If our brains lie to us, and we tell ourselves (fictional) stories to make sense of who we are and how the world works, and if, as human beings, we simply MUST find explanations for our actions and our beliefs, how do we avoid being the "victim" of our, for lack of another way of putting it, our own "evolutionary design"?

To solve this integral, what you can do is split it up as follows: (1) ∫40(x2−4)dx=∫40(x2)dx−∫40(4)dx. to integrate  4  as an  indefinite integral, a good rule of thumb is  by  an equation below  for  polynomials; . (2) ∫xa=xa+1a+1+c , where a is any number. c denotes some constant that is crucial when doing 

Answer   (1) u.s.coast guard                (2)president major disaster declaration                (3) 72 hours;                 (4) u.s coast guard auxiliary;

You're asking in the ap section, so i'll give the ap calculus-style answer. alternatively, you can find the vertex of the parabola and use the "y"-coordinate as the answer.

the maximum height can occur at a critical number, that is, a number  such that  .

the derivative of  can be calculated as follows:



find a value of  that is a zero of the derivative:


this is parabola that is opening downward; we can assume there is a maximum at  .

to find that maximum, calculate  .
