...Algebra 1: Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Lesson Plan for week 2 Age/Grade level: 9th grade Algebra 1 # of students: 26 Subject: Algebra Major content: Algebraic Expressions Lesson Length: 2 periods of 45 min. each Unit Title: Simplifying Algebraic Expressions using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of terms. Lesson #: Algebra1, Week 2 Context This lesson is an introduction to Algebra and its basic concepts. It introduces the familiar arithmetic operators of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in the formal context of Algebra. This lesson includes the simplification of monomial and polynomial expressions using the arithmetic operators. Because the computational methods of variable quantities follows from the computational methods of numeric quantities, then it should follow from an understanding of basic mathematical terminology including the arithmetic operators, fractions, radicals, exponents, absolute value, etc., which will be practiced extensively prior to this lesson. Objectives • Students will be able to identify basic algebraic concepts including: terms, expressions, monomial, polynomial, variable, evaluate, factor, product, quotient, etc. • Students will be able to simplify algebraic expressions using the four arithmetic operators. • Students will be able to construct and simplify algebraic expressions from given parameters. • Students will be able to evaluate algebraic expressions. • Students...

...1. Specify the scope of the planning and its time frame. 2. For the present situation, develop a clear understanding that will serve as the common departure point for each of the scenarios. 3. Identify predetermined elements that are virtually certain to occur and that will be driving forces. 4. Identify the critical uncertainties in the environmental variables. If the scope of the analysis is wide, these may be in the macro-environment, for example, political, economic, social, and technological factors (as in PEST). 5. Identify the more important drivers. One technique for doing so is as follows. Assign each environmental variable two numerical ratings: one rating for its range of variation and another for the strength of its impact on the firm. Multiply these ratings together to arrive at a number that specifies the significance of each environmental factor. For example, consider the extreme case in which a variable had a very large range such that it might be rated a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 for variation, but in which the variable had very little impact on the firm so that the strength of impact rating would be a 1. Multiplying the two together would yield 10 out of a possible 100, revealing that the variable is not highly critical. After performing this calculation for all of the variables, identify the two having the highest significance. 6. Consider a few possible values for each variable, ranging between extremes while avoiding highly improbable values...

...Monomials and Polynomials A monomial is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables raised to natural number powers. Examples of monomials: [pic] The degree of monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables. If the monomial has only one variable, its degree is the exponent of that variable. The number in a monomial is called the coefficient of the monomial. Determine whether the expression is a polynomial. If it is, state how many terms and variables the polynomial contains and its degree. a. 9y2 + 7y + 4 b. 7x4 – 2x3y2 + xy – 4y3 c. [pic] Solution a. The expression is a polynomial with three terms and one variable. The term with the highest degree is 9y2, so the polynomial has degree 2. b. The expression is a polynomial with four terms and two variables. The term with the highest degree is 2x3y2, so the polynomial has degree 5. c.

...Mathematisch-statistische Ansätze zur Aktienkursprognose Seite 1 1 1.1 Einführung Ziel der Arbeit Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Einordnung, Darstellung, Erläuterung und Bewertung mathematisch-statistischer Verfahren zur Aktienkursprognose. In diesem Zusammenhang werden hierzu neben dem Fokus auf die Prognose von Aktienkursen bzw. -renditen auch die methodologischen Rahmenbedingungen der zugehörigen Finanzmarkttheorie sowie die grundsätzlichen Probleme bei der Anwendung von Prognoseverfahren auf Aktienkurszeitreihen angesprochen. 1.2 Einordnung der Thematik in den aktuellen Forschungsstand Verfahren zur Prognose von Aktienkursen werden schon seit Bestehen von Börsen und anderen Handelsplätzen diskutiert. Somit hat das Thema dieser Arbeit seine ideellen Wurzeln in der von Charles H. Dow begründeten Lable Dow Theorie, die die Technische Aktienanalyse um 1900 begründete. Durch die ab 1965 von Eugene F. Fama proklamierten Thesen informationseffizienter Kapitalmärkte, nach der technische Aktienanalysen wirkungslos sind, erlebte die Kursprognose einen ersten Rückschlag. Die Thematik dieser Arbeit ist der Technischen Aktienanalyse zuzuordnen – nicht zuletzt wurde aber genauso Kritik an den Thesen informationseffizienter Kapitalmärkte geübt, sodass sich diese Antithese in neuerer Zeit verweichlicht hat. Die empirische Kapitalmarktforschung bemüht in letzter Zeit Ansätze des Forschungsgebietes der Behavioral Finance, die versuchen, diese Thesen und real beobachtbare...

Now, I will using the graph and graph calculator, find the values of a1-b1 and b2-a2 and name them respectively SL and SR.

E-mail: seema.ssk83@yahoo.in 2Department of Mathematics, St. Francis De Sales College, Nagpur. E-mail: sujata_jana@yahoo.com Abstract: In this paper, we formulate and analyze a vector host epidemic model with non-monotonic incidence rates for vector and host both. We investigate the existence and stabilities of disease free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium. We prove that the disease reach to endemic state for the basic reproduction number greater than one the only possible equilibrium for basic reproduction number less than one is disease free equilibrium. We present numerical simulation to justify the theoretical results. Key words: vector borne disease, basic reproduction number, disease free equilibrium, endemic equilibrium, stability. 1 Introduction Parasites, viruses, or bacteria are transmitted by flies, mosquitoes, water snails, ticks and some other vectors amongst animals or people and cause the vector borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, yellow fever, West Nile fever, etc. Statement of WHO on World Health Day: Preventing vector born diseases shows that more than one billion people are infected and more than one million die from vector-borne diseases every year. WHO also highlights that vector born diseases are totally avoidable. Vector-borne diseases mostly invade the poorest population having lack of sanitation, safe drinking water...

...THE ACCOUNTING REVIEW Vol. 88, No. 2 2013 pp. 463–498 American Accounting Association DOI: 10.2308/accr-50318 Managerial Ability and Earnings Quality Peter R. Demerjian Emory University Baruch Lev New York University Melissa F. Lewis University of Utah Sarah E. McVay University of Washington ABSTRACT: We examine the relation between managerial ability and earnings quality. We find that earnings quality is positively associated with managerial ability. Specifically, more able managers are associated with fewer subsequent restatements, higher earnings and accruals persistence, lower errors in the bad debt provision, and higher quality accrual estimations. The results are consistent with the premise that managers can and do impact the quality of the judgments and estimates used to form earnings. Keywords: managerial ability; managerial efficiency; earnings quality; accruals quality. Data Availability: Data are publicly available from the sources identified in the text. I. INTRODUCTION W e examine the relation between managerial ability and earnings quality. We anticipate that superior managers are more knowledgeable of their business, leading to better judgments and estimates and, thus, higher quality earnings.1 Alternatively, the benefit We thank two anonymous reviewers, Asher Curtis, Patty Dechow, Ilia Dichev, Weili Ge, Marlene Plumlee, Phil Shane, Terry Shevlin, Wayne Thomas (editor), Ben Whipple, and workshop participants at the 2010 Kapnick Accounting Conference...
