I went to my local fish store and they told me real plants were much better for the fish than fake ones. So i bought the easiest ones to care for. I planted them in my aquarium and they were doing fine at first. Now they've all turned Yellow or brown and are dead except one of them ( i bought 5).

I use a weekly plant solution,
I keep my aquarium light on for exactly 10 hours a day,
and I keep my aquarium very clean.

Please help me before every one of my plants die!!!!

I totally got stuck at this calculus assignment again. :(
Need some help from you guys again. :)
So I have to find and explicitly express a function that is continuous and increasing in its all real number domain, it has to be bounded, but not differentiable. I thought about y = |x|, but it's not bounded, and half of its part is decreasing. Any idea guys?
another question is if f(x) = (x^3)cos(1/x) where x does not equal to 0, and f(x) is also equal to 0 (a point itself).
is this function f(x) differentiable, continuous, monotonic, bounded, and integrable on the interval [-1,1]?
f(x) = | (x^3)cos(1/x) x does not equal to 0
| 0
hope i made this question look clear enough. :(
Thanks in advance

What do you do when you want to screw only the working people of your nation with the largest tax increase in history and hand those trillions of dollars to your wealthy campaign contributors, yet not have anybody realize you've done it? If you're Ronald Reagan, you call in Alan Greenspan.
Through the "golden years of the American middle class" - the 1940s through 1982 - the top income tax rate for the hyper-rich had been between 90 and 70 percent. Ronald Reagan wanted to cut that rate dramatically, to help out his political patrons. He did this with a massive tax cut in the summer of 1981.
The only problem was that when Reagan took his meat axe to our tax code, he produced mind-boggling budget deficits. Voodoo economics didn't work out as planned, and even after borrowing so much money that this year we'll pay over $100 billion just in interest on the money Reagan borrowed to make the economy look good in the 1980s, Reagan couldn't come up with the revenues he needed to run the government.
Coincidentally, the actuaries at the Social Security Administration were beginning to get worried about the Baby Boomer generation, who would begin retiring in big numbers in fifty years or so. They were a "rabbit going through the python" bulge that would require a few trillion more dollars than Social Security could easily collect during the same 20 year or so period of their retirement. We needed, the actuaries said, to tax more heavily those very persons who would eventually retire, so instead of using current workers' money to pay for the Boomer's Social Security payments in 2020, the Boomers themselves would have pre-paid for their own retirement.
Reagan got Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Alan Greenspan together to form a commission on Social Security reform, along with a few other politicians and economists, and they recommend a near-doubling of the Social Security tax on the then-working Boomers. That tax created - for the first time in history - a giant savings account that Social Security could use to pay for the Boomers' retirement.
This was a huge change. Prior to this, Social Security had always paid for today's retirees with income from today's workers (it still is today). The Boomers were the first generation that would pay Social Security taxes both to fund current retirees and save up enough money to pay for their own retirement. And, after the Boomers were all retired and the savings account - called the "Social Security Trust Fund" - was all spent, the rabbit would have finished its journey through the python and Social Security could go back to a "pay as you go" taxing system.
Thus, within the period of a few short years, Reagan dramatically dropped the income tax on America's most wealthy by more than half, and roughly doubled the Social Security tax on people earning $30,000 or less. It was, simultaneously, the largest income tax cut in America's history (almost entirely for the very wealthy), and the most massive tax increase in the history of the nation (which entirely hit working-class people).
But Reagan still had a problem. His tax cuts for the wealthy - even when moderated by subsequent tax increases - weren't generating enough money to invest properly in America's infrastructure, schools, police and fire departments, and military. The country was facing bankruptcy.
No problem, suggested Greenspan. Just borrow the Boomer's savings account - the money in the Social Security Trust Fund - and, because you're borrowing "government money" to fund "government expenditures," you don't have to list it as part of the deficit. Much of the deficit will magically seem to disappear, and nobody will know what you did for another 50 years when the Boomers begin to retire 2015.
Reagan jumped at the opportunity. As did George H. W. Bush. As did Bill Clinton (although Al Gore argued strongly that Social Security funds should not be raided, but, instead, put in a "lock box"). And so did George W. Bush.
The result is that all that money - trillions of dollars - that has been taxed out of working Boomers (the ceiling has risen from the tax being on your first $30,000 of income to the first $90,000 today) has been borrowed and spent. What are left behind are a special form of IOUs - an unique form of Treasury debt instruments similar (but not identical) to those the government issues to borrow money from China today to fund George W. Bush's most recent tax cuts for billionaires (George Junior is still also "borrowing" from the Social Security Trust Fund).
Former Bush Junior Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill recounts how Dick Cheney famously said, "Reagan proved deficits don't matter." Cheney was either ignorant or being disingenuous - it would be more accurate to say, "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter if you rip off the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for them, and don't report that borrowing from the Boomers as part of the deficit."

Her name is Sophie and although we haven't been owned by her for very long, she means the world to us especially my 6 year old son. She is currently at a pet hospital (has been since yesterday) and everything looks good so far. I will know more tonight and believe me I have a list of questions for the Vet. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had a dog with this and how their quality of life has been. Sophie had no prior symptoms before the incident that prompted us the seek medical attention, I think it may have been brought on by stress(she went for a haircut because the heat where I live was bothering her, vet said it was okay to do it) or possibly a reaction to the shampoo the groomer used.
I have been told that it is a genetic *disease* but I feel totally responsible for it happening because I got her hair cut. And here I thought I was helping her :(
