Lyft is a San Francisco-based ride-sharing business. Through its "Lyft Platform" mobile application, Lyft allows someone looking for auto transportation to request a ride. All people registered with the app as "drivers" who are nearby the requesting party's location at the time are notified through the app of the request. The first driver to accept the request is matched with the requesting party and proceeds to pick up the requesting party and drive him/her to the requested destination.

People who sign up as Drivers provide their availability to Lyft through the app; Drivers are expected to accept all incoming requests during that available time unless already fulfilling another rider's request. Lyft prohibits Drivers from transporting riders more than 60 miles from the origin of the ride. Riders pay a fee for the ride to Lyft directly through their credit card; Riders may choose to provide a tip to the Driver, which is processed through the Lyft app. Lyfttakes 20% of all gratuity payments as an administrative fee, and Drivers are not permitted to ask for such payments. Pursuant to Lyft's Terms of Service, Lyftis permitted to terminate Drivers for any reason and at any time; Lyft Drivers are required to place a large pink mustache on the front of their vehicles when transporting a rider; Drivers are not permitted to speak with Riders about Lyft fees or to set their own rates; Drivers go through a 1 hour training course; and Lyft reserves the right to examine Drivers' vehicles for cleanliness and appearance.

Based on what we learned in these chapters, what possible legal risks does Lyft have through this relationship? Can you make an argument that Lyft Drivers are "employees" of Lyft? This issue has been litigated in a few courts, so you are welcome to look up recent news articles or read the court opinions (because you know how to do that now!); please still try to relate back to the basics of this week's reading or lecture, and definitely cite all sources used.

Analyze each stress situation by applying the components of the ABC-X Model. (A=Stressor, the thing that's causing the stress, life events that result in or require a family to change, B=Resources, things that can help them take care of the stress, internal or external and range from tangible (money, education/degrees earned) to intangible (social support systems), C=Perception, how the family is perceiving the stress, (1) How does the family view or define the problem? and (2) What is their understanding of the situation that resulted in the problem?, X=Crisis, when a family cannot put the stress event into perspective in a way that lets them manage it effectively)

SCENARIO #3—The Jones Family David and Stacy have been living in a small town where David is employed with a local law firm. If David keeps progressing as he has, he’s expected to be named a partner in the near future. David has been working for the firm for several years and has been able to support Stacy while she pursues her medical degree at the local university. Stacy is one year from graduating with her degree, and she must decide where to go for her residency. She receives word from her top choice—Healthy Hospital—that she has been accepted for their residency program. However, Healthy Hospital is 800 miles away. She and David have to decide what to do. They know that they don’t want to spend four years apart, but neither one wants to give up on their goals.

Be sure to identify the A, B, C & X in each scenario

In some of the descriptions, it may not be clear as there could be multiple factors influencing the family. You can create "hypothetical" explanations for the possible A, B, C & X.

Discuss how communication can contribute to the reduction or resolution of the stressful situation experienced in each of the scenarios.

What recommendations would you offer to family members to resolve the impact of the stress? (not really Psychology but it's the closest subject)

C++

Project Organization

Create a project called Project1 and then name and organize the following programs under it.

Part 1 CircleArea

You are going to write a program to compute and output the area of a circle with a radius of 2.5.

Think through what you need to do:

Create a variable for radius

set it to 2.5

Create a variable for area

set it to 3.14159 * radius * radius

output the value of area

Challenge (not required)

Generalize this so that you can input any radius and the program will output the area for it.

Part 2 TicTacShmoe

Write a program that prints out three different tic tac toe winning results. Make each one bigger than the last, separated by more spaces and lines:

1 0 0

0 1 0

0 0 1

0 0 1

0 1 0

1 0 0

The goal is to give you practice with the cout statements in C++

Part 3 TriangleArea

Write a program called TriangleArea, which calculates and outputs the Area of a triangle with a Base value of 3.5 and a Height value of 4.85. The formula for the area of a triangle is: 1/2 ×???? × ????ℎ?.

Your program should output correct answer.

Part 4 MilesToKilometers

Write a program that will tell me the conversion of 60 miles, into kilometers. Remember that 1 mile is 1.60934 kilometers.

Part 5 MyInitials

Write a sequence of cout statements to display your initials (2 – 3 letters) using a cool pattern for each letter.

>My Initial is BL

For example, here is a simple pattern for the initials IL:

II LL

II LL

II LL

II LL

II LL

II LL

II LL

II LL LL LL LL

Use around 8 cout statements to complete this exercise.

Part 6 DoubleUp

Write a program that ask the user to input a number. Then tell them, What double up is. For example, if the user inputs a 7, the program should output ~Double up is 14~

The city of Seattle sells an average of 30,000 hotel rooms per night. Currently, those rooms have an average tax of $90. The city proposed an additional tax of $10 per room to help finance a stadium. Economists believe that without the tax, the city would average an extra 4000 rooms per night due to the new stadium. But with the tax, the number of rooms sold would fall to 27,000 even with the stadium. Based on these numbers, would it be smarter for the city to charge the proposed tax, or to use tax incremental financing to pay for the stadium?

. Root depth for grasses and shrubs in a type of soil known as glacial outwash was studied in Yellowstone National Park. It was found that the root depth in this type of soil is a normally distributed random variable with standard deviation 8.94 inches. (a) In a proposed study region of glacial outwash, how many plants should be carefully dug up and studied to be 90% sure that the sample mean root depth is within 0.5 inches of the population root depth? (b) How many to be 90% sure that it is within 0.25 inches? (Is there any obvious relationship to the answer of part (a)?

Dizzy Inc. is the only operator of themed amusement parks (DizzyWorld). Dizzy’s production function (which, oddly, relies only on labor) is given by:

Q = 60L^0.5

Dizzy pays its workers w = $12. Consumer demand for admission to DizzyWorld is given by: QD = 24,000 – 200P

1a) Find Dizzy Inc’s profit-maximizing quantity (number of theme park admissions)

1b)  Find what price Dizzy will charge to attain this level of demand?

1c)  Compare (using SPECIFIC NUMBERS) the Monopoly P and Q with the outcomes form a perfectly competitive market

True or false:

1) If a nation is selling more goods and services to foreigners than it is buying from them, then on net it must be selling assets abroad.

2) It is possible for a country to have domestic investment that exceeds national saving.

3) If a country’s trade surplus falls, its net capital outflow rises.

4) If the exchange rate is 80 yen per dollar, then a hotel room in Tokyo that costs 25,000 yen costs $200.

5) Other things the same, an increase in the nominal exchange rate raises the real exchange rate.
