2.In Andrew’s Furniture Shop, he assembles both bookcases and TV stands. Each type of furniture takes him about the same
...
s him about the same time to assemble. He figures he has time to make at most 18 pieces of furniture by this Saturday. The materials for each bookcase cost him $20.00 and the materials for each TV stand cost him $40.00. He has $600.00 to spend on materials. Andrew makes a profit of $60.00 on each bookcase and a profit of $100.00 for each TV stand. Find how many of each piece of furniture Andrew should make so that he maximizes his profit.
Using the information in the problem, write the constraints. Let x represent number of bookcases, and y represent number of TV stands.

3.I am trying to figure out the optimal radius that will give the lowest surface area of a cylinder. I
...
have done the calculus which reveals that the surface area is at a minimum when height is double the radius. I am now trying to find an equation for the relationship between the amount of wasted surface area as a percentage of the minimum surface area and the ratio between height and radius.
If I were to plot it on a graph, the y axis would be the percentage of excess materials needed as a percentage of the minimum possible surface area, and the x axis would be height divided by radius. Since the surface area is minimized when height=2(radius), I know that when x=2, y=0.
The website https://www.datagenetics.com/blog/august12014/index.html explains what I am trying to do quite well and shows the graph below. I am trying to find the equation for this graph, but am unsure how to go about it.

4.Hello guys, I confess that I absolutely suck at math. Unfortunately my boss handed me what is basically a math
...
lly a math problem I gotta solve, and I have no idea how to do it cause of lack of my math skills. I am hoping someone can help me with this or I'm screwed.
Co basically I've got this table in excel, where X (row) is a width and Y is a height (column) of a wooden sauna cabin, the X;Y is the price for a sauna with said dimensions. I need to find a relationship between the size of the sauna and the price And formulate ani equation. I can't seem to find it, the price seems to grow non linearly, I can't seem to find any coeficient. Again, I suck at math, maybe solution is simple, but I just don't see it. Can anyone help me please?
Table Is at this link https://ibb.co/fGrxSvf . Thanks for any help!

5.In a simple reaction A ↔ A*, a molecule is interconvertible between two forms that differ in standard free energy
...
ard free energy G° by 18 kJ/mole, with A* having the higher G°.
Use the table below to find how many more molecules will be in state A* compared with state A at equilibrium.
If an enzyme lowered the activation energy of the reaction by 11.7 kJ/mole, how would the ratio of A to A* change?
Table: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STANDARD FREE- ENERGY CHANGE, ∆G°, AND THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
Hint: ∆G° represents the free-energy difference under standard conditions (where all components are present at a concentration of 1 mole/litter). From this table, we see that if there is a favourable free-energy change of –17.8 kJ/mole for the transition Y→ X, there will be 1000 times more molecules of X than of Y at equilibrium (K = 1000).

R2 = 0.78 D-W-d= 1.15 where I, Y and represent real private investment, real GDP and real credits respectively.
a) Suppose you would like to perform the test for the first order autocorrelation using the LM type test technique. Define the auxiliary regression to this end. Also suppose you found R-squared from the auxiliary regression to be 0.62, perform the LM test for the first order autocorrelation
b)Suppose you confirmed that there is a first order autocorrelation problem in the error term, show how you use the GLS (Cochrane-Orchutt two step method) method to overcome the problem

9.So I am looking at polar and Cartesian and converting between the two. My question is, I have never seen
...
seen an equation of a circle this is moved in both the x and y direction be converted to a polar equation.
For example, I know that the equation of a circle x^(2)+(y-2)^(2)=4 is r=4sin(theta) when converted to polar. Same thing for a translation with the x variable. However, I have never seen, nor do I know how to do, a conversion of a circle with both translations. For example, converting this equation of a circle to a polar equation: (x+3)^(2)+(y-4)^(2)=4. I have no idea how to do such a thing and cannot find any examples of such.
Hope you can shed some light on this, Thanks.

13.Must know how to use TI 84 Plus CE calculator and be able to teach that skill without wasting time,
...
or give some complimentary/bonus time while you figure it out, or figure out how to do particular things between sessions instead of during the session
Current topics: understand slope and y-intercept and be able to apply it to equations written using different letters instead of m and b or instead of y and x; parallel, perpendicular line equations; calculate slope/gradient of graphs/sides of shapes/equations; calculate midpoint; calculate distance between two points on a graph; find the equation of a line given a graph or given 2 points; learn the meanings of symbols such as R for real numbers, Z for integers' calculate area of a triangle on a graph
The student is in Kazakhstan and speaks Russian and Kazakh fluently, but is intermediate in English. Please speak with her in English as much as possible, but knowing Russian or Kazakh would be a good bonus that would make you preferable to other tutors all else being about the same, though familiarity with TI calculators or the ability to figure them out is also very important.

14.I have the following budget constraints for an agent. In the first period of his life, he only can get
...
et loans (he doesn't "earn" income). With the loans (L) he needs to decide between first period consumption (C1) and investment (I). The amount invested will allow him to get a second period income Y with probability P which is increasing in I (therefore, P(I)), In case of success and the person obtain Y, the individual should use Y to repay the loan (L) that he requested in the first period and consume in the second period (C2). However, with probability 1 - P(I), the person don't get Y and therefore only consume C1. Note that if the individual only invest the loan (L=I) and don't obtain Y, he can't consume anything. That motivates him not to invest the whole loan and keep part of the loan in order to warrant at least first period consumption. Therefore, considering B the parameter for the time preference, the problem would be:
max U=ln(C1) + Bln(C2)
s.t: L = I + C1
Y(I) = L(1+r) + C2
with Probability P(I)
or
s.t: L = I + C1
with probability 1 - P(I)
My question is, Have you ever seen something like this? If yes, how to proceed? What is more important, I really need a bibliography (a book or article talking about this)
