    9e^(9x)-e^(-x)=0 Becomes 9e^(9x)=e^(-x) ln(9e^(9x))=ln(e^(-x) 9*9x=-x 81x=-x 81x+x=0 x(81+1)=0 x=0 ??? I must be doing something wrong still.

    Calculus Help

    That was my first thought, but then you are taking the natural log of 0, which is not possible. :( I tried that, but only gives a decimal value, just like WolframAlpha... which I believe is useless in this situation. Come on Calc Professors, where you at?! lol

    Simple Java question

    My professor gave me this problem due tomorrow. I am having a hard time trying to figure it out. I know he wants us to figure out if it is a binary number and then switch it to a decimal value. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My code below, I am on step 2b) //Part 2...

    Weird keyboard for programming

    Hm, I tried multiple links and nothing is working. On the dv6 model they integrated the up and down arrows basically on one key. As a beginner programmer, I do not know if I will be using those keys that much.

    Weird keyboard for programming

    Laptop being considered I've been looking at the HP dv6 for a while, but one thing I am worried about is the keyboard. The arrow keys are very strange, and the keyboard is set up different. My question is would you still get it? I get 10% off at Walmart and I have a $50 gift card so I'm...
