1. Solve a function (e​ .g.​, y(x) = sin(x) / (sin(x/10) + x/10) for many different values of x between a user-defined min and max, and store the values in a list. Also, print the maximum value of y(x) for the given range.

2. Find the list in a list-of-lists whose sum of elements is the highest, and print the sum and list to the user.

e.g., [[1, 2], [2, 5], [3, 2]] → [2,5] with a sum of 7.

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 45.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a hillside 3.25 s later. Neglect air friction. (Assume that the +x-axis is to the right and the +y-axis is up along the page.)

(a) What is the projectile's velocity at the highest point of its trajectory?

(b) What is the straight-line distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hits its target?

The Four Loves by C.S Lewis

1. Define “gift-love” and “need-love” (1). Which is more like God? What problem does Lewis run into when he tries to determine which is best? (2-4)

2. Explain the difference between ‘nearness-by-likeness’ and ‘by- approach’ (4-5). How does the distinction guard help us guard against the tendency of “every human love, at its highest ... to claim for itself a divine authority” (7-8)?

A stunt pilot in an air show performs a loop-the-loop in a vertical circle of radius 3.80* 10^3 m. During this performance the pilot whose weight is 644 N, maintains a constant speed of 2.05 *10^2 m/s.

(a) When the pilot is at the highest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N.

(b) At what speed, in m/s, will the pilot experience weightlessness?

(c) When the pilot is at the lowest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N. N

Priya Industries, a software manufacturer, uses the periodic inventory system. They had the following transactions for the month of June: Beginning Inventory 400 units @ $32 per unit Purchase #1 420 units @ $33 per unit Purchase #2 480 units @ $35 per unit Purchase #3 500 units @ $37 per unit Purchase #4 550 units @ $39 per unit Priya sold 1,330 units throughout the period. Required: 1. Calculate the a) Ending Inventory and b) Cost of Goods Sold, assuming that the company uses the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method. 2. Calculate the a) Ending Inventory and b) Cost of Goods Sold, assuming that the company uses the First-in, First-out (FIFO) inventory valuation method. 3. Calculate the a) Ending Inventory and b) Cost of Goods Sold, assuming that the company uses the Average Cost inventory valuation method. 4. Which inventory valuation method produces the highest Net Income? Which method produces the highest Ending Inventory? Which method reduces taxes? 5. What method would Priya Industries most likely use for the physical flow of the inventory? (This means, how would they physically move the inventory out of their warehouse). Why?

Ever Increasing Hospital Pharmacy Costs

Each year, hospital executives are faced with the same daunting task of finding ways to tighten the budget belt one more notch. It's a sign of the times against looming — and in some cases significant — reimbursement cuts from Medicare and a regulatory backdrop demanding more for less.

Historically, the pharmacy department represents one of a hospital's highest cost centers. Keeping pace with rising drug costs and staffing needs account for the majority of the pharmacy budget and are the main drivers of annual requests for increases. However, while the clinical side of the house focuses on gaining access to medical advances and newer, more effective drug treatments, the finance department is focused on, at best, maintaining the status quo in terms of pharmacy spending.

It's a double-edged sword. New regulations and quality expectations are requiring that pharmacies allocate more resources to ensure that appropriate initiatives are in place that promote the highest level of patient care and safety. At the same time, the pharmacy represents a prime area of focus for improving cost efficiencies and benchmarks for appropriate reimbursement.

Going forward, hospital pharmacies will have to improve operational practices to ensure staff time is used for the most optimal tasks. What would you suggest as some options/solutions? Answer should be 3 pages long .

Consider the following data:

Step 1 of 4 :  

Determine the three-period moving average for the next time period. If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 2 of 4 :  

Determine the three-period weighted moving average for the next time period with weights of 3 (most recent), 2 (second latest time period), and 1 (oldest time period). If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 3 of 4 :  

Determine the exponential smoothing forecast for the next time period (October - 14) using a smoothing constant of 0.20. If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 4 of 4:

Based on the MAPE scores, which forecast is best?

(a) Exponential smoothing, because the MAPE score is lowest.

(b) Three-period moving average, because the MAPE score is lowest.

(c) Three-period moving average, because the MAPE score is highest.

(d) Exponential smoothing, because the MAPE score is highest.
