John Green questions whether "states government and the funny hatted people who rule them are the real movers and shakers in history" . He ends the video by claiming, "it's almost as if the merchants decide where the people with funny hats go , rather than the other way around" . What evidence does he give to support this position?

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.

Xy x xy if a and b are positive integers such that a*b=9 and b*a=72 what is the value of a/b
