Amy's first task for her new internship is to calculate the length of the belt that will fit snugly around the two wheels. She notices that the belt can be divided into four sections. Help Amy calculate the length of the belt.

Classify quadrilateral ACDG. Explain your reasoning.

At work, Jack must stuff 1000 envelopes with advertisements. He can stuff 12 envelopes in one minute, and he has 112 envelopes already finished. Solve $1000=$ $12 n+112$ to calculate how many minutes it will take Jack to complete the task.

For the following system

$$\begin{gather*} A = \left(\begin{array}{cc}\,\,\,\, 1 & 4 \\ -2 & 3\end{array}\right), \end{gather*}$$

use elementary row and column operations to simplify the task of evaluating the determinant by cofactor expansions. If ${A}$ is nonsingular, find ${A^{-1}}$.

Consider a mixture containing $0.5 \mathrm{~g}$ of benzil and $0.05 \mathrm{~g}$ of benzoin. Your task is to isolate benzil in a pure form. Could you accomplish this using an extraction procedure? If yes, explain how you would do this. If not, suggest another technique that would accomplish this.

In this task, $\text{L'H}\^{\text{o}}\text{pital's Rule}$ is used incorrectly. Describe the error. $$ \xcancel{\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{\sin \pi x-1}{x}=\lim\limits _{x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{\pi \cos \pi x}{1}=\pi}$ $$

Calculate the total length of the belt.

In this task, use a graphing utility to graph the first $10$ terms of the sequence. Use the graph to make an inference about the convergence or divergence of the sequence. Verify your inference analytically and, if the sequence converges, find its limit.

$$a_n=3-\dfrac{1}{2^n}$$

In this task, use the weight of the rocket to answer each question. (Use $4000$ miles as the radius of Earth and do not consider the effect of air resistance.)

How much work is required to propel the rocket an unlimited distance away from Earth's surface?

$10$-ton rocket

In this task, find the first five terms of the sequence of partial sums.

$$\dfrac{1}{2\cdot 3}+\dfrac{2}{3 \cdot 4}+\dfrac{3}{4 \cdot 5}+\dfrac{4}{5 \cdot 6}+\dfrac{5}{6 \cdot 7}+\cdots$$

Calculate the length of minor arc CE.

In this task, use the weight of the rocket to answer each question. (Use $4000$ miles as the radius of Earth and do not consider the effect of air resistance.)

How far has the rocket traveled when half the total work has occurred?

$10$-ton rocket

On the lines provided below, write P if the underlined word group is a phrase and NP if it is not a phrase. Example $\underline{\text{P}}$ 1. We have finally discovered the secret $\underline{\text{of delicious pizza. }}$

______ 4. $\underline{\text{Mixing the dough}}$ was the first task that gave us trouble.

In this task, write an expression for the $n$th term of the sequence. (There is more than one correct answer.)

$1+\dfrac{1}{2}, 1+\dfrac{3}{4}, 1+\dfrac{7}{8}, 1+\dfrac{15}{16}, 1+\dfrac{31}{32}, \ldots$.
