Have you made some attempt to answer these? If so, post them and someone can tell you if you're on the right track. Some of them are tougher, but many of them are the basics you should know in order to even do your homework.

Fsehar, please do not tag onto someone else's old post, especially when it's totally unrelated.

Also, please read the guidelines about posting homework questions that is in red at the top of this forum. We not do just answer things for you -- please try to answer the question yourself first and post that.
