Two things I do not like about math:  Calculus and Trigonometry

One thing I like about math:  Your efforts always result in a clear solution

1. Using the database demonstrated in class, and the following simple statements search for (paranthesis required) answer the following questions. Let
   • d = death penalty  5132
   • c = capital punishment 5441
   • n = New York State 237938

     Search for:

     1. n /\ ( d \/ c )      444  New York State and (death penalty or capital punishment)
     2. ( n /\ d ) \/ c      5540 (New York State and death penalty) or capital punishment 
     3. n /\ d \/ c           5540 New York State and death penalty or capital punishment
     4. ( n /\ d) \/ ( n /\ c) 1559 (New York State and death penalty) or (New York State and capital punishment)
     You must record the number of hits and exactly what you entered as your search criteria.
2. In part 1, which searches yield the same results and why? searches b and c yielded the same results because it is the same question written 2 different ways.
3. For each of the searches above, determine which Venn diagram corresponds to to the search:
   1. B and C
   2. B and C
   3.  A
   4.  D
   5. A
   6. B and C
