...express myself emotionally. The songs satisfies my soul and they bring joy and happiness into my life. To help understand the importance of music in my social life, I would discuss three of Alan Merriam’s musical functions namely; Emotional Expression, Aesthetic Enjoyment and Entertainment . How music functions in my social life. Emotional Expression: I like to listen to music that I find romantic for emotional expression when I am in a romantic mood. I listen to slow R & b songs or slow jazz music. One of my favourites is Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s get it on” . Aesthetic Enjoyment I also listen to music for aesthetic enjoyment. I listen to such music like jazz, blues and reggae songs that I find beautiful whether, I am exercising in the gym, driving in my car, working or even when I am at home. One of my favourites is Pharell Williams’s “Happy” and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes’s “Wake up everybody” . This songs gets me going, they are truly beautiful songs. Entertainment: I listen to Rap and R & B songs when I want to entertain my friends and family. These songs help me get away from unnecessary distractions in life. One of favourite’s is Drake’s “0 to 100” and Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” . Music is food to my soul. When I hear a good song, I sing along if I know the lyrics, I clap or sometimes I even dance. I love new songs and the old songs too. The old songs bring back memories of the “good old days”. Depending on my moods or state of mind,. I have songs I listen...

...pdf) The first component is the objective function represents your goal. It maximizes or minimizes a linear function of the decision variables. The second component is the constraints. The values of the decision variables must satisfy a set of constraints. Constraints indicate the limitation you have in achieving your goals. For example limitation/constraints could be “source resource”. With little cash available how much can you buy? How best would you invest your money? As a owner of a grocery store you base your prices on the demand for the products and how much the supply will cost you. Linear programming applies to Farmers, corporations, Small Businesses, Banks and even community based business like yard sales/Garage sales. My company, Fendi Footsey Wootsey, is in the business of keeping little dogs feet warm in the winter, away from the cold and from the harsh chemicals put on the ground for the snow. In the summer the pavement is too hot for their little paws. Fendi Footsey Wootseys’ Dog Boots are just good to put on your dogs to keep their little paws protected from any glass or debris that is lingering in the urban streets of New York City that may harm them. To produce the one pair of Dog Boots, 2 hours of labor and 1 foot of rubber. Each foot of rubber cost me $5.00. My company can only afford to pay for a total of 48 hours of labor a week. Each hour of labor cost me $11.00.My budget is $1,500.00 to start my company. The retail price of...

...week’s discussion question I was asked to use the last letter in my last name to solve problem # 26 on page 708 and #34 on page 711of the textbook (Dugopolski, 2012). Problem #26: h(x) =-3x2 The relation is h(x) =-3x2 h (0) =-3×02=0 h (-2)=-3×(-2)2=-12 h (-1) =-3×(-1)2=-3 h(1)=-3(1)2=-3 h(2)=-3(2)2=-12 X | h(x)=-3x2 | 0 | 0 | -2 | -12 | -1 | -3 | 1 | -3 | 2 | -12 | The above represents the points I will plot to graph the function h(x) = 3x2. The function is shaped like a parabola. This parabola opens down. The x-axis interception point of -3x2 :( 0, 0) and the y-axis interception of -3x2 (0,0). The domain is all real number, which can be written in standard notation as D= (-∞, ∞) and R= (-∞, 0). When I plot the parabola I notice it has a vertex of (0,0). From the above I can truly this relation and is also a function as every element of the domain has one and only once value associated with it in the range and passes through the vertical line test. Image below represents my function h(x) =-3x2. My second problem comes from page 711 #34.The problem states h(x) =-√x-1 h(x) =-√1-1=0 h(x) =-√2-1=-1 h(x) =-√3-1=-1.41 x | h(x) =-√x-1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 3 | -1.41 | From the results, when I plot my graph it resembles half of a parabola, which opens to the left with a line which falls below the x-axis, except my starting point (1,0). This is functionsy=-x-1. The function has a range [0, -∞) because the line starts at and includes the...

