The equation is :
ax2+bx+c=0 (where a>0)

And the steps are..
Step 1) axSquared+bx=-c
Step 2) xSquared +(b/a)x=-c/a
Step 3) ?????????

How do you figure this out, and what goes in Step 3.

My fiance and I will be travelling to Italy for our Honeymoon in June. We will be travelling from Rome to Florence, Florence to Venice, Venice to Sorrento and Sorrento to Rome, all on different days. We have looked into getting a EuroRail supersaver pass that entitles us to 3 days of unlimited travel, also purchasing an extra day. Altogether this will run about $450. Is this the best, most cost effective way to travel? Their website is difficult to understand, do we still need to pay extra for tickets? How do we know if we need reservations?

If someone has alcoholism, can they be given a second diagnosis of depression? Or is it generally assumed that the alcohol causes the depression?

I'm leaning towards two separate diagnoses, because they depression seems to have run in the family, alcoholism not so much.

(I'm not actually diagnosing someone...it's for a project... XD If I were a doctor I'd hope I wouldn't' have to come on Yahoo Answers for these kinds of questions...)

Let's say I was giving a diagnosis for a psychological disorder... Would saying:

"He suffers from alcohol abuse "

be correct?

the left side of his face is all messed up, it looked like he had all kinds of gunk or something in his fur, I tried to pick it off and it pulled off his fur and everything there with it, underneath it all, he has spots that look all nasty like they are infected, one is about the size of a quarter and is not bleeding, but has like a clearish white fluid oozing out of it and the other spots look like cuts or something and he is bleeding there well it's dried up some now..it is really gross and I've never seen anything like this before. I didn't hurt him or anything, he layed there and moved his head like he wanted me to help him with it, and never cried, his fur just peeled off as it was like it was all stuck together in a big old furry lump. I treated it with alcohol and don't know what else to do, I can't afford a vet right now.anyone seen this kind of thing before and know what it could possible be..I'm stumped

I understand why girls would wear revealing, form-fitting clothing in certain settings, like the beach or the club, etc.

But why do women in professional settings, like the workplace, or university, wear clothes that clearly reveal the exact shape and size of their breasts? Doesn't it seem a bit in appropriate? It doesn't leave much to the imagination!

The dentist always has a very difficult time numbing me for dental work. Yesterday when I had my top wisdom teeth pulled, he had trouble getting the bottom 2 out because he had to numb me 8 times and I could still feel it. He referred me to an oral surgeon who could put me under general anesthegia. My question is; Is it possible to feel pain while under general anesthesia? If so; could I be awaken during the removal of the bottom teeth from the pain?

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the
Stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go
Quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said
to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"

Oh, I don't know", said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you
A question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass, the same stuff. Yet a deer
Excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse
Produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea,"


To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to
Discuss nuclear power when you don't know ****?"

I need something simple (Its just a very casual dance), I know I should leave my hair down but although my hair is very straight it gets messed up easily so if there is another hair style that would work better or any last minute tips on how to not mess up my hair would be very appreciated. Thanks!

heres the deal. im a waiter and one night a couple asked for the check. i gave it to the woman well actually slid it to her. the guy stops me and asks why i did that. i said i didnt know who would pay so i slid it to her to hand it to you. he says that you should never hand a woman a check because itll make her feel like a prostitute. in my mind, im thinking, they never taught me this in school or at work. what kind of thinking is this? what ideology is this from?
