What is this famous saying?zain yain xain wain vain uain tain sain rain qain oain nain main lain kain jain iain hain fain eaindain cain bain aainAnswer: No pain, no gain. In a backwards sequence, every alphabetical letter comes with thesuffix "ain" except "p" and "g" and hence "no p-ain", "no g-ain".Example 3: Consider the following problem posed in a Korean second grade class.

Binomial theorem? To see how the Pascal’s triangle is related to binomial expansion, we write the coefficients of the expansions in a triangular array as follows: In this array, called Pascal’s triangle after Blaise Pascal (1623 – 1662), each entry other than the 1’s is the sum of the closest pair of numbers in the line above it. The pattern continues forever. (a + b)6 = a6 + 6a5b + 15a4b2 + 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 + 6x1y5 + y6 6 6 6 6 6 = a6 + ( ) 𝑎5b1 + ( )a4b2 + ( )a3b3 + ( )a2b4 + ( )a1b5 + b6 1 2 3 4 5 Binomial Theorem

Thecommittee compared performance between high achieving and low achieving student populations toevaluate the ever-widening gap in student outcomes. From the initial discussions, the primarycontributing factors identified were (a) the impact of COVID-19 on pre-university preparation, (b)poor grasp of fundamental trigonometry, analytic geometry in 3D, vectors, and vector algebra, and(c) lack of problem-solving skills when faced

This paper presents a senior design project that implemented object detection on Raspberry Pi byrunning deep learning models, where the edge devices include Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, Model B+ (Plus)Complete Starter Kit1 and a web camera. It consists of three steps: 1) hardware configuration: it is toconfigure the Raspberry Pi and mount the web-camera on the Raspberry Pi; 2) software installation:it is to install necessary software such as TensorFlow and OpenCV; 3) deploying mobile deep learningmodels on Raspberry Pi to run object detection.