...functionality is mainly due to the many gestures created to manipulate this device. Primary functions will launch and control applications (apps), simply with a swipe of the finger or by tapping the screen. These gestures are only the tip of an iceberg and many more vastly wait to be discovered. The Nielsen Norman Group (2011) titled “Usability of iPads and Websites” gives a snapshot of the overall functionality of the iPad and shows its evolution from its conception to its current state. Let’s explore various gestures used to manipulate this device. Operability Between iPads, Apps, and Websites Designed with the user in mind, many devices are now interactive thus creating an easier and more enjoyable experience. The most basic iPad functions are achieved by swiping your fingers across the interactive screen. This gesture allows the user to scroll through pages or lists by simply touching the screen with the tip of your finger near the bottom and motioning it towards the top of the screen to swipe up or down. Although initially, your actions may appear to be counterintuitive, as the functions are opposite but think of it as your finger moving the screen. Let's get the most out of the tablet with commonly used iPad gestures. · Swipe up/down – Function used to scroll up and down web pages or menus. · Swipe left/right – Function is left or right like turning the pages of a book. · Pinch in/out – This zoom feature...

...| | | Domains of Rational Expressions The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (often the "x" variable), which produce a valid output from a particular function. It is the set of all real numbers for which a function is mathematically defined. The denominator can not be zero because, nothing can be divided by zero and remain a real number. The first letter of my names starts with a "T" so these are the rational expressions that I'll be solving: 1 - x^2 and 2b - 2 x 2b^2- 8 1 - x^2 This is the first given expression. Since we know that denominator is the valuable, x can not equal zero be because it will make the expression undefined, but any x other real number will solve the expression. x = 0 The zero is the excluded value. We can see that the domain for this expression is a set of all real numbers where zero is excluded from the value. The expression is written like this:D = {x| x € R b ≠ 0}. For the second...

...development is required was planning and organizing. I have currently been experiencing a huge backlog in the various functions in my department. I have been struggling to plan my functions and that of my staff due to constant absenteeism, underperformance and training of new staff which we employed in my department and an existing backlog. The first step in attempting to resolve this problem was to have daily meetings with my manager, where I would provide him with feedback on the progress of the department and to discuss a plan of action to combat the backlog, and to get as much advise and guidance from him. I presented any suggestions that I received during the meeting, with my staff and encouraged my staff to give me feedback on how we can manage the functions more efficiently, especially the critical functions. A suggestion that I came up with was to draw up a timetable and allocate various functions to various timeslots- where the most critical functions would be allocated the most hours. I have struggled to implement this due to certain staff members that were underperforming. I approached my manager and he advised me of a different approach: he suggested that I handle all the functions in the following way- by running my files in such a way that I can calculate exactly how much work I have inside the 48hr turnaround time and outside the turnaround time- for each function. I then calculate how much staff I have available to work...

...Design Assessment Moshood Azeez 1/21/2014 In this document I will assess my design against my specification to see which of my designs are the most suitable. | This design fits this specification because of the materials it is made of; wood and metal which both last for a longer amount of time as supposed to a piece of paper due to its solidity . Main Award This award meets the function of the specification as the award can be used for both criteria’; progress and achievement depending on the colour used. By this I mean, if it were to be awarded in the colour brass it would function as an achievement award and if it was for progress award it would be in the colour Nickel silver. I have used these two colours because they are identical to the colours used in any competition: gold and silver, so that the students will appreciate it more. This award also functions as a picture in the spherical acrylic so that when the picture is taken of the student receiving the award they can print at a size of 3x4. And including this picture frame enables the award winner to remember the time in which they won it. Also according to my design influences it does not offend anyone because there are no crosses on it referencing a religion that can offend other people with different ethnicities. The colours I have used enable the design to function in a living room environment as they are not bright colours which in short fulfils the end users needs and requirements. After taking in...

...voice chat or text another person from anywhere in the world. Skype can also be used on any computer/laptop or your smart phone. Skype is a very good application to use if you're missing your family or friends or if you need to attend a conference call but are unable to travel. Skype always gives you clear and crisp video and voice so no matter how far apart you are from one another, you will be able to hear and see them. Skype has many "advanced" features to it too, one of the more interesting ones, in my opinion, is that you can call someones land line and speak with them while you are on Skype. You can also set up Skype Voice mails. Skype is kind of like a phone on your computer. Skype is a great application for either home use or office use. FaceTime is another option as you can use it on all apple products. FaceTime is not yet available in the android systems but I feel that it has a better connection than Skype. However the downside is that they don't offer as many functions as Skype does. They are both considered VoIP but one application is less advanced. FaceTime would be a better option for communication with friends and family not necessarily for a professional...

