Projects can have cash flows where there are two sign changes of the cash flows. This creates issues with the mathematics used to solve the problems. You need to be aware of this issue and know where you could look to solve a problem with these types of cash flows (which are not that unusual).

Select a project from work or another project you are familiar with and discuss the project details (conceptually, this is not an analytical number crunching exercise).

Be sure to include what in the project creates and results in the issues that would cause the multiple roots. How many potential roots does your project have?

Consider how the intensity of light changes as it passes between two Polaroid disks at different angles to each other. (For this scenario, suppose that the polaroid closest to the light source remains fixed with the zero degree marking pointing straight up. Therefore, the second Polaroid disk is the one being rotated, and the angles for the graph should be the angle between the zero degree marking of the first disk and the position of the second disk. )

a. With intensity on the y axis, and angle in 45 degree increments on the x axis, sketch a graph of how the intensity of a light varies under various orientations of the two disks.

b. What is the mathematical relationship here? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

c. Based on the fact that the intensity of a light wave is proportional to the square of the electric field magnitude, explain why the transmitted intensity should have this mathematical dependence on the angle.

Normative changes in cognitive function are expected with increasing age. Research on the relationship between normative cognitive decline and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SED) needs further investigation in Hispanic/Latinos adults. We assessed the association between accelerometer assessed MVPA and SED with cognitive function in 7,478 adults aged 45-74years from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. At baseline, cognitive tests included two executive function tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), a test of language (Word Fluency), and a test of memory (Spanish English Verbal Learning Test). Multiple regression models were used to examine associations of time spent in MVPA and SED with cognitive function by age groups, adjusted for age, education, sex, acculturation, and field center. Mean time spent in sedentary behaviors was 12.3 hours/day in females and 11.9 hours/day in males. Higher SED, but not MVPA, was associated with lower DSST raw scores (β -0.03 with each 10-min increment in SED; P<0.05), indicating lower performance in executive function in all age groups. No associations were observed for MVPA and SED with tests of language or memory tests. Our findings suggest a distinct association of SED but not MVPA on executive functioning in middle-aged and older Latino adults. Further studies are needed to more conclusively determine causal links.
