Is it possible to visit two universities in one day: Stanford and Berkeley?
My dad is a speed devil, he thinks we can enjoy and look into both universities in one day, i'd like to visit the Botanical Gardens and **** though.
Berkeley tour- 10:00 A.M.
Stanford tour- 3:15 P.M.
can we pull it off and still enjoy the schools?
Is it possible to visit two universities in one day: Stanford and Berkeley?
Whew. Yes, you could look at them in that amount of time. Just a look.
It'll take over an hour to get to Stanford from Berkeley. Factor in traffic, parking and walk times.
I'd say that's a no on botanical gardens.
Reply:Without knowing how long your planned tours will last, it is difficult to give specific advice. University gardens and museums typically close at around 5 PM. So, you might not get to see much of Stanford if you're arriving late in the afternoon.
If you're driving, you'll have to leave Berkeley at 2 PM at the latest (and pray for good traffic on the 101).
Allow some extra time to find parking.
------
Public transportation will take even longer. You want to leave Berkeley no later than 1:15 PM. And by "leave," I mean you should be on the train at that time.
It'll take 57 minutes on BART to get from Berkeley to Millbrae. And then you'll transfer to Caltrain for an additional 30 minutes to Palo Alto (Stanford). Factoring in the time spent on transfers, it should take a little under two hours.

Reply:Tell the speed demon to take Hwy 280 to Stanford. 101 is a parking lot.
Reply:Probably, you could spend days at each though just to let you know, and they're only about 30 miles apart. (Personally, I prefer the Tree at Stanford.)
Reply:there will be traffic crossing the bridge so you, you probably won't make it.

Locations for a surprise picnic in Atlanta?
I am looking for a fun place to have a picnic dinner in Atlanta in February. I think it will be a bit cold to be outside so I'd like to find some place warmer! I've thought of my living room floor or the botanical gardens (closed at night though) but am hoping to get more ideas! Are they any other places you can think of? Please help! Thanks!
Locations for a surprise picnic in Atlanta?
I would say stone mountian is a good place but it is outside. ZOO ATL might be another good place
Reply:you could always go to piedmont park. check the weather before you go! :) have fun!
Reply:centennial olympic park... theres a covered picnic table area..and if it gets too chilly you can just walk inside CNN center, theres a nice food court area with cute little Atlanta souvenir shops. Or buy tickets to the coca cola factory or aquarium and roam around in there, very nice places.
Reply:How about one of the many golf course club houses that you might rent. Most of the private associations would be interested in renting the space especially in February.
Reply:callaway gardens might have something...but most of their stuff is outside i think

How long does a visit to the new york botantical gardens in the Bronx usually take, like how many hours?
Also, is it something really nice and worthwhile to spend the day doing?

Depending on when you go, the Botanical Gardens is a good place to spend a few hours. And right next to it is the Bronx Zoo, so you can visit that also.
Reply:The good botanical gardens are in Brooklyn. Prospect Park. Its definately worth spending the day.
Reply:It will take all day

Why does the smell of my navel keep me awake at night ?
my navel smells like a 10 day old opened can of tuna in a hot car. how can i keep this clean and smelling like botanical gardens ?
when i was at a 4th of july cookout i had attracted a swarm of nats and tons of fruit flies....is this normal ?
Why does the smell of my navel keep me awake at night ?
You should wash it.
Reply:I have no idea, but stick to something else besides comedy. You're about as funny as loose bowels in white pants
Reply:How do you know what a 10 day old opened can of tuna in a hot car smells like?
Reply:It's not the smell it's the fact that you are bent into a pretzel if your nose is in your belly button. Try laying down flat on your back.
Reply:swab it clean with cotton and a litle alchohol and wash it well. then sprinkle on some talc. itll b fine.
Reply:Aren't you amazed by how gullible these a**holes are?
They actually "believe" you.
Reply:It could have an infection in it. Give it a good thorough clean.
Have you had your belly/navel pierced? If so, yes it is infected.
Either way give it a good clean - very salty very warm water is perfect for cleaning and disinfecting. Do this a few times a day for up to a week. If it doesn't clear you could be very sick by this stage anyway - and go see a doctor.
Reply:Wash it good with SOAP - Dry it off
Cleanse it with Alcholol - Dry it off
If the smell gets to you. COVER IT UP WITH A BANDAID OR 2!
Reply:Um....washing it?
Reply:Eeewwwwww !!!!!!
You live in the south or something !
Reply:Uhh....use a cotton swab and some cool astringent after you bathe. Bathe daily.

