One hundred sixty people who suffer from painful diabetic neuropathy have volunteered to participate in a study. Eighty are selected at random and are given the drug gabapentin, which, although originally intended to prevent epileptic seizures, has properties that may make it useful to alleviate neuropathy. The remaining participants are given a placebo. A neurologist evaluates the symptoms of all volunteers after two months to determine if there has been substantial improvement in the severity of the symptoms. Does the use of volunteers make this study invalid?

a. yes, because of volunteer bias no, because blocking was used.
b. yes, because there is no way to determine the effect of gabapentin on people that do not have symptoms of neuropathy.
c. no, because the subjects are randomly assigned to treatment groups.

You have learned about the six trigonometric functions, their definitions, how to use them, and how to represent them graphically. the sine, cosine, and tangent trigonometric functions can be paired with their reciprocal functions, cosecant, secant, and cotangent, respectively. think about how each function is related to its reciprocal function. how are the graphs of the reciprocal functions related to their corresponding original functions? what happens to the graphs of the reciprocal functions as x approaches the zeros of the original functions? describe how you would teach friends with different learning styles (visual-spatial, aural-auditory, verbal-linguistic, physical-bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, social-interpersonal, and solitary-intrapersonal) how to graph the reciprocal functions
