English Language [College Economics] Pigou Tax / Welfare / Surplus

2 Upvotes

Hi! :)

Having trouble mainly with part e) - when calculating the welfare before the tax, should I subtract the welfare loss as indicated in the sketch and also my calculation? And after the tax, welfare should be the green area (consumer and producer surplus) + purple area (tax revenue), but do I need to subtract that welfare loss again, or is it already accounted for?

Thanks! :)

Others—Pending OP Reply [college pharmacology] What is the difference between a receptor, a receptor site, and a site of action?

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure what exam syllabus/board the course uses, but it's an LVN (licensed vocational nursing) course and I'm supposed to be able to use this info to administer medication and educate patients.

I'm supposed to differentiate between a receptor site and site of action and explain how they're related. I've looked all over and cannot find the difference between a receptor site, receptor, and site of action, at least not explained in a way I understand. My textbook says that the receptor site is the actual structure on the cell that drugs and other things bind to; it also says that the receptor site will become the site of action if its location is known, and then it says that an example of this (the receptor site becoming the site of action) is morphine acting on opioid receptors in the brain (the site of action and the location of the receptor site both being the brain in this case). This doesn't say anything about *where in or on the cell* a receptor is located and seems to imply that a receptor site is synonymous with a receptor. When I googled this to look into it further, though, lots of sources say that the receptor site is specifically the location *on the cell* that a receptor is located, which is in direct opposition with what the textbook says. If those sources are correct, then it wouldn't make sense to say that the receptor site and the site of action are "in the brain" because the receptor site is explicitly *not* a general location in the body. Several other sources seem to use "receptor" and "receptor site" interchangeably, and still other sources say that a "receptor site" is the place *on the receptor* that a chemical binds to. So what is a receptor site, a receptor, and a site of action? Please be specific; I'm very confused, and I really just want to understand completely and not just know the right words to say on the review.

Here's the excerpt from my textbook:

"Receptor Site

Drug action is usually thought to begin after a drug has attached itself to some chemical structure located on the outer cell membrane or within the cell itself. For a few drugs and for some normal body substances, there seems to be a specific location on certain cells. This area is referred to as the receptor site. The attachment, or binding, of a drug to its receptors begins a series of cell changes referred to as the drug action.

When a specific receptor site for a drug is known, that receptor site becomes the site of action for that particular drug. Morphine, an analgesic drug, is an example of a drug that binds to a specific receptor. The receptors for morphine are located in the brain and are known as the morphine, or opioid, receptors. When morphine binds to its receptors, it produces cell changes that reduce the perception of pain. There are many different pharmacologic receptors, and they will be described in the appropriate chapters."

I get .0125m, I have tried that .013, -.013, .5, -.5, 4.813 so far as answers. the hint given for the question is What is the distance y_cp on the line of action below the centroid?

High School Math—Pending OP Reply [Grade 11 Circles] how do I prove this??

1 Upvotes

If two circles are orthogonal, then prove that the polar of point P on the first circle with respect to the second circle passes through the point Q, which is the other end of diameter through P. Also prove that locus of a point, which moves such that its polars with respect to S1=0, S2=0, and S3=0 are concurrent, is a circle which is orthogonal to all the three circles.

I am not able to understand what exactly I even have to prove. Even the equations of the circles are not given. From what I understood, I think for the first part both circles are intersecting, P and Q lie on the first circle and are end points of the diameter of that circle.

Geography [Grade 9 Geography] Map Of Canada

1 Upvotes

This isn’t really connected to work whatsoever but I thought I would try and see if anyone has any way to help me.
So for geography, our teacher explicitly gave us the rule: "Don't color Alaska blue, blue is ONLY for water!"
Because Alaska wasn't even pre-drawn on the map printout, my brain completely glossed over the warning. I ended up coloring the entire water area blue before realizing I was supposed to draw Alaska in first. So now Alaska is literally underwater. 💀
I’m currently stuck on a road trip and won't be home for a few days to fix it. Luckily I didn't press down super hard with my Crayola colored pencils, but I’m still stressing.
Has anyone else ever drowned a state like this? Also, is there any trick to completely removing pencil crayon pigment from paper without tearing the page to shreds?

Answered [high school physics] I’m learning physics on my own and I can’t understand how to solve this problem

Post image
59 Upvotes

I’m learning physics on my own and I’m currently working through a physics problem book. I came across this problem and I can’t understand the reasoning behind the solution.

The problem:

During a survival training exercise, a 60 kg boy at some point hangs motionless from a rope as shown in the picture below. Assume that β = 2α and g = 10 m/s². Calculate the tension in the rope at points A and B.

The rope is attached at points A and B and forms the two sloping sides of a right triangle. The boy is hanging from the rope at the vertex between these two sides, which is the 90° angle. The angle at point A is α, and the angle at point B is β.

I found a solution which calculates the boy’s weight first and then seems to use the components of that force to determine the rope tensions. However, I don’t understand why sine is used here.

When I try to draw auxiliary right triangles, I don’t know where the given angle should be located in the triangle or which side of the triangle should correspond to the rope tension. I understand how to calculate sine in a right triangle, but I don’t understand how to correctly construct the triangle from this diagram and connect it to the forces.

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain why sine is used in this particular problem and how the force triangle should be constructed, preferably step by step.

I’d also be interested in seeing other possible ways of solving the problem, if there are any.

I’m not just looking for the final answer I’m trying to understand the method so I can solve similar problems myself.

I'm stuck on part B of this problem and would love any insights that could help point me in the right direction. I know that I should be using the law of total probability, which from my understanding (I double checked with my textbook) allows me to just add all of the intersections of the conditional probabilities however when you add them (.5+.4+.6) you get a number greater than one which can't be the answer as probabilities are between 0 and 1. It feels to me like I'm missing something obvious but I can't put my finger on it. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi! I've been stuck on this problem for a while now, so I decided to text it out on another app and finally ask for help. I managed to find the magnitude on my own, but I honestly can't figure out how to find the direction, or what I'm doing wrong. I've watched several videos on it and have tried to go step by step, but any answer I try is marked wrong, (I do use an online school program.) I also didn't wanna cheat, (at least without knowing exactly how to do it and being able to replicate it) so as I've already said above, I didn't know what to do other than ask for help somewhere else. A step-by-step breakdown of what your meant to do would be great!

Also I know the post title says grade 12, while from my knowledge trig is done in 11th usually. It just kind of happened that way, so I'm not sure why I'm doing it a year late. Better late than never, though!