How can i convince my parents to allow me to attend a book launch party?
- my parents aren't allowing me to go because they think I WILL GET LOST because it will be TOO CROWDED.
- it is the Harry Potter 7 book launch party at the VanDusen Botanical Garden, which is huge.
- i'm going to be in GRADE NINE by september.
- i'm going to be going with my one of my friends AND her mother.
- her mother will be driving us there, and accompaning us
- my parents trust her parents.
- it will be from 11 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.
- going to this book launch party IS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT, and i don't think it's fair if i'm not allowed to receive my own gift.
How can i convince my parents to allow me to attend a book launch party?
Your parents should let you go ... you'll be with friend, and have a good chaperone, and since it's on your birthday, and you are getting the book as your 'gift' I think it would be a 'truly wonderful memory' ... and you may SHOW this to your parents if you want to.
Reply:so if your parents trust your friends mom, whats the problem.
Reply:Have her mother talk to your parents and ask permission to bring you.
Reply:Ask your mother to come along, too...then she will have no reason to worry
Reply:you need to show them you're a responsible young adult if you want them to stop treating you like a big baby. do your chores, get good grades, and maybe have your parents talk to you friend's mom so they feel more self assured.
Reply:If your parents trust her parents and her mom will be with you guys the whole time, then I don't see what the problem is. Talk to them and tell them they can call your friend's mom to talk to her about it and make sure you'll be safe. Also mention how much it would mean to you as a birthday present.
Reply:I know you don't want to hear this but your parents only worry about you because they love you. No it is not always fair, but I promise you in a month you will not even care about this anymore. The only thing you can do is possibly talk to your parents in a calm mature fashion and explain to them that you will be supervised. Maybe even ask them to join you, maybe that would make them feel better about it. If you are still not allowed to go just remember it can always be worse no matter how sucky it seems right now.

I need a list of things to do in New York?
If you like Italian, you have to go to Sardi's (http://www.sardis.com) - I had the best salmon ever. They've got signed caricatures of celebrities on the walls, and you have a good chance of seeing a one, too. But the food is the reason to go for me. As I recall, we walked in after the theater crowd hit the shows, but you may want to call for a reservation.

Reply:...A list ? I don't have enough time and paper to make you a list... get a copy of the Sunday NY Times and let your "eyes" do the feasting... There's more to do in NYC then you'll ever have time to do... NY, NY the City so nice, they named it twice...and it's open all night long ! (be sure to go up in the Empire State building...have a "look" around)
Reply:I live right near nyc its a great place to go. One place you would probably love would be Broadway, prices range from what seats you want. you can find that out the prices on ticket websites. All of the broadway shows are fantastic! you will never be disappointed there! If you are a chocolate addict like most people, m%26amp;m world and Hersheys is a great place to visit. If you like historical things you can see the library and the museum of natural history. Great places to visit also include little Italy and china town. Almost all food in NYC is great. If you like to try new things, and are a daredevil, you might want to try dirty water dogs. It sounds gross but its so good!! Really. Make sure to wear sneakers, cause your going to do alot of walking! Enjoy the trip and i hope you like my suggestions! : )

if you have more time, try walking the stretch of Brooklyn Bridge.

then, we went to MET (entrance is by donation only, you don't have to give 20 USD)
if you're a techie like my friends, you may want to visit the MAC store. it is now a tourist spot because of its unique architecture :p

How close is Phoenix Municipal Stadium to Zoo?
I have several maps, but it is difficult to tell %26amp; the maps don't seem to be to scale. Is it walking distance? On one map it shows the Phoenix zoo, a park %26amp; botanical gardens all across the street from the Phoenix Municipal stadium...is this accurate? Thanks!
How close is Phoenix Municipal Stadium to Zoo?
yes, they are across the street from each other. Definately within walking distance. So the stadium is directly on the corner and the zoo is on the other side of the street, but is set back from the street, so it's a little deceiving when you look at a map.
Reply:1/2 mile at the most maybe less.
Reply:From Van Buren to Galvin Pkwy. (stadium to zoo) is only about 1/4 mile. Walking distance. They're just around the corner from one another.

