Depreciation: For tax purposes, businesses frequently depreciate equipment. Two methods of depreciation are straight-line depreciation and sum-of-the-years'-digits. Suppose that a college student buys a $3000 computer to start a business that provides Internet services. This student estimates the life of the computer at 4 years,
Prove telescoping series: Let a_n from n=0 to infinity be a sequence of real numbers which converge to 0, i.e. lim n-->infinity a_n=0. Then the series of the sum from n=0 to infinity of (a_n - a_n+1) converges to a_0. Hint: first work out what the partial sums of the sum from n=0 to N of (a_n - a_n+1) should be, and prove yo
Is the series sum from n=1 to infinity of (-1)^n convergent or divergent? Justify your answer. Can you now resolve the difficulty of the following: Divergent series: S=1+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+... You have probably seen the following trick to sum this series: if we call the above sum S, then if we multiply by 2, we obtain: 2S=2
The height h(t) in feet above the ground of a golf ball depends on the time, t (in seconds) it has been in the air. Ed hits a shot off the tee that has a height modeled by the velocity function h(t) = 0.5at^2 + vt + s where a is -32 ft/sec^2, v is the initial velocity, and s is the initial height. 1. Write a function that mod

Jim has 400 ft of fence material and needs to enclose an area of 10,000 square feet for his garden as the diagram depicts. (The length of the house is 62 ft, and the fence extends the same distance on either side of the house.) What must the dimensions of the rectangular enclosed region be? That is, what are the values of x and
Please see the attached file for the full problem. How can I use a scalar projection to show that the distance from a point? P[1](x[1], y[1]) to the line 3*x-4*y+5 = 0 is > abs(a*x[1]+b*y[1]+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2);

1.) In solving the equation (x + 1)(x - 2) = 4, Eric stated that the solution would be x + 1 = 4 => x = 3 or (x - 2) = 4 => x = 6. However, at least one of these solutions fails to work when substituted back into the original equation. Why is that? Please help Eric to understand better; solve the problem yourself, and explain
We know that F_2[x]/(x^2 + x + 1) is a field of cardinality 4; call it F_4. Find an irreducible quadratic f(y) [element of] F_4[y]. What is the cardinality of the finite field F_4[y]/(f(y))?
