REAL NUMBERS Q.1 Determine the prime factorization of the number 556920. (1 Mark) (Ans) 23 x 32 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 17 Explanation : Using the Prime factorization‚ we have 556920 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 17 = 23 x 32 x 5 x 7 x 13 x 17 Q.2 Use Euclid’s division algorithm to find the HCF of 210 and 55. (1 Mark) (Ans) 5 Explanation: 5 ‚ Given integers are 210 and 55 such that 210 > 55. Applying Euclid’s division leema to 210 and 55‚ we get 210 = 55 x 3 + 45 ………

Is Witchcraft Rational? Human nature has always instigated us to try and look for explanations for what happens around us. Psychology looks for the explanations for human behavior‚ meteorology looks for explanations for weather and the police now look for scientific explanations to solve a crime. The means we have today to investigate cause and effect are different from how they were even a decade ago let alone in the ancient civilizations when witchcraft and magic supposedly originated‚ not to

than the optimal one.[2] Some models of human behavior in the social sciences assume that humans can be reasonably approximated or described as "rational" entities (see for example rational choice theory). Many economics models assume that people are on average rational‚ and can in large enough quantities be approximated to act according to their preferences. The concept of bounded rationality revises this assumption to account for the fact that perfectly rational decisions are often not feasible

growth model as developed by Solow(1956)[1]. I will then proceed to discuss the extensions that have been made to this basic model in an attempt to better understand actual growth figures‚ for e.g. the standard neoclassical model cannot explain the magnitude of international differences in growth rates. Mankiw[2] points out that “the model can explain incomes that vary by a multiple of slightly more than two. Yet income per person varies by a multiple of more than ten.” Economic growth

What Are The Main Strengths and Weaknesses of The Rational Choice Approach ToReligions Behavior? One of the pioneers of the rational choice theory has been Gary Becker.
