1. To be a Supervisor for online tutoring, a staff member must be a supervisor and have completed Academic Technology training. In cell L2, enter a formula using the IF and AND functions, as well as structured references to determine if Alison Simoneau can be an online tutor. a. The logical test in the IF function should determine if the staff member’s Supervisor status is "Yes" AND the staff member’s Academic Technology Training status is "Yes". Remember to use a structured reference to the Supervisor and the Academic Technology Training columns. b. The function should return the text Yes if a staff member meets both of those criteria. c. The function should return the text No if a staff member meets none or only one of those criteria.

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Asequential circuit contains a register of four flip-flops. initially a binary number n (0000 ≤ n ≤ 1100) is stored in the flip-flops. after a single clock pulse is applied to the circuit, the register should contain n + 0011. in other words, the function of the sequential circuit is to add 3 to the contents of a 4-bit register. design and implement this circuit using j-k flip-flops.

Let r be a robotic arm with a fixed base and seven links. the last joint of r is a prismatic joint, the other ones are revolute joints. give a set of parameters that determines a placement of r. what is the dimension of the configuration space resulting from your choice of parameters?
