When did the Affordable Care Act take effect?

A: 2008
B: 2010
C: 2012
D: 2014

Post Post #5 (isolation #2) » Thu Aug 11, 2022 5:53 am

That is incorrect.

Nope.

I was looking for D. 2014. 2010 was the year the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, but most of its provisions didn't actually take effect until 2014. (I admit that the question could perhaps been worded better.)

Anyway, anyone can post the next question.

I'm invoking the 72 hour rule.

The Gamma function is defined as the improper integral from 0 to infinity of t^{a - 1}e^-t dt where a is the input to the function. Which of the following statements about the gamma function (denoted by Gamma(a)) is false?

A: Gamma(a + 1) = a * Gamma(a)
B: Gamma(1 / 2) = sqrt(pi)
C: Gamma(a) = a!
D: The function f_Y(y) = (1 / (4 * Gamma(2))) * y * e^{-y / 2} on the interval (0, infinity) is a well-defined probability density function.

C is correct. The correct formula is Gamma(a) = (a - 1)!.

I'm gonna guess A even though I think that's wrong.

A pushdown automaton is

best

described as accepting which class of languages?

A: Context-free languages
B: Context-sensitive languages
C: Natural languages
D: Regular languages

Post Post #290 (isolation #24) » Fri Oct 14, 2022 4:33 pm

A is correct. A pushdown automaton can recognize regular languages as well as every regular language is also a context-free language, but I asked for the best description.
