Machine Rate Problems

Gravel Calculations: 2 mi x 5280 ft/mi x 14 ft wide x (4 in depth/12 in/ft). This answer * 100 lbs/ft^3 = 4928000/2000 = 2464 tons * $56672


Total cost = fixed cost + variable costs + labor costs


Culvert Diameter: A = C(watershed acres/total acres)M(acres)^0.75 = ft^2

Discrete Mathematics Exam Review: Key Concepts and Proofs

Eulerian Circuits and Paths

Eulerian Circuit: Exists if and only if the graph is connected AND every vertex has an even degree.

Eulerian Trail: Exists if and only if the graph is connected AND exactly two vertices have an odd degree. (Start and end at the odd-degree vertices.)

Exam Examples

  • Graph A: Has an Euler trail (4→5→3→4→2→3→1→6→5→2→6). Exactly two odd-degree vertices exist.
  • Graph B: No Euler trail or circuit. Vertices 1, 2, 5, and 6 have odd degrees (four total).

Problem Solving Steps

  1. Check if the sum of degrees is even (Handshake Theorem).
  2. Calculate the number of edges (Sum of degrees / 2).
  3. Construct the path or identify a contradiction.

Set Difference Calculation

To find the set difference A - B, we identify all elements present in set A but not in set B.

Step-by-Step Subtraction

  • Is 1 ∈ B? No. (Keep 1)
  • Is 2 ∈ B? No. (Keep 2)
  • Is 3 ∈ B? Yes. (Remove 3)
  • Is 5 ∈ B? No. (Keep 5)
  • Is 7 ∈ B? Yes. (Remove 7)
  • Is 8 ∈ B? No. (Keep 8)

The remaining elements from set A are {1, 2, 5, 8}.

Symbolic Logic

In symbolic logic, the word "but" functions like "and," indicating that both conditions occur simultaneously. To write "He is rich but not generous" in symbolic form:

  • p: "He is rich"
  • q: "He is generous"
  • ¬q: "He is not generous"
  • ∧: The conjunction operator

Essential Accounting Concepts: Cash, Reconciliation, and Liabilities

Mathematics2.84 KB

Core Cash Assets

Petty Cash: A small amount of cash kept on hand for minor business expenses.

Banks: Funds held in bank accounts available to cover payments at any time.

Bank Reconciliation Methods

There are three primary ways to perform bank reconciliation:

  1. Adjusting the business accounting records to match the bank statement balance.
  2. Adjusting the bank statement balance to match the business accounting records.
  3. Using a reconciliation statement to adjust both balances to reach a reconciled figure.

Common Reconciliation Adjustments

  • Outstanding Checks: Checks issued by the company that have not yet been cashed by the recipient.
  • Bank Errors: Discrepancies caused by the bank, such as incorrect charges or processing another company's check.
  • Bank Service Charges:

Vertex Cover ≤ CLIQUE

Suppose G has a clique S with |S| = k. Consider S' = V – S. Then, |S'| = |V| - k. To show S' is a cover, consider any edge (v, w) ∈ E'. Then, (v, w) ∉ E, at least one of v or w is not in S (since S forms a clique), and at least one of v or w is in S'; hence, (v, w) is covered by S'.

Suppose G' has a cover S' with |S'| = |V| - k. Consider S = V – S'. Clearly, |S| = k. To show S is a clique, consider some edge (v, w) ∈ E'. Then, if (v, w) ∈ E', either v ∈ S', w ∈ S', or both. By contrapositive, if v ∉ S' and w ∉ S', then (v, w) ∈ E; thus, S is a clique in G.

Vertex Cover ≤ SET COVER

Given a black box that solves instances of SET-COVER, let G = (V, E) and k be an instance of VERTEX-COVER. Create a SET-...

Understanding Anova and Correlation in Research Studies

Ch 12 Anova

Goal/purpose: Evaluate mean difference between 2 or more treatments

  • Factor: The IV that designates the groups being compared
  • Levels: Individual conditions or values that make up a factor
  • Factorial design: A study that combines two or more factors

The Logic:

  • Between treatment variance
    • Variability results from general differences between the treatment conditions
    • Variance between treatments measures differences among sample means
  • Within treatments variance
    • Variability within each sample
    • Individual scores are not the same within each sample

Notations:
k= # of treatment condition
T= sum of squares for each treatment
G= grand total of all scores in study
N= total number of scores
kn= when all samples are same size
n1,n2= # of scores in each treatment

1. f : A → R means that the codomain of f is A and its domain is R.

FALSE: Domain is A; codomain is R

2. Points of form (x, f(x)), x ∈ A, belong to the graph of function f : B → A, where A ̸= B are non-empty subsets of R.

3. A function f defined on R is called strictly increasing if f(x1) > f(x2) holds, whenever x1> x2.

FALSE: A function, is strictly increasing if f(x0) < f(x1) whenever x0 < x1.

4. The derivative fʹ(a) of f at a is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at (a,f(a)).

TRUE: y = f (x) at a point x = c on the curve if the line passes through the point (c, f (c)) on the curve and has slope f '(c) where f ' is the derivative of f.

5. If fʹ(a) ≥ 0, then f is strictly increasing in a neighbourhood of a.
