Chegg "experts" have given me wrong answers 4 times in a row on this, so please if you do not know how to answer this do not attempt to. I don't mean to be rude, but it is getting very frustrating. I want to learn how to do this problem, it is the only one I have left. The same 2 Chegg “experts” keeps answering the question and the answers are wrong that they are providing. If you are that person please don't answer this question that I post and allow someone else to answer it that knows how to solve it correctly.
