What is a symbolic manipulator on a calculator?
Q. My TI-89 is not allowed in my calc 3 course because it has a symbolic manipulator. I have seen it on there but I don't even know what it is or how to use it. What is it?
Asked by King Emu - Wed Jan 9 10:15:44 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A symbolic manipulator allows equations to be handled in general form, as opposed to numeric form. A symbolic manipulator will, for example, allow you to solve 3x^2 + 2y - 41.76 = x - 1.7y^2 for y without knowing any of the numbers involved. A normal calculator requires that you fill in numbers for x and y before it can do anything with the problem.

What is the symbolic significance of Odysseus meeting with the Sirens?
Q. The question goes into a little bit more depth then the above: Question: Beyond the literal existence pf the sirens, what symbolic significance does the temptation of Odysseus through these creatures serve? Why does Homer have Odysseus listen to their song? Yeah, I have no clue. Funny thing is, I was also wondering why Odysseus had to listen, and BAM homework question. =/ Thanks in advance. (9th grade level answer please? XD)
Asked by hasanhamirani - Thu Dec 10 21:05:18 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It symbolizes the curious and risk taking side of Odysseus. There is also the challenge of the Sirens song and the prophesy that the sirens could only live entil they were by passed by sailors without being moved by the Sirens' songs. Odysseus shows his intelligence in having himself tied to the mast before hearing as they did affect him.

Q. What are some symbolic numbers from the Bible, and that represent God?
Asked by Cami - Sat Oct 31 11:31:54 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. the number four is used to denote allness or universalness. This idea is conveyed in such expressions as four extremities of the earth and four winds of the heavens. (Isaiah 11:12; Daniel 8:8) At times, the number six represents imperfection. Interestingly, the number given to Satan s earthly political organization by the book of Revelation is a man s number 666. (Revelation 13:18) Here six is raised to the third degree, underscoring the imperfection of that beastly organization. When the number seven is used in a symbolic way, it represents completeness

A. The rabid dog, Tim Johnson, represents prejudice, and how, like a rabid dog, it spreads its disease throughout the South. Atticus Finch is seen as the hero, the avenger, as he kills racism and prejudice, not allowing it to spread itself any further.

What is the symbolic meaning of Ellison swearing in on the Koran?
Q. Recently, a Democratic congressman named Ellison, a Muslim, insisted upon being sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's Koran for symbolic reasons. Jefferson initiated a war against the Muslim Barbary Pirates and used the Koran to understand his Muslim opponents. So, what is the real symbolic message Ellison just gave Americans? Lots of good answers so far. This raises another angle: Is it possible for a true Muslim to put his first loyalty in our Constitution and Nation when their principles are violations of Islam? Sharia and our Constitution simply do not mix. I think we should all be aware of the process of Islamic takeover of a society: Understanding Jihad

Can a Symbolic Link in Linux help with a low disk space problem?
Q. I am installing an RPM package for Vmware Update 2 and I am running out of space in /var/updates. I have lots of space elsewhere. Can I use a Symbolic link from /var/updates to (another directory) as a solution? Does it work this way?
Asked by brooklyn_gent - Sun Nov 16 20:04:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. is it because /var is on another partition? yes anyway, you can move the real "bytes" somewhere else, and then create a symbolic lnk to that (being root maybe!): cd /var/updates mv afileordir /mnt/bigpartition ln -s /mnt/bigpartition/afileor dir afileordir normally symlink works, but sometimes they are not enough. binding could help in these cases; eg suppose you need a whole directory from /var/updates being "mapped" somewhere else... you can add to fstab a line like /mnt/bigpart/adir /var/updates/adir none rw,bind 0 0 where of course /mnt/bigpart/adir must exist (and is a dir); then you will see the /var/updates/adir exactly as if it were exactly there...

Asked by B-Dash - Wed Jun 13 15:57:39 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The scent of the Plumeria has been associated with a vampire in Malay folklore, the pontianak. They are associated with temples in both Hindu and Buddhist cultures though Hindus do not use the flowers in their temple offerings. In several Pacific islands, such as Hawaii and Tonga, Plumeria is used for making leis. The flower is also, in Hawaiian culture, worn by women to indicate relationship status - over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken.

A. Friend, There is a teaching today that is very popular called the "replacement doctrine," which teaches that since OT Israel fell from grace, they are replaced as the chosen people by the Church. It is for this reason among others that they tend to symbolize away things pertaining to Israel. By the way, this is a false doctrine. People very often want to "symbolize away" or "spiritualize away" things so that they don't have to accept a given teaching and therefore are able to continue doing as they please. Man wants to think he is good and wants to be thought of or seen as being good, but he does not want to do good.
