Let a and b be two vector. i. e. a and b are two vectors, of possibly different sizes, containing integers. Further assume that in both a and b the integers are sorted in ascending order.
1. Write a function:
vector merge( vector a, vector b)
that will merge the two vectors into one new one and return the merged vector.
By merge we mean that the resulting vector should have all the elements from a and b, and all its elements should be in ascending order.
For example:
a: 2,4,6,8
b: 1,3,7,10,13
the merge will be: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,10,13
Do this in two ways. In way 1 you cannot use any sorting function. In way 2 you must.

Provide an example of a project that combines the three principles of lean six sigma with business project management (bpm) and services oriented architecture (soa). identify the elements of the project that comply with each of three principles.

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Consider the following statements, then select one of the answers below: the signal() function shown below registers "sig_handler()" as the signal handler function for the sigkill signal, without the complexity of using when the sigkill signal is sent to a process running this code, by a user typing "kill -kill ", where the correct process id is used for to target the process, sig_handler() will be executed.
