The minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.
<h3>How to find the Smallest Integer?</h3>
Let the five numbers be a,b,c,d and e.
Let s be an integer
Comparison 1:
a and b will be compared first and the smaller number of them will be equal to s
Comparison 2:
Now, a smaller number between a and b that is s will be compared with c. Similarly, the smaller number of both numbers will be taken as s in the next comparison.
Comparison 3:
Likewise, s and d will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison
Comparison 4:
Likewise, s and e will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison.
After 4th comparison, s will be equal to smallest number of 5 integers.
Thus;
Total comparisons = 4
Therefore, the minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.

Chávez's claim that the autonomic nervous system is too diffuse and slow to explain rapid and differentiated emotional responses is <u>wrong</u>.
<h3>The autonomic nervous</h3>
This system regulates certain body processes such as blood pressure and respiratory rate. It works automatically (autonomously) without the person's conscious effort.
The path of an autonomic nerve involves two nerve cells. One of them is located in the brain stem or spinal cord. It is connected by nerve fibers to another cell, located in a group of nerve cells (called autonomic ganglia). Nerve fibers from these ganglia connect with internal organs.
With these information, we can conclude that Chávez's claim that the autonomic nervous system is too diffuse and slow to explain rapid and differentiated emotional responses is <u>wrong</u>.
