In this discussion, you will simplify and compare equivalent expressions written both in radical form and with rational (fractional) exponents. Read the following instructions in order and view the example to complete this discussion:

• Find the rational exponent problems assigned to you in the table below.
  

  If the last letter of your first name is	On pages 576 – 577, do the following problems
  A or L	42 and 101
  B or K	96 and 60
  C or J	46 and 104
  D or I	94 and 62
  E or H	52 and 102
  F or G	90 and 64
  M or Z	38 and 72
  N or Y	78 and 70
  O or X	44 and 74
  P or W	80 and 68
  Q or V	50 and 76
  R or U	84 and 66
  S or T	54 and 100

 

• Simplify each expression using the rules of exponents and examine the steps you are taking.
• Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing the thought behind your math work.):
  • Principal root
  • Product rule
  • Quotient rule
  • Reciprocal
  • nth root

Refer to Inserting Math Symbols for guidance with formatting. Be aware that with regards to the square root symbol, you will notice that it only shows the front part of a radical and not the top bar. Thus, it is impossible to tell how much of an expression is included in the radical itself unless you use parenthesis. For example, if we have √12 + 9 it is not enough for us to know if the 9 is under the radical with the 12 or not. Thus we must specify whether we mean it to say √(12) + 9 or √(12 + 9). As there is a big difference between the two, this distinction is important in your notation.

Another solution is to type the letters “sqrt” in place of the radical and use parenthesis to indicate how much is included in the radical as described in the second method above. The example above would appear as either “sqrt(12) + 9” or “sqrt(12 + 9)” depending on what we needed it to say.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

Assignment 3: Benefits of Business Analytics

Business analytics can provide a significant benefit to organizations. If the organization utilizes business analytics and analyzes the data correctly, they will be able to make informed decisions that will benefit the organization in many ways. They could use it to make decisions to address not only short-term company goals but also long-term strategic planning.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research two businesses within the same industry; one that utilizes business analytics and one that does not. Select at least 2 scholarly sources for use in this assignment.

Respond to the following questions:

• Compare and contrast the two companies in terms of their use of business analytics to improve their position in the industry. You may select an organization you currently work for or one that you worked for in the past.
• Provide your rationale as to whether or not the use of data analytics has helped the company accomplish its goals.
• Describe the challenges the company may have faced by choosing to utilize business analytics that the other company did not face.

Make assumptions based on company history where required. Utilize at least 2 scholarly sources in support of your assertions.

Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in appropriate and accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.

By Wednesday, November 11, 2015, deliver your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.
