Sasha is thinking about investing 20.000 dollars in a company, which offers him a five-year plan of divident payment at the end of each year: At the end of the first year, he will get 2000 dollars. At the end of the second year, he will get 4000 dollars. At the end of the third year, he will get 6000 dollars. At the end of the fourth year, he will get 6000 dollars again, and at the end of the last year of payment plan, he will get 5000 dollars.
What is the maximum interest rate a bank could offer to Sasha, so that the investment in the company is more payable for him than making a deposit in a bank?View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,130.1K views

Two robots are placed at different points on a straight line of infinite length. When they are first placed down, they each spray out some oil to mark their starting points.
You must program each robot to ensure that the robots will eventually crash into each other. A program can consist of the following four instructions:
- Go left one space
- Go right one space
- Skip the next instruction if there is oil in my current spot
- Go to a label
[Note that a “label” is a name that refers to a line of your code. For example, you could label the third line of your program “surveying”. Then, the instruction “goto surveying” would jump to line 3 and start executing from there on the next cycle.]
A robot will carry out one instruction per second. Both robots need not have the same program. Note that you won’t know ahead of time which robot is on the left and which is on the right.
