Michelangelo’s Pieta differed largely from other portrayals of this scene, having created the facial expressions and bodily…

2.0 STAGES OF SLEEP 2.1 Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) Sleep Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep can be characterized into three distinct stages, previously classified into four stages. NREM sleep can be differentiated from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep due to its lack of muscle paralysis and bursts of eye movement typically observed in REM sleep3. Additionally, NREM sleep demonstrates characteristic waves and spindles captured on electroencephalogram (EEG) readings that differ significantly…

Hipparchus was an original mathematical genius; his distinctive, discoveries were pertinent in early history of science and math. Greek astronomer Hipparchus discovered trigonometry which derives from the Greek words trigonon “triangle” and metron “to measure”. Even though there were signs that the Egyptians used different ratio signs there was never proof they thought in terms of angles. Hipparchus spent a lifetime observing astronomy, which led to most of his discoveries. In order to make the…

By relationships we mean interactions with people, most importantly: parents, friends, teachers and the community. The main idea promoted by the triangle of well-being is that the three…

of that kick you first have to find what the height was at 1 second. Let “x” represent the elapsed time in seconds. Let “y” represent the height in meters. The equation is “y= a(x-h)²+ k”. The maximum height is 20m at the time of 2 seconds, so the vertex is (2,20). To determine the value of “a”, substitute the coordinates of the point that corresponds to the ball hitting the ground, (4,0). The solving for “a” equation is “f(x) = a(4-2)² =20”. The equation is “a=-5”. The quadratic function that…
