Hi Mish L.,

You've asked 7 questions, in great detail, on the same skill set, all at the same time, without evidence you've even thought about the problems? That's spamming. Doing your entire problem set for you is first, forbidden under Wyzant rules, and second, won't help you acquire the skills you need. Ask one question, digest the lesson, and do the rest yourself -- that would be appropriate.
