Hi

I was too careless and created my thread in the wrong section. I suggest it is moved to "Homework & Coursework Questions", under "Calculus & Beyond Homework". Sorry for the inconvenience...

I can move it, but don't be surprised if you get an infraction for not using the template :devil:

You can use Report button in such cases.
