Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The narrator of The Great Gatsby is a young man from Minnesota named Nick Carraway. He not only narrates the story but casts himself as the book’s author. He begins by commenting on himself, stating that he learned from his father to reserve judgment about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. He characterizes himself as both highly moral and highly tolerant. He briefly mentions the hero of his story, Gatsby, saying that Gatsby represented everything he scorns, but that he exempts Gatsby completely from his usual judgments. Gatsby’s personality was nothing short of “gorgeous.”

Which mathematical concepts did Euler's legacy include? Check all that apply.
Nataly_w [17]
The mathematical concepts that Leonhard Euler's legacy included are as follows:

The formalization of function notation

The notation for the imaginary unit

The notation for the base of the natural logarithm

Remember, that all of Euler's legacy included the introduction of the concept of functions as well as the proper way to write them within a mathematical formula by using the notation f(x). Before his formalization of the notation, functional relationships were referred to by just one letter, F, or with Greek letters omitting the parentheses, φx. In fact, Euler spelled out much of the mathematical notation we use today, including the letter "e" for the base of the natural logarithm (also known as Euler's number), the letter "I" to denote the imaginary unit, and the Greek letter "Σ" for summations. He also encouraged the use of the Greek letter "π" to signify the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

You should not use the authors' last names in the citation if the authors' names appear in your quote's signal phrase.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

True or False -  You should not use the authors’ last names in the citation if the authors’ names appear in the text.

Answer: True

Explanation below:

Explanation:

When it comes to English Grammar, a signal phrase is a type of phrase sentence or clause that often introduces a quotation, paraphrase, or summary. This type of phrase contains a verb together with the name of the person that is being quoted.  

It alerts the reader that something taken from an entirely different source is about to be used.  

Below is an example:

Daniel testified that he was not in the house when his neighbor’s dog died (13).

The author’s name is included and the page number in parenthesis.

So when the author’s name does not appear in the text, you should not use the author’s last names in the citation.
