Q
Probably the best-known economic catastrophe in the last century, the Great Depression, was a lengthy period of economic decline that followed in the wake of the stock market crash of 1929. This depression was felt worldwide as international trade collapsed and deflation soared. It took 25 years for the stock market to recover. Later in 1989, America's savings and loan institutions, originally created to provide mortgage loans to potential homeowners, began to fail after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Because S\&LS had to pay more interest on deposits than their return on the fixed-rate, lower-interest loans they held, substantial losses for the S\&Ls occurred, making repayment difficult for businesses. After this, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act was created in order to rescue the savings and loan industry. Billions of dollars were provided in 1989 , which amounted to one of the most expensive government bailouts in history. Since then, other bailouts have helped businesses and individuals recover their losses. After the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, multi-trillion dollar bailouts helped keep the world's economy stable.Question 1/3What is the main point made in this text?Governments have...always rescued failing industries, companies and individuals.always rescued failing individuals who default rather than companies.never defaulted on loans but will rescue failing businesses and individuals.always bailed out failing industries, but not those individuals who default.
Q
lot of people prefer to work in companies with less than fifty employees. These companies are classified as "small businesses" not only because they have fewer employees, but because they earn relatively small annual revenues. Other considerations used to describe small businesses include logistical methods, sales figures and gross or net revenues. People who run small businesses, such as bakers, shopkeepers, hair stylists or suppliers selling tools and electrical equipment are often sole proprietors. These business owners run retail operations or offer services, such as web design or print or photography studios. Professional practices, including those run by doctors, lawyers or accountants, may also qualify as small businesses. Small businesses vary a great deal in terms of size, revenues, and regulatory authorization. For example, running a home accounting business may only require a business license. Other small businesses, such as day care facilities or restaurants serving alcohol, may be more heavily regulated or require governmental inspections and certifications. After spending time working for a large corporation, some people may find starting one's own small business a viable option.Question 3/3According to the text, what is true about small businesses?Most small businesses...are limited to those run by sole proprietors who work alone.are limited to service industries that cater to the local community.exist in a wide range of sizes, earnings and regulatory obligations.can earn much more than any large corporation employing hundreds.

Prove that every odd natural number is of one of the forms $4 n+1$ or $4 n+3$, where $n$ is an integer.5. Prove that for any integer $n$, at least one of the integers $n, n+2, n+4$ is divisible by 3 .6.

Prove that the only prime triple (i.e. three primes, each 2 from the next) is $3,5,7$.7. Prove that for any natural number $n$,\[2+2^{2}+2^{3}+ +2^{n}=2^{n+1}-2\]8. Prove (from the definition of a limit of a sequence) that if the sequence $ ft\{a_{n} \}_{n=1}^{ }$ tends to limit $L$ as $n arrow $, then for any fixed number $M>0$, the sequence $ ft\{M a_{n} \}_{n=1}^{ }$ tends to the limit $M L$.9. Given an infinite collection $A_{n}, n=1,2, $ of intervals of the real line, their intersection is defined to be\[\bigcap_{n=1}^{ } A_{n}= ft\{x ( n) ft(x A_{n} ) \}\]Give an example of a family of intervals $A_{n}, n=1,2, $, such that $A_{n+1} A_{n}$ for all $n$ and $\bigcap_{n=1}^{ } A_{n}= $. Prove that your example has the stated property.10.

The Whoville ministry of prisons is testing a new program to reduce the Whoville recidivism rate — this is the percentage of Whos who return to prison within two years of their release.The program is voluntary and available to Who-prisoners during their last 3 months of incarceration. It includes a strict regimen of daily exercise, a diet limited to bland oatmeal and green olives, and repeated lectures on the benefits of red marbles (with weekly quizzes). Five years into the program, the ministry releases some preliminary data on the program:The recidivism rate for Who-prisoners who compete the program is 17%.The recidivism rate for all other Who-prisoners is 35%.(a) This is an example of . . .

Listening Activity No. 1In Britain, when giving or asking for telephone numbers, we don't say thousand, hundred or million, we say each number separately. So 4216759 is fourtwo-one, six-seven-five-nine. The ' 0 ' is pronounced ' $ {Oh}$ '. 0814360872 is oheight-one, four-three-six, oh-eight-seven-two. These numbers are in groups. The groups are codes for areas in Britain. When we say the numbers, we pause between the groups. However, when the same number occurs twice the word 'double' is used with the number. 1994422 is one-double nine, double-four, double-two.Listen to some dialogues between a caller on the phone and a secretary. As you listen write the telephone numbers and names in the spaces below.1. Is that ?Yes. Can I help you?I'd like to speak to , please.2. Hi. Is that ?Yes. Who do you want to speak to ?, please.3. Hello. Is that $?$Who do you wish to speak to?, please.4. Good morning. Is that ?Yes. Can 1 help you?I'd like to speak to , please.5.

3. A decision at the marginLorenzo is a hard-working first-year university student. One Thursday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 250 practice problems for his chemistry course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem. {cc} Time & Total Problems Answered \\ 8:00 AM & 0 \\9:00 AM & 100 \\10:00 AM & 175 \\11:00 AM & 225 \\Noon & 250 \\ Use the table to answer the following questions.The marginal, or additional, gain from Lorenzo's second hour of work, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, is 75 problems.The marginal gain from Lorenzo's fourth hour of work, from 11:00 AM to noon, is 25 problems.Later, the teaching assistant in Lorenzo's chemistry course gives him some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 87.5 problems raises a student's exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for one hour." For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.Given this information, in order to use his four hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should he have spent working on problems, and how many should he have spent reading?Four hours working on problems, zero hours readingOne hour working on problems, three hours readingThree hours working on problems, one hour readingTwo hours working on problems, two hours reading
