Use the Fundamental Counting Principle. In the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language (Cambridge University Press, 1987), author David Crystal presents five sentences that make a reasonable paragraph regardless of their order. The sentences are as follows:

• Mark had told him about the foxes.
• John looked out of the window.
• Could it be a fox?
• However, nobody had seen one for months.
• He thought he saw a shape in the bushes. In how many different orders can the five sentences be arranged?

Much of Fences is written in dialect, depicting the natural speech patterns of the characters in the play. In one example, Troy teases Rose with: “I’m studying you . . . fixing to do my homework!” (I.$3.23$). In other instances, Wilson brings in dialect through songs the characters recall or sing. How does the dialect affect your understanding of the play? Do you find that the style of the characters’ language, which reflects the period when the action occurs, dates the play for contemporary viewers?

The below statement corresponds to a numbered sentence in the passage. It contains a blank and is followed by four answer choices. Decide which choice fits best in the blank. The word or phrase that you choose must express roughly the same meaning as the italicized word in the passage. Write the letter of your choice on the answer line.

Recall, in our discussion of the Church–Turing thesis, that we introduced the language $D=\{\langle p\rangle | p$ is a polynomial in several variables having an integral root}. We stated, but didn’t prove, that D is undecidable. In this problem, you are to prove a different property of D-namely, that D is NP-hard. A problem is NP-hard if all problems in NP are polynomial time reducible to it, even though it may not be in NP itself. So you must show that all problems in NP are polynomial time reducible to D.

Consider the differential equation $d y / d t=2 \sqrt{|y|}$. (a) Show that the function $y(t)=0$ for all $t$ is an equilibrium solution. (b) Find all solutions. [Hint: Consider the cases $y>0$ and $y<0$ separately. Then you need to define the solutions using language like " $y(t)=\ldots$ when $t \leq 0$ and $y(t)=\ldots$ when $t>0$. .' (c) Why doesn't this differential equation contradict the Uniqueness Theorem? (d) What does HPGSolver do with this equation?
