Two sinusoidal sources connected in series. Assume the frequencies are not the same. The RMS value of each source is given (10 and 15 V, but a generic response is fine). What is the RMS voltage of the two sources combined?

I'm from the US. When I speak with someone from another country, not native English speaking, I find my vocabulary becoming more limited, my speech even a bit broken, subconsciously to match who I'm talking to. Or if talking to someone from another English speaking country, I will use more of their idioms and even shift my accent a bit. Around my brother is when my own accent is most profound. People speak dumbly to babies. What's the name for this phenomenon?

or explain why non exists

I just said 0=x^2*(y_0)^2, so y(x)=0 for all x is the only constant solution?

Can someone verify?

I ask because when I go to the game library, I can select "play from hdd" and when I put the DVD in it plays automatically. Just making sure I don't need to explicitly tell it to play from the hdd.

I will graduate with a BS in CPE. Ideally, I want to work for a major chip maker doing microprocessor design. I feel like I'm going to need at least a masters degree to get such competitive jobs. I could get a MSEE(VLSI Design) from USC 100% online(the same degree you would get by being on campus) or I could get a MS CPE(they don't offer such specialized EE degrees) from my undergrad university (UAHuntsville, www.uah.edu). Obviously I would prefer to have the USC degree, but it costs 4 times as much. Is it really worth that much extra?

I am torn between these similar degrees. I want to work in chip design for computers, ideally for a large cutting edge company like intel, amd, nvidia, etc.

Here are mutually required courses that I will take either way:

CPE 112 - Introduction to Computer Programming in Engineering

CPE 212 - Fundamentals of Software Engineering

CPE 323 - Introduction to Embedded Computer Systems

EE 100 - Fundamentals of Computer, Electrical and Optical Engineering

EE 202 - Introduction to Digital Logic Design

EE 213 - Electrical Circuit Analysis I

EE 310 - Solid State Fundamentals

EE 315 - Introduction to Electronic Analysis and Design

EE 420 - Random Signals and Noise

These courses are required for CPE:

CS 214 - Introduction to Discrete Structures

CS 317 - Introduction to Design and Analysis of Algorithms

CPE 353 - Software Design and Engineering

CPE 321 - Computer Organization

CPE 422 - Advanced Logic Design

CPE 381 - Fundamentals of Signals and Systems for Computer Engineers

CPE 431 - Introduction to Computer Architecture

CPE 434 - Operating Systems

CPE 448 - Introduction to Computer Networks

And these are required for EE:

PH 113 - Physics III(wave motion, optics, relativity, quantum effects)

EE 307 - Electricity and Magnetism

EE 313 - Electrical Circuit Analysis II

EE 382 - Analytical Methods for Continuous Time Systems

EE 383 - Analytical Methods for Multivariable and Discrete Time Systems

EE 425 - Introduction to Control and Robotic Systems

EE 447 - Electromagnetic Engineering

EE allows for 5 electives while CPE only allows for 2, so If I did EE I could still take several of the extra software courses.

What do you guys think? Which degree/course work seems more appropriate for someone who wants to work with hardware, but specifically with something like microprocessors? Course descriptions can be looked up by searching the course number on this catalog: http://catalog.uah.edu/

Thanks anyone for your time

So I'm doing a project due at the end of the semester and I have an idea but I wanted to get some input on how feasible this would be given my limited skill set (I'm only in an introductory EE/circuits course and a C++ course.)

I want to make a circuit with 4 photo diodes each blocked off from a different direction. I want to write a program to read these inputs and determine which direction a light source is, and what the optimal position for a solar cell is to achieve max potential, and then move the solar cell with a couple of small motors.

Is this something a novice could figure out how to do with a PIC microcontroller? any feedback or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

I'm in an introductory engineering course and I need to find an article to review for class. As it's an introductory course, my knowledge is quite limited, so I'm looking for more general journals with something that I can understand. I'm looking for suggestions of peer reviewed journals that would have topics on electrical, computer, or optical engineering.. thanks.

Learning integration by parts, so I either need to know how to differentiate 1/e^x or integrate it, but I'm not sure how to do either.

Help please?

how would I solve this? for clarification, it's the integral of: x times the square root of (2x+1)

not looking for the answer necessarily just some help. I tried to use substitution but that didn't really work.

I believe that there may be a God, only because something must have ultimately started something(before the big bang). It may or may not have qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, I don't think it really matters though, i don't think it interferes, and I don't believe in afterlife. I know this is pretty much Deism but is there something more specific to call it? Obviously this post is vague but any suggestions is appreciated.

I would like to have a bone spoon, but I am vegan, so it would have to be human bone. How can i go about getting such a spoon or at least getting some bone to have a spoon crafted from.
