What Are The 2 Numbers According To These Circumstances?

From Mathematics Forum:

What are the 2 numbers according to these circumstances? 2 Numbers have a difference of 16. Find the numbers if the result of adding their sum and product is a minimum.

Answer: Two numbers x and y. x - y = 16 You want (x + y) + Cy to be minimized, so plug in y = x - 16 x + x - 16 + x(x - 16) Simplify: x^2 - X -16 Take the derivative and set it equal to zero. 2x - 14 = 0 2x = 14 x = 7 Since y = x - 16, y = 7 - 16 = -9

What Is The Difference Between 2 Wire And 4 Wire Fire Alarm Devices?

From Other - Electronics Forum:

What is the difference between 2 wire and 4 wire fire alarm devices? I have seen 2 wire detectors and horn strobes, and 4 wire detectors and horn strobes. What is the difference? The 2 wires are cheaper.

Answer: In 2-wire systems the power and the detector signal are multiplexed onto 2 wires. The detector has to have circuitry to extract the power and multiplex the signal onto the wires, making them slightly more complex. In 4-wire systems the power is separate from the signal, unless there is more than one signal from the detector (i.e. smoke & heat). It could be 2 wires for power and 2 wires for a single signal (i.e. smoke), or 1 wire for power, 1 wire for smoke, and 1 wire for heat, with the Th wire being common to all 3. .

What Is The Difference Between Sims 2 Deluxe And Sims 2 Life Story?

From Video & On line Games Forum:

What is the difference between Sims 2 deluxe and Sims 2 life story? I have all the Sims 2 games ( expansion packs..........that stuff ) but I dint have any of the story ones. I'm thinking about the Sims 2 life story and the Sims 2 castaway. But what is the difference between Sims 2 ( deluxe ) and the life story one. Someone please tell me so I dint pay for a game I already have! haha! thx!

Answer: I have the Sims life stories and all of the Sims 2 expansion and some of the stuff packs. The Sims 2 life stories has two story mode neighborhoods and one free play neighborhood. In the first story mode neighborhood you play as Riley and you do numerous tasks until the end then you get to play in that neighborhood as a free play. In the second one you play as Vince and you basically do the same thing just with different characters, and different twists. I myself like Riley's story best. Although between Sims 2 and the Sims life stories I like Sims 2 games A LOT better. One thing I don't like about Sims life stories is that you can only have four people living in a household at once. I also own the Sims Castaway stories. That game isn't that bad either but I like the Sims 2 more. Hope I could help! Can you please answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApUP5yNQpcXCiiUzn5eN8Tbsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20101230125215AAFbbqR

How Do You Share A Printer Between 2 Network With Different Broadband Plan?

From Computer Networking Forum:

How do you share a printer between 2 network with different broadband plan? I have 2 different broadband plan used by 2 separate network ( 1 plan is sing net 6 bps plan share by 2 PC and the other is sing net 10 bps plan share by 3 PC). I have bought a 3 in 1 printer but how do I share this printer between the 2 network ?

Answer: I am going to assume that you have two different locations, with a separate network at each location. If you have one location with two different Internet providers, you are wasting a lot of money but I will address that option later on. With 2 separate networks, let's call the first network 1 at location 1 using carrier 1 with sub net 1 (192.168.1.0/24 for example) and with static public IPA address 1; similarly for network 2, at location 2 using carrier 2 with sub net 2 (192.168.2.0/24 for example) and with static public IPA address 2. If you have dynamic Addresses you will probably have serious problems and I will not get into potential options. Now let's say the printer is a network printer at location 1 and it has been assigned static LAN IPA address 192.168.1.250 and all PCs on 192.168.1.0/24 can access the printer. Set up router at location 1 for port forwarding TC Port 4000 to go to the printer at 192.168.1.250. Now set up PCs at location 2 to use the printer and assign the printer port the public IPA address of location 1 + 4000 port #; let's say the public IPA address at location 1 is ABC.def.ghi.jkl - you enter the port as ABC.def.ghi.jkl:4000 and finish the install. This assumes port 4000 is not in use. Now if you have both IPA addresses at same location, get a double WAN router and route it internally; router can have different private sub nets, just use IPA routing to route.

Is There A Trick To Running 2 Air Conditioning Units In A 2 Story Home For Efficiency?

From Maintenance & Repairs Forum:

Is there a trick to running 2 air conditioning units in a 2 story home for efficiency? We recently bought a 2 story home with 2 air conditioning units. Does any one have advice as the most cost efficient way to use these units? It would stand to reason there must be. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Answer: The first and best "trick" to efficient air conditioning is to thoroughly vent your attic. Be sure your attic has continuous venting under the softies and adequate venting at the peak of the roof. Put a thermometer up there on a warm day. If the temperature is more than 10 degrees hotter than outside, add at least two "wind turbines" or a big fan to get that hot air out of there. Your A/C won't work nearly as hard nor cost nearly as much to operate. Consider adding insulation to your attic. If you live where you have to heat in the winter, the combined summer and winter savings can pay back the cost in only 2 years. The second "trick" is to air your house out in the middle of the night by opening windows both up and down stairs. Then in the morning, close the windows to keep the cooler air in. Close drapes on the sunny side to keep the sun from overheating the house. If you have south facing windows that you don't absolutely have to see out of, cover them with aluminum foil, shiny side out. I then use an Exact knife to cut fine lacy patterns in the foil to admit a little light and to make pretty patterns on the walls. If you won't be using the upstairs rooms during the day, close the doors and turn off the A/C. It will only take an hour or so to cool the rooms off before they are needed. Following the above should save you about 30% on your A/C power costs.

How Many Tablespoons Ground Basil Is 2 Cups Of Fresh Leaves?

From Cooking & Recipes Forum:

How many tablespoons ground basil is 2 cups of fresh leaves? I need 2 cups of fresh basil leaves but I only have it ground (dry). How many tablespoons or grams is 2 cups of fresh basil leaves? Thanks a lot.

Answer: The standard ratio is to use 1 part dried herbs for 3 parts fresh herbs. In your case, 1 part dried herbs would be 2/3 of a cup. But, it also depends on what you're making. If you're making pesto, I wouldn't use the dried basil. If you're making sauce or a soup, adding dried herbs to taste would be your best bet.