21st Birthday party ideas - looking for something a little different?
I'm turning 21 in the middle of July this year. I want to do something a little different and already we've changed the venue 3 times. I was going to have something formal, at a restaurant but now we're going for an outdoors venue, about middle of the day.
We're thinking botanical gardens or a rainforest (I'm in Sydney, Australia).The problem is, I'm not sure what kind of games or whatever we can do at the party. Any one have any ideas or suggestions?
Also, since its outside, do you think it would be a good idea to have a theme or not?
21st Birthday party ideas - looking for something a little different?
Themes are good. If you were in NYC I'd say go have your party @ the 21 Club !!! But since you're down-under you'll have to improvise. Pull up the club on the net, might give you some ideas. Have you ever heard of the game: TWISTER -- it's lots of fun outdoors. Look up party organizers on the net. There are some good ones here in USA %26amp; you could e-mail them, tell them you're in Australia %26amp; in need of some ideas. I'm sure 1 or 2 would be glad to give you some ideas!!! Happy Birthday (my 21st was real bad as I was in bed for weeks with a uterine hemorrhage and almost died!) Best Wishes -- I wish I could come ! I've been to N.Z. twice, I so wanted to visit A. !!! But my friend never got around to taking me over there! P.S. -- I found the following on the net under: PARTY THEMES !!! Hope this helps! Barbie SW FLA !

Party Themes
Theme parties are fun! For many parties and special events, the fun, camaraderie--and most memorable moments--revolve around your theme party idea. An offbeat idea -- or the usual -- can create tons of fun ideas if you spend a little time preparing. These theme party ideas are tried and true. They are guaranteed to succeed. They are mistake-proof...I promise. Don't forget that little things mean a lot. So just don't just serve up chili peppers at your next "fiesta" and expect your guests to pull out a sombrero and start doing a Mexican hat dance. It's up to you to create the atmosphere...and if you need some help, Ask the Party Girl, and I'll be happy to help (even if I'm not invited!)...The Party Girl

What should my husband wear to an outdoor wedding this month?
The wedding is this month at a botanical garden late afternoon? We are invited to a wedding but should he wear a suit? should it be a dark suit with a white shirt and tie? We have never been to an outdoor wedding before. thanks.
What should my husband wear to an outdoor wedding this month?
A suit or a sport coat and khakis would be fine with a tie. He can lose the tie if it's not formal. I'd suggest lightweight, it can get pretty hot outside.
Reply:A late afternoon wedding would probably make it on the formal side, but the garden setting would make the occasion more casual than say a church or cathedral.
Since garden weddings evoke images of Spring time and pleasant weather, I think khakis and a dress shirt and tie would be just fine. The dark suit may be a bit "heavy" in look (and feel) for the occasion.
If there's a reception at a very formal place, such as a country club, he might want to wear a sports coat.
But I don't think formal dress is required for either of you. If I were attending such a wedding, I would wear a nice "church" type dress - not a long gown or a cocktail dress.
I'm sure the wedding will be lovely, and I hope you both enjoy the event.
Reply:If he feels more comfortable in a suit, that is fine - just make sure it is a light color. Dark suits absorb sun and heat and will be very uncomfortable if you are not sitting under a tent. A jacket isn't necessary either, but a tie should be worn. Beach weddings are one of the only occasions that do not require a tie.
Reply:A summerweight suit would be best - whatever colour he has.
Reply:u should ask all the men that r going %26amp; c wat color suit they r going 2 were. if they didn't decide, do a white suit. (black attracts more light making the person hot)
Reply:It might be hot, so I'd wear a nice clean pair of slacks, (not blue jeans), and a soft color shirt. Black leather shoes always look nice, whether for a wedding or a funeral, so go with some black leather shoes. Wear a blue or black tie, and if no one else is wearing a tie, you can always slip it off real quick.
I'd dress for the weather. I hope the weather is Ok for the wedding.
Reply:Board shorts and nipple rings.
Reply:The invitation should give you some pointers as to the formality of the event. If it's very traditional and engraved, he should wear a suit and tie as that indicates the wedding party will be formally attired. On the other hand, if the invitation is less formal, he'll be find if he wears a nice shirt and slacks, with or without a tie or sport jacket.
Most of the time, though, an outdoor wedding is slightly less formal than one held in a church or hotel. If he's clean and neatly groomed, that should really be enough. If he chooses to wear a suit to an outdoor even at this time of year, it can be a lighter color, but if he already has a dark suit it would certainly be fine.
If you're really unsure, feel free to contact someone in the bridal party or one of the families to find out how formal a shindig this is.
Reply:I would say to wear a suit with a solid color dress shirt and tie, it doesn't HAVE to be white, but certainly something along those lines.
Reply:I think you should have him in a lightweight suit (for his comfort). I would pick something with a color either a tan or if he only owns darker suits I would pick something that has a little color like a bottle green or at the very least a navy. Black suits are really for winter and he is going to be uncomfortable in one outside. I wouldn't do white...tis a little too Miami vice.
You can pair it with either a white shirt or a lightly colored shirt and have him choose a medium to light colored tie.
When he gets to the wedding if he see other men in khakis and polos he can leave the jacket and the tie in the car and will fit either way.
Reply:Light colored summer suit, gray or any other summer weight would be fine. Sounds very pretty.
Reply:Go with a standard dark suit. Maybe a colorful shirt and coordinating tie to lighten things up. (i like light green on guys) If it turns out he is very over dressed he can always take the jacket or the tie off. But most likely he'll be fine in this as the bridal party outside or not will probably be wearing tuxedos.
Reply:Tradition goes: when in mother nature, wear what mother nature gives us. To answer your question, honestly, A LEAF!
That will just about do it!

