ln the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," gifts are sent on successive days according to the following pattern: First day: A partridge in a pear tree. Second day: Two turtledoves and another partridge. Third day: Three French hens, two turtledoves, and a partridge. And so on. For each i = 1, ... , 12, let $g_{i}$ be the number of gifts sent on the ith day. Then $g_{1}$ = 1, and for i = 2, ... , 12 we have $g_{i}=g_{i-1}+i$. Now let $t_{n}$ be the total number of gifts sent during the first n days of Christmas. Find a formula for $t_{n}$ in the form $t_{n}=\frac{n(n+a)(n+b)}{c}$, where a, b, $c \in \mathbb{N}$.

In 1783, the French physicist Jacques Charles supervised and took part in the first human flight in a hydrogen balloon. Such balloons rely on the low density of hydrogen relative to air for their buoyanc y. In Charles's balloon ascent, the hydrogen was produced (together with iron (II) sulfate) from the action of aqueous sulfuric acid on iron filings. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) What volume of hydro gen is produced at 300 K and a pressure of 1.0 atm when 300 kg sulfuric acid is consumed in this reaction? (c) What would be the radius of a spherical balloon filled by the gas in part (b)?

Your French teacher has a friend at the local chapter of Le Cordon Bleu, a prestigious cooking school. The school wants to invite the students in her class who like cooking a lot. In order to determine who will attend the cooking class, your teacher took a survey to find out how students feel about cooking. Say who Le Cordon Bleu is inviting and not inviting, based on the results of the provided survey.

In the late 1940s, the French researcher Boris Ephrussi discovered one of the first examples of non-Mendelian inheritance in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He found mutants that were not able to respire (that is, were unable to do oxidative phosphorylation). The mutant cells formed small (petite in French) colonies when grown on petri plates containing the sugar glucose as a carbon source. These petite cells cannot grow at all if the only carbon source is nonfermentable, like glycerol or ethanol. In contrast, wild-type (grande) cells grow well on both kinds of petri plates. Ephrussi found that in all crosses between grande and petite haploid strains of yeast, all four spores in every ascus were grande; that is, the ratio of grande:petite was always 4:0, showing uniparental inheritance. a. Explain the phenotypes of grand and petite yeast cells (that is, their ability to grow on the two types of media) in terms of the ways the cells extract energy from their environment (oxidative phosphorylation and fermentation). b. Mitochondrial inheritance in S. cerevisiae is biparcntal. The difference between petite and grande strains of yeast turns out to be solely a properly of mtDNA, but in this case the inheritance is uniparental. How can all of these seemingly paradoxical statements be true simultaneously?

Imagine you are experiencing the situation below and describe how you would react. Be sure to select a course of action with which you are comfortable. If you have trouble thinking of a reaction, look at the suggestion below. Other responses may be possible.

You meet a French woman for the first time. You see her kiss your American friend twice on the cheek before she turns to greet you. What do you do? Why?

Suggestion: You might offer your hand, you might kiss her on both cheeks, or you might stop and ask what to do.

Read the passage below. Then answer the question.

Downy mildew caused by the fungus Plasmopara viticola devastated French grape crops during the nineteenth century. Pierre Millardet developed the Bordeaux mixture, which contained lime and copper sulfate, to prevent people from stealing and eating the grapes. He noticed that the mixture prevented the fungus from growing. In fact, it killed the fungal spores.

Which of the following is true of fungal spores?

A. They contain cellulose.

B. They are usually haploid.

C. They are not reproductive cells.

D. They usually spread underground.

Morning Smiles Coffee Company manufactures Stoneware French Press coffee makers. During the month of March, $8,100$ coffee makers were completed at a cost of goods manufactured of $\$ 607,500$. Suppose that on March $1$, Morning Smiles had $1,000$ units in finished goods inventory costing $\$ 70,000$ and on March $31,$ $1,100$ units in finished goods inventory costing $\$ 65,000$.

Required:

1. Prepare a cost of goods sold statement for the month of March.

2. Calculate the number of coffee makers that were sold during March.

The Hale Telescope The $200 \mathrm{~in}$. $(5.08 \mathrm{~m})$ diameter mirror of the Hale telescope on Mount Palomar has a focal length $f=16.9 \mathrm{~m}$. The Coudé focus arrangement uses additional mirrors to bend the light path and increase the effective focal length to $155.4 \mathrm{~m}$. What is the $f$-ratio of the telescope when the coudé focus is being used? (Coudé is French for "elbow," since the light path is "bent like an elbow." This arrangement is useful when the light needs to be focused onto a distant instrument.)

The numbers in the sequence defined by $a_{1}=1, a_{2}=3, \text { and } a_{n}=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2} \text { for } n \geq 3$ are referred to as Lucas numbers in honor of French mathematician Edouard Lucas (1842-1891). a. Find the first eight Lucas numbers. b. The formula $L_{n}=\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n}+\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n}$ gives the nth Lucas number. Use a calculator to verify this statement for n = 1, n = 2, and n = 3.
