Hi all, I will post the question then my method, I am going slightly wrong somewhere, but cant quite see where. Here goes

Find the gradient function (differentiate once)

[(x+3)(x-2)]/2x

so here is my method

(x^2 +3x - 2x - 6)/2x

= x/2 + 3/2 - 1 - 3x^-1

= 1/2(x) + 1/2 -3x^-1

dy/dx = 1/2(x^0) + 1/2 + 3x^-2

= 1/2(1) + 1/2 + 3/x^2

= 1 + 3/x^2

The answer on the back is 1/2 + 3/x^2

Im doing something wrong somewhere, but cant see where!

Mary questions the angel by saying how could she give birth to a child if shes a virgin, but at the same time she was bethrothed to Joseph... why would she ask this question if she was about to marry Joseph... If she was expecting to have sex with her future husband then wouldn't she know that they would conceive a child like that.
Luke 1:31,34
Where were they when Jesus was lost as a child? Luke 2:41-51
Where were they when Jesus gave his mother to John?
John 19:26-27
It's clear that the "brothers and sisters" of Jesus were all disciples/ or even apostles of Jesus since they're mentioned in the upper room with the other apostles. So there was no excuse for Jesus not handing over Mary to his other brothers Acts Of Apostles 1:14. Mary the mother of Jesus had a sister named mary of Cleopas John 19:25. James and Joseph are listed as the "brothers of Jesus". James and Joseph are also the sons of Mary of cleopas (the sister of the mother of Jesus) Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:47.

i personally think kennedy is a lot better than santino marella. marella won the title because of bobby lashley, he didn't win it on his own. I personally hate Umaga but when he was wrestling Marella, Umaga should have killed him! Santino is a pathetic weak person who can't wrestle, and only gained fame because of bobby lashely. Santino will never be as good as kennedy. Mr. Kennedy should have won that title not santino marella a.k.a. LOSER!!!!

I've worked at this place for over a year now and there's a new girl in the office. She's nice to everyone else but is two-faced. When we're working together without anyone else or if there's no one within hearing range she's really sarcastic and rude. She doesn't take advice from myself or any of the other co-workers. I want to make this work; I love my job. But I need help on how to deal with her! Please advise. Thanks.

I am a soldier in Iraq and recently received a red cross messafe that my mother had committed suicide. I went home and took care of all the details, being the next of kin, I didn't have much of a choice. I viewed her decomposed body, the pictures from the detectives of her hanging. All the while not shedding a tear, I was there but some how so detached from everything that was going on. My mother had suffered from mental illness, due to abuse in her childhood, and had attempted suicide before. Somehow though it was still a shock that she actually did it, she always reached out for help. Well I had to come back to finish my tour in Iraq, and that is when all emotions finally hit. I cried for days, have horrible nightmares(I had these at home too), sad as could be. I tried to go home but the doc here says I am fit for duty. So I suck it up and soldier on. Now I am so angry at everyone myself, my aunt's, my father, my husband. But not her, was when I first found out, it's not her fault!

what does your menu look like? I think it would be nice to get some ideas out there for others who might be putting together a brunch.

As for my Mom's day menu, I'm basing my menu mostly on Food Network's brunch menu. Here's what it looks like:

Grapefruit
Fresh Fruit and mint salad (Food Network)
Orange Glazed Blueberry Scones (Food Network)
Almond Dutch Pancake
Vanilla Dutch Pancake
Bacon Twists (Food Network)
Eggs (any good recipes out there?)
Potatoes
Coffee
Orange Juice
Strawberry Bellini (Food Network)

Though I have many female friends I find myself spending most of my time with males. I am more relaxed and have a better time with male friends, cousins, and co-workers. I even feel more comfortable chatting online with only guys. Why is that? Do women subconcsiously feel like they are always in competition with the other woman or women in the room? Is it a security issue?
