As the question states. The rest of the problem looks normal, but instead of the widths (w in the calculation) being the same, its varies. Say there are 7 sections, 2 are 50, 3 are 150, and 2 are 100. None if the same width ones are next to each other. So like 50, 100, 50, 150, etc.

How would you solve that problem? By doing separate trapezoid rule equations for each width, then adding the solutions together?

I've never seen an example with different widths and can't find one online.

Mine was civil fe. My results won't be in until next Wednesday, since I took it yesterday.

I studied for 4 months, 200 hours total, and straight-up guessed on 47% of the questions. I DEFINITELY failed.

I felt like several of the questions weren't even remotely similar to what I studied. They were more complex, and I didn't know how to do them.

There were also a few that I knew which equation to use, but they seemed to be asking for something that wasn't in the equation.

There were also a few that weren't anything like what I've seen in study materials.

This was my second time taking it. The first time was 5 years ago, though. I feel like I did back then.

These questions are so specifically different from study problems that I feel I will never be able to pass. It just feels like a waste of time and energy to even try.

Anyone else feel like this?

So I should be getting about 4k on my tax return this year. I'm thinking of using it to pay off 1 of my 8 student loans.

I'm asking for advice because I only have 5k in emergency savings. My household is currently stable. 2nd edit: by stable, I mean if I lost my job, the bills would still be paid. I'd just be broke until I found another job.

I've been focusing on emergency savings by putting $700/mo in, and I know this tax refund would nearly double my savings, but it could also pay off 1 whole loan.

With the save plan going away, I'm seeing my payment could be over $500/mo. I don't currently have a payment, but I'm paying $350/mo. $160 of it goes straight to interest.

What do you guys think? Pay the loan off so my payment plan is less, or put it in savings?

For reference, this loan costs me $152/year in interest. In my savings account, that money would make me about $140/year.

Edit for more info: I need 24k to have 6 months of emergency funds, which will take me 3 years to get to at the current rate for savings.

I'm looking to get life insurance on my parent, and am not sure what to get. They are 60, so would term life make more sense to get since it's cheaper?

Also, does anyone know what type of cost this would be? Obviously, it varies based on health, I would think, but just a general number.

They currently have zero insurance for burial or to help pay off any debts, and it's a major concern to me, especially since we live in the same house and it's on my parent's name.

For info: We've discussed getting insurance before, but they keep dragging their feet, and I'm hoping if I have solid info, they'll do it.

I am the child in this situation (grown adult). My children and I live with my parent. I am an only child and we live in Alabama.

What should we be asking for to setup a way for me to get the house when my parent passes without all the taxes and such that cause so many to lose their homes?

And we need a lawyer to set this up, correct?

Are there any other things we need to set up as well? Like for possessions, or bank accounts, or anything? My parent has no spouse or anything, and again I am an only child.

Tyia!

Do I need this card to get cash back from using my cash rewards card? I'm a little confused and can't find straight answers online.

I ask because it called it a builder card and it has autopay? It that that it autopays the cash back i accrued to my bank account, or that I'm supposed to pay them for something?

It states" automatically pay your builder card on the 8th and 23rd of each month with reserved funds set aside with each swipe per the autopay authorization."

I just got approved for the Walmart One Plus card to use for groceries. I spend about $700/month on groceries. My credit limit is $7000. I know using more of your credit limit can hit hard on your credit score. Will spending this much every month damage my score, even temporarily? Obviously, the intent is to pay it off every month.

Is it reasonable/feasible to become a tutor with no teaching degree?

I have been told by kids that I break things down in a way that really helps them understand the material better. Im thinking of tutoring for reading/English.

I have an engineering degree, but I really enjoy reading and live in a state where reading levels are atrocious.

So would it be worthwhile to see if I could help some kids learn to read and/or become readers? I'm thinking specifically of elementary kids mostly, but potentially open to all ages.

Also, did you find it hard to get into tutoring? Are the kids generally open to the learning, or is it a real fight?

Edit: I was president of an English honor society in college and took extracurriculars in literature every chance I got. I write correct papers without rough drafts. So it's not like I couldn't do that part of it.
