The following picture shows the Lorenz Curve for 4 different countries. Which one would have a Gini Index closer to 1?

Why is education conceived as an “investment” under the human capital theory?

Your personal narrative will focus on a specific experience in your life that taught you a lesson. Consider experiences in your life that have led you to avoid certain mistakes or to adopt specific habits, attitudes, or approaches when confronting challenges. You can also write about a life-changing experience and what it taught you. As you brainstorm ideas for this essay, consider times when specific events have happened in your life that have taught you lessons. Your story should be engaging, and it can be serious or humorous.    You also must have learned something from the experience. Just telling a funny story isn’t enough to meet the assignment requirements. Your narrative should focus on an experience that has influenced your character, attitude, family/personal life, career, community involvement, spiritual life, or intellectual life.  Sources: None Length: Five paragraphs *Include one piece of dialogue, properly punctuated. (for example, then my mom said, “Don’t touch that oven!”) *Remember to include your thesis in the conclusion, stating the lesson you learned from the experience.  !!! You may use a physical copy of your outline, NOT a prewritten essay, but an outline. !!! If you do not CLEARLY SHOW the outline to the camera at the beginning of the essay, yet you appear to be looking at notes, you will be deducted 25 points.

As discussed in lecture, anxiety can be both adaptive (i.e., helpful) and nonadaptive (i.e., psychopathological). Describe the Yerkes-Dodson curve and apply to to a real-world situation in which anxiety is present (2 points). Explain how low, medium/moderate, and high levels of anxiety would affect one’s performance in that situation (3 points), and why performance is expected to be optimal at medium/moderate levels of anxiety (2.5 points).

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction?

Integration-Differentiation-Plotting of user defined polynomials   [140 points total] Write a MATLAB main program/script that will first display a message about the nature of the program, e.g. “This program will provide integration, differentiation, and plotting for user defined polynomials in symbolic or numeric format.”  Then it will ask what format the user is going to enter the information: numeric/polynomial or symbolic/function (menu NOT required but do handle invalid input).  If numeric is chosen then a menu with the following choices shall appear (YOU MUST CHANGE THE WORDING OF THE MENU):   Enter coefficients of a polynomial [This part should first ask for the degree, make sure it’s a positive number but can assume integer, then the coefficients.] Differentiate the polynomial and display in symbolic form. Plot the derivative of the polynomial [ask the user for the x-axis limits and titles] Exit  Important NOTES: You are NOT allowed to use symbolic math for  part 1 (above) nor ask the user to enter the polynomial in symbolic format.  You may use a symbolic form for display. You are NOT allowed to ask the user to enter the coefficients of the polynomial as an array with one input.    If symbolic is chosen then a menu with the following choices shall appear (YOU MUST CHANGE THE WORDING OF THE MENU):   1.   Enter two functions in symbolic format. 2.   Integrate each function and display results. 3.   Differentiate each function and display results. 4.   Plot both functions, their derivatives and integrals [use subplots/tiledlayout] 5.   Exit   Each selection should call a separate function to complete the task (minimum of 7 programmer-built functions related to each of 7 menu choices) and the results of each task should be printed to the command window with appropriate text for the user.   Make sure: (i)    To use Good Programming Style (include appropriate comments at top and throughout program and after function header). Comments in block at the top should include file name, your name, date, short description, integrity statement with initials. Comments after function header line should describe function task, input parameters, and returned output variables. (ii)   To handle menu selection error as well as numerical input error (degree should be a positive number but can assume it’s an integer) – allow user to correct error, do not exit program (iii)  To include an adequate number of sample runs – see below (iv)  To upload your .m file to Gradescope in the separate Canvas dropbox in a single submission – include all functions in the same file as the main program   Sample runs should be appended to the bottom of your program as comments; remember to include sample runs for invalid inputs.  For the numeric sample run, use your own made up polynomial of degree three.  For symbolic choose the option for two functions and use the following functions: x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x-1 and 5x^5.   No need to upload plot figures or image files.