...the sunglass pair and their pricing. This is not an aesthetically pleasing strategy against the approach of Oakley. This strategy seems as though Nike is focusing more on the sales of their sunglasses over the internet, rather than through walk in customers that visit stores. | The ads for Oakley sunglasses are very appealing to both the mass market and niche market. Oakley’s strategy of catering to different markets such as sport, active, lifestyle, photo chromatic and Asian fit sunglasses are very responsive to consumer demands. The ads for each category illustrate a very attractive image to represent the function of the glasses, a title (“LIFESTYLE”) and an image of the product. These images have been placed harmoniously together in order to be pleasing to the eye. | SHOES | Nike categorises their shoes in a very comprehensive manner. The detailed lists of functions for footwear targets a very wide demographic of consumers. E.g. ladies yoga, children’s running, tennis, football etc. This makes it extremely easy for a customer to identify their specific needs, wants and expectations in a Nike shoe. The main page of shoes shows a very fresh image, of green and purple pairs of shoes curled up, although they are being personified. The catchy slogan of “Freedom for your Feet” compliments this vibrant image. Underneath there are sub headings with images that identify the various footwear markets Nike specialises in. | Advertisements are segregated in to categories, such as, outdoor...

Euclid said that two parallel planes don’t touch. Let’s go back to my room and study some non-Euclidean geometry. Why don’t you be the numerator and I be the denominator and both of us reduce to simplest form? I don’t care what Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem says, because I know that you complete me. There are many proofs of my theorem, but you are far and away the most elegant. Let me show you that the function of my love for you is one to one and on to.

Write your answers as ordered pairs. a) { (0 , 11) , (1 , 20) , (2 , 34) , (3 , 41) } this is because no value is same for the order pairs in x values b)Create and justify a relation that does not represent a function with the given range. Write your answers as ordered pairs. { (0 , 11) , (0 , 20) , (2 , 34) , (3 , 41) } this is the case since the values of X in the first two cases are similar hence making it not be a function 2) Find the equation of the line in the graph, and mathematically model the scenario using function notation where cost is a function of number of minutes. We start by calculating the slope m = (40 - 20)/(400 - 0) m = 20/400 m = 2/40 m = 1/20 the form of the equation is given as; y = mx + b where m is the slope hence m = 1/20 , (0 , 20) y = (1/20)x + 20 3) A textbook company keeps track of its daily cost for printing whole textbooks to different schools, but can only print up to 500 books a day. The daily cost (C) to print x number of textbooks is given by C(x) = 3.50x + 1200. A. a) Using the function, determine one possible daily cost by evaluating the function for any input of your choice with four text books as x = 4, the cost is : C(4) = 3.50 * 4 + 1200 C(4) = 14 + 1200 C(4) = $ 1214 b) For what value of x does C(x) = 1900 C(x) = 3.50x + 1200 when C(x) = 1900 1900 = 3.50x + 1200 1900 - 1200 = 3.50x 700 = 3.50x 700/3.5 = x 200 books =...

...Flood. In Genesis 9:6, God says, "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man." The stated reason for the death penalty here is that every person bears the image of God. To kill an image bearer of God is to show contempt for God himself. Elsewhere, the Bible says, "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord." (Romans 12:19) Christians may not take justice into their own hands, but must allow God to deal with justice. Christians are to forgive; it is God who judges. One way that God judges is through the government. The next chapter in the Bible says that God created government to maintain order. It goes on to say that the government is "God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." (Romans 13:4) So, when God says that he will take vengeance, this is how he does it -- through his servant, the government. But Jesus' actions do not suggest that the death penalty is not God's will. Jesus' teaching primarily has to do with personal ethics, not the function of the government. It is our job as individuals to forgive. It is God's job, in part through the government, to provide justice for...
