I’m working on a Algebra question and need guidance to help me study.

Please respond to both POST1 and POST2 in at least 200 words each. I have included the original post as a reference when answering the post.

Original Post:

For this discussion, complete the following tasks:

1. Use an outside source to search for a quadratic equation that models something from your daily life.
2. Solve the equation in two ways.
3. Discuss which method you liked better and why.
4. In your responses to peers, compare and contrast your preferences for how to solve quadratic equations.

POST1:

The quadratic equation is used to describe the relationship between objects that are thrown and how long it takes to hit the ground.

In spirit of playoffs, I decided to determine how long a punt takes to hit the ground. As I discovered in combing through ways of finding relevant information, the science of a punt is pretty fascinating. For instance, using a right triangle you can determine the necessary angle for a kick to account for distance. That is a function by itself. For this discussion I will just focus on the quadratic equation to determine how long the average punt takes to hit the ground. This would be relevant to know because members of a special team should be able to cover this distance before the ball hits the return man.

The formula:

y=-4.9t^2+V0(t)+H0 where -4.9t^2 is the constant of gravity, V0 is the initial velocity in Meters/Second and H0 is the starting height.

This formula is created due to the effect of the football traveling in a parabola. When the ball is first kicked it travels upward. Starting from the initial launch, the effect of gravity begins to counteract the initial velocity, eventually causing the football to fall. The actual function output is height.

Y=-4.9t^2+39.2t+2.45

Solving by factoring: I don’t like this method. It usually doesn’t work to solve complex equations.

Solving by completing the square:

y=-4.9t^2+39.2t+2.45

-4.9t^2+39.2t+2.45=0

-2t^2+16t+1=0

-2t^2+16t+1=0 put into the form t^2+2at+a^2+b

-2(t^2-8t+16-.5-16)=0

-2(t-4)^2-.5-16=0

-2(t-4)^2-16.5=0

(t-4)^2=-16.52/2

t= +/-(?16.52+4)/2

t=8.062

t=-0.062

In this case, total time is equal to 8.062 seconds when the ball lands (ignoring -0.062 because it isn’t relevant)

Solving using the quadratic equation:

y=-4.9t2+39.2t+2.45 we set the equation equal to 0 and divide by negative like terms and to give us whole and positive term value 0=2t^2-16t-1

Using the quadratic formula we plug in the values of a, b and c

t=(-(-16)^2 +/-?(-16)2-42(-1)22)/2*2

Solving this equation we get the same answers: t=-0.062 and t=8.062

I like completing the square and quadratic formula because they are similar and allow to manipulate numbers that don’t necessarily factor easily

POST2:

Over the weekend, I went on a canoe trip. I spent the morning traveling upstream and the afternoon traveling downstream. Overall, I spent 4 hours traveling 10 miles. I know that the stream I was canoeing flows at 3 MPH. Now I need to find out at what speed I traveled.

(distance upstream/speed – current) + (distance downstream/speed + current) = 4 hours

(10 / x -3) + (10 / x+3) = 4 hours

10 (x+3) + 10 (x-3) = 4 (x+3)(x-3)

10x + 30 + 10x – 30 = 4(X^2 – 9)

20X = 4x^2 – 9

F(x) = 4x^2 – 20x – 9

Quadratic Formula:

X = (-b +/- ?(b^2-4ac)) / 2a

X = (-(-20)+/- ?(-(-20)-4(4)(-20))) / ((2)(4))

X = (20 +/- ?(400 + 144))) / 8

X = (20 +/- ?(544))/8

X = 5.41

X = -0.41

Therefore, since I cannot travel at a negative speed, I traveled at 5.41 MPH.

Completing the square:

4x^2 – 20x – 9 = 0

(4/4)x^2 – (20/4)x – (9/4) = (0/4)

X^2 -5x – (9/4) = 0

X^2 – 5x = (9/4)

X^2 – 5x + (25/4) = (9/4) + (25/4)

(X – (5/2))^2 = (34/4)

X – (5/2) = +/-?(17/2)

X = (5/2) +/- ?(17/2)

X = 5.41

X = -0.41

Overall, I preferred to use the quadratic formula. I found that it was easier for me to plug numbers into a formula versus what I saw as a massive amount of work by completing the square.

I’m working on a Powerpoint question and need guidance to help me study.

Create a 9-slide presentation in which you analyze cost accounting practices to make a recommendation about whether or not to accept a purchase offer at a lower price than normal. You may either record the presentation or write a 2-3 page supporting report.

Scenario

The Acme Pickle Company has distributed pickles under the “Florida’s Best” brand for eight years from its production facility in Jacksonville, Florida. It sells the pickles to stores in the southeastern United States. Acme normally produces between 8,000 and 10,000 cases of pickles a month but has the capacity to produce 12,000 cases without adding equipment or personnel.

