in Computer engineering technology) I was thinking of applying to SFU but I hear the first three years are all book work. The difference...

    Any employers\employees here willing to shed some light on BCIT's reputation?

    I was thinking of applying to BCIT's Electrical Engineering program and I was curious what employers expect out of BCIT graduates in the Electrical Engineering Field and what they typically find with the grads (i.e work-habbits and if they are prepared or not for the work field.) You can see...

    Physics banking problems w\ friction.

    Homework Statement A 1200-kg car rounds a curve of radius 70m banked at an angle of 12 degrees. If the car is traveling at 90km/h, will friction force be required? If so, how much and in which direction? Homework Equations mv^2/r = FcThe Attempt at a Solution 90km/h = 25m/s Fc = Fnx + uFny...

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    Alright. Thanks cepheid & DaveC426913. I just started in Physics and I know my teacher is trying to trick me with this question, lol. I don't want to be tricked w\ it though.

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    Ohh, okay. So than one should interpret a negative 65 chirps per minute as 0 chirps per a minute. Or presumably 0 chirps per a minute, though I can't be sure because I haven't been given enough data?

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    Alright, so it would it be fair to say: There is not a sufficient amount of data to accurately determine the true y-intercept, as the rate of chirps per degree Celsius does not grow or decline at a consistent enough rate. So than my equation for finding chirps per minute is only accurate...

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    Where Temperature is the Independent Variable Chirps Per Minute : Degrees Celsius 7 : 11 20 : 13 36 : 15 47 :17 61 : 19 69 : 20 Using this data I created a line if best fit. The mathematical equation of the line is: y = 6.7x - 65

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    So say the cricket chrips 0 times a minute at 10 degrees, could I say: The y-intercept is undefined because the temperature must be above or equal to 10 degrees?

    How to interpret a negative y-intercept?

    I'm taking Physics 11 and we're doing a graphing exercise. The graph is Cricket Chirps per minute(as dependent variable) on the Y-Axis versus Degrees Celsius(Independent Variable) Along the x-axis. I've drawn my line of best fit. The exercise asks that I find the y-intercept of the line of...
