EXPONENTIAL, POWER, AND LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS

An incentive plan for the Talk Alot long-distance phone company varies the cost of a call according to the formula cost = a + b log t, where t represents time in minutes. When calling long distance, the cost for the first minute is $0.50. The cost for 15 minutes is $3.44.

a) Find the a-value in the equation.
b) Find the b-value in the equation.

There's more to the problem but that's the only part I need help on. If you could give step-by-step instructions and guide me through his problem, I'd appreciate it very much! Thanks!

I have a six month old who sleeps with us. All three of us agree to that arrangement.
I breastfeed and he stirs quite often and goes back to sleep with a boobie. We refuse to "let him cry", it just seems cruel to us. But some nights he seems to nurse all night and I don't get any sleep.
Any moms experience this? How did he sleep on his own? We decided that he would move to his crib (naptime is the crib) at night when he is a year old, since that is when I plan to quit breast feeding, I don't think I can last another full year (when he is 18 months).

I can't love this guy anymore. There is no way we can end up together, we will always be just friends. It is ripping me apart, and it is unhealthy. I already tried liking someone else, and I tried not talking to him for a while and it didn't work. Also keep in mind that he is one of my good friends, and I wouldn't want to do anything detrimental to our friendship. I don't think I'm just going to stop liking him with time, I don't know. So what do you all suggest I do?

I was in a car accident today. I started to change lanes and saw a lady in my blind spot, so swerved back into my lane. She thought I was still coming and swerved , then lost control of the car, spun out and hit me. She said she hit me when I came into her lane. The cop basically told me I remembered it wrong and I was at fault, since she hit me when I came into her lane and her hitting me caused her to spin out.

Basically, I want to know if there is a website or someway of telling at what angle the car hit me to prove she was already spinning out of control when she hit me.

I am just wondering what is the best ratio of vinegar to water for a multipurpose cleaning solution. I have seen everything from half and half to 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. I use it to clean sinks, counters and in the bathroom. Is there a certain strength it needs to be to kill germs, bacteria and mold?

Why is it every time the US goes to war , the other sides casualties { be it soldier or civilian } mean very little to the American people ? This war on terror is the same - the US grieves for its soldiers but not the " other " sides dead . I believe if people actually understood life and death they would be grieving for both sides and not just perceiving them as the " enemy " - there people too { and I am mainly talking about innocent people } who deserve a chance at life no more and no less then you do .

Anyone agree ?

Last summer my husband admitted that he didn't want me to be a housewife and so I went back to work. I have now picked up a full time job and he has picked up...nothing.

I work full time, raise 3 kids (1 disabled), go to school part time, take care of the house and everything I did before I went back to work. My husband is a truckdriver so he's only home 3 days a month. It all falls on me and he hasn't seemed to take into consideration how much I do.

Me self esteem was low before and I am really enjoying my job and the chance at a future.

My problem is that I'm tired and my husband doesn't seem to care. He will complain that the house isn't as clean as it use to be, but after doing the dishes he lays on the couch. I have so many things in my life and he has become an inconvenience. There is no evidence that he cares about the family. We don't have any kind of interesting conversations and sex is better by myself. How wrong am I for feeling this way?

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness...just as they did.




I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. Returning
each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited! (When I'm
an old lady and live with my kids)




I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing my shoes.






I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I'll
stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!




(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they're on the phone and just out of reach, I'll
get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they'll
snap their fingers and then shake their head, (When I'm
an old lady and live with my kids)




When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!

I am a good beginning skier, I took the sport naturally. But, I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 95 pounds, so I'm thin. Though, my legs have muscle thanks to ballet. In case your thinking this is really thin, it's not for my height. So don't tell me to gain weight, it's not necessary.

Problem: I live in Illinois and we don't have the nicest runs in the surrounding resorts so there are small bumps in the hard snow. When I go over these areas my skis shake, I feel like I lose contact with the snow becuase I'm too light, and fear losing control. How can I press into the snow and keep better contact while going over these small bumps?

In general I think I float over the slopes because no matter what I try, I fly down the slopes faster than any of my friends. I'd rather go slower as a beginner.
