Let k be a positive integer. If 28 is divided by k, the remainder is 4. How many different values can k have?

Explanation

Answer: E - K can have 4 different values. 28 - 4 = 24 must be divisible by k. So, we need to find the factors of 24.
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
The solution is all factors of 24 greater than the remainder 4. These are 6, 8, 12, and 24. Therefore, k can have 4 values.

Most elementary school students learn that matter exists in three different states: gas, liquid, and solid. The states of matter, as everyone knows, describe how the atomic particles interact with one another and the distances and attractions that govern those interactions In 1995, a fourth form of matter was created by scientists working with ultra-cold atoms. This fourth form is called Bose-Einstein condensate. Long theorized as being a potential state of matter, Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) consists of a cluster of atoms cooled to temperatures so close to absolute zero that they merge into a single quantum state. In a single quantum state, all of the particles can be described mathematically as a single unit. The distinctions between particles dissipate and the cluster functions, to a great extent, as a single unit.Currently, the only use for BEC is for more research. Scientists are using BEC to simulate condensed matter systems, which are forms of matter in which the atoms or particles are highly concentrated. A potential application of BEC is in the development of quantum computers, which store and process information on subatomic particles. BEC is an attractive data storage solution because an infinite number of atoms can be merged into exactly the same quantum state, and would, therefore, allow for coherent transmission of information. Researchers have already had success creating BEC clouds of millions of atoms, an indication that, theoretically, the creation of large data storage clouds is feasible.What is the most likely reason the author has included the opening paragraph of this passage?

Hippocrates (c. 460-c. 370 B. C. ). The Oath and Law of Hippocrates. The Harvard Classics. 1909-14.The Oath of HippocratesI SWEAR by Apollo the physician and Æsculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation-to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons labouring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further, from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times. But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.What does the narrator reference as needing to be kept secret?

Should Medicare be Changed?Dating back to the 1960s, Medicare, a social insurance program, has presented America’s elderly and disabled populations with health benefits for nearly six decades. As expressed in “Understanding Social Insurance: Fairness, Affordability, and the ‘Modernization’ of Social Security and Medicare”, much debate surrounds the basic controversy of whether the structure of Medicare requires change. Undoubtedly, Medicare needs to be left to function in order to offer benefits and hope to those across the United States. For many the idea of transforming Medicare from its core component of availability for all without individual risk is ideal. These economists view changes within Medicare as a way to reward the individual with personal choice and increased marketization (Marmor and Mashaw 2006). But what they are deceitfully hiding is that such changes would shake the core of Medicare, shattering its fundamental basis and leaving vast populations of people to sort through healthcare decisions that they have not been adequately informed to make, thus creating inadequate social insurance protection (Marmor and Mashaw 2006). Social insurance, which includes Medicare in its current state, is desirable because it gives a concept of protection and equality to the elderly and disabled populations throughout the United States. Given that this is a key feature of all advanced industrial societies (Marmor and Mashaw 2006), it seems that altering such social insurance programs would make Americans devoid of a protection that has assisted America’s industrial capitalism (Marmor and Mashaw 2006). Ironically, it seems that those who want to change what has worked for decades are failing to fully consider the ramifications of changing one of the key structures in a capitalistic society; they are willing instead to adopt new approaches that tend to take care of the rich and neglect the rest. Medicare has been successful for decades; therefore, what is working should not be changed.In its current state, who pays for the funding of Medicare?
