No sarcasm towards you at all...only to the guy who himself was sarcastic. I love this site for the help I am able to get from nice you folks. You guys around here are really great.

Golly, I'd sure try that if my unit was still failing me. But I reset the whole unit, and everything works fine now. Thanks for your input folks.

I did read the instructions. You'll notice that I input the value that = sin(x) such that sin^(-1)(x) should equal some value. And all my unit was outputting was sin(a big-arse fraction). So that was when I went to the internet for help. When all else fails, read the original post first.

I've already toggled between degrees and radians, and it doesn't change anything. The problem is that I've got to get thsi figured out on a calculator because I've got to take the Praxis test and can't appeal to Google during the test.

Homework Statement I'm working through a Law of Sines problem. And along the way, I have discovered that sin(C) = .9796.s I had thought from my trig days that I could find the angle whose sine is .9796 by finding the arcsin of.9796. But when I load this into my TI89, all it does is...

We just hit up our professor, and he said the question is misplaced in the book. He said we don't have enough material yet to solve this question. So forget about this question.

The only thing I can come up with is that order doesn't matter in terms of what goes into the boxes. In other words, if I am partitioning the integer 5 into 2,2,1...and I put each of those integers into one each of my three boxes...then 2,2,1 is the same as 1,2,2. I still can't figure out...

I downloaded Firefox to see what would happen. I still can't get it on my PC. The message I get with FF is: GET to / not supported. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm using a different computer. Its my wife's laptop which she generally needs. Normally if I want to use physics forums, I have to go to the library. It'd be nice to use the website from my home computer where I dont' have to wait in line, and which is faster and more up to date. But...I'll do...

As far as I can tell, I'm getting one or the other. Here is the exact text of the message when I press the "more information:" button. This error (HTTP 501 Not Implemented or HTTP 505 Version Not Supported) means that the website you are visiting doesn't currently have the ability to display...

Windows 7, and I just upgraded to I.E 9 to see of that would fix it,, but to no avail.

Homework Statement Finda generating function for the number of ways to distribute r identical objects into 3 indistinguishable boxes. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution It is the problem of "indistinguishable boxes" that has me flummoxed. I know that if the boxes were...

I keep on getting the following message: This error (HTTP 501 Not Implemented or HTTP 505 Version Not Supported) means that the website you are visiting doesn't currently have the ability to display the webpage, or support the HTTP version used to request the page. And I'm not nearly...

Homework Statement Find the coefficient of x^36 in (x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + x^7 + x^8)^6 Homework Equations 1/(1-x) = 1 + x + x^2 +... (where +... indicates an infinite series). (1 - x^(m+1)/(1-x)) = 1+x+x^2+...+x^m (I'll call this identity 'TWEAK') The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement Verify C(n,k) = C(n-1,k) + C(n-1,k-1) algebraically. Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution I've set the identity up factorially like so: (n-1)!/k!(n-1-k)! + (n-1)!/[(k-1)!(n-2-k)! I'm having a really hard time getting started here. That is the...
