In both folate and B12 deficiency a lab technician would expect to see hypersegmented neutrophils, oval macrocytes, anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, and red blood cell inclusions, but in folate deficiency, the serum methylmalonic acid and B12 levels would be normal.

Which of the following vessels is labeled “A”?

A spray can is used until it is empty except for the propellant gas, which has a pressure of 1330 torr at 22.0 °C. If the can is thrown into a fire (T = 475 °C), what will be the pressure in the hot can?P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2T(K) = T(C) + 273.15Show your work. 

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation -30q2+4q-2=0{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”-30q2+4q-2=0″}. There is (are) _______ real solution(s) and  _______ complex solution(s).
