I'm sorry for the trouble. I'm a friend who she came to for
help with this problem and she did not ask me to post this. I created
this forum acct under her email address which i know now is a huge
mistake for jeopardizing her "honesty" identity like this. She asked me
for help and I didn't know how to do it, so instead I took the easy
route and ask it in here forgetting that it is public. She told me that
what i was doing was wrong and that if i did not know then i shouldn't
ask the public to try and solve it. She said "i rather do this on my own
then to turn in somebody else's work. In my school this is considered
academic dishonesty, and as a senior soon to graduate, I cannot risk it.
If I do not understand it, then I will not turn it in. I'm  better off
dropping the course then to pass on an assignment that i did not write."
Those were her exact words and once she officially dropped the class on
Saturday, I knew that she was serious and refuse to get involve in what
is posted on here. I may have asked the community for help on a problem,
but she did a noble choice in refusing to use the problem and would
rather not turn the assignment. she said that she has missed 2
assignment and because of that, her only resort is to drop the class.
She said she is very devastated by this because you're her favorite
teacher, but this is the only option since she didn't do the problems.

I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused you.
