1 AnswerSoftware7 years agoDetermine the value for "x" such that the points A(-1, 3, 3), B(-2, 3, -1), and C(-5,6, "x") all lie on a plane that contains the origin.?
Here's what I've done (doesn't give me the right answer):
Eq 1. -1m-2n = -5
Changes to: m=-5+2n
Eq 2. 3m+3n=6
Eq 3. 4m-n="x"
Substitution (Eq 2 and 1):
3(-5+2n)+3n=6
-15+9n=6
9n=21
n=21/9
When I replace "n" with 21/9 in Eq. 3, I don't get the same number meaning the vectors don't even lie on the plane (which goes against what the questions says).

If you watch this video it shows sulfuric acid reacting with a sponge.

Apparently they used a drain cleaner that had the acid in it. If I just use sulfuric acid (as in just pour H2SO4 onto the sponge), will the same thing happen?

I am working with Ready To Program with Java. I am using HSA consoles. Everything seems to be working except one line:
javax.sound.sampled.Clip clip = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream (java.io.File $1);
where the program is giving me an error with "$1" (it is highlighting only the "$1"). There are no other errors in the program. I am trying to get sound to play when I run the program.

2 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoHow can I return all variable values to their original values in Ready to Program with Java?
To clarify, I have about 25 variables that when I declared them, I set a value to them. These values change as my program runs. My program is pretty much Deal or No Deal so after the game is over, I ask the user if they want to play again without having to close the program and re-open it. If they want to play again, how can I get all 25 variables to return to their initial values?
