1. What are the least, and most, amount of distinct zeroes of a 7th degree polynomial, given that at least one root is a complex number? Answer: If the equation is 7th degree then it has 7 roots. Those roots can be complex or real. Complex roots always come in pairs, so if it has one, then it has 2, the other one being the conjugate of the first one. This in other words, if one complex root is a + bi, then the other complex root is a – bi. If at least one root were complex, then we would have a…

RAID level 5 works with any number of disk equal or greater than 3 and places a parity sum on one disks in the set to be able to recover from a disk failure. (Striped blocks with distributed parity.) The parity calculations are done in a RAID 5 set using XOR. We assume a small RAID 5 set of four disks and some data is written to it. On the first three disks we have the binary information 1010, 1100 and 0011, here representing some data, and now calculate the parity information for the…

Conclusion The hypothesis stated that, “If the amount of water a seed receives is increased, then the amount of seeds that sprout will increase because seeds need water to germinate.” The hypothesis was supported however it is also refuted because, the amount of seeds that germinated declined in numbers at 100 drops/hour. Whereas before it increased for 0 to 71 from 0 drops to 75 drops/hour.The refined hypothesis states that if the amount of water a seed receives increases, then the amount of…

What drives me? What made me choose my major? What motivates me to excel in my classes? Where does this energy and drive come from? Are my drives different from others? Psychologists answer these questions by looking at the concept of motivation, “the factors that direct and energize the behavior of humans and other organisms” (Feldman, 2015, p. 287). Chapter 8 of Essentials of Understanding Psychology and the McGraw-Hill online lab focused on many topics, such as the major approaches to…

The purpose of this study is to measure the differences between age in relation to risk-taking/impulsiveness and reaction time. The reason being, we are interested in figuring out whether or not younger adults are more prone to risk-taking and impulsiveness than the older adults are. Risk taking is an important form of human behavior that has been the subject of numerous investigations, scholarly analyses, and policy debates (Byrnes, 1998; Slovic, Lichtenstein, & Fischhoff, 1998). Risk-taking…

the sailor with the most or least points, depending on the scoring methods, after all events have taken place. Each sailor in this study has a mean performance score, between 10 and 100, denoted as μ from now on. Each sailor also has a different standard deviation, a measure of consistency between 0 and 18, denoted by σ from now on. I will call the scoring methods as followed: Method 1 - Calculating the sum of the sailors finishing positions in an event with the lowest score being best. Method…
