Soneh:
i want to say a very big thank your to all of those gurus who helped me in solving the maths problem i pasted, i appreciate all of you with a million thanks. pls i still need you help on this other question>


1. let a function f be defined by
x² - 2x - 3

---

f(x)=
x² + 2x + 3
a. determine the domain of f(x)
b. find the range of f(x)
c. find and expression for f(3x+1)

2. show that | 1 1 1 |
................... | x y z | = (y-x)(z-x)(z-y) ( its a matrix problem)
| x² y² z² |

waiting for your help gurus...........

Check the first question well, there are 2 functions there, which of them do we go with? I guess it is the second one but quickly review it or take a snapshot of the question....waiting....

[b][size=14pt]IFEANYI MATTHEW CLEARED TO RESUME FLYING EAGLES TRAINING[/size]

https://africanfootball.com//bp_images/2015/06/Samm_27_August_3_580x473.jpg

Midfielder Ifeanyi Matthew will return to training with the Flying Eagles on Tuesday after he suffered a bad cut in his foot against Brazil and missed his team’s last two games.

“I am happy that the doctor has said I could now return to training,” a happy Matthew told AfricanFootball.com

The El Kanemi Warriors star missed the wins over North Korea and Hungary on account of the injury.

However, it is left to be seen who will now replace in the Flying Eagles starting XI particularly as the team are winning again.

He was the provider-in-chief for Taiwo Awoniyi at the African Youth Championship in Senegal and also weighed in with his own goals.

He is essentially an attacking and creative midfielder, while the team now need hard working ball winners in the middle of the park.

weldone bro and thanks so much for all the updates. I am also impressed by the fact that you took to that lil correction and has started including the sources.

Soneh:
2. Each of my 39 friends has either a dog, a cat or a rabbit. 24 of the have a dog, 17 have a cat and 16 have a rabbit. The number having both dog and cat is 1 more than the number having both cat and rabbit. There are 9 who have both dog and rabbit, while two of them have all three. How many of my friends have both rabbit and cat?

The answer is 5....see solution attached below.

daveP:
lol. Well we all know the diff between them (minus time) is just the trophies..(for another day)

luckily there's no one that the germans can say they want to manmark.(the sweetest part of it). Whereas, that their num 8 has attracted attention and we go showam.

What's his name(the no 8 guy) make I go mark am? I've not had the chance to follow up the Germans.

daveP:
hmm. Lemme use a brief from the barcelona vs juve final yesternite.

Nacho can take his messi role and leave awo(neymar) and isaac(sua) if he doesnt getto net.
We are too attack minded to dwell on a lone striker. That way a rakitic(who sef? Nwakali or is it Godwin?) can show surprise movements in the box and mind you the Germans wouldnt be able to contain it.


We would test the strength of their defence for the 1st time. While they would test the strength of our midfield after Brazil did so.

Germany-

during training-laugh, crack jokes
during match-get serious


FE-
during training- serious

during match-mean business.

well,nice analogy you've got there just that Nacho might not be mature enough to stick to that Messi role. Yesterday,Luis Enrique's tactics was spot on,he knew all eyes would be on Messi and gave him a bit of withdrawn role.

tbaba1234:
You don't make wholesale changes to a winning team. The best , you would have is one or two changes.

Hahahahaha@wholesales, he be like say you be marketer. Jokes aside, I think Manu Garba has more than one team and you will get to see the subsequent team(s) in the course of this competition. Nwakali is our veira and he is gonna play in big matches, the midfield duo of Bulbwa and Ifeanyin insn't fast enough, I wouldn't have had any problem with them if they are as quick as they should be.Whatever happens, Idowu should play o.

daveP:
he knows what to do to shock Germany. We wont only control the game, we would also score 1st and be the calmer side.


The issue i have i sthe blending formula he is goina use based on how he wants to face Germany. Awoniyi, Success and Simon should start for me. Let Ifeanyi and Bulbwa rest. Nwakali should start as well. Then Savior can come to save if there is any need for that.


But i fear one thing...... Our goalkeeper. The germans must have seen his comfy from that Brazil clip and may want to exploit that well.

Between Haruna's set and Nacho's set, Nacho's have a better midfield. Defence i cant compare, but Nacho's set responds faster than Haruna's

Yeah, Nwakali and Idowu should start so that they can hold that midfield very well defensively. Yahaya and Nacho should play too. It won't be a bad idea to have an extra player in that midfield aside these 4 and use a lone striker , Nacho can play as supporting striker right behind Awoniyi or success so he can get into scoring positions.

