Someone will check your work and offer advice if your solution is incorrect. When you post so many problems at once, folks are less likely to help, especially if you do not show what you have so far. And don't post the same problems in multiple threads across multiple fora, while you may think that will get you help faster, it probably has the opposite effect. What do you have for the first two problems? DLowry gave you what you need to answer the first one, and I gave you what you need for the second one. Do you understand how to answer them? Once you are clear on these, we can move to the next one. As you get the first problems clear, you may find you know how to do many of the later problems as well.