The owner of a twenty-store supermarket chain in Wisconsin, called Super Deals, visits friends in Florida and is impressed with the quality of “Florida’s Best” pickles. He approaches you, an Acme Pickle account manager, with an offer to buy 2,000 cases of pickles to use in a special promotion at his stores. He is thinking of something such as:

“Free jar of Florida’s Best pickles with every purchase of forty dollars or more—this month only!”

He offers Acme a price of $9.50 per case, knowing that it is a very substantial discount from the normal selling price of $20 a case. Acme’s management is inclined to turn the offer down, because their cost is calculated at $10.00 a case. They believe they would lose money if they sold at $9.50 a case. You, on the other hand, believe that some errors have been made in the cost accounting.

Your Role

You are the account manager for Acme Pickles.

Requirements

Your analysis for the Controller and Sales Manager is needed to suggest a different way of calculating the pricing of the pickles that may be lower. As part of your analysis, address the following items:

• Explain why some production costs are variable and some are fixed.
• Analyze the benefit of recalculating the cost of pickle production.
  • How would you recalculate it?
  • What would the result be?
  • What is the benefit to the company of recalculating the cost?
• Analyze how financial accounting of production cost differs from managerial accounting of production cost.
  • Explain the difference between the two accounting methods.
  • Identify the benefits and drawbacks of each method.
• Recommend a plan of action to management regarding Super Deals’ offer.

Below is the cost report for a recent month. In this month, Acme produced 9,000 cases and sold them at $20 per case, which is Acme’s normal selling price. Nine thousand cases are well beyond Acme’s break-even point, enabling Acme to record a substantial profit at the nine-thousand-case level.

Deliverable Format

Your team lead wants to share this analysis across remote locations of the organization and is hoping you will set the standard for how analyses and decisions of this type should be presented and supported. Your team has requested either a recorded presentation (including slides and notes) or a presentation and supporting reporting that can be distributed as a model. Prepare a presentation of at least 9 slides using PowerPoint or software of your choice detailing your recommendation and the information you used to make your recommendation. You can either record the presentation or prepare a separate report supporting the presentation.

If you choose to record your presentation, you may use Capella-supported Kaltura Media or another technology of your choice that produces a shareable URL. Kaltura is recording software that can be used to create webcam, screen, and audio recordings. Refer to the MBA Program Resources for the Using Kaltura tutorial to prepare for this option. If you choose to use something other than Kaltura Media, ensure that it creates a shareable URL and can be embedded in the courseroom to ensure faculty can access your recording.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in these activities, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.

Recommendation requirements:

• Presentation slides:
  • Create at least 9 slides detailing your recommendation and the information you used to make your recommendation.
  • Include additional details as slide notes.
• Supporting information. Choose one of the following options:
  • Record your presentation.
  • Create a 2–3 page report to support your slides.

Related company standards:

• The recommendation report is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.
• In addition to the presentation or report materials, include:
  • Title (slide or page).
  • References (slide or page).
  • Appendix with supporting materials.
  • At least two APA-formatted references.

Evaluation

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 1: Explain how accounting concepts and practices impact financial reporting.
  • Explain why some production costs are variable and some are fixed.
• Competency 2: Apply principles of accounting to assess financial performance.
  • Analyze how financial accounting of production cost differs from managerial accounting of production cost.

I’m stuck on a History question and need an explanation.

The response should be a minimum of 150 words. Your response should be substantive. I do not want you to simple agree or disagree, but rather comment on why you agree or disagree, raise more points, indicate commonalities or differences, discuss the issue in relation to our readings, and/or raise new questions about which we can all think. The response does not have to be more than a well-developed paragraph. A sentence will not get you credit. I don’t want you to respond with “Great job. Keep it up.” That is an F response.

Respond to this: “Venus Figurines refer to an early example of a carved figurine that shows the ideal female form. The Venus Figurines were carven during the Upper Paleolithic period between 26,000 and 21,000 years ago. Many of the carvings had a head too small for their body and wide hips tapered to a point which showed an over exaggerated form of the female body. The meaning and purpose of the “Venus” fertility Figurines from those periods suggests deep veneration of the reproductive role of women, and analogy with modern hunter-gatherer societies implies that females largely share in the egalitarian structure of small bands (Brand, Feres p. 34).

The Venus prompted a new way of thinking, encouraging some scholars to focus on what the figure tells us about prehistoric perceptions of beauty, obesity, and fertility. Anthropologists at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, recently published a study arguing that large, corpulent figurines symbolized the hope for a well-nourished community that the ancient carvers may have wanted(Curry). The large bodies the figurines portray what can also be seen is that society favored larger, rounder woman not less rotund ones (Brand, Feres p. 35). Rounder women were seen as more fertile, and were perceived as having better access to resources.