Two matches to watch out for.....Nig vs Ger and then Bra vs Uruguay. Uruguay is capable of sending Brazil home.

CFCfan:
Against Germany Manu has no choice but to name a midfield trio of Sokari, Idowu and Ifeanyi. The front three could be Iheanacho, Awonyi and Yahaya. Success can come off the bench in the 2nd half.

Seems like you have forgotten Nwakali on the bench. I Would take Nwakali over Ifeanyi any day any time but like the father he is, Manu is trying to market some of the players so they can get a good/better placement.

mrham03:
oga, i must congratulate on the gud job that u are doing on this thread. Ur updates and match reports have been wonderful. Kudos to u. I hope u consider a career in journalism coz u are a great reporter.

yeah, he is doing a good job just that he needs to reference Fifa's website when he brings a news from there.

The FE were totally in control. Now that Awoniyi has scored, there would be less pressure on him. The Hungarians didn't come for a win though as they were too casual. I guess they dread the Germans or maybe they do not want an Euro vs Euro clash more or less like a continental tactic. Our main test would be against the Germans.

femi9naija:
The current left back was Manu's first choice prior to the u17 world cup. I think he got injured or so, that's why Okon was brought in. I loved Okon then, in fact i tipped him for a top club after the competition but that didn't happen. On the issue of Okon being better than the current one, you don't know how his current form is

I am not saying he should be given the position if he isn't fit,just comparing their performances when they have the shirt.

safarigirl:
I like to think this is the situation. He's holding back KC, Moses and Suxes for a reason. Y'all asking why Suxes doesn't start, maybe it's cuz Manu doesn't want a repeat of the U17 occurence where the dude was ruled out of the tournament half-way into group stage. He needs his 'topflight experience' for KO stages

Exactly.

Since this competition started, I have observed a lot of things about Manu Garba and the team;
1) He has soft spot for some of those guys that initially failed the MRI scan prior to the under-17 world cup in UAE.

2) He is trying to forcefully push some players into limelight maybe to get foreign clubs at the expense of the team's overall performance. He is trying to be a good father, lol. Unfortunately, football doesn't work like that.

3) Even though we beat North Korea in our last match, the attack isn't yet convincing and our attack is too slow cos he didn't get the right mix of players in that middle. Our best midfield convo is a midfield with Yahaya on the left side, Ihenacho on the right side, Nwakali(no nonsense) and Idowu as defensive midfielders. I think Ihenacho would be best as an 8.

4) As a striker, Awoniyi lacks confidence and calmness in front of goal. He also needs to learn how to look up before taking a shot no matter how small the time interval may be. He also needs to learn how to beat his marker fast on a 1 on 1 situation. I hope he scores tomorrow.

5) Our captain is performing seriously below par,infact, he should stop taking corner kicks but Manu Garba seems to have given him a permanent shirt.


6) Our weakest link is the left back position. Okon who played that position for the under 17 team is far far better than the current guy there.


7) Our goal keeper should be changed...even though we didn't concede any goal against Korea, he was so jittery and his movements lack coordination. He might kill us at the knock out stages. A goal keeper needs to have confidence even if he isn't good and our goal keeper lacks that.


Finally, I want to believe that Manu Garba is knowingly doing all these and saving his bests for the knockout stages cos there wouldn't be chance for errors then. I think he has an ace up his sleeves. I think he has 2 teams; the first one for mild damage and the second one( which we are yet to see) for maximum assault. All the best to the team.

@goofyone, weldone bro.

thegoodjoehunt3:
You cannot blame LeeCodeMan when that guy calls Nacho hype. I mean, come on. What is the guy's reason for calling him a hype. Because, he did not do well in a game?

I am not saying he was right just asking for some civility. If he feels Nacho is a hype cos of one bad game,why not show him why he isn't? And if he doesn't agree, why not leave him.

LeeCodeman:
thegoodjoe, please don't answer. Some foolish comments don't deserve responses.

This is a football discuss and you have no right to term his comment as being fooolish, if you cannot convince him to agree with you, then swerve and not be rude. You do not have the sole right to analysis and you do not know it all. Stop being unnecessarily belligerent on a social platform.

Emdee590:
Please my ogas them, help on these
(1) find the value of x in terms of y if 1/2log x (base 2) log y^2 (base 4) = 1

(2) How many numbers greater than 4000 can be made using the digits 2,3,4,5,6 if no digit can be repeated ?

Thanks in ancipation

You omitted something in question 1. Check well and repost.

kannymoore:
It's the same thing i'm saying.

Sokari is the best central midfielder in Naija by all stats...sheilding the ball, assists and passing accuracy.