What things in Sydney are well worth seeing?
I am already going to the zoo, the beaches, botanical gardens. the opera house, the rocks, the quay, the aquaruim and the bridge.
I an not into extreme sports, heights, or mountain treks. I have already done some boating and cayaking this week and want to keep dry.
Also I am going to see other parts of Australia but have them fully planned out (except for the week in Cairns which I want to play by ear so to speak). So I want only things in or very near Sydney. I am staying in Kingscross area so anything great nearby will be great.
I am planning to visit a club one night but I would like to know the best ones. I also would like some good places to eat and some good bars. I have been told the Oxford Tavern is a lot of fun - which other places are fun to have a night out in.
Are there any good live music venues (folk, rock, jazz, blues and reggae are all good for my taste) and good places to shop (not expensive labels but nice goods at moderate prices)?
What things in Sydney are well worth seeing?
I am not sure if this is still going on , because I was there 7 months ago..so it's a long shot...but I saw Russell Crowe and his band The Ordinary Fear of God play in a small venue in Sydney, was about $20 so really good value, was a great night out!
Also food places, there is an all you can eat vegetarian restaurant - gavinias or something...after your feed you get a free movie in their very comfy cinema...loads of cusions to lounge around on.....
...go to Taronga Park zoo they do a dusk walk and BBQ..weather dependant.....
Hope you have fun...
when in Cairns, i recommend a visit to the Tjabuki (sp!) centre...AMAZING! and go to WildWorld not the Croc farm! :)
Reply:Sydney...
World Bar in Kings X is a good night, if your on hols and want some fun, Sidebar (under wake up hostel) is a laugh.
If you go across the Pyrmont bridge from darling harbour (on foot or monorail), the pyrmont bridge hotel is a good pub, walk further round to the casino which is huge and fun. Just by the casino is the Fish market - excellent in the moring, some GREAT cheap food!
Manly beach is probably the best beach in sydney, walk round the corner towards shelley beach and snorkel on the aquatic reserve, then have a barbie and box of goon on shelley!
Live music is frequent in most bars/pubs try the three wise monkeys on george st and scruffy murphy's just off george st. World bar (kings x) also has live music!
Deffo do fraser island and whitsundays in queensland! Gilligans is a good night in cairns!
"too easy, mate"
Reply:I'm not really up to date on what's hot in Sydney at the moment, but when you go to Cairns do try and take a seaplane trip if you can. It's just amazing to land on a deserted sand island and see nothing but ocean all around you. Here's a panorama fro a recent trip: http://www.360travelguide.com/idisp.asp?...
Reply:I thin opera house,darling harbour, there u can find so many discos and pubs.Opera house is also wothy one.
Reply:When I was in Sydney at Christmas we ate one night in the Bayswater Brasserie in Kings Cross - it was fantastic.
Why don't you head into the Blue mountains for the day? Or take the ferry to Manly - its lovely, and have a potter around North Sydney.
Or take a trip - about an hour and a half / 2 hours drive away is Jevis Bay - the beaches have the whitest sand in the world - it squeaks underfoot. Or maybe just head to Woollongong and have a look around.
There's loads of stuff to do!
Reply:There are lots of things to do in Sydney! Go to Darling Harbour the night life is great. It's worth seeing Harbout bridge at night, my husband and I were there in January and the bridge had heart in the middle with lit up! (The heart of city!) The opera house is amazing and deffinately worth the tour! If you can go to Blue Mountains and Koala park where you can pet koala's, wombats and kangaroos. Go with a firm called APT. Australian Pacific Touring. Really worth it spectalua views really breath taking! Enjoy yourself and don't forget to get a visa before you enter Australia and don't take any food with you on the plane because you are not allowed to take any type of food into Australia! Have Fun!
I an not into extreme sports, heights, or mountain treks. I have already done some boating and cayaking this week and want to keep dry.
Also I am going to see other parts of Australia but have them fully planned out (except for the week in Cairns which I want to play by ear so to speak). So I want only things in or very near Sydney. I am staying in Kingscross area so anything great nearby will be great.
I am planning to visit a club one night but I would like to know the best ones. I also would like some good places to eat and some good bars. I have been told the Oxford Tavern is a lot of fun - which other places are fun to have a night out in.
Are there any good live music venues (folk, rock, jazz, blues and reggae are all good for my taste) and good places to shop (not expensive labels but nice goods at moderate prices)?
What things in Sydney are well worth seeing?
I am not sure if this is still going on , because I was there 7 months ago..so it's a long shot...but I saw Russell Crowe and his band The Ordinary Fear of God play in a small venue in Sydney, was about $20 so really good value, was a great night out!
Also food places, there is an all you can eat vegetarian restaurant - gavinias or something...after your feed you get a free movie in their very comfy cinema...loads of cusions to lounge around on.....
...go to Taronga Park zoo they do a dusk walk and BBQ..weather dependant.....
Hope you have fun...
when in Cairns, i recommend a visit to the Tjabuki (sp!) centre...AMAZING! and go to WildWorld not the Croc farm! :)
Reply:Sydney...
World Bar in Kings X is a good night, if your on hols and want some fun, Sidebar (under wake up hostel) is a laugh.
If you go across the Pyrmont bridge from darling harbour (on foot or monorail), the pyrmont bridge hotel is a good pub, walk further round to the casino which is huge and fun. Just by the casino is the Fish market - excellent in the moring, some GREAT cheap food!
Manly beach is probably the best beach in sydney, walk round the corner towards shelley beach and snorkel on the aquatic reserve, then have a barbie and box of goon on shelley!
Live music is frequent in most bars/pubs try the three wise monkeys on george st and scruffy murphy's just off george st. World bar (kings x) also has live music!
Deffo do fraser island and whitsundays in queensland! Gilligans is a good night in cairns!
"too easy, mate"
Reply:I'm not really up to date on what's hot in Sydney at the moment, but when you go to Cairns do try and take a seaplane trip if you can. It's just amazing to land on a deserted sand island and see nothing but ocean all around you. Here's a panorama fro a recent trip: http://www.360travelguide.com/idisp.asp?...
Reply:I thin opera house,darling harbour, there u can find so many discos and pubs.Opera house is also wothy one.
Reply:When I was in Sydney at Christmas we ate one night in the Bayswater Brasserie in Kings Cross - it was fantastic.

