a) Depreciation charges for a construction firm

b) Employee health benefits for an automobile-parts manufacturer

c) Lumber costs for a pulp- and-paper producer

d) Property insurance for a restaurant

e) Gasoline bills for a taxi company

What i think

a), b), d) are fixed

c), and e) are variable

How will your consumption of rootbeer at the party different from consumption of your own rootbeer at home? Use the utility-maximizing rule and the law of diminishing utility to explain your answer.

using a similar model of http://www.flickr.com/photos/tend2it/5804408749/ i dont really understand how it works

two eggs are dropped, one of them is bare with no protection and the other one is protected by a cone with two straws forming a cross sign.

Which egg experiences the greatest change in momentum? bare egg protected egg or both

Which egg experiences the greatest impulse? bare egg protected egg or both

Which egg experiences the greatest acceleration? bare egg protected egg or both

Which egg experiences the greatest force? bare egg protected egg or both

So I need one innocent girl that is about 10 years old, a brave dog, a man that is kind of metally disorder, and old couples (Grandpa and Grandma)

Someone please help!!

I need help finding a verbal irony and situational irony in act 5 of romeo and juliet

There's a certain slant of light,

On winter afternoons,

That oppresses, like the weight

Of cathedral tunes.

Heavenly hurt it gives us;

We can find no scar,

But internal difference

Where the meanings are.

None may teach it anything,

'Tis the seal, despair,-

An imperial affliction

Sent us of the air.

When it comes, the landscape listens,

Shadows hold their breath;

When it goes, 't is like the distance

On the look of death.

We are asked to write about a time in which we had to make a difficult decision in life. Describe the situation, you choices, how it made you feel? I can't think of anything

Will starwars the old republic be real one day in human civilization?

Any connections or reflections on this song?

Let (a,b) be a point in f(x). What would happen to the point if f(x) is changed to f(|x|)?

Evaluate the indefinite integral as an infinite series

∫sinx/3xdx.

Find the first five non-zero terms of series representation centered at x=0.

f(x)=

What is the radius of convergence?

R=

i think R should be infinity since it is a sin function

By recognizing the series

-((1/4))-((1/4))^2/2-((1/4))^3/3-...-((1/4))^n/n-...

as a Taylor series evaluated at a particular value of x, find the sum of the convergent series.

A citrus grower will make a prot of $100000 this year if the winter is mild. There is a 25%

chance that the temperature will drop, destroying 40% of the crop and reducing profit to

$60000. The grower can protect the fruit by spending $5000. Find the expected value of the

profit if the grower does not protect the fruit, and use this to determine which is the better

choice.

In a cell population, cells divide every 10 days, and the age of a cell selected at random

is a random variable X with probability density function f(x) = 2ke^(kx), 0 ≦x ≦10,

k = ln(2)/10. Find the cumulative distribution function, the probability that a cell is at most

5 days old, and the average age of a cell.

The number of accidents at an intersection was recorded weekly for a year. There were 11

weeks with no accidents, 26 weeks with one accident, 13 weeks with two accidents, and 2

weeks with three accidents. The number of accidents in a randomly selected week is the

random variable X. Find the probability density function for X, then E(X) and Var(X).
