How do I determine if this equation is a linear function or a nonlinear function? Solution The easiest way I have for knowing the difference between linear and nonlinear is the exponent value on the variable x. It is important to understand the root word in linear. It is LINE. A straight line, no curves. For example: y = 2x - 3 This is linear because the exponent on x is one. Thus your slope is standard rise over run, like a stair step and simply goes up or down. Y = x^2 + x + 4 is nonlinear. When graphed it becomes a parabola, which looks like a hill on your graph. This is because the exponent on the variable of x is more than one. This pattern continues on for all equations. Hope this helps to put it into easy to understand terms. :).

How do I do a T test, correlation and ANOVA in Spss? Solution One-way between-subjects ANOVA A one-way between-subjects ANOVA allows you to determine if there is a relationship between a categorical independent variable (IV) and a continuous dependent variable (DV), where each subject is only in one level of the IV. To determine whether there is a relationship between the IV and the DV, a one-way between- subjects ANOVA tests whether the means of all of the groups are the same. If there are any differences among the means, we know that the value of the DV depends on the value of the IV. The IV in an ANOVA is referred to as a factor, and the different groups composing the IV are referred to as the levels of the factor. A one-way ANOVA is also sometimes called a single factor ANOVA. A one-way ANOVA with two groups is analogous to an independent-samples t- test. The pvalues of the two tests will be the same, and the F statistic from the ANOVA will be equal to the square of the t statistic from the t-test. To perform a one-way between-subjects ANOVA in SPSS • Choose Analyze General Linear Model Univariate. • Move the DV to the Dependent Variable box. • Move the IV to the Fixed Factor(s) box. • Click the OK button. The output from this analysis will contain the following sections. • Between-Subjects Factors. Lists how many subjects are in each level of your factor. • Tests of Between-Subjects Effects. The row next to the name of your factor reports a test of whether there is a significant relationship between your IV and the DV. A significant F statistic means that at least two group means are different from each other, indicating the presence of a relationship. You can ask SPSS to provide you with the means within each level of your between-subjects factor by clicking the Options button in the variable selection window and moving your withinsubjects variable to the Display Means For box. This will add a section to your output titled Estimated Marginal Means containing a table with a row for each level of your factor. The values within each row provide the mean, standard error of the mean, and the boundaries for a 95% confidence interval around the mean for observations within that cell. Post-hoc analyses for one-way between-subjects ANOVA. A significant F statistic tells you that at least two of your means are different from each other, but does not tell you where the differences may lie. Researchers commonly perform post-hoc analyses following a significant ANOVA to help them understand the nature of the relationship between the IV and the DV. The most commonly reported post-hoc tests are (in order from most to least liberal): LSD (Least Significant Difference test), SNK (Student- Newman-Keuls), Tukey, and Bonferroni. The more liberal a test is, the more likely it will find a significant difference between your means, but the more likely it is that this difference is actually just due to chance. 14 Although it is the most liberal, simulations ha.

How do I add fractions with uncommon denominators? Solution First, I have to apologize for the fact that the formatting here will be hard to follow. It is not possible to set it up properly in here. I have had to show the fractions like this 1/2. I hope that isn\'t too confusing. The first step in adding fractions with different denominators is to convert them to fractions with the same denominator. Sometimes this is really easy, because one of the denominators is a multiple of the other. So, for example,.

How do charismatic and transformational leadership relate to the four followership types described in the \"Focus on Followers\" section of the text? Solution Robert Kelley has identified five major followership types which are stated as follows: 1. Alienated Follower: This category consists of passive, yet independent thinkers. These followers will not contribute to the problem solving of the situation. They would have also experienced set backs or furstration. These followers are capable but still they focus on shortcomings of the organization. 2. Conformist: The typical characteristics of conformists are that they are active but dependant but uncritical thinkers. They instantly carry out orders. They are concerned in avoiding conflict further they go along to get along. They are never hesitant in participation. They participate willingly. 3. Passive Followers: These followers are usually uncritical thinkers and they lack initiative and sense of responsibility. They always leave the leader to think and need much supervision. They are more passive in nature. 4. Effective Followers: They are the most active and critical thinkers. They have the courage to initiate change and serve the best interest of the organization. Further, they are committed to something larger than themselves and are always committed to positive impact. They are always open to risk. 5. Pragmatic Survivor: These followers have the qualities of all four types of followers. They intentionally change style depending on the situation. They usually avoid risk and maintain status quo. The style that benefits their position is usually adopted by them. Charismatic leadership: Charisma is certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of which they are set apart from ordinary people and are considered as supernatural and superhuman people with exemplary powers. They have the ability to influence people and uncritical thinkers tend to follow them blindly if they get attracted by them. Charismatic leaders can directly influence Alienated, conformist, Passive and Pragmatic followers since all these followers have the tendency to follow instructions and obey their orders. Transformational Leadership: It is defined as a process where leaders and followers tend to raise one another to higher levels of morality and motivation. The leaders usually stirs the emotions of others and encourage others. They have high expectations and get people to look beyond their self-interest. They set set clear goals and are a model of Integrity and fairness. Transformational leader create a big impact on the Effective followers. Effective follower think and act, and transformational leaders tend to create a impact on the followers. This will work vice-versa. A few pragmatic followers will also fall in this category, as pragmatic leaders always fall in any of the four types of followership styles..

how do furnaces work? Solution Furnaces work by burning fuel (like oil or natural gas). When these things burn, they form hot gases that are sent through curving metal tubes called \'heat exchangers.\' The heat exchangers are inside of the air ducts in your house, so the air in the ducts gets warmed up by the hot metal pipes. Then they use fans to move the warm air out of the ducts and new air in. Since the potentially toxic gases from burning the fuel stay inside the heat exchanger tubes and the air in your house stays outside of the tubes, the air in your house can\'t become poisoned..

