should LORs include the questions asked in the forms or not

Please help, my second recommendation is almost late and my recommender wants to know if she needs to include the questions asked in the recommendation form or if she can just write a letter answering the questions in some way w/o adding them in the letter.

please please please help....


if a recommender chooses to upload a letter instead of providing filling out the form, should the letter then include the questions or just the responses to the questions?

1/x + 1/y = 5
Simplify 1/x + 1/y:
1/x + 1/y = (x+y)/xy
therefore:
(x+y)/xy = 5
cross-multiply:
(x+y) = 5*xy
Given that xy = 6, substitute the value for xy:
(x+y) = 5*6 = 30
Hence:
(x+y) = 30
(x+y)^2 = (30)^2
(x+y)^2 = 900
Ans choice B

real formula for sum of terms of a geometric sequence

what really is the formula for finding the sum of terms in a geometric/arithmetic sequence. i have seen some posts that say: sum of terms = a(1-r^n)/(1-r) (where a is first term, r is ratio and n is # of terms) and others that say: sum of terms = a(1-r^n)(1-r) (where a is first term, r is ratio and ...

i remember seeing a response for this question from one of the experts and i think it was Mitch Hunt. Anyway, here is the approach given: if you notice the table shows a multiplication table, i.e row 1 * column 1 therefore sum = (sum of numbers in row 1) * (sum of numbers in col 1) sum = (1+2+3+4+5+...

someone please tell me this is a 700-800 level question! how is this to be done in less than 2 mins?? Good explanation though..i was able to work it to this point: 4(1+2x+2*root(2x)) but didn't think to re-substitute from eqn 1. Thanks a bunch! Root(3-x)=1-root(2x) 3-x=(1-root(2x))^2 3-x=2x+1-2*root...

hi Mankey, this is how i understand the first response to the post - from the table: m = 4 + z n = e + y therefore m + n = (4 + z) + (e + y) since the operation is addition, re-arranging the terms will not affect the sum. so, you can re-arrange the terms as shown below to allow you to substitute the...
