Answers: A: Flannery O'Connor B: Christopher BuckleyC: Andrew Greeley D: Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh Tossup 14: Math (Calculus) - Computational (30 Seconds) x is restricted to be between negative pi over twoand pi overtwo. Fuly simplify your answer. Find the derivative, with respect to x,of the definite integral from zero to thesine of x, of the inverse sine of t, dt. You can solve this problem byevaluating the definite integral and then thederivative, though it would be easier to evaluateboth at once, remembering to use the chain rule. Answer: x cos(x) (accept cos(x) times x; note that the restricted domain ensures thatarcsin(sin(x) = x) Bonus 14: Miscelaneous (Technology) Name these ways of connecting peripherals to computers. A: Now one of the most popular connectors, the 2.0 variety of this sends data at rates up to 480 megabits per second. B: Also known as IEEE 1394, this comes in four- and six-pin varieties.It is used for camcorders and other high-volumeoperationsbecause it travels up to 800 megabits per second. C: Also known as "mini-DIN," this circular six-pin connector is often used for keyboards and mice. D: This trapezoidal 25-pin port was once used for printers. It is namedfor the fact that it does not send data serialy. Answers: A: USB (Universal Serial Bus) B: Firewire C:PS/2 D: Paralel Tossup 15: Science (Biology) Not present in bacterialplasmids, theyoccur only in linear chromosomes, in humans with the patern TTAGGG. Comprising up to 300,000 base pairs of DNA, they alow DNA polymerase to act on entire chromosomes, because it is unable to copy al the way to the end. Consequently, these are shortened every time a cel divides, and their length is thought to be associated with aging. Name this bufer DNA at the ends of linear chromosomes. Answer: Telomere Bonus 15: Math (Other) I'l give you two SI prefixes. You have to multiplythem and give the resulting SI prefix. For example, if Isay "kilo times kilo," you know that's a thousandtimes a thousand, or one milion, so yourespond "mega." A: Hecto times deca B: Gigatimeskilo C: Mega times nano D: Kilo times peta Answers: A: Kilo B: Tera C: Mili D: Exa Aegis Questions © 2006 htp:/www.aegisquestions.com/
