Use the function f(x) = 2x3 - 6x2. Clearly mark your answer for each part.
Find the x and y intercepts. Give your answer as points.
State the intervals of increase and decrease.

State the local maximum and minimum points.

State the intervals of concave up and concave down.

What is the confirmatory test for ammonium ion, NH₄⁺?

Please use python3

Create the function team_average which has the following header

def team_average(filename):

This function will return the average number of games won by the Red Sox from a text file with entries like this

2011-07-02      Red Sox @  Astros       Win 7-5
2011-07-03      Red Sox @  Astros       Win 2-1
2011-07-04      Red Sox vs Blue Jays    Loss 7-9

This function should create a file object for the file whose name is given by the parameter filename.

If the file cannot be opened, use a try/except statement to print an error message and don't do any further work on the file.

The function will count the number of lines and the number of games the Red Sox won and use these values to compute the average games won by the team.

This average should be expressed as an integer.

Test Code

Your hw2.py file must contain the following test code at the bottom of the file

team_average('xxxxxxx')
print(team_average('red_sox.txt'))

For this test code to work, you must copy into your hw2 directory the file red_sox.txt from /home/ghoffman/course_files/it117_files.

To do this go to your hw2 directory and run cp /home/ghoffman/course_files/it117_files/red_sox.txt .

Suggestions

Write this program in a step-by-step fashion using the technique of incremental development.

In other words, write a bit of code, test it, make whatever changes you need to get it working, and go on to the next step.

1. Create the script hw2.py using nano or some other Unix text editor.
   Enter the header for team_average into the script.
   Under this header write the Python statement pass.
   Copy the test code above into the script.
   Make the script executable.
   Run the script.
   If all you see is None, proceed to the text step.
2. Remove the pass statement.
   In its place write the function code to open the file for reading.
   This code should print an error message and exit the function if the file cannot be opened for reading.
   Run the script.
   You should see

   Cannot open xxxxxxx
   None

3. Modify the function so it prints out the lines of the file.
4. Modify the function to use the split string method to create a list from the from the different fields in a line. Print this list.
5. For each line, get the value of the won_lost field and print it.
   This field is second to last entry in the list you created by using the split method.
   The lists will have different lengths, since some team have a single word as their name, and others have two words, e.g. White Sox.
   The easiest way to get the second to last field is to use a negative index.
   Print the value of won_lost field.
6. Comment out or delete the line that prints the won_lost field.
   Initialize an accumulator to count the number of lines.
   Increment this accumulator inside the for loop.
   Return the total number of lines.
7. Initialize an accumulator to count the number of Red Sox wins.
   In the for loop increment this accumulator every time the value of won_lost is "Win".
   Return the number of games won.
8. Change the return statement so it returns integer percent of the number of games the Sox won.

Output

When you run the completed script, you should see

Error: Unable to open xxxxxxx
76

1. Suppose that a large public university is experiencing a budget shortfall. They decide to increase tuition to try to make up for the difference. Last year (2017) the school charged out-of-state tuition of $18,000 and instate tuition of $8,000. The enrollment numbers for 2017 were 5,000 out-of-state students and 12,000 instate students. During the 2018 academic year tuition for out-of-state students increased to $20,000, and for in-state it increased to $9,000. The enrollment for 2018 dropped to 4,000 out-of-state and 11,000 instate students. a. (3 points) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for out-of-state students. Then calculate the price elasticity of demand for in-state students. (Round to 3 decimal places).

b. (2 points) Based on part a, how would you characterize demand for each group of students? Explain whether these results are what you would predict for this situation.

c. (2 point) Did this university make the right decision by raising each tuition rate? How could the administration use this information to maximize revenue?

The intensity of sound follows a pattern commonly referred to as an Inverse Square Law as supported by the intensity equation for a spherically uniform radiation. Explain what this means using examples of changing distance such as doubling, tripling and halving the distance, and what that does to the intensity. Describe in detail one other physical phenomena that obeys an inverse square law.
