Amicable number

atom is the proton. The proton is a very important part of an atom, because the atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons that that atom has. Additionally, the mass of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons of that atom. The number of electrons that an atom has is also equal to the number of protons that that atom has.…

of this quadratic equation is all real numbers, or (?∞,∞). To find the range, I evaluated the (h,k) which in this equation is (1/4, 15/8). I can see that this parabola has a minimal value of 15/8 and go up to positive infinity. The range is y is greater than or equal to 15/8, or y. The maximum/minimum value can be found by the output of the quadratic function at the vertex. By evaluating the vertex in y=2(x-1/4)?+15/8, I noticed that -1/4 was a negative number which meant that it had a minimum…

Gender divides nearly everything, from colors to toys. The simple mention of the color pink conjures images of numerous ideas and stereotypes associated with girls, while blue creates the same for boys. In her article for The Huffington Post, Sarah Aoun discusses the extension of this division into the sector of technology in higher education and beyond.

Ethical Concerns Experimental design is a field whereby ethical concerns are almost always a top priority. Although most individuals see ethical norms as common sense, they often vary from culture to culture and there can be discrepancies in the interpretation even by members within a certain cultural group. Furthermore, it is vital to determine any potential ethical concerns contained within an experiment and address those concerns in order to reduce their potential impact on the results.…

This implies many things. The atomic number of an element indicates how many electrons and protons there are. The number of electrons should always be the same of protons because their charges cancel and the overall charge of the atom is neutral, and so the number of protons and electrons of copper is 29. There are 29 electrons surrounding the nucleus, organized in orbitals. There are 29 protons in the nucleus, however the number of neutrons is dependent of the carbon isotope being…

“will that be cash or credit?” If the customer says cash, the following isn’t necessary. When placing a credit card order, you have to ask the customer for their card number.
