What do you think is the most significant latent function schools perform? Consider the advantages and disadvantages.

What do you learn about Max from his exchange with Feld? What is your opinion of his character?

What do you think is the special significance of the last line? (What is "latent flight"?)

What type of function do schools perform when they keep children for their working parents?

In one type of computer keyboard, each key holds a small metal plate that serves as one plate of a parallel-plate, air-filled capacitor. When the key is depressed, the plate separation decreases and the capacitance increases. Electronic circuitry detects the change in capacitance and thus detects that the key has been pressed. In one particular keyboard, the area of each metal plate is $42.0 \mathrm{mm}^{2}$, and the separation between the plates is 0.700 mm before the key is depressed. (a) Calculate the capacitance before the key is depressed. (b) If the circuitry can detect a change in capacitance of 0.250 pF, how far must the key be depressed before the circuitry detects its depression?

In the poem's extended simile, in what specific ways are the speaker and the person he or she is addressing like the deer?

Give the slope and y-intercept of each line whose equation is given. Then graph the linear function.

$$g ( x ) = - \frac { 1 } { 3 } x$$

Find the interval of convergence of the power series. (Be sure to include a check for convergence at the endpoints of the interval.) Σ_(n=0)^∞ (x-3)^n+1 / (n+1)4^n+1

A movie stuntman (mass 80.0 kg) stands on a window ledge 5.0 m above the floor. Grabbing a rope attached to a chandelier, he swings down to grapple with the movie’s villain (mass 70.0 kg), who is standing directly under the chandelier. (Assume that the stuntman’s center of mass moves downward 5.0 m. He releases the rope just as he reaches the villain.) If the coefficient of kinetic friction of their bodies with the floor is $\mu \mathrm { k } = 0.250$, how far do they slide?

Whom is the speaker addressing? Before the poem begins, what has happened?
