Report the molar mass of hydrogen to 2 digits behind the decimal point. Be sure to include the units for molar mass in your answer. For example, a molar mass of 25.00 grams per mole is written as 25.00 g/mol
A new signal, $x_3(t) = 2e^{-2t} \sin(\pi t) \delta(t - 0.5)$ Use this signal $x_3(t)$ to answer these parts: i) Simplify the expression for $x_3(t)$ as much as possible. ii) Evaluate $\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x_3(t) dt$ iii) Evaluate the results of this integral: $\int_{-1}^{0.6} x_3(t) dt$ iv) Evaluate the results of this integral: $\int_{0.6}^{1} x_3(t) dt$
Home Construction Company has requested a loan to finance the materials and labor required to build two homes in a new neighborhood. Const five months. Which combination of disbursement terms and repayment schedule is the most appropriate for this purpose? Disburse loan funds in one lump sum; repayment should be in equal installments over a 20-year period.

16) For an LFSR with characteristics polynomial $f(x) = x^3 + x^2 + 1$ draw the state transition diagram. What is the period? How many cycles would you have?
One of the basic components of every IR model is a ranking function sim that, in the context of a query q, assigns to each document a score that indicates the "similarity" between the document and the query, according to their representations in the specific IR model. We say that two documents are separable in a given IR model if it is possible to formulate at least one query that results in different values of the ranking function sim for the two documents. Consider the (short) documents: d1 = "to go or not to go" and d2 = "to go or not." Are these documents separable in (a) the Boolean model, [2 p] (b) the vector space model with tf-idf weighting and the cosine similarity measure? [2 p] Please substantiate your answers.
