1. A projectile is fired upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 300 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, the height of the projectile at any time t can be described by the polynomial function P(t) = 16t2 + 300ta. Find the height of the projectile when t = 1 second. b. Find the height of the projectile when t = 5 seconds. c. How long will it be until the object hits the ground? 2. A board has length (3x4 + 6x2 18) meters and width of 2x + 1 meters. The board is cut into three pieces of the same length. a. Find the length of each piece. b. Find the area of each piece. c. Find the area of the board before it is cut. d. How is the area of each piece of the board related to the area of the board before it is cut? 3. A cubic equation has zeros at 2, 1, and 3. a. Write an equation for a polynomial function that meets the given conditions. b. Draw the graph of a polynomial function that meets the given conditions. 4. Alice was having a conversation with her friend Trina, who had a discovery to share: Pick any two integers. Look at the sum of their squares, the difference of their squares, and twice the product of the two integers you chose. Those three numbers are the sides of a right triangle. a. Write an equation that models this conjecture using the variables x and y. b. Investigate this conjecture for at least three pairs of integers. Does her trick appear to work in all cases, or only in some cases? Explain. c. Use Trina’s trick to find an example of a right triangle in which all of the sides have integer length, all three sides are longer than 100 units, and the three side lengths do not have common factors. BONUS: If Trina’s conjecture is true, use the equation found in part a to prove the conjecture. If it is not true, modify it so it is a true statement, and prove the new statement.

 use the edTPA Assessment Rubrics in the edTPA Special Education Handbook to evaluate a completed portfolio by a former student teacher. The portfolio items you will review are in LiveText and are titled “edTPA Special Education (SPE) Portfolio Evaluation.” Begin this assignment by reviewing the edTPA Special Education Handbook. In the handbook you will see explanations of what should be addressed in each of the three edTPA Tasks: (a) Planning Task 1: Planning for Instruction and Assessment; (b) Instruction Task 2: Instructing and Engaging the Focus Learner; and (c) Assessment Task 3: Assessing Learning. You will also see the Assessment Rubrics Pearson will use to evaluate each component of each task. Carefully review the Assessment Rubrics for each task to familiarize yourself with how each component of each task is evaluated. Using the edTPA Special Education Portfolio Evaluation Template, review the edTPA Special Education portfolio items from the sample portfolio and evaluate each component of each task using the Pearson evaluation rubrics in the edTPA Special Education Handbook. For each evaluation item in the template, write a brief but rich narrative supporting/evidencing your rationale for the evaluation level you selected for each criterion. After completing your evaluation and justification, reflect on the following: (a) What did you learn about edTPA? (b) What is the “big idea” behind edTPA? (c) What is the relationship between developing an IEP for a student and the process of planning (Task 1), teaching (Task 2), and assessing (Task 3) student performance in the classroom?

Apply the four elements of a crisis communication plan and other resources to any one of a number of serious circumstances when presenting a plan to an organization's internal crisis management team.  Scenarios Read through the options and choose one of the scenarios below for this assignment. The scenario statements provide a glimpse into the circumstance, but you will need to customize it for your crisis.

Amidst this time of tragic loss, our focus right now is on supporting the people closest to [him/her], our employees, and all of those affected by [his/her] passing. [Insert name], who had the benefit of working closely with [name], will be serving as interim [Title of deceased]. Scenario 4: Unexpected Loss of CEO/Executive (Unexpectedly Quits/Resigns): [Name of employee] has resigned from [his/her] former position at [company] as [title], effective [date]. [Name] will assume the position of [title] on an [interim/permanent] basis. We believe this transition will aid us in achieving our mission as a company. We wish nothing but the best for [resigned employee] and [his/her] successful and prosperous future, and we thank [him/her] for [his/her] [months/years/decades] of dedicated service to [company]. Scenario 5: Unexpected Loss of CEO/Executive (Removed from Role): [Company] can confirm [employee] is parting ways with the company, effective [date]. [Optional: If this termination is due to a public crisis, such as harassment or illegal activity, mention that his/her behavior was unacceptable at the company, and to protect the integrity of your company, he/she was removed from his/her position].  We have officially named [name] as [interim/permanent] [title]. We believe this transition will aid us in achieving our mission as a company. [Optional: If this termination is due to a public crisis, such as harassment or illegal activity, mention that the company is actively reviewing the situation and what steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again]. Instructions Create a presentation that will be delivered to the internal crisis management team.

Note also how the recommended statement is persuasive to achieve the desired outcome. Articulate final messaging for internal and external stakeholders. Demonstrate confidentiality and address the role of legal in your crisis communication plan. Include two or three resources in your references list with at least one from the Wall Street Journal. Refer to the "Crisis Communication and Reputation Management: Response Strategy Roadmap" and watch the videos, "Judy Smith on Responding to a Crisis" and "Watch Judy Smith Speak at Fortune's MPW Summit - Fortune Most Powerful Women," located in topic Resources, to provide guidance when addressing your selected situation.             http://groundfloormedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/GFM-crisis-roadmap-020221.pdf  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g752D0LN5yE  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL6WL60_O0Q
