Which of the following best describes a Cognitive Dissonance Theory explanation for drug use? Group of answer choices People are more likely to use drugs if they feel capable of managing their drug use and minimizing any negative outcomes. The conflict between using drugs and understanding their harmful effects creates a need to rationalize drug use to alleviate psychological stress. Drug use is influenced by the belief that using drugs will lead to positive experiences, such as enhanced mood or increased social acceptance. Individuals might use drugs to fulfill psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

Hick's argument that the doctrine of determinism is self-refuting is based on the claim that it commits one to believing that: No beliefs are rational, including the belief in determinism. It was already decided before you were even born whether you would believe in determinism or not. It's already determined whether or not you will believe in determinism. The mere fact we deliberate on the truth of determinism proves not everything is already determined.

3. Two varieties—A (susceptible) and B (resistant)—of a particular squash were used to characterize the genetics of resistance to a necrotizing plant pathogen. Eight thousand plants from each variety were inoculated, and the average number of necrotic lesions produced per leaf was recorded. Variety A averaged 52 lesions per leaf, whereas variety B averaged six lesions per leaf. The F? progeny from a cross between variety A and variety B plants averaged 21 lesions per leaf, with a phenotypic variance of 13.7. Of the F? progeny, 8000 were again tested by inoculation, and a total of four plants were produced that were phenotypically similar to the original parental plants—2 plants for each extreme (i.e., parental) phenotype. Overall, the F? plants averaged 18 lesions per leaf with a phenotypic variance of 56.3. (4 pts.) a) How many gene pairs control resistance to this pathogen? b) Determine the broad-sense heritability of resistance to this particular pathogen among the F? plants, assuming that there is no genetic-environmental interaction variance for this trait.

Calculus I Applications of Basic Derivatives 2. The Derivative of $e^x$ The graph of $e^x$ is provided for you below. Use your calculator to graph the derivative of $e^x$ using the definition of derivative $f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$, with $h = .0001$. $f(x) = e^x$ $f'(x)$ So, what is the derivative of $e^x$: _________ If you have time, find $\frac{dy}{dx}$: (a) $y = 2e^x + 2xe^x$ (b) $y = e^x - \cos x$ (c) $y = x^4 - \frac{\sin x}{6} + \frac{e^x}{3}$
