Lisa Cuddy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Afraid not, the one I'm thinking of that is more modern and faster. Cheers for looking though! I never actually thought it would be that one! I assumed it would be a cover of that, but I've not listened to the actual radio in years, other than the news/weather/public transport announcements and school closures. I was merely indicating that that is about as modern as I'm going to get, while getting a giggle at that woman's dance. It's a great wee tune though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrgirl Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 In the mafia game is it the aim of the masons, civilians, doctor & investigator to kill the hunters, terrorists and mafia?? Yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I've always wondered about "Win A Year's Supply..." prizes. Say I win a "Year's Supply" of hot-dogs. How does that work? Am I given 365 hot-dogs? What if I like to eat 2 a day, do I get 730 hot-dogs? Is this a bulk delivery, or do I have to get up every Monday morning for a fresh delivery? Do they just calculate how much a years worth of hot-dogs cost and give me the cash? Or is it a coupon system where I can just go into Tesco at some point in the next year and take as many hot-dogs as I like without paying? I want a hot-dog. It's like the old joke about winning "A lifetime's supply of Marmite" (one jar). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I was just on IMDB, reading about Forrest Gump. It lists the cast and says; Robin Wright Penn ... Jenny Curran (as Robin Wright) What i'm wondering is, what does the (as Robin Wright) mean? There's loads of characters on IMDB written like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means her name came up in the credits as Robin Wright, but she's now known as Robin Wright Penn. Maybe the film was made before she married Sean Penn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_ Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 1. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve with equation y=5x^3 - 6x^2 at the point where x=1. (4) 2. f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3 (a) show that (x+1) is a factor of f(x) (b) hence or otherwise factorise f(x) fully. (5) Can anyone help with either of these questions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 1. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve with equation y=5x^3 - 6x^2 at the point where x=1. (4) 2. f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3 (a) show that (x+1) is a factor of f(x) (b) hence or otherwise factorise f(x) fully. (5) Can anyone help with either of these questions? 1. Differentiate the first one to give you dy/dx = 15x^2 - 12x. At x = 1, dy/dx = 15 - 12 = 3. So the gradient of the tangent at that point is 3. At x = 1, y = 5 - 6 = -1. Point is (1,-1). Use y-b=m(x-a) to give you y+1=3(x-1), which simplifies to be y+1=3x-3 or y=3x-4. 2. Use synthetic division with -1 as the divider and 1, -1, -5 and -3 as your coefficients, your answer will be 0, which shows that it is a factor, leaving your equation as (x+1)(x^2-2x-3). Then use trial and error to show that (x+1) is a factor again, leaving (x-3). Your factors are therefore (x+1)^2(x-3). Easy-peasy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Ive never understood this Pot, Kettle, Black thingy. Yes, I am daft. It's to do with hypocrisy. Original pots/kettles were made from cast iron, and thus either had a black appearance from the outset or were quickly charred by old fires. Thus when the pot calls the kettle black, it's a case of "taking one to know one". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The last two nights I've found the new format P&B to be extremelly slow at downloading. Is it just me who's experiencing this or are there others ? Anything I can do to speed it up ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Use the "Lo-Fi" option. Makes no great difference and also quite shitey to use. Have gone on other websites like Youtube etc and everything downloading quickly ,so its not my laptop or broadband server. Only having trouble with P&B for some reason !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
