hey everyone, I currently have an ear infection. I'm watching to see if it gets better and it seems like yesterday was the worst of it. Today it's better: I can completely clinch my jaw with minimal pain. I think I'll be ok by Tuesday, but I'm curious about something. I'm curious what would...

Sorry I'm having some technical difficulties posting. I know about the transformations, but I wanted to ask if these are axioms or if they can be proven. f(x)= x^2+3 moves the graph 3 units up. This makes sense be caus f(x)=y, but why does putting parentheses around 'x^2+3' magically make the...

Hey guys, This isn't a homework question but i learned about it in school. I'm trying to gain a more fundamental understanding or function transformations. that's the typical parent function for example: f(x)=x^2 I would move the function 3 units up, I would write it lil this: g(x)=x^2+3

Thank you.

This isn't homework, but I wasn't sure where to post this question I'm tasked with troubleshooting a generator that's not producing enough voltage. I pretty much traced the low voltage back to the generator. I want to solve the problem with the generator myself, but when I looked at the wiring...

Hey guys, I have to bring this post back because I got some news on the subject. OK the reason I started this thread is because someone is claiming that dna is a "Language" used to convey "information" that same way that English is a language used to convey information...And those used it to...

thanks for the replies

It seems I can't change the title...can a mod please do so? Or should I make a new topic? (Sorry for double posting)

Ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll change the tititle of the topic to behavioral economics so I can hopefully get more relevant responses.

I agree with much of what you said, but I never thought myself as having special knowledge on anything. It seems like you're twisting something that's not even my main question into a straw-man. Advertisers do seek to make consumers more obligated to get what they are selling, do they not?

Hey guys, I was in an argument with someone about economics. I told him that advertisers want confuse a consumer's need with his/her want by making the wants more desirable. The person then asked me what's the difference between the three, but I was surprised that I couldn't give a clear...

Thanks for the info guys. Here's the link to the article he uses as evidence: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2591959

According the the wiki, the gene is essential to the cell (at least in mammals/vertebrates)...I was thinking that the repairing gene can only detect and repair certain types of mutations...Sorry but I have a limited capacity on the subject.

hey guys, sorry for coming here with these potentially stupid topics, but tbo, this is the closest thing I have to biologists or biology enthusiasts on the subject. My question came from creationist who does not accept evolution...He says that evolution is false because mutations are repaired...

Thanks for the response, but I did say population of mammals. This is besides the point and I thought elaborating on it would be unnecessary since we all know it. :) Yeah thanks again for the reply, but if the human species was to evolve into a new species then does "Human" get reclassified as...
