Calculus Chapter 2

 Read the bottom of p.160 through the top of p. 161. Now take a road trip.  If you don’t drive, ride with a friend, or ride the bus.  Think about what you are feeling as the vehicle starts, speeds up, moves, slows down, and stops.  Considering the position of the vehicle as the function, explain what you notice in terms of the function and its first, second, and third derivatives.  How do you measure each of these, both by using the vehicle’s instruments and by what you feel acting on your body?   Note:  Be safe!  Obey speed limits and other laws of the road.  You can test these phenomena without driving fast.   Once you have posted, respond to one other post. Do not focus on length, but instead focus on clear and original thoughts.  As always, your work must be your own.

Internet-related crime occurs every minute. Cybercriminals steal millions of dollars with near impunity. For everyone that is captured nearly 10,000 or not captured. For every one successful prosecuted in a court of law, 100 get off without punishment or with a warning. Why is it so difficult to prosecute cybercriminals?

 The security program has been a huge success. Several of the PCS government clients have expressed their appreciation and increased confidence in the company’s ability to protect their program data and assets. Your company is now in the continuous monitoring phase and your information security analysts are performing routine assessments on the servers and workstations.Based on your research for Unit 8:

• Describe the importance of assessments in system and application security.
• Describe some of the major challenges with this area of security and address why the job is never done.
• Review the results of the vulnerability scan provided by one of your analysts for a client’s system. Explain ten of the failures found on the client system and how the PCS security program prevents these problems on the corporate network.
• Conclude by discussing the relationship between assessments and the importance it has in continuous monitoring.

The requirements for your assignment are:

• 1-2-page APA paper excluding title and reference pages
• Provide at least two references and in-text citations in APA format
• College level writing

Refer to the attached document for the grading rubric. 

A company’s resources and capabilities are integral to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. Refer to your Thompson (2022) readings and the required videos. For this assignment, consider a company you worked for or one that you know well. Develop your analysis by responding to the following questions:

• What are the company’s most important resources and why?
• What are the company’s most important capabilities and why?
• How do the company’s most important resources and capabilities create a lasting competitive advantage?
• Relate your response to each of the above to our coursework (Thompson text) from this week.

 Submission Details: 

• Your analysis must be driven by facts, research, and data.
• Your analysis should be between 1000 and 1500 words.
• Incorporate a minimum of at least our course text and one non-course scholarly/peer reviewed source in your paper. All written assignments must include a coverage page, introductory and concluding paragraphs, reference page, double-spaced and proper in-text citations using APA guidelines.

1. Read Textbook chapter 1, pages 3-24.

Programming for the Absolute Beginner, 2nd Edition, by Jerry Lee Ford, Jr.

2. Use this link to download Just Basic software on your computer.

3. Write a short Just Basic program to calculate separately the sales tax and total price of a product by asking the user to input the sales tax and the price of the product.  Use your creativity to make the program your own.Hey 

Define the following 5 terms and provide an example of each:

1. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
2. Font-style property 
3. Line-height property
4. RGB color
5. Web Safe Colors

Write a Java application program to display the following information:

1. The assessed value of a house
2. The local real estate property rate (different based on the location)
3. The property tax amount

Note: when you write this program, the value of the house and the  property tax are already known. The only value that is missing is the  property tax amount.

The following program calculates the area of a rectangle. You can use it as a reference for this assignment.

public class CalculateArea
 {
    public static void main(String[] args)
 {
          //declare variables

double width, length, area;

width = 5;
          length = 3;
          area = width * length;
          System.out.println(“The area is ” + area + “square meters.”);
 }
   }

Hint: there are different ways to write this program, one option is  to create three double variables for value of the house, tax rate, and  property tax amount.

For example,

      double houseValue = 750000;
      double taxRate = 0.01;
      double propertyTax = houseValue * taxRate;

SLP Assignment Expectations

• There should be no bugs in the program
• The program should give the correct result.
• The output of the program should include at least the following information, but the wording can be different:

The current value of the house:

Local property tax rate:
