Sketch the wave-function of the ground state of a particle of mass m which is con- fined in one dimension within a square potential well of infinite height, centred at x = 0 and of width a between x = ?a/2 and x = a/2.

What type of function is that?

If the infinite potential well is replaced by a potential well of finite height, sketch the new ground state wave-function. Explain qualitatively how the ground state energy changes in going to the finite well.

Consider a three-year project with the following information: initial fixed asset investment = $885,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the five-year life; zero salvage value; price = $34.65; variable costs = $22.85; fixed costs = $213,000; quantity sold = 99,000 units; tax rate = 40 percent.

What is the OCF at the base-case quantity sold?

What is the OCF at 100,000 units sold?

How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold?

Suppose that a block can contain at most four data values and that all data values are integers. Using only B+ trees of degree 2, give examples of each of the following :

a. A B+ tree whose height changes from 2 to 3 when the value 42 is inserted. Show your structure before and after the insertion.

b. A B+ tree in which the deletion of the value 42 leads to a redistribution. Show your structure before and after the deletion
