This is a Financial Management Problem

1) You have been hired as a financial consultant to Jane Corporation, a large, publicly traded firm. The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas. The project will be for five years. The company bought some land three years ago for $4.2 million in anticipation of using it as a possible plant site, but the project was abandoned. The land was appraised last week for $2.0 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land at a cost of $11.9 million ($3.9 million for the building and $8 million for the equipment). Jane Corporation uses straight-line depreciation for the building and will depreciate the plant over 39 years to a zero salvage value. ... click for more

Exponential Functions

One of the archeologists you interviewed for your article is graphing asymptotes to illustrate the data generated through carbon dating the half-life of fossil specimens. Help him with his work by solving these problems: Explain and contrast the types of asymptotes considered for rational functions. Browse through some newspapers or magazines and find a situation that fits an exponential function. Explain why that data or situation fits an exponential function. ***I would think medication could be modeled by an exponential function. If an individual takes medication (we will use anti-convulsant medication as I am familiar with medications of those types) the drug throughout your ... click for more

I have been asked to explain and contract the types of asymptotes considered for rational functions. I have located the following but truly am having a difficulty understanding it. Thus, I have no idea what the below means unfortunately and I am therefore truly at a loss. Hopefully a better understanding of this will assist in helping me find a situation that fits an exponential function. As it is one step at a time. * Vertical asymptotes. These are vertical lines near which the function f(x) becomes infinite. If the denominator of a rational function has more factors of (x - a) than the numerator, then the rational function will have a vertical asymptote at x = a. * Horiz... click for more

Show thers is an open interval J that contains x0

Assume f is continuous on the interval (a,b) that contains x0 and f(x0)>0. Show there is an open interval J that contains x0 and m>0 such that f(x)>=m for each x in J.

Continuity proof

Proof that f is continuous for each x in D in accordance with the epsilon-delta defitinition of continuity(can use the defintion involving f(x+h) (2 problems) f(x)=x/(x+1), D={x in R:x>-1} (can restrict |h|<(x+1)/2 f(x)=1/sqrt(x-4), D={x in R:x>4} (can restrict |h|<(x-4)/2