He couldn't do jack-sheit when he came on!

Did you see some of the brazilian tackles?

Some of them were so neatly done that I found myself clapping in admiration against my will.

Truth be told.. Alfa wouldn't have stood a fighting chance in today's match. wallai.

yes boss. We should have jam-packed the midfield and maybe play Nwakali too or what options were available?

kannymoore:
Alfa?

Hold the ball well against the brazilians?

Bros u sure say u watch the same game i watch so?!

You're saying that those Brazilians who were thwacking everyone in their path...including Naija players who are twice Alfa's weight...will suddenly open legs for Alfa to pass through their "Toros" shebi??!



Nna guy..



You funny o!

!!!

Lol...I am not talking about physical contacts, he shields the ball well and passes well for small combinations. Today, our midfield didn't exchange sufficient passes, Ifeanyin messed up, couldn't even string a correct pass. Our midfield was just lofting the ball.

TheGoodJoe:
You can switch tactics as much as you want. If your players do not turn up, you can lose.

Remember, Tottenham put five goals past Chelsea this season. The players did not turn up and no tactical switches would help.

I believe we will meet this Brazilian side again in this tournament and beat them. At last, it was errors from the keeper and lack of alertness of the defence that caused us the goals.

Awoniyi's misses also made us lose.

Well......hopefully. Alfa was missed in that midfield cos he holds the ball well and has at least 80% pass accuracy. The Okon of the under-17 too was far better than our left back.

Our defence line was too slow
Our goal keeper was calamitous
Our midfielders didn't string enough passes together, none of the midfielders was mobile (Yahaya even tried a bit before he was subbed).
Musa should never overlap if there is no one to cover for him.
If we have another lb, he should be used in place of Mustapha, he was beaten so easily.

Awoniyi should learn how to beat the offside trap and time his runs well, poor finishings from him as well.
Isaac succes played well but didn't get enough balls to feed him
We lost to a tactically superior side...The brazilians knew that our strength lies in fast attacks, so, they made sure we never had that and since there was no space for fast attacks, our midfield was supposed to exchange enough passes and take the ball to them but rather, we resorted into floating high balls knowing fully well that they have very tall players. Manu Garba's undoing was that he didn't have a second tactical approach incase our main tactic fails and that is why I like MOU, he could switch tactics as much as he wants. It was basically the Brazilian coach's intelligence and the lethal boots of the Brazillians that won the match.

I said it.This keeper is a fooool, spills ball unnecessarily.

toluxe0075:
Garba shouldn't even make any attempt to experiment enaholo in our 2nd match

You are right, he even spill balls even when it isn't a hot shot.

slam7000:
Its not keepers fault, our boys lose the ball so easily and they expose the keeper a lot. Brazilians are bigger, more physical and seem to push them off the ball so easily.

Mathew and Iheanacho are not doing very well today.

Yeah, they push our players off the ball. Mustapha is bad at the LB position as well.They pass through him too easily. We might conceid a set piece goal if care isn't taken.

Why is our right back always emtpty? How come the Brazilians beat our left side of the defence so easily?

Zaradeen Bello seems annoyed. I think Alampasu should be in goal in our second match , our keeper is so poor in the air, lacks a bit of confidence and poor at judging aerial balls.

He be like say the coach don tongue lash our players o. Our attack is now so aggresive but that that area has never been the problem. The coach should remove ifeanyin ifeanyin ASAP.

First half over..mbest player of the half, Success Isaac, nice ball controls, relaxed, has eye for killer passes, confident. Awoniyi needs to time his runs well, read passes better and a bit clinical. Ihenacho seems laid back a bit. Ifeanyi ifeanyi was sluggish and didn't pass well at all.I think Yahaya is better on the left side of the midfield.....our defence is so slow in closing down, Bello needs to learn how to follow the ball and not the man. Our keeper should stop panicking particularly during set pieces.The defence is poor, hiw can 2,3 players go mark one player and leave central defence empty?

linked:
And that is because Garba has chosen to tweak his formation to accommodate both success and Taiwo... . This is what I have been saying.... Dont sacrifice the midfield for attack.... Could have been worse if yahaya aas replaced with Moses

Hmmm...He should make ammendments fast. Under-20 is a different ball game o, they don't even allow our players relax on the ball but we make them do whenever they attack us.We are poor at defending corners too, they are taller and have more jump power. They have been targeting a particular tall dude. It is time we stopped conceiding corner kicks.

The Brazil team is nearly impeccable in front of goal. They capitalise on any lil chance.
