gauper_kid Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I need some help with my homework. Does anyone know what the first known record of a witch was? I've looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it. Also, I need to know what the proper name for the place where witches were put to death. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :mrgreen: "Witches" were around long before written record. The first recorded one? Idk. But! The death penalty for witchcraft was first issued by Emperor Charlemagne of Frankia in the 8th century. Proper name? Europe or the Americas. Or if you want to get technical and go with the stereotypical "burning" of witches, that would be stake. eg. Burned at the stake. Generally they just hanged them, though. Don't cite me as your source.

walka92 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 does anyone know how to (*if its possible*) to add password protections to folders in vista, without having to download any extra programs? im sick of my siblings looking through my files :@ thank god they havent got the code for my current "folder maze", but its overcomplicated to do, even for me... I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter360x Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I don't believe Vista has a feature that allows you to lock a folder so you can only open it with a password.

Wongtong Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've been studying for my maths exam (which is in .. 2 hours.. eek.) and I came across a question which I didn't know how to answer. Could anyone please explain it to me? Generally when I'm trying to make a quadratic equation I use this 'model quadratic equation': ax² + bx + c But it didn't work for me this time :/ Edit: I ended up forming the correct equation (x² + 3x + 1) and I ended up with the correct answer, 20. :D 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

i_love_burritos Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 wongtong what the hell did you do ? The [general] correct equation for the number of tiles in any one set is n² + (n-1) Where n is the number of tiles arranged vertically. So, with 461 such tiles. Solve for n. So, the answer would be 21 [for n] EDIT: Explained 21² + (21-1) = 441 + 20 = 461 But you already knew that. :P To solve n² + (n-1) I usually just draw a graph. Too long to solve it algebraically.

dave0293 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You have three points: (1,5) (2,11) (3,19) 5= a+b+c 11=4a+2b+c 19=9a+3b+c You can use elimination to solve for a,b, and c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wongtong, your solution was right. Adrenal, n² + (n-1) gives 1 tile for pattern 1, and 5 tiles for pattern 2. You're actually off by 1 pattern, so the answer is 20. dave's approach is correct and will lead you to the right soution, though it's a bit too complicated for what you need.

Wongtong Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Here is my explanation of quadratic patterns. [hide=]The model equation: ax² + bx + c The model equation translated to the problem we're working with: T = an² + bn + c You can determine that a pattern is a quadratic pattern because the 'DIFFERENCE OF DIFFERENCE' is the same. (2) Now to get a (for the model equation), it is half of the difference of difference. So half of 2 is ... 1! So a = 1. T = 1n² + bn + c Let's substitute a number for n. (n is the pattern number) Let's say n = 1. (1 x 1²) + (b x 1) + c = 5 (I got the 5 from the table) 1 + b + c = 5 b + c = 5 - 1 b + c = 4 Substitute another number for n. Let's say n = 3. (1 x 3²) + (b x 3) + c = 19 9 + 3b + c = 19 3b + c = 19 - 9 3b + c = 10 Now take the underlined equations and make a simulatneous equation. 3b + c = 10 b + c = 4 2b = 6 b = 3 Substitute b back into an equation such as b + c = 4 c = 4 - 3 c = 1 The model equation is now T = n² + 3n + 1 Substitute T = 461 461 = n² + 3n + 1 460 = n² + 3n n² + 3n - 460 = 0 I type this into my graphics calculator to get (n-20)(n+23) = 0 n is therefore 20 and -23. It can't be negative so it's 20.[/hide] Adrenal, I can't graph things because it's algebra, not graphs. It asks for an algebraic equation :P 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

i_love_burritos Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 All you people SUCK ! :P Adrenal, n² + (n-1) gives 1 tile for pattern 1, and 5 tiles for pattern 2 Lolwut ? Not the sequence of the pattern but the number of tiles. So... Pattern 1 has two vertical tiles. 2² + (2-1) = 5 What's wrong ? I think I read the actual question wrong. :wall: In that case, for the pattern number - the equation is - n² + 3n + 1 wongtong, your method is, long, drawn-out and unnecessarily complicated.

fastortoise Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 What is wrong with you people? The answer is clear if you just look at the pictures of the tiles. The two consistent elements are the squares and the individual tiles to the right. The squares' sides are one tile larger than the pattern number (n+1) so the number of tiles in that square is (n+1)^2 since it's a freaking square. Then, to the right of each square, they added the same number of tiles as the pattern number, or +n. So we get (n+1)^2 +n = #tiles n^2 +3n +1 =#tiles After you plug in the 461 just use that crazy formula that solves quadratic equations in the form ax^2 +bx +c that they teach you in highschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wongtong Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It wasn't for homework, I was studying. And it's not long and drawn out, it only looks long because I take ages to explain it.
