  • An introduction of the organization you chose, including history and background. 
  • The organizational strategy. 
  • The organizational design and your assessment of the effectiveness.

How does the episode of the Golden Calf describe the nature of Israel’s rebellion?

/in /by

Review

Review Exodus 32 and Deuteronomy 9 alongside this week’s assigned readings. For additional historical and contextual information, review the article “Golden Calf” in Dictionary of Old Testament: Pentateuch.

Respond

  • How does the episode of the Golden Calf describe the nature of Israel’s rebellion?
  • How does this episode connect to the broader theme of “rebellion” in the Bible?

Discuss

Post at least two substantive responses to your colleagues. Responses should demonstrate active participation in academic discourse about texts and/or resources, connect relevant experience and academic knowledge, and communicate meaning with clarity and fluency. Responses could include suggestions for further resources, questions of clarification, or providing context and insight. Avoid simple posts of agreement; if you agree, explain why, and then thoughtfully further the conversation.

Verify that your factors are correct by expanding the expression, combining like terms, and comparing to the initial trinomial.

  • Factoring Trinomials Guide template [DOWNLOAD]

Many polynomial equations can be solved quite simply when the first step consists of factoring. Factoring is an essential skill to be mastered in an algebra course. While there are a number of different techniques that can be used to factor polynomial functions of all types, for our purposes we are going to focus on factoring quadratic polynomials of the form ax² + bx + c. A number of different methods have been introduced to help students find the factors of quadratic polynomials. Some such methods of factoring ax² + bx + c are Factoring by Grouping, Box Method, Star Method/Diamond Method/X-method, and Tic-Tac-Toe Method.

Respond

  1. Research one of the methods listed above or another method of your choice for factoring trinomials of the form ax² + bx + c.
  2. Download and open the Factoring Trinomials Guide template [DOWNLOAD] provided.
  3. State the method you are using and explain the process of factoring a trinomial in words, modeling the process by using examples that contain all the steps to factor the trinomial.
    • Note: A student who has little knowledge of factoring should be able to follow your steps in order to factor any trinomial using the explanation you provide.
    • Your guide must include a minimum of two examples of factoring trinomials using your chosen method.
    • At least one of your examples must include a trinomial of the form ax² + bx + c, with a > 1 (e.g. 4x² – 15x – 25, or 2x² + 11x + 5).
  4. Verify that your factors are correct by expanding the expression, combining like terms, and comparing to the initial trinomial.
  5. Make sure to cite the sources you used for researching your preferred method.
  6. Submit your completed template to the discussion forum.

  1. Prepare      a schedule translating the trial balance from British pounds into U.S.      dollars. Assume the pound is the functional currency.
  2. Assume      that Pace uses the fully adjusted equity method. Record all journal      entries that relate to its investment in the British subsidiary during      20X8. Provide the necessary documentation and support for the amounts in      the journal entries, including a schedule of the translation adjustment      related to the differential.
  3. Prepare      a schedule that determines Pace’s consolidated comprehensive income for      20X8.

Prepare and submit only one Excel spreadsheet answering all of the requirements.

Use Excel formulas to make or evidence each of your calculations of each/any dollar amounts. Do not enter any dollar amounts, directly, for the answers to the requirements unless it is unavoidable for obvious reasons. Use the tab function at the bottom of the Excel file where required to answer each of the requirements.

Name your Excel file when you submit it: MyNameModuleXOption1or2.

Requirements:

  • Show      calculations for all questions.
  • Support      writing portion of the assignment (if applicable) with credible sources.
  • Use      terms, evidence, and concepts from class readings, including professional      business language.