How do differing perspectives affect our views of compensation? Be specific Solution 1. Compensation is viewed by society as a measure of justice as well as a cause of increased taxes and price increases. 2. Stockholders are concerned with executive pay relative ti company performance. 3. Managers view compensation as a major expense and a means to influence employee behaviour. 4. Employees view compensation as return in an exchange with their employer an entitlement or a reward in other countries Ex ( china,japan) 5. In other countries compensation is related to being taken care of.( some places in china they still give rice allowances or transportation allowances) 6. So looking at all these perspectives of compensation you now need to look at the pros and cons of compensation with your own perspective..

How did the concept of strict constructionism affect the development of banking and transportation during the antebellum years? Solution TRANSPORTATION Two canals were built in the 1790s: the Santee in South Carolina and the Middlesex in Massachusetts. More, the most successful of which was the Erie, which connected between New York City and the upper Midwest, were built later. Canals\' great advantage was that one work animal could move as much freight as 50 could on land. They were, however, very expensive to build and possible to build in only a few places. Their highfixed costs made them economic only where the volume of traffic would be high. Fixed costs are costs which do not vary with the level of output or (in this case) service. The higher is the level of output or service, the lower are fixed costs per unit of output or service. Other costs are called variable costs. Technologically, building canals were a challenge. Most of the money invested in canals was provided by state and local governments, mostly with funds acquired via taxation Low cost transportation, of course, boosted economic activity, and this is how spending this money was justified Atack and Passel estimate that they drove the cost of transportation down from 20 cents per ton mile in 1810s to 2 to 3 cents per ton mile in the 1820s. The last canals built were failures.Another major improvement in transportation was the development of the steamboat, which made it possible to cheaply transport freight and people upstream and speed downstream trips. Prior to their development the muscle power of humans or animals was required to drag boats upriver. Robert Fulton demonstrated the first successful steamboat in 1807. In 1815, the feasibility of using them to transport freight up the Mississippi was demonstrated. The removal of snags in rivers and reductions in steamboats\' draft made more areas reachable. Night travel eventually became possible. Larger steamboats reaped economies of scale. Boiler explosions and a short useful life were problems. Competition became fierce, driving down price. The first railroads faced not only technological problems, but hostility from those associated with competing forms of transportation. Also, some feared traveling over 20 miles per hour would kill a person. Some didn\'t want these noisy, smoky things around. Decatur, Georgia, for example, turned down the opportunity to have a rail line the State of Georgia was building from the Tennessee River terminate there. As a result, it ended a few miles away, where a new town called Terminus came into being. Today this town is the City of Atlanta. More fortunate than Atlanta transportation wise was Chicago, a mid-continent, Great Lakes port that became a major rail center. Railroads could travel uphill. They could reach inland areas not near rivers. They could be built at a fraction of the cost of a canal. Their speed exceeded that of a wagon, and they could transport a ton at a far lower cost th.

How did Neoclassical economists rationalize a policy of laissez faire with respect to the potential intervention into a market economy by government? Why do modern economists, on the other hand, acknowledge a role for government. A well-structured answer will include: Solution Ans : In broad terms, there are three kinds of economic policies. The first is government ownership, or socialism, where the government directly owns the means of production. The second is government regulation, or interventionism, where the government leaves production to the private sector but tries to shape market outcomes with subsidies, taxes, licensing, price and quantity restrictions, standards of quality, safety, and health, non-waivable worker and consumer rights, and other measures. The third is the free market, or laissez-faire, where private property rights and freedom of contract alone provide the framework for interaction between firms, consumers, and workers. The relationship between libertarianism and laissez-faire is a simple one: laissez-faire is the libertarian position on economic policy. While most who use the libertarian label admit exceptions, even the most moderate use laissez-faire as a benchmark. Different economic perspectives emphasize specific elements of capitalism in their preferred definition. Laissez-faire and liberal economists emphasize the degree to which government does not have control over markets and the importance of property rights. Classical economics can trace its roots to Adam Smith in 1776. In The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith presented a comprehensive analysis of economic phenomena based on the notions of free markets and actions guided by individual self interests in a laissez faire environment. This work by Smith was motivated in large part as a critique of the existing merchantilist system. Under mercantilism the ruling aristocracy directed economic activity with the primary goal of benefiting the ruling aristocracy. The merchantilist view was that the wealth of a nation was based on the wealth of the ruling aristocracy. Smith argued, quite convincingly, that the wealth of a nation was actually based on the productivity of resources, which was best achieved if the producers, consumers, and resource owners were left to their own \"selfish\" actions. Economists also applied this classical framework to macroeconomic issues, especially unemployment, economic growth, and business-cycle stability. With this application a comprehensive theory of macroeconomics was developed that offered an explanation for macroeconomic phenomena and provided recommendations for government policies. The classical study of macroeconomics emerged from a set of axioms and assumptions that were used for all economic analysis, such as wants and needs are unlimited, resources are limited, people are motivated by self interest, and more is preferred to less. However, three particular assumptions proved most important to the study of macroeconomic phenom.

How can you find out what is inside a seed? Solution I believe this belongs in the biology section. However, the seed is produced by angiosperms and contains an embryonic plant. The seed is there to protect it, since the inside is easily susceptible to damage. The hard covering also helps to protect against dessication. These are the layers (from outside to inside) of a seed: Seed coat Embryo The embryo consists of: Hypocotyl Radicle Cotyledon.
