    General Thoughts: Biology

    Yes, I would think it would be the better answer, but as noted in the excel book, the time period for the rapid change is too short for any fossils to be created, hence, there won't be a complete set of fossils as according to gradualism. This, I think, is precisely the reason why punctuated...

    volumez question

    This question requires a 3 step process. 1. the line y=1 intersects y=e^x at x=0 and y^2=e^(2x) 2. The cylinder made by the volume of x=1 and y=1 is (pi) because the cylinder has radius of 1, and "height" of 1. 3. Hence, the volume is = Integrate [1,0] pi*e^(2x)dx - pi...
