i really need help from a math wiz…help?
how do i do this????

radical 3 divided by 1 plus radical 2? i cant type it ><


If you want a normal number out of that, you’ll need a calculator haha. Assuming I understood you correctly, if you have a graphing calculator, plug it in like this:

(v3)/(1+v2) — then press enter.

If you don’t have a graphing calculator, then these are the steps:

(a) Press 2, and then your square root button. Then add 1 to it. Write this answer somewhere and clear your calculator.
(b) Press 3, and then square root. Now divide that by the answer from (a).

Or is there an equation to solve for?

Beyond the Sea
Beyond the Sea (2004)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: Consummate entertainer Bobby Darin (1936-1973) is making a movie about his life. He’s volatile, driven by the love of performing, ambition, perfectionism, and belief that he’s living on borrowed time. He begins in the Bronx: a fatherless lad learning music and dance from his mom. His career starts slowly, then “Splish Splash” puts him at the top of the charts and on “Bandstand.” He wants to be an entertainer, not a pop star, so he aims for the Copacabana; then it’s on to the movies, where he meets and marries Sandra Dee. After, it’s balancing career, health, marriage and family life, balances he doesn’t always keep. Throughout, conversations with his boyhood self give him perspective.

What is beyond the Sea of Death?


There is nothing beyond the "Sea of Death". Oblivion. Non-existence. Am I making myself clear?

I once had a vision where I was previously doing some deep meditation and went to sleep with the question ‘what is life and death all about? The answer I had in a dream was pretty incredible, and so vivid I can remember it in detail today even though it was over 7 years ago.
I was taken to a place of darkness, and I mean total darkness, like being down a deep cave with no lights at all, it was very weird, but before I could think about it I was snapped up by a kind of spirit guide and taken to another place (this was only a dream don’t forget). I was told that if I stayed in darkness too long I would be lost forever. The place I was taken to was very unusual. It was like a villiage in darkness, but with tents instead of houses and the only lighting was camp fires outside of each tent. As I walked along side these tents with my spirit guide (as I call it) I was told of the many secrets of the universe. Also as we walked I noticed people of all walks of life exiting these tents, looking very upset and anxious and worried about stuff. They approached the campfires in deep thought every time. When I tried to make conversation they quickly excused themselves and retreated back into their tent they came from, never to be seen again. This happened for a long time as I walked along not understanding why these people were so distracted and seemed to have a lot on their mind. When I awoke I couldn’t remember what the great things the guide told me, and maybe we are meant to forget, but I figured out one meaning of all this. The campfires were knowledge, in the world of darkness, without the darkness we would not see the light. Every now and then we have to visit this place of darkness, so we can gain knowledge of the universe and answers to our deepest questions. Some people call this hell, but I think that this is a place we all visit when we are in our deepest thoughts and not necessarily when we are dead. Sometimes we have to look within ourselves for answers and the light within, but it may only be found in the sea of darkness. And I think this is what I was being told. When I say hell, I do not say it in the Religious context, as I don’t belive in hell in this manner. I just think that I was being shown that hell is only the darkest moments that we all have to face within ourselves, and that heaven can only be reached when we confront this darkness and gain knowledge of the universe from the fires of knowledge lit within our souls. When we pass on we will once again be re-united with the universal knowledge and will have no need for the darkness. We will only be one with the light, or heaven, as some call it.
Pretty deep huh?
Well I am not a nutter, just a normal family person who had a wonderful, inspiring dream one day that I am pleased to share with anyone who cares lol.
Enjoy life and be happy!

Little Mermaid, The
Little Mermaid, The (1989)

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: Loosely based upon the story by Hans Christian Andersen. Ariel, youngest daughter of King Triton, is dissatisfied with life in the sea. She longs to be with the humans above the surface, and is often caught in arguments with her father over those “barbaric fish-eaters”. She goes to meet Ursula, the Sea Witch, to strike a deal, but Ursula has bigger plans for this mermaid and her father.

Directors: Clements Ron, Musker John

What is the difference between The Little Mermaid the animated movie and the Broadway production?
I saw on a question and answer session that The Little Mermaid: the Broadway musical has a different ending than the original movie; i.e. Ariel saves the day instead of Prince Eric. Does anyone know how she saves the day?


Here is a list of the differences between the Musical and Film (I found this on wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_ Mermaid_(musical)#Differences_between_th e_Musical_and_Film

Plot
The shark chase sequence that introduces Ariel and Flounder has been removed.
Ursula’s magic shell is just a large nautilus shell, whereas in the 1989 film it is a necklace.
In the musical, Ursula is King Triton’s sister, while the film left the issue open-ended.
Ursula and Triton are equal, and upon the death of their father, Poseidon, Ursula received the magic shell while her brother received the trident. Each ruled half the oceans, until Ursula’s cruelty and use of black magic led to Triton deposing her and assuming full reign over the entire ocean world.
The "Under the Sea" sequence has been moved to after King Triton destroys Ariel’s collection of human things rather than before.
The magic shell allows Ursula to spy on people, so she does not "use" Flotsam and Jetsam’s eyes as in the film.
Ursula’s alter ego Vanessa and Eric’s sheepdog Max are not included.
In place of the Vanessa subplot, there is a contest with foreign princesses singing songs to see if Eric can recognize any of them to have Ariel’s voice.
Ariel does not receive her voice back until after she is turned back into a mermaid.
In the movie, Flotsam and Jetsam are killed when Ursula accidentally zaps them with the trident; in the musical they swim away after Ariel takes Ursula’s magic shell and their fate is unknown after that.
Ursula is destroyed simply by breaking the magic shell, as staging her becoming a giant and subsequent impalement on a ship would be too complicated to stage.
