2) A drug lord wishes to optimize the area in which he will grow his coca plants. The area concerned has a river on one side and must be closed in with fencing on the other three sides. He has 500ft of fencing. Determine the dimensions of the field that will maximize the area. Show that this is indeed a maximum.


3) The drug lord is now in jail. He requests that there be a window with a semicircular top in his cell that lets in the most amount of light possible. If there are 20m of framing material available, what are the dimensions of the window? Again, show that this is indeed a maximum.

Elliot is enjoying watching his son grow up. He realizes that his son currently has no conception of sex or gender--his own or anyone else's. But as soon as his mind has matured to the point he can recognize constant patterns of male-ness and female-ness, he will develop his gender identity. Which theory in your text best applies to this example of stages? Group of answer choices: social learning theory cognitive development theory gender-role transcendence theory psychosexual theory

A meteorologist was interested in the average speed of a thunderstorm in his area. He sampled 13 thunderstorms and found that the average speed at which they traveled across the area was 15 miles per hour with a sample standard deviation of 1.7 miles per hour. Assuming the speed of a thunderstorm is approximately normal, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true average speed of a thunderstorm in his area. Question How would I enter this into a TI84...
