    Please do not double post your question. I see you attempted to make it into columns; however; as you can see, columns don't work when it posts. If you will start "previewing" your posts first, you'll see what it will come out looking like so that you don't have to post over and over to find out. You can also edit within 24 hours, and if you have further things you'd like to post to a problem, you can add it to the same thread. That is, no need for a second thread, which just confuses the masses.

    Also please see the homework guidelines:

    Surely you've attempted at least some of this?
