8/29/2006 9:43:59 PM

ure not required to go but you will fail if you dont because most of the homeworks are impossible

8/29/2006 10:25:28 PM

thanks for the help

guys im new to maple...im trying to do the webassign for tommorrow and i need to use maple...is it only accessible on campus?

9/7/2006 4:23:48 PM

unless u can get a copy from an engineering student

9/7/2006 7:17:55 PM

no need for maple on this one. simple excel calcs or anything on a ti83 can get ya by.

also, you can get maple through remote access. check out eos.ncsu.edu and look up remote accessing. you need puTTY and x-Win. (free download at eos.) talk to the help desk to get some help remote accessing and all. (too complicated to talk through on tww)

9/7/2006 9:17:52 PM

yeah maple isn't needed for this hw. i skipped class this week (and couldn't understand a g-d word he said last week) and figured this one out.

9/7/2006 9:50:37 PM

can someone tell me how to find the derivative of p(X) in part B? thats the only part i have left...im trying to use the quadtratic equation

9/8/2006 10:24:03 AM

anyone working on the webassign due today? i'm having trouble figuring out what to do/what they're asking for.

9/22/2006 2:00:18 PM

never mind, it was pretty easy.

you can't be serious...i only went to one class (the first day) and got an A+...the website explains how to do every one of the web assigns

9/22/2006 3:46:31 PM

^ me too

9/22/2006 11:12:31 PM

yeah...is attendance mandatory?...i think you can sign the attendance from home

9/26/2006 11:44:19 AM

does anyone know what he mentioned in class about what "control u, alt enter" is on a windows computer? i can figure it out on the mac, but cant remember what he said about using that for windows. (its for the linest problems)


thanks guys

9/26/2006 2:17:00 PM

^ i think its shift+F2

9/26/2006 2:31:42 PM

no go on the shift+F2. (it inserts a comment into the cell..)

9/26/2006 2:38:38 PM

hit f2, then hit control, shift, enter at the same time

9/26/2006 3:14:32 PM

awesome! works

9/26/2006 3:17:17 PM

is attendance mandatory? i was able to sign the attendance from home

9/26/2006 5:14:12 PM

dude, thats pretty awesome. i get nothing out of that class that i cant just get from reading the notes.... i might start doing that myself...


stupid mandatory lab.

9/26/2006 7:31:15 PM

uh yeah, i haven't been since the first week of class. i forgot that you can pretty much sign in from home. i hope all these missed classes doesn't fail me. i've gotten 100s/95s on all the webassigns otherwise, so i hope not.

9/27/2006 4:25:46 AM

I need help with this homework. I missed class on tuesday and have no idea how to do this stuff. I will pay for someone to tudor me tommorow or friday to help me learn how to do this Excel stuff.

9/27/2006 9:51:10 PM

Oh yeah...I am borderline retarded with anything math related.

9/27/2006 9:53:00 PM

no attendance isn't mandatory

9/27/2006 10:21:23 PM

homework is nearly the same thing we did last time.(solving for b+m1*x1+m2*x2...). -- put in your known x's, known y's, true, true into the linest formula in excel. then, highlight the cells, where you want the formula to display (4 cells across). press f2, then control, shift, enter at the same time. thats the formula...


to find percent error, you do (actual-predicted)/ predicted.


hope this helps (not the best at explaining this sort of stuff, but its sort of a general idea... )

9/28/2006 8:48:18 AM

thanks

9/28/2006 6:27:24 PM

I have the LINEST formula right...but it is only giving me one value. If you have the formula in a cell and a single anser...how do you convert it to the 4 cells to get the m's and b?

9/28/2006 7:44:08 PM

highlight 4 cells. then do the f2 and control, shift enter... you should get 4 values (your b and your 3 m values)

9/28/2006 8:25:58 PM

Scratch that...I got the formula but how do i do predicted price? what should change in the predicted price formula

wrong I took that class 2 years ago..I NEVER went to the class and I ended up with an A+ (99..I got 100's on every hw assignment but I lost a point for missing the first class)

9/28/2006 11:43:04 PM

For predicted price, just plug in the numbers to the formula given to you in blue. Then put the predicted price over the actual price to find the percent. If it's more, the % is positive, and if it's less, the % is negative
