Search the Internet for a tax calculator. Some calculators figure the income taxes you would pay if our country had a flat tax. Others calculate taxes based on today's system and rates. If you have a job, enter numbers based on your earnings. Estimate any numbers you don't have. Then enter different income levels to see how the tax changes as income rises. Based on these calculations, summarize what you learned about the tax system in one or two paragraphs.

Write a program that calculates how much a student organization earns during its fund-raising candy sale. The program should prompt the user to enter the number of candy bars sold and the amount the organization earns for each bar sold. It should then calculate and display the total amount earned.

What are the options for the production planner who has a consistent lack of capacity in that work center?

Divide and simplify.

Prove that Simpson's Rule is exact when approximating the integral of a cubic polynomial function, and demonstrate the result for $\int_0^1 x^3 d x, n=2$.

Triangle Heron's formula gives a method of finding the area of a triangle if the lengths of its sides are known. Suppose that $a, b$, and $c$ are the lengths of the sides. Let $s$ denote one-half of the perimeter of the triangle (called the semiperimeter); that is,

$$s=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c) .$$

Then the area $A$ of the triangle is given by

$$A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} .$$

Find the area of the Bermuda Triangle, if the "sides" of this triangle measure approximately $850$ miles, $925$ miles, and $1300$ miles. Give your answer to the nearest thousand square miles.

The financial crisis that began in 2008 was caused by a speculative bubble in home prices amidst far too much debt. As home prices fell, the excessive debt of families, banks, and other financial institutions became obvious. People spent less and tried to save or simply survive for those who had lost their jobs and homes. Corporations cut costs by laying off workers and rapidly slowing the inventory flowing in global supply chains. Home builders built far fewer homes and tried to quickly reduce debt. Banks made fewer loans and credit became very difficult to obtain. As the losses mounted, stock markets fell sharply. By the end of 2008 , many governments around the world reacted to prevent another Great Depression similar to the one that occurred in the 1930s.

To keep the economic systems working, the U.S. government has spent several trillion dollars to support failing financial institutions and banks, extend unemployment benefits, increase employment, and support the sales of cars and homes. When it appeared that Countrywide Financial (home loans) and Merrill Lynch (investments) were in serious trouble, the U.S. government helped broker deals in which Bank of America took over both firms with the help of government loans and guarantees. However, Bank of America repaid the $\$ 45$ billion in debt to the government at the end of 2009.

To demonstrate the effect of the recent financial crisis, we will use a small custom home builder called Horizon Homes which used Bank of America.

(a) Find the combined loss by adding the losses in 2008 and 2009. (b) Find the present value that needed to be set aside in 1996 assuming $6 \%$ compounded annually to offset the total losses for 2008 and 2009. Hint: For simplicity, assume that the total of the two years losses occurred in 2009.

b. environmental factors

c. the deliberate construction of biased tests

d. the use of culture-free tests

Consider the radial field $\mathbf { F } = \langle f , g \rangle = \frac { \langle x , y \rangle } { \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } } } = \frac { \mathbf { r } } { | \mathbf { r } | }$.

Evaluate the line integral in the flux form of Green’s Theorem on the boundary of R.

Find the common ratio for each geometric sequence.

$\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{8},-\frac{1}{16}, \ldots$

Perform each of the following steps.
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless the $\mathrm{P}$-value method is specified by your instructor
Youth Smoking Researchers suspect that 18% of all high school students smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day. At Wilson High School, a randomly selected sample of $300$ students found that $50$ students smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day. At $\alpha=0.05$, test the claim that less than $18 \%$ of all high school students smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day. Use the $P$-value method.
d. Make the decision.
