Add commas where necessary. Write C in the blank if the sentence is correct as written. _____ Tom, you'll find the plates and bowls in the cupboard over the sink.

An infinitely long bar of square cross-section has faces x = 0, x = a, y = 0, y = a. The bar is made of heat-conducting material, and under steady-state conditions the temperature T satisfies the Laplace equation $\frac{\partial^{2} T}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2} T}{\partial y^{2}}=0$ All the faces except y = 0 are kept at zero temperature, while the temperature in the face y = 0 is given by T(x, 0) = x(a − x). Show that the temperature distribution in the bar is $\frac{8 a^{2}}{\pi^{3}} \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \frac{\sin [(2 r+1) \pi x / a] \sinh [(2 r+1) \pi(a-y) / a]}{(2 r+1)^{3} \sinh (2 r+1) \pi}$

The objective of this exercise is to practise the use of the Spanish prepositions a and de followed by a definite article.

Said prepositions have opposite values: de introduces the value of a genitive, saying from, whilst a bears the value of a dative, meaning to.

When followed by the masculine definite article in singular, the two elements will contract as is shown below:

a + el = al; de + el = del.

Example: Salgo del barrio y voy al supermercado.

These are the only cases of contraction in Spanish. There are exceptions, though. When the masculine definite article in singular forms part of a personal name, then it will not contract with the preposition.

Example: Soy de El Salvador. Voy a El Salvador.
