Notes

The simplest answer to this question is that by the summer of 1789, when Louis XVI summoned the Estates-General, the fiscal crisis that beset France in the late eighteenth century was probably too far gone to be salvaged. Indeed, in this climate, the meeting of this body (which was almost never convened) really made things worse and proved to be the seminal event in the outbreak of the Revolution. This was because the representatives of the First and Second Estates (the clergy and the nobility, respectively) insisted on sitting separately from the Third Estate (the bourgeoisie and commoners). In this way they could block any reforms to the privileges, especially exemption from taxation, that the Third Estate might try to implement. In fact, the King had hoped that the Estates-General would agree to some reforms--this is why he called for the assembly in the first place. When the Third Estate called for the Estate-General to sit as one body, which would have given them more voting power...

Hello! Denote the given masses as `m_1^0` and `m_2^0,` and the speeds as `v_1` and `v_2.` I suppose the given masses are the rest masses, and they'll change with the changing of the speeds. Relativistic momentum is defined the same way as non-relativistic momentum: `p=mv,` where `m` is the current (observed) mass depending of a frame of reference. Also we know that the mass `m` depends on the speed `v` as `m=m_0/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2),` so `p_1 = m_1 v_1 = (m_1^0 v_1)/sqrt(1-v_1^2/c^2),`   `p_2 = m_2 v_2 = (m_2^0 v_2)/sqrt(1-v_2^2/c^2).` It is given that `p_1=p_2.` The only unknown quantity here is `v_1,` and we can find it from this equation. It is more convenient to express `v_1` in terms of `c,` i.e. to find `k_1=v_1/c` (`k_2=v_2/c` is given). The equation is then equivalent to `(m_1^0 k_1)/sqrt(1-k_1^2) = (m_2^0 k_2)/sqrt(1-k_2^2),`  or squared  `((m_1^0)^2 k_1^2)/(1-k_1^2) = ((m_2^0)^2 k_2^2)/(1-k_2^2).` Multiply by `1-k_1^2,` collect the terms with `k_1^2` and it becomes `k_1^2((m_1...

Mary has many selfish habits, once of which is a desire to satisfy her own curiosity. When she keeps hearing the crying in the night, she gets up to investigate, not caring that she might get in trouble with Mrs. Medlock. Finding Colin, she bravely talks to him, even though he has a frightening appearance. Her curiosity and a deep ache for the companionship of someone her own age make it so that she's not afraid of Colin. While the staff members fear Colin for his unpredictable behavior, his frightening tantrums, and his ability to get them fired, Mary has no such fear. She herself has been an utterly spoiled child who has thrown tantrums to get her way, and she sees through Colin's behavior, even slapping some sense into him. Because, like Colin, Mary has also tried to ease her own misery by inflicting it on others, Mary is so similar to her cousin that she understands him well and realizes that his behavior shouldn't be tolerated: When she had had a headache in India she ...

`sum_(n=1)^oo1/(2n+3)^3` For the integral test, if f is positive, continuous and decreasing for `x>=1` and `a_n=f(n)` , then `sum_(n=1)^ooa_n` and `int_1^oof(x)dx` either both converge or diverge. Now, `f(x)=1/(2x+3)^3` Now function is positive and continuous. Let's determine whether f(x) is decreasing, by finding its derivative `f'(x)` `f(x)=(2x+3)^(-3)` `f'(x)=-3(2x+3)^(-3-1)d/dx(2x+3)` `f'(x)=-3(2x+3)^(-4)(2)` `f'(x)=-6/(2x+3)^4` `f'(x)<0` , so the function is decreasing Because f(x) satisfies the conditions for the integral test, we can apply integral test. `int_1^oo1/(2x+3)^3dx` `=[1/2(2x+3)^(-3+1)/(-3+1)]_1^oo` `=[1/-4(1/(2x+3)^2)]_1^oo` `=-1/4[1/(2*oo+3)^2-1/(2*1+3)^2]` `=-1/4[0-1/5^2]` `=-1/4(-1/25)` `=1/100` So f(x) converges. Therefore, `sum_(n=1)^oo1/(2n+3)^2` converges.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Capulet garden scene in Romeo and Juliet is the most famous in literature, but it is definitely well-known.  I think the reason for this is that the story itself is compelling, because of the forbidden love.  Also, the language is beautiful and perfectly captures young love. One the most interesting things about this scene is that it really only says that Juliet is at a window.  She is usually given a balcony so that she can actually move around.  There is limited movement at a window.  Also, Romeo could see her better on a balcony.  I think there is something inherently romantic about balconies, anyway. The story of Romeo and Juliet is compelling, of course.  This would not be one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays if it wasn’t.  In this scene, we get to see the young lovers agree that they will marry, so it is the culmination of their brief courtship.  Romeo also demonstrates how much he loves Juliet by comparing her to the moon, w...

An introduction to a literary analysis contains many of the same elements as the introduction to other kinds of essays, particularly the argumentative essay.  Remember, an analysis is making an argument that you are going to support with the literary text.  Let's go over what you need, generally and specifically.  First, a good way to start is the funnel method, starting with a general idea and then narrowing down to the specifics of your argument, as a funnel is broad at the top and narrow at the bottom.  For instance, if I were writing an analysis of The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald), I might begin with some discussion of the American dream.  Or I could begin with some discussion of the Roaring Twenties, depending on the focus I am going to narrow down to.  The idea is to engage the reader in a more general topic as a way of opening the door to your analysis. Second, you must name your literary text and its author in the introduction. We do not assume the reader is our professor, wh...

For your two quotes on parental love, you might consider these: At the beginning of the play, just after the street fight breaks out between the Montagues and Capulets, Lady Montague asks, "O, where is Romeo?  Saw you him today? / Right glad I am he was not at this fray" (1.1.118-119).  His mother's concern for him is certainly very loving.  She is glad that her son was not at this fight because she wouldn't want him to get hurt, and she doesn't want him to get in trouble with the prince either.  Further, Romeo's father is quite worried about him because he has been so miserable of late.  He cries, shuts out the sun, and keeps to himself.  He says, "Black and portentous must this humor prove, / Unless good counsel may the cause remove" (1.1.144-145).  In other words, he fears the effect that Romeo's unhappiness will have if it continues much longer, and he seems to hope that Benvolio will be able to help him.  Montague clearly loves his son and w...