The art and sculptures of the early years can tell us much about the ancient societies that used them. But the Venus Figurines have ignited a serious scholarly debate that has been around since the Stone Age figurines were first discovered early last century at Hohle Fels and nearby caves. Were these literal representations of the surrounding world? Or artworks created to express emotions or abstract ideas? (Curry). Some scholars viewed such pieces as representations of sought after game animals so more like survival tools and less like works of art. The problem is, many of the figurines discovered so far—predators such as lions and bears do not correspond to what prehistoric people ate, their diet was mainly horse or grain. Other scholars perceived the prehistoric figurines not as imaginative works but literal depictions of hallucinations (Curry).

Early prehistoric religion mostly took the form of worship towards gods and goddesses, the gods and goddesses were important to the ancient people’s religion. The religion had a hierarchical system of leadership with High Priests at the top followed various religious leaders (The Art of the Chauvet Cave). Based on this system, the religion when was very important to these ancient peoples and taken very seriously because that was what a lot of their lives revolved around. The way the religion was worshipped in a hierarchical manor, the remaining culture may have followed suit. With as the most important aspect of their life which my belief was their religion, it is safe to say that the influence would be passed onto other parts of their lives.”

I need an explanation for this Literature question to help me study.

You have learned a little bit about many of the characters in The Canterbury Tales, and you have learned a lot about the Wife of Bath through her own tale. Now you will return to “The Prologue” and make a prediction about the type of story another character might tell. Choose one of the following characters:

• Knight
• Squire
• Miller
• Parson
• Pardoner

Return to the notes you took as you read “The Prologue.” Use them as you describe in your own words the character you have chosen to write about. Then, explain what kind of story you think that character will tell, using textual evidence from “The Prologue” to support your prediction.

Week 4’s assignment builds on Week 3’s assignment and will be part of the final assignment. In the previous week, you determined the performance management strategies needed for your Global HR Acquisition Plan. This week, you will determine the salary and reward methods as well as how the employee’s benefits will be determined. There are advantages and disadvantages to having a benefits package that is fixed versus having one in which the employee can select the desired benefits within an approved dollar amount. (An umbrella program such as this is referred to as a “flexible bundle.” For example, a young employee may want more vacation days but not wish to have life insurance. A flexible bundle allows for this.)

For this assignment, you will propose a compensation structure. Your compensation structure must

• Explain the rewards and type of benefits package to be supplied for the India employees.
  • Construct a total rewards model for hedging diversity as a resource for organizational competitiveness.
  • Assess whether a fixed benefits package or a flexible bundle (in which the employee selects the benefits desired) would best fit these employees.
  • Provide a rationale for your decision.
• Explain whether the compensation will consist of hourly, salary, or contingent base selection.
• Explain how the elements of your compensation structure compare to the competition in India (consider such tools as benchmarking and positioning of the competition).

The Rewards and Benefits Management paper

• Must be minimum of three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
• Must include a separate title page with the following:
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must use at least two scholarly, peer reviewed, and/or credible sources in addition to the course text.
  • The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.

Help me study for my Business class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Address the following in your report:

• Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the most important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
• Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the least important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
• Provide an in-depth analysis of a minimum of four of the management pairs working together utilizing personality scores and employee background information. For example, you might choose Design Manager Alice Bloom and Lifting Shoes Manager Anam Basra. For each pair, identify potential strengths of them working together and two potential weaknesses of them working together. This does require some hypothesizing based on employee personality traits scores and background information. Considering job tasks and job design helps here too.

Attached you will find my notes, company background and directions also attached is the paper I wrote that I need help with

I’m studying for my English class and need an explanation.

After completing the reading listed on this week’s checklist–“The Signs of Shopping” by Anne Norton (83) and “The Science of Shopping” by Malcolm Gladwell (88) both in Signs of Life–complete the following:

To begin our course-long analysis of popular culture, we will begin with the world of marketing and advertising. We might be tempted to believe that because we are the ones choosing to buy certain products and services, that we are making autonomous (free) choices. This feeling, conscious or subconscious, might make us feel empowered – as if it is an act of independence and individuality. However, as you may already realize, and as the first two readings explain, those seemingly autonomous acts are often driven by carefully crafted marketing and advertising forces that can be read as semiotic signs of social and political significance.

We will continue to develop our understanding of these forces as well as their significance over the next couple of weeks. For this discussion:

Part I

Visit a local store or supermarket, and study the spatial design. Which of the design strategies that Gladwell describes do you observe, and how do they seem to affect the customers’ behavior? How are some of these techniques similar to what Norton discusses in the section of her essay under the heading “Shopping at Home”? Use at least one quotation from each essay to support or illustrate. (250-300 words)

Part II

Using specific details (like particular stores, websites, techniques), answer the following question: Do you think surveillance of customers by retailers (brick-and-mortar and/or online) is beneficial or destructive to society as a whole? (250-300 words).
