Science & Mathematics - 6 January 2007

I am studying for the Math Clep exam and need to pass it. Other than flash cards and a tutor (I cant afford it) what are some study methods yoiu can reccomend? And if you took the CLEP exam, tips on taking the test would be helpful as well, being that this is my first time taking a clep exam.

Imagine i have a capacitor of capacitance 100uF.Capacitance is nothing but the energy the capacitor can store?.If E=mc2 is true, then my capacitor must be able to store the same energy at all times, but in real case my capacitor fails after some days or months?what is the hidden mystery. kindly help me off....

Imagine i have a capacitor of capacitance 100uF.Capacitance is nothing but the energy or charge it can store. But my capacitor
fails to work after some time, and i threw it off. If E=MC2 IS correct, it must have the same capacitance and must not fail with time.Could you plz explain me the hidden mystery?.......

My understanding of stellar life cycles is that they eventually run out of core fusion fuel, so they begin fusing fuel in the other layers of the star, causing them to swell into red giants. As they consume their fuel, they eject their outer layers, which form a planetary nebula surrounding the cooler white dwarf. Finally, it cools into a black dwarf.

I don't understand what causes them to lose their mass. Is fusion actually consuming mass, losing it as radiated energy? In that case, does a loss of mass cause a loss of gravity, allowing the material to escape?

Also, are black dwarfs permanent structures, or do they decay further?

In the book, "the man who counted", there's a magic square made up by 9 small squares. The point of this square is, by using the number 1-9 only once, to have the sum of each line or column or diagonal always add up to 15.

Now, that may not be all that difficult, but my friend says there is a special pattern in which you enter the numbers in these squares. I wanted to find out myself, so... my question is what kind of math problems/exercises would help someone think "more mathematically", if you will, and prepare me to solve something like this?... any other info on this subject is welcome..

I have three checking acount deposits - $994.53 (solved), 1,545.05 & 1249.14. I believe that the checks that make up each deposit are in a combo of some or all of these amounts: $525.00 $1,249.14 $124.33 $128.83 $111.83 $90.97. I figured out by trial and error that the $994.53 deposit was 3 checks X $124.33 plus 2 checks X $128.83 plus 4 checks X $90.97 . Does any one know if there is an online calculator that can figure out the other two?

How do I find the horizontal asymtopes of
H(x) = (x^3-1)/(x^2-9) ?

I thought that there wouldn't be any because 3>2?? But it says in the back of my book that the horizontal asymptope is x=y, intersected at (1/9, 1/9)

Help please!! Thank you
