3. (Even or Odd) Write method IsEven that uses the remainder operator (%) to determine whether an integer is even. The method should take an integer argument and return true if the integer is even and false otherwise. Incorporate this method into an application that inputs a sequence of integers (one at time) and determines whether each is even or odd. (C# please)

What do you know about Facebook? Think about the company and try to decide what business they are in. How would you describe that? This is important since the company looking to acquire another company in our case is modeled in part after Facebook.

Construct a PDA that matches all strings in the language over {x,y} such that each string has at least twice as many y's as x's.

Below, give a short description of the set of strings associated with each state of your PDA.

- Refer to the Par Insights, Inc. example in your textbook. A competitor firm DLS Apps, Inc. decides to enter the market for apps made for teenagers and children. Their Production Supervisor analyzed each of the operations and concluded that if the company produces apps for children, each app would require 8 hours in the theme creation department, 12 hours in the graphics and imaging department, 4 hours in the educational content department, 6 hours in the coding department, and 5 hours in the testing and launching department. On the other hand, each app for teenagers would require 4 hours in the theme creation department, 15 hours in the graphics and imaging department, 15 hours in the educational content department, 10 hours in the coding department, and 2 hours in the testing and launching department. After studying the departmental workload projections, the Production Supervisor estimates that 100 hours for theme creation, 250 hours for graphics and imaging, 200 hours for the educational content creation, 150 hours of coding and 50 hours for the testing and launching are available for the production of the new apps during the next four months. The accounting department analyzed the costs based on the production data and overheads and arrived at prices for the apps that will result in a profit contribution of $10,000 per children’s app and $15,000 per teenager app produced. The CEO asserts that to be successful in the long run, at least 5 children’s apps must be launched in the next four months. The management is trying to identify how many apps of each type should they launch in the next four months and have hired you to help them figure out what the optimal solution would be and what the expected profits would be.

1. Write out the Linear Program (equations)

2. Provide the optimal solution, either graphically or by using Excel Solver. What is the total expected profit? How many apps of each type would you recommend that they make?

3. Identify which constraints are binding.

4. Which department has the highest slack? How much?

5. If the company was able to obtain 5 more hours in the coding department, would the profit change? Explain why or why not.

Fred and Barney are fishermen who operate fishing ships out of Nantucket. They own similar ships that can each

carry a day’s catch of 800 pounds of cod. Marginal costs of fishing are constant at $4 per pound (for simplicity,

assume they have no fixed -- or sunk -- costs). For the current discussion, assume that Fred and Barney are the only

fishermen and that the aggregate demand for Nantucket cod is characterized by the demand function Q = 1600 -

100P, where P is the price per pound of cod and Q is in pounds of cod. This corresponds to an inverse demand

function of P = 16 - .01Q, where Q = qF+ qB. Finally, the fish market operates in the following manner: fishermen go

out in the morning and catch fish, then they return to the dock and drop the catch on the dock. Customers gather

around and a market-clearing price is announced, at which point sales commence.

(f) If Barney expects Fred to catch qF, what is Barney’s best response function BRB(qF)?

(g) Using the fact that each fisherman’s equilibrium catch is a best response to the other’s, solve for the equilibrium

catch sizes qBCN and qFCN

(h) What will be the resulting price?

(i) Show that each fisherman’s Cournot duopoly profits will be $1600.

Laboratory 11B: Methyl Orange

1) What changes to the synthetic sequence used for methyl orange would need to be made to generate FD&C Orange #1 (see lab manual for the structure). (Some structure drawings will be helpful when answering this question).

2) Some fabrics stained strongly with methyl orange while others stained poorly. Using one of the strongly stained fabrics as an example, explain what features of that material result in it being strongly stained.

3) Explain why methyl orange changes color at different pH.

In one or two paragraphs, please discuss how Fed Reserve’s interest rate policy will influence Stock and Bond markets.

Write a PHP script that checks a word or a phrase (stored in a string variable) to determine if it is a standard palindrome, a perfect palindrome, or not a palindrome at all. Also, for each letter that the word/phrase contains, count and print the number of times that each consonant and vowel is encountered. Your output will look as follows:

Word/phrase: racecar

Perfect palindrome

Contains consonants:

r - 2

c - 2

Contains vowels:

a - 2

e - 1

Willowbrook School

Chapter 12

Willowbrook School is a small private school that has retained your services as a systems analyst

to assist in the development of a new information system for the school’s administrative needs.

Background

After implementation of a new system, it moves into the support phase of the SDLC. The system

at Willowbrook has been up and running for five months now, and things are moving reasonably

smoothly. Willowbrook is pleased with the system’s ability to

handle registration and some

of the school’s other administrative and financial tasks.

You have been asked to contract

for ongoing support services on an as needed basis. The school would like to arrange for support

services in such a way that your time is used as efficiently as possible because their budget for

support is small.

Tasks

4.

You decide to prepare a security checklist for Willowbrook. Prepare a list of security

issues that the firm should evaluate and monitor. Be sure to organize the items into

categories that match the six security levels