Why do scientists get paid so little?
I found these jobs advertised in the New Scientist and wondered why the pay was so little.
Royal Botanical garden Kew. Quality Assurance Officer. £21000 pa.
Medical Research Council. Quality manager. £25000 pa.
Cefas( dept of enviroment) Marine environment officer.£19000 pa.
City and Islington college. Lecturer in applied science. £25000 pa.
So what's your take on these kind of salaries?
Why do scientists get paid so little?
I guess it's because all they do is research but if they found a cure, than they would get paid ALOT!
They aren't treating anyone; yeah they may have the title of doctor but they are just researchers.
I wonder the same thing about teachers! Because, there wouldn't be any of todays professions, without having someone teach you on how to become a doctor, lawyer, nurse, etc...
Reply:25000 British Pounds converts to $48,666 USD. A lecturer at a 2 year college with just a master's degree would probably make about that where I live. I wonder what education this job requires. I have been to the UK and the cost of living is higher there than where I live in the US, so it would make sense that the jobs pay more.
The cost of living goes up, but salaries don't go up enough to make up the difference unfortunately.
Reply:The more the responsibility, the better the pay...
Reply:Because they are generally working off of grants and donations and the real money needs to go towards the equipment and support of the research.
Reply:Lack of funding, I'm doing a biology degree and doing an industrial year next year but am working full time all year unpaid because of the same problem. Good job I love it :-)
Reply:starting salary mate, it will go up. Also not everyone is worth megabucks
market forces get us all in the end
Reply:Are you any good at football?
Reply:depends what company you get in

