Why is Budgeting and Tax Planning shown as the first component of a financial plan? Budgeting and tax planning form the foundation for other components of the financial plan. Retirement and estate planning only apply to those in later life stages. Almost every financial decision has a tax impact that must be taken into consideration. Lack of budgetary control will prevent the ability to save, acquire assets and pay expenses. Investment cannot occur without the ability to save. A primary financial objective should be to minimize one’s tax bill. I, II, III and IV I, III, IV and V II, IV, V and VI I, II, V and VI

The question is to use Matlab to find the clamped cubic spline v(x) that interpolates a function f(x) that satisfies: f(0)=0, f(1)=0.5, f(2)=2, f(3)=1.5, f'(0)=0.2, f'(3)=-1 and then plot v(x).

This is my code so far:

x = [0 1 2 3];

y = [0 0.5 2 1.5];

cs = spline(x,[0 y 0]);

xx = linspace(0,3,101);

figure()

plot(x,y,'o',xx,ppval(cs,xx),'-');

IS THIS RIGHT? HOW CAN I GET MATLAB TO GIVE ME THE EQUATION OF v(x)?

Let p be an odd prime (i.e., any prime other than 2). Form two vector spaces V₁, V₂ over F_p (prime field of order p) with bases corresponding to the edges and faces of an icosahedron (so that V₁ has dimension 30 and V2 has dimension 20). Let T : V₁ → V₂ be the linear transformation defined as follows: given a vector v ∈ V₁, T(v) is the vector in V₂ whose component corresponding to a given face is the sum of the components of v corresponding to the edges around that face. Prove that T is surjective. (Hint: one option is to look closely at the five edges emanating from a single vertex.)

A fixed number of moles of an ideal gas are kept in a container of volume V and an absolute temperature T.
If T doubles while V is held constant, the new net internal energy of the gas will be ________ times the original internal energy of the gas.

If T and V are both doubled, the new r.m.s. velocity of the molecules in the gas will be _________ times the original r.m.s. molecular velocity.

Which of the following are characteristics of

biological membranes?

(i) Membranes are fluid structures.

(ii) The sugar residues of membrane are always located on the external surface of plasma membranes.

(iii) The outer and inner surfaces of all known biological membranes have different components and different enzymatic activities, i.e., membranes are asymmetric.

(iv) Membrane fluidity is controlled by fatty acid composition and protein distribution.

(v) Membrane proteins and phospholipids can readily rotate within the membrane, from the inside to the outside surface.

Ball 1: m=1.8g, r=2cm & Ball 2: m=2.2g, r=2cm, Cylinder: V=24oz, m=17.2g

1) Find volume (V=4/3(pie)(r)^3) & density (p=m/V) for both balls

2) Find density of the cylinder

3) Draw free body diagrams of both balls on water (The upward force of the water on the ball is called the buoyant force)

4) Determine the net force on each ball. Show your work or explain your reasoning.

5) Determine the magnitude of the buoyant force on each ball, if possible. If not possible, explain why. Show your work.
