From 2009 through 2017, the long-term real interest rate paid by the safest U.S. corporations fell from 5.5 percent a year to 4 percent a year. During most of that period, the federal funds rate was roughly constant at 0.25 percent a year. What do you think happened to inflation expectations between 2009 and 2017 and why? Question content area bottom Part 1 Inflation expectations between 2009 and 2017 most likely _______. A. were equal to the federal funds rate B. decreased, because the federal funds rate didn't change C. increased, because the nominal federal funds rate was constant and real rates fell D. did not change

\The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all employers with at least 50 full-time equivalent workers to offer health insurance to their full-time employees or pay a fine of up to $2,000 per employee. Some people have argued that ACA will lower employment. This problem looks at an important issue in this debate. Part 2 Suppose the government passes a law that requires firms to offer health insurance to their workers. The cost of the insurance is equal to $22 for each hour an employee works. How will this law affect firms' demand for labor? A. Demand for labor will not change. B. Demand for labor will shift down by $22. C. Demand for labor will shift up by $22. D. There will be movement along the demand curve.

Question 3 [4 points]: Gates and measurement Suppose we have a qubit initially in the state $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle + \frac{e^{i\theta}}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle$ for some $\theta \in \mathbb{R}$. 1. Calculate the probabilities of receiving result \"0\" or \"1\" if the qubit is measured. 2. Recall the definition of the Hadamard gate, which has the vectors $|+\rangle$ and $|-\rangle$ as its columns: $H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ If we first apply the Hadamard gate to the initial state $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle + \frac{e^{i\theta}}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle$ and then measure, what are the probabilities of receiving the \"0\" and \"1\" results as an function of $\theta$? Note: this is the same thing as measuring the initial state in the $|+\rangle, |-\rangle$ basis.
