...* 1 Lesson: Linear Models and the Distributive Property Write an Expression Using the Distributive Property over Multiplication Some expressions representing real-world situations can be easily written in the form [[ a bx+c ]]. When solving problems with expressions written in this form, you will use the distributive property over multiplication. Example: You and your friend are selling raffle tickets for the local rotary club. Tickets are sold for $2 each. Your friend has already sold 100 tickets, and you are going to sell the remaining tickets. Write an expression for the total amount made from raffle ticket sales. In this problem, you are comparing two quantities: the number of tickets that you sell and the total amount of money made from ticket sales. In the first row of the table, write the column headings to describe the two quantities. The number of tickets that you sell is measured in tickets and the total amount of money made from ticket sales is measured in dollars. In the second row of the table, write the units used to measure each quantity. The problem states that the tickets are sold for $2 each and your friend has already sold 100 tickets. Use a variable, such as [[x ]], to represent the number of tickets that you sell. You can determine the total amount of money made from ticket sales by multiplying the total number of tickets sold, [[100+x ]], by the cost of each ticket, 2. The expression [[ 2100+x ]] represents the total amount of money made from ticket...

...com) ABSTRACT Through this paper we report a new atomic force microscope (AFM)-based data storage concept called the “Millipede” that has a potentially ultrahigh density, terabit capacity, small form factor, and high data rate. Its potential for ultrahigh storage density can be used as a technique to store and read back data in very thin polymer films. With this new technique, 3040-nm-sized bit indentations of similar pitch size have been made by a single cantilever/tip in a thin (50-nm) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layer, resulting in a data storage density of 400-500 Gb/in.2 High data rates are achieved by parallel operation of large two-dimensional (2D) AFM arrays that have been batch-fabricated by silicon surface-micromachining techniques. The very large scale integration (VLSI) of micro devices (cantilevers/tips) on a single chip leads to the largest and densest 2D array of 32 x 32 (1024) AFM cantilevers with integrated write/read storage functionality ever built. Timemultiplexed electronics control the write/read storage cycles for parallel operation of the Millipede array chip. Initial areal densities of 100-200 Gb/in.2 have been achieved with the 32 × 32 array chip, which has potential for further improvements. In addition to data storage in polymers or other media, and not excluding magnetics, we envision areas in nanoscale science and technology such as lithography, high-speed/large-scale imaging, molecular and atomic manipulation, and many others in which Millipede...

...chapter focuses on how accountants should write and how it affects your work and problem solving. It is important to keep in mind that writing is essential to accountants. Accountants have to be able to read and write on an everyday basis. For example tax accountants have to write memos to describe the results that they found and at times they must write letters to the internal revenue service for their clients. Auditors for example have to write memos to file in the audit working papers that are essential to any audit. After the audit is completed auditors must be able to write a letter to management advising them on any changes that should be made. Accountants at times have the responsibility to write footnote disclosures in financial statements and at times accountants were using very technical language. This resulted in many investors being misinformed due to the fact that not ever investor is an accountant. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a disclosure rule that stated to write these notes in “plain English.” They are seven tips that writers recommend for business writing. These seven are content, critical thinking, appropriateness for readers, conciseness, clarity, coherence, and revision. By content the writers mean the information you are writing must be accurate and relevant. Critical thinking the writers mean that you must analyze a problem in all aspects and not be biased to one side or opinion. The next tip is appropriateness for readers which mean...

...The article Tree Well Danger talks about Mychaela Nickoloff’s experience with powder and the dangers of powder that he encountered. Tree wells are a big danger to powder riders one tip Nickoloff gives is to never go off the trail by yourself. Stick with the people you are boarding with to avoid being stranded if one happens to get stuck in a tree well. In the article it explained what to do if you got caught in a tree well, “Digging your snowboard into the snow to turn around, bear hugging trees, or clinging onto branches…” (Nicloloff). By doing these things it allows you to stay up and your top half out of the snow, which makes your chances of getting out much higher (Nicloloff). In addition to this article another source titled, “How to Stay Alive In Deep Powder Snow” has more tips on what to do if caught in a tree well. Robert Cadman who wrote this article informs people to stay calm if cough in a tree well. Struggling is going to make it worse by making the snow fall off branches making it more difficult to get out. He advises to slowly rock back and forth making room for you to breath. Also always going with a buddy making sure someone knows where you have been if an accident like this is to occur...

...will help. I’m going to explain what each stage of the writing process involves, and I’ll offer some tips for each section that will help out if you’re still feeling stuck! 1. Prewriting Have you ever sat staring at a blank piece of paper or a blank document on your computer screen? You might have skipped the vital first stage of the writing process: prewriting. This covers everything you do before starting your rough draft. As a minimum, prewriting means coming up with an idea! Ideas and Inspiration Ideas are all around you. If you want to write but you don’t have any ideas, try: * Using a writing prompt to get you started. * Writing about incidents from your daily life, or childhood. * Keeping a notebook of ideas – jotting down those thoughts that occur throughout the day. * Creating a vivid character, and then writing about him/her. See also How to Generate Hundreds of Writing Ideas. Tip: Once you have an idea, you need to expand on it. Don’t make the mistake of jumping straight into your writing – you’ll end up with a badly structured piece. Building on Your Idea These are a couple of popular methods you can use to add flesh to the bones of your idea: * Free writing: Open a new document or start a new page, and write everything that comes into your head about your chosen topic. Don’t stop to edit, even if you make mistakes. * Brainstorming: Write the idea or topic in the center of your page. Jot down ideas that arise from it – sub-topics or directions...

...business and not the person who receives them own tips. However, tips are later shared in full between the staff. Rebecca's tips handed to her by diners during the year were $1050, but the restaurant manager only gave her $230. As this was cash, she does not believe any of it is required to be disclosed on her tax return. Is that correct? If not, how much should she declare her income in tax return in regards to the tips she received? Answer: Usually, Australian employment laws do not treat tips from customers as part of your employee’s salary or wages. However, any tips they obtain and retain, either straight from customers or distributed by employers, must be stated as a taxable income if they need to file an income tax return. If employees pay their tips to employer’s, they only need to report as income the amount of tips they keep and that employers distribute tips back to their employees .However under income tax law Rebecca needs to report their tips as income from working under the “Allowances, earnings, tips, director's fees, etc.”, on their income tax return. There may be different types of expenditures of income from working as waitress for Rebeca in a busy restaurant. These may include: * Allowances payments from which tax was not withheld, including salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, income earned from part-time and casual jobs, and income from income protection, sickness and accident insurance policies. * tips, gratuities and payments for your services. ...