Is this fictional garden realistic?
The two women spent the day at Mrs. Oliver’s house, canning blackberry jam and baking torts to freeze for later. Every hour, the bell on the Chapel by the Sea would strike and Mrs. Oliver would compare it against the clock on her mantle. Between the bustle in the kitchen, they found time to play cards out on the patio.
Mrs. Oliver had created a botanical garden in her backyard, modeling it after the house on Mt. Jötnar. She had an elaborate fountain in the center with little cherub statues atop. Almost everyone who saw it commented on the grandeur and how color coordinated her yard seemed. She had separated the warm colors, placing all the bright splashes of purple, plum and pale violet in one corner. The rich burgundy smoke tree was surrounded in royal irises with long healthy blooms. Russian sage and Spanish lavender lay peacefully around the edges with blue-green, silver, and chartreuse foliage. To the other side, the warmth intensified with fiery shades of dahlia, coleus, and sedum. The crimson blooms were surrounded in red fountain grass. High up in an old elm that shaded the yard she had several bird feeders and a curious squirrel who always seemed to appear when guests were near. Today, he’d dropped a walnut and was scurrying down to retrieve it.
While they played cards, they conversed with ease. They spoke of Ilsa’s new employers mostly.
“She’s a bit younger than he is,” Ilsa said. “But they seem very happy together.”
Is this fictional garden realistic?
It sounds lovely. Just one bit though...The garden of the "cool" plants was so in-depth with so many beautiful varities. I could picture them all in my minds eye. However, there are only dahlias, coleus, sedum and red fountain grass on the "warm" side?
There are so many warm colored plants. I was surprised not to read of a beautiful deep red rose bush, geraniums, red gerbera daisies, a beautiful hibiscus etc. Still it sounds like a very lovely garden. I prefer splashes of color here and there. Something a little less formal, where I could plop down barefoot with a glass of ice tea :)

Botanical workers?
How or where can i find out how many people in the UK work for botanical gardens?

Has anyone had (or know anyone who has had) a wedding in the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth?
If so, was it a good place to have a wedding? Were they accommodating?? Please let me know any information about it, and don't give me the link to the gardens, I've already been there.
Thanks!
Has anyone had (or know anyone who has had) a wedding in the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth?
My wife has coordinated a wedding in the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth - more specifically in the Japanese garden there. She can answer any questions you may have. Go to www.ashleysevents.com to email her.
Reply:I don't know of anyone who has but what a terrific idea for a wedding. The smell and sight of all the flowers would be heaven.

Rectangular Garden Math Problem?
A landscape architect plans to enclose a 3900 square foot rectangular region in a botanical garden. She will use shrubs costing 21 dollars per foot along three sides and fencing costing 10 dollars per foot along the fourth side. The goal is to find the minimum total cost.
a. First express the cost c(x) in terms of x, the length of the side with fencing.
b. Next give the minimum value of the cost function c(x):
For a, i got C= 10x+21y^3 but i don't know how to put it in terms of x. I know that for b you just take the derivative and find the minimum but i'm having trouble getting part a.
Rectangular Garden Math Problem?
okay
x is the side with the fencing
it's a rectangle.
one of the other sides is also x
the area is 3900
so the other two sides are 3900/x
so, the real equation is
c(x) = 10x + 21(x + 2(3900/x))
taking the derivative d(function), we get:
c'(x) = d(10x) + d(21x) + d(42(3900/x))
c'(x) = 10 + 21 + (42*3900)x^-2
Set this to zero and solve for x.
Hope that helps.
