Question:

For thousands of years, men have gazed into the heavens and have been awed by the majesty and beauty of the night sky. Filled with stars and other heavenly bodies, early gazers saw not wisdom and understanding but rather chaos in the heavens. Only in the past century, indeed, in the past 40 years or so, have scientists come to understand the extraordinary orderliness of the heavens.

Observing through measurement and the application of hugely complex mathematical models, we learned, as god revealed to us, that the universe was indeed very orderly. Movements of heavenly bodies are not random but are orderly in a way that demonstrates the existence of god. They demonstrate that our god is a god of order and discipline. If wisdom and understanding were the tools of creation, should not they be our life-long pursuits?

1: (worldview) in unit 1 and unit 2 bible verses, emphasis was placed on the method god used to create the earth in an orderly process, assess and evaluate, and on that basis move forward. Discuss god’s method and how it led the men of faith such as Renee Descartes to create the scientific method, the foundations of current science.

2: (business) in section 2-3, the text continues analysis of the characteristics of the revenue and cost functions for the digital camera. Examples 3 and 4 address maximum revenue and break even analysis. The graph sketching the revenue and cost functions is shown under the heading “solution (a)”. Interpret the following:

(1) What characteristic of the cost function is revealed by the y-intercept of the cost function?

(2) Explain why there are two break-even points.

(3) Specify the production levels where the company loses money and where it is profitable. If the vertex of a quadratic function y = f(x) = ax2+bx+c always occurs at the point (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)), compute maximum profit. Does it occur at the same production level as maximum revenue?
