1. What is Intellectual Property
Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind: inventions; literary and artistic works; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
1B. Intellectual property is divided into two categories:
Industrial Property includes patents for inventions, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications.
2. Copyright covers literary works (such as novels, poems and plays), films, music, artistic works (e.g., drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures) and architectural design. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and broadcasters in their radio and television programs.
3. What are intellectual property rights?
Intellectual property rights are like any other property right. They allow creators, or owners, of patents, trademarks or copyrighted works to benefit from their own work or investment in a creation. These rights are outlined in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which provides for the right to benefit from the protection of moral and material interests resulting from authorship of scientific, literary or artistic productions.
The importance of intellectual property was first recognized in the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883) and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886). Both treaties are administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Why promote and protect intellectual property?
There are several compelling reasons. First, the progress and well-being of humanity rest on its capacity to create and invent new works in the areas of technology and culture. Second, the legal protection of new creations encourages the commitment of additional resources for further innovation. Third, the promotion and protection of intellectual property spurs economic growth, creates new jobs and industries, and enhances the quality and enjoyment of life.
An efficient and equitable intellectual property system can help all countries to realize intellectual property’s potential as a catalyst for economic development and social and cultural well-being. The intellectual property system helps strike a balance between the interests of innovators and the public interest, providing an environment in which creativity and invention can flourish, for the benefit of all.
How does the average person benefit?
Intellectual property rights reward creativity and human endeavor, which fuel the progress of humankind. Some examples:
The multibillion dollar film, recording, publishing and software industries – which bring pleasure to millions of people worldwide – would not exist without
copyright protection.
Without the rewards provided by the patent system, researchers and inventors would have little incentive to continue producing better and more efficient products for consumers.
Consumers would have no means to confidently buy products or services without reliable, international trademark protection and enforcement mechanisms to discourage counterfeiting and piracy.

Answer:
4) 6x
5) 2x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work both these problems at once by finding an applicable rule.
where O(h²) is the series of terms involving h² and higher powers. When divided by h, each term has h as a multiplier, so the series sums to zero when h approaches zero. Of course, if n < 2, there are no O(h²) terms in the expansion, so that can be ignored.
This can be referred to as the <em>power rule</em>.
Note that for the quadratic f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c, the limit of the sum is the sum of the limits, so this applies to the terms individually:
lim[h→0](f(x+h)-f(x))/h = 2ax +b

4. The gradient of 3x^2 is 3(2)x^(2-1) = 6x.
5. The gradient of x^2 +3x +1 is 2x +3.

If you need to "show work" for these problems individually, use the appropriate values for 'a' and 'n' in the above derivation of the power rule.
Answer:
A. 2/5
B. 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
First off we need to calculate the probability that the chosen child is a girl So to calculate this probability, we have to know the num. of girls which is seen in the table. There are a total of 8 girls.
Therefore the probability of a girl being chosen is equivalent to the number of girls/exact number of children = 8/20 = 2/5 simplified.
Now to find the probability that the chosen girl is left-handed.
The amount of left-handed girls there is only 2. therefore the probability of selecting a left-handed girl will be 2/20 = 1/10 simplified.
Answer:
−4y
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the directrix is vertical, use the equation of a parabola that opens up or down.
(x−h)2=4p(y−k)
Find the vertex.
The vertex (h, k) is halfway between the directrix and focus. Find the y coordinate of the vertex using the formula y = y coordinate of focus + directrix 2. The x coordinate will be the same as the x coordinate of the focus.
(3,−1+1
___
2)
Simplify the vertex.
Add − 1 and 1. (3,0/2) Divide 0 by 2. (3,0).
Find the distance from the focus to the vertex.
The distance from the focus to the vertex and from the vertex to the directrix is | p |. Subtract the y coordinate of the vertex from the y coordinate of the focus to find p. p = − 1 − 0 Subtract 0 from − 1 . p = − 1.
Substitute in the known values for the variables into the equation ( x − h ) 2 = 4 p (y − k). (x − 3) 2 = 4 (− 1) (y − 0).
Simplify.
(x − 3) 2= −4y
= −4y
