...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...

...SUBDOMAIN 212.1 - NUMERACY, ALGEBRA, & GEOMETRY Competency 212.1.2: Solving Algebraic Equations - The graduate solves algebraic equations and constructs equations to solve real-world problems. Introduction: An important element of learning is to connect mathematical concepts with physical concepts. Graphical representations of mathematical functions will allow you to visualize the meaning and power of mathematical equations. The power of computer programs and graphing calculators provide a more thorough connection between algebraic equations and visual representation, which will increase appreciation and understanding of mathematical language. In this task, you will be making connections between algebraic equations and graphical representations. You will use the following situation to complete your task: A man shines a laser beam from a third-story window of a building onto the pavement below. The path of the laser beam is represented by the equation y = –(2/3)x + 30. In this problem, y represents the height above the ground, and x represents the distance from the face of the building. All height and distance measurements are in feet. Task: A. Use the situation above to complete parts A1 through A5. 1.

...Samantha Poteet ENGWR 480 Professor Kiefer 31 October 2013 Little is known about Jakob von Uexküll, the author of A Foray into the Worlds of Animals and Humans: With a Theory of Meaning, other than his credentials and contributions. Uexküll studied zoology at the University of Tartu, known as Dorpat at the time, in Estonia from 1884 to 1889 (SUNY Press; Jakob von Uexküll Centre). Later Uexküll worked at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Heidelberg and at the Zoological Center in Naples, focusing on the behavior and interaction of living beings (SUNY Press; Jakob von Uexküll Centre). His written works were dedicated to the question of how living beings subjectively perceive their environment and how their perception determines their behavior, which is a dominant theme throughout A Foray in the Worlds (Jakob von Uexküll Centre). Uexküll argues that the spider builds its web before it has ever met a physical fly, therefore it is a representation of the spider’s primal image of the fly (159). Uexküll’s claim depends on three assumptions: (1) the fly is the prey of the spider, (2) the spider has a primal image of the fly, and (3) the web is the end product of the spider’s primal image. Though Uexküll’s claim may well have some merit, he presents an incomplete argument as his assumptions are insufficient and based solely on the evidence he offers, his argument cannot be accepted as valid. Uexküll’s first assumption is correct but also insufficient as it does...

...a unified platform are: Functionality, flexibility, architecture, security and usability. There are many platforms to choose from for instance Skype and or FaceTime are great options. Skype is an application that allows you to video chat, 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...

...expressed in a high-level query language such as SQL must first be scanned, parsed, and validated. The scanner identifies the language tokens, such as SQL keywords, attributes names, and relation names in the text of the query, whereas the parser checks the query syntax to determine whether it is formulated according to the syntax rules of the query language. The query must also be validated, by checking that all attribute and relation names are valid and semantically meaningful names in the schema of the particular database being queried. An internal representation of the query is then created, usually as a tree data structure called a query tree. It is also possible to represent the query using a graph data structure called a query graph. The DBMS must then devise an execution strategy for retrieving the result of the query from the database files. A query typically has many possible execution strategies, and the process of choosing a suitable one for processing a query is known as query optimization. Optimization in a database makes things work smoothly. One heuristic rule is to use SELECT operation before using the JOIN or other Binary operations. This is because the resultant size of the file from a Binary operation such as JOIN is usually a multiplicative function of the sizes of the input files. So, The SELECT operation reduces the size of a file so it must be used before the JOIN or other binary Operation. Secondly, we can implement optimization by using the concept...

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 =...

...Linear Functions Natasha D. Collins MTH/208 14 April 2011 John Rudin Linear Functions Question: Using the readings in Ch. 3 of the text, identify and explain at least one real-world application of algebraic concepts for one of the following areas: business, health and wellness, science, sports, and environmental sustainability. Do you think it is easier to relate this concept to one of these areas over any other? Explain why. I think the point slope method would be good in professional sports, because you can see the process of an athlete’s career. Question: Imagine that a line on a Cartesian graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain. Cartesian equations: algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape. For example, a circle of radius 2 may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 4. Question: Can one line have two slopes? Explain how or why not. If the line is a straight line, meaning 180degrees, it can only have one slope. If it is a function (f(x) = or y=) then the line may have more than one, one, or an undefined slope. Find the first differential of the function and plug in your given x value to find the slope at any given point. Question: What is the difference between a scatter plot and a line graph? Provide...

(b) When x=2 , y is about 2.8 , so f (2) 2.8 . (c) f (x)=2 is equivalent to y=2 . When y=2 , we have x= 3 and x=1 . (d) Reasonable estimates for x when y=0 are x= 2.5 and x=0.3 . (e) The domain of f consists of all x values on the graph of f . For this function, the domain is 3 x 3 , or 3,3 . The range of f consists of all y values on the graph of f . For this function, the range is 2 y 3 , or 2,3 . (f) As x increases from 1 to 3 , y increases from 2 to 3 . Thus, f is increasing on the interval 1,3 . 2. (a) The point ( 4, 2 ) is on the graph of f , so f ( 4)= 2 . The point ( 3,4 ) is on the graph of g , so g(3)=4 . (b) We are looking for the values of x for which the y values are equal. The y values for f and g are equal at the points ( 2,1 ) and ( 2,2 ) , so the desired values of x are 2 and 2 . (c) f (x)= 1 is equivalent to y= 1 . When y= 1 , we have x= 3 and x=4 . (d) As x increases from 0 to 4 , y decreases from 3 to 1 . Thus, f is decreasing on the interval 0,4 . (e) The domain of f consists of all x values on the graph of f . For this function, the domain is 4 x 4 , or 4,4 . The range of f consists of all y values on the graph of f . For this function, the range is 2 y 3 , or 2,3 .

...By considering the connections between the texts, we gain an insight into the way values have changed over time. To what extent is this true of the two texts you have studied? (Minimum any 2 scenes, 4 quotes and roughly 1200 words) It is the relationship between context, text and responder that helps the audience to create meaning from a text. Through Pacino recontextualising Shakespeare’s Richard III, the audience is able to develop a better understanding and newfound appreciation of Shakespeare’s text. By comparing the structure and language of both texts the responder is able to go on their own journey of understanding and interpretation. Pacino builds a bridge that enables us to cross over and understand Shakespeare’s context. Pacino develops our understanding of ‘Richard III’ and helps us to recognize how values can be encoded within a text. This can be seen through the different values, beliefs and attitudes towards women reflected in Richard III texts in Act 1 scene 2. The wooing of Lady Anne demonstrates the climax of Richard’s role as a villain. The stichomythic language engages the audience which allows us to be seduced by Richard, for example when Lady Anne say, ‘‘o wonderful, when devils tell the truth’ and Richard replies ‘More wonderful, when angels are so angry’. This short declarative verbal exchange creates momentum in the scene resulting in the audience being in a state of anticipation. It reveals the power of language to persuade and Richard is able to capture...
