Math 150A Project.
In the prerequisite classes for calculus, we learn many rules (formulas) and gain
some intuition. Use calculus to prove or derive the following ideas learned or understood
in earlier classes. (25 points)
Now pick at least 2 of the questions below and write a paper detailing the algebra,
trigonometry or geometry involved in the problem. You will need to reference algebra,
trigonometry or geometry text books to do this. Discuss the aspects of the problem you
choose at the prerequisite level and then discuss the calculus that helped you complete the
project problem (I will give an example of this discussion in class). Your paper should be
2 pages and written in APA or MLA format. (25 points)
All aspects of this project should be typed and points will be awarded based on
correctness, completeness and presentation (neat not fancy).
ALGEBRA
1. Quadratic functions are written in the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. minimizing or
maximizing this function is done by finding the vertex. Use calculus to derive the
formula used to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.
2. H(t) = -16t2 + vt + s gives a function that gives the height of an object in feet
relative to time in seconds. Use calculus to derive the function where the initial
velocity of a projectile is v and initial height is s.
3. On a circle, any tangent line is perpendicular to the radius that intersects the circle
at the point of tangency. Use calculus to prove this.
4. When maximizing the area of a rectangle with perimeter P, The shape turns out to
be a square. Use calculus to prove this.
TRIGONOMETRY
1. In a triangle, when given two sides and the included angle there is a formula for
finding the area of the triangle. Find the measure of the angle that maximizes the
area of the triangle.
2. In the function f(x) = Asinx, A is called amplitude. Use calculus to prove that A
and –A are the maximum and minimum values that f(x) attains during any one of
its cycles.
GEOMETRY
1. The minimum distance between a line (y=mx+b) and a point not on the line (c,d)
has the following characteristic. The line connecting the point (c,d) with the point
on the line closest to (c,d) is perpendicular to y = mx + b (this is what you will be
proving). Use the distance formula to find the distance function between the point
and the line. Then use calculus to find the point on y = mx + b closest to (c,d) (in
terms of c, d, m, and b). Show that the line connecting (c,d) to the point on
y=mx+b closest to it is perpendicular to y = mx + b.

STAT2002 Walden University Applying Probability Distributions Paper
What are some ways that you can apply probability distributions in your personal life? In a given month for example, how many eggs do you typically buy? Then, how many do you eat compared to the number you throw away because they have expired? If you have collected this data, it might help inform your decision at the grocery store to either buy more, fewer, or even no eggs. Also, while you are at the grocery store, if you know the average milk prices and standard deviation, then you might consider buying a gallon that costs a little more or you might think it is worth the second trip to get it cheaper elsewhere. How might you apply these concepts to business situations? Consider different ways that probability distributions could be applied to materials, labor costs and estimations, sales reports, and so on.In this Assignment, you will respond to a set of questions that provide real-world examples of how probability distributions can be used to make better decisions, improve performance, and predict outcomes.To prepare for this Assignment:Review this week’s Learning Resources.Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations for 2000/3000-Level Courses as you compose your Assignment.By Day 7Submit your responses to the following prompts.A market-research firm was hired to determine the percentage of people in a market area who would purchase a client’s magazine if a door-to-door sales campaign were undertaken. The firm stated that 40% would buy if contacted at home. Suppose the marketing company has tried the sales campaign at 300 randomly selected homes. (150–225 words, or 2–3 paragraphs)Assuming the market research was done properly and the 40% is representative, how many sales are expected if the publisher attempts to sell to 5,000 homes?If the market research was accurate, what is the probability that fewer than 100 individuals will buy? Use the normal approximation to the binomial.Suppose that the publisher actually sells the magazine to 70 people out of the 300 contacted. What would you conclude about the market research? About the campaign?A steel mill produces alloy sheets used for the bodies of automobiles. The mill produces sheets with an average thickness of 0.517 inches and a standard deviation of 0.037 inches. A new car model requires alloy sheets between 0.495 and 0.525 inches thick. What percentage of the sheets made by the mill will be suitable for the new car model? Explain your answer. (75 words, or 1 paragraph)The VP of HR for a large company is interested in the distribution of sick-leave hours for employees at the company. A recent study revealed that the distribution was consistent with a normal model, with a mean of 58 hours per year, and a standard deviation of 14 hours. An office manager of one division believes that during the past year, two of the division’s employees have taken excessive sick leave. One took 74 hours and the other used 90 hours. What would you conclude about the division manager’s claim, and why? (75 words, or 1 paragraph)Each month, an American household generates an average of 28 pounds of newspaper for garbage and/or recycling. Assume this is approximately normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 2 pounds. If a household is selected at random, find the probability of it generating between 27–31 pounds per month. (75 words, or 1 paragraph)Note: For each prompt, be sure to reference at least one scholarly source to support your answer. Use the Walden Undergraduate Paper Template, provided in this week’s Learning Resources, to complete this Assignment.

IT528 Expected Payoff Calculations
Assignment Instructions Scenario: You have been approached by a hotel owner who would like you to forecast expected payoffs for him. The hotel has 100 rooms, and they would like to maximize their revenue by selling as many as possible at full price, and selling the rest to travel brokers, such as Travelocity and Expedia, at a discounted price. The market rate for hotel rooms in their area is $279 per night. They feel that they can sell rooms for as little as $229 per night and still profit. Selling rooms for less than that would cause a financial loss. Every room left empty for a night reduces revenue, so they would rather discount some rooms than have them empty, but their preference is to sell as many rooms as they can at full price. Your task is to help the hotel owner find the best possible combination of full and discounted rooms in order to maximize hotel revenue. You will do this in Excel. Download the Expected Payoff Table.xlsx file from Course Documents. Tables for Expected Payoff and Opportunity Loss have been prepared for your use in that file. Complete the following steps: Fill in the Pricing Assumptions Table with the correct values from the scenario above. Create formulas in the Expected Payoff Table to calculate the amount of revenue the hotel owner will expect to earn for each combination of full and discounted rooms. Ensure that you never calculate a revenue amount that would represent more than the sale of 100 hotel rooms, as he only has 100 rooms to sell each night. Use a color to highlight the cell in each column that represents the maximum amount of revenue for each combination of full price and discounted rooms. Using the Likelihood percentages (row 8 in the spreadsheet), create formulas to calculate the Expected Payoff Calculations. Use a color to highlight the best expected payoff. Calculate the Price of Perfect Information. This is the difference between the revenue generated by selling all rooms at full price (there is only a 2% likelihood of that), and the best expected payoff calculated in step 3 above. Create formulas to complete the Opportunity Loss table. Opportunity loss is the difference between the best possible revenue and the actual revenue at each combination of full price and discounted rooms. Use a color to highlight the best (smallest) opportunity loss for each combination of full and discounted rooms. Using the Likelihood percentages (row 8 in the spreadsheet), create formulas to calculate the Expected Opportunity Loss calculations. Use a color to highlight the best (smallest) expected opportunity loss. In the conclusion area (cells R8 through U37 are merged for this), write an explanation of how your Expected Payoff Table will help the hotel owner. Identify one positive and one negative potential ethical issue the hotel owner will face in using this payoff table. For this Assignment, you are not required to cite sources or format according to APA style. Your only submission will be the completed Excel spreadsheet. If you use sources in your written conclusion, you should cite them. Be sure that you have saved the spreadsheet with all of your formulas, color coding, and written explanation .
