A baseball player is offered a 5-year contract that pays him the following amounts: Year 1:  $2.3 million Year 2:  $2.2 million Year 3:  $1.7 million Year 4:  $2.6 million Year 5:  $1.6 million Under the terms of the agreement all payments are made at the end of each year. Instead of accepting the contract, the baseball player asks his agent to negotiate  a contract that has a present value of $3 million more than that which has been  offered.  Moreover, the player wants to receive his payments in the form of a 5-year  annuity due.  All cash flows are discounted at 12.1 percent.  If the team were   to agree to the player’s terms, what would be the player’s annual salary (in millions  of dollars)?

Jill currently has $431,861.00 in a brokerage account.  The account pays a  10.8 percent annual interest rate.  Assuming that Jill makes no additional  contributions to the account, how many years will it take for her to have $1,186,122.00 in the account?

A bank recently loaned you $19,609.00 to buy a car.  The loan is for 6 years  and is fully amortized.  The nominal rate on the loan is 6.9 percent, and payments are made at the end of each month.  What will be the remaining balance on the loan after you make payment number 31?

A. How is a series circuit different from a parallel circuit?   B. What are conductors and why are they important in a circuit?

Explain the difference between Active and Passive attachments. Then give an example of each by explaining how it would help you accomplish one of the missions on the RePLAY Game board. Click here for the mission list and descriptions.   

Create a Pseudocode to navigate the EV3 through the Maze. Number your steps and be specific  when giving directions.  

  Using the Coordinate Grid above answer the questions below. Make sure to answer all parts.   A. Chedy Mae’s humanoid robot malfunctioned and left Mrs. Greenwald stranded on the RePLAY Mat. Estimate: What are the coordinates you would need to navigate to rescue your favorite Math teacher. B. Using the Key, each block is about 20 cm. About how many cm would you have to travel to bring Mrs Greenwald back to the Replay  home (half circle). Make sure to calculate the distance to Mrs. Greenwald and back to the home.

The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task. In the Rube Goldberg assignment explain how you used brainstorming and iteration when engineering your design.

CoderZ introduced you to the  basic concepts of programming: commands, delays, repeat loop, and the basics of robotics navigation using mathematics. From looking at the mission above, give me three things that will be important when coding and completing this mission.  It can be anything from sensors to turns etc.

Use the diagram above, Number 1-6 and label what simple machine is being at each number.
