You receive an email from your school's head of IT. There is a concern for a potential hack to the school's servers. IT knows some accounts have been compromised, with their login and passwords overwritten by the hackers. They need to reset the accounts that the hackers have changed the passwords on. However, they don't have access to the passwords directly, and the change records were corrupted by the attack. They need students and staff to confirm their passwords by logging into a secure site. If the login fails, they'll know your account was compromised and reset your account immediately. a.) This could be a phishing attempt. If the situation is as described in the email, this is also serious, but the method suggested is the same methods used by social hackers. Look up your IT Departments phone number and call them about the email.
b.) This is a serious issue, and the email came from the head of IT. The site also shows that it's secure. The longer it takes to reset accounts, the longer the hackers will have access to your account. Follow the instructions in the email from the head of IT.

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.)
