The Japanese harvester beetle has infected several forests in the Northwest. Official estimates are that 17% of trees are infected. You are a park ranger who has been seeing a lot of these beetles lately, and you think the rate is higher in your area. You check 400 trees around your cabin and find that 79 of them are infected.

Write a creative story to tell about the journey of a jogger from one location in a park to another location. Make up some events and experiences that the jogger goes through on his/her journey. Tell what happens to the jogger throughout the journey (e.g., being chased by a dog or having to slow down for a parade, etc.) As you tell the story, use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration and explain how and why these values change for the jogger as he/she goes through different parts of his/her trip. Your story can be creative and funny or serious as long as you use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration. Make sure that the story conveys the meanings of these terms and the differences between them.

At the Doha Zoo, access to the public is organized as follows:
There are five employees at the entrance who sell entry passes to everyone who is not subscribed and be allowed to enter,
As for subscribers, they only display the membership card on entry. At the end of the day, one of the employees delivers cash to the cashier, the treasurer counts the cash received and places the cash in the designated treasury.
At the end of the week, the cashier deposits the cash in the bank according to the deposit slip. The deposit slip is used in the journal Cash Receipts,
Also, the treasurer is the one who certifies the payment of garden expenses and is the one who pays the expenses.
The park administration discovered the need to improve the internal control system of the cash receipts system

Kim is a 27-year-old woman who recently moved from a small
town in Texas to work in the city of Dallas as a reporter for one
of the major newspapers. She is 5’6” tall and weighs 115 lb. To
keep in shape she likes to jog, which she did regularly in her
hometown. She doesn’t know anyone in Dallas and has been
lonely for her family since arriving. But she has moved into a
small apartment in a quiet neighborhood and hopes to meet
young people soon though her work and church.
On the first Saturday morning after she moved into her new
apartment, Kim decided to get up early and go jogging. It was
still dark out, but Kim was not afraid. She had been jogging
alone in the dark many times in her hometown. She donned her
jogging clothes and headed down the quiet street toward a nearby
park. As she entered the park, an individual came out from a
dense clump of bushes, put a knife to her throat, and ordered her
to the ground. She was raped and beaten unconscious. She
remained in that condition until sunrise when she was found by
another jogger who called emergency services, and Kim was
taken to the nearest emergency department. Upon regaining
consciousness, Kim was hysterical, but a sexual assault nurse
examiner (SANE) was called to the scene, and Kim was assigned
to a quiet area of the hospital, where the post-rape examination
was initiated.
Answer the following questions related to Kim:
1. What are the initial nursing interventions for Kim?
2. What treatments must the nurse ensure that Kim is aware
are available for her?
3. What nursing diagnosis would the nurse expect to focus on
with Kim in follow-up care?

You are planning on flying out of an airport on a trip. The airport parking garage charges $6 per day for the first four days, $4 per day for the next three days and $2 per day thereafter. A parking garage just outside the airport charges $5 per day and provides a free shuttle to the airport. When is it more cost-effective to park at the airport parking garage?
Your solution MUST include responses to ALL four parts. a) Understand the problem. Restate the problem in your own words. What do you know from the reading the problem? What are you looking for? What type of problem is this? What is needed in order to solve the problem?
b) Make a plan. State your plan for solving this problem. You may use words or diagrams. You might want to consider making a table, drawing a diagram, looking for a pattern, or building an equation or model.
c) Implement your plan. Once you have articulated your plan, carry out your plan. Using the information given, create mathematical model, an equation that you can use to determine when it will be more cost-effective to park at the airport parking garage. Clearly indicate how you arrived at that answer. Show your work! (*Even if using a calculator, discuss how and why you took the steps you did, not just what buttons you pushed.)
d) Look back. Is your answer reasonable? Can you find a way to check your work? Interpret your results. Remember that you have multiple representations – words, tables, graphs, and equations. Can you find another way to look at this problem that would allow you to check that your solution is correct? Interpret the answers in the context of the original application.

1. Airbnb has housed over 150 million guests in over 65,000 cities since 2008. Do a bit of research on what Airbnb is and how cities and the hotel industry has been responding to it. Draw a supply and demand graph, model the labor market for hotel workers, pre-Airbnb, and show how Airbnb has likely affected the market.
2. We all love to go to little, local ice cream shops. Many of these places hire teenagers over the summer to serve these delicious treats for us. Suppose that a new minimum wage bill comes online this summer, raising the minimum to $10/hour. Create two graphs: 1) model the market for these ice cream shop workers and how shop owners will likely respond to the minimum wage increase immediately after it happens; 2) model what would happen if a company starts using very cheap robot ice cream servers... how does it affect the market for teenage servers. Explain in your paragraph what is going on and give arguments why your graph is reasonable.
3. Many parts of the U.S. have a shortage of IT workers... not enough people are trained in these fields. Model the market for IT workers. What would happen if a new training program was targeted toward people in Appalachia who have a hard time finding work... the program trains this group to be IT technicians. Does it lead to more employment in IT?
4. You are looking at the labor market for young, childless males seeking work with low-paying employers (i.e. Wal-Mart). With a supply and demand graph, show the effects of expanding the EITC to these workers. Illustrate an initial equilibrium (before EITC), the shift due to the new EITC expansion, and point out the wage they get paid from the employer and the additional “pay” they get due to the EITC.
