Week 1 Assignment

• Describe the concept of a “system.” Though these are the characteristics of any system,  relate it to information systems, as best as you can.
• Also, describe your understanding of System Analysis and Design.

Submit a one to two page paper in APA format by Sunday 11:59 PM. You are welcome to submit drafts for the instructor’s comments.

For APA format, include a title page. Include an abstract statement on page two. Add the body on pages 3 & 4. Put  your references on page 5. Use more than one reference for your information. Use Times New Roman 12 point font, double-spaced through the entire document. Indent paragraphs in the body. The abstract is not indented.

You can use the APA template and References tab in MS Word for easier formatting.

Write your programs using Racket functional language.

Run each of the programs as many times as necessary to show that different situations are handled properly.

1. In the beginning of each part of this problem, introduce a named value pi, which is 3.1416. You will have to write a function my_calc that takes two numerical parameters. If the first parameter is 1, calculate the area of a circle, whose radius equals the second parameter of the function. If the first parameter is 2, calculate the volume of the sphere, whose radius equals the second parameter of the function. For other values of the first parameter and for a non-positive second parameter return a false Boolean value.

• (a) [10 points] Implement a function my_calc using a multiple-way selection structure when checking the value of the first parameter.
• (b)  [10 points] Implement a function my_calc using a two-way selection structure when checking the value of the first parameter.

  2. [12 points] Write a Racket function rem_second that takes a simple list as a parameter and returns a list identical to the parameter except with the second top-level element removed. If the given list does not  have two elements, the function should return an empty list.

3. [15 points] Write a Racket function my_union that returns a union of two simple list parameters that represent sets. Remember that duplicate elements are not allowed in a set. You are only allowed to use a program ‘membership.rkt’ from the folder ‘DrRacket’ under ‘Modules’; no other functions!

1.  [18 points] Write a function my_delete that takes two parameters: an atom and a list (which may be a nested list). This function will produce a list, identical to its parameter list, except with all occurrences of an atom parameter removed, no matter how deep they were. The produced list should not have anything in place of the deleted atoms.

—————————————————————————————————  

Standard Racket functions that were not discussed in video lectures are NOT allowed.

Submit a separate Word or pdf file for each part of the project, or combine all code and output into one file.

The code should be copied and pasted as a text; include output in the form of snippets (not screenshots; no typing).

Submissions without the output will NOT be graded.

This paper will allow you to examine your strengths and develop a plan for moving forward.

Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic journal

database, research eight (8) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer below assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that it can justify

any arguments you may present in below assignment and should be different from the

abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an example of

the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity, and so forth).

Question:

During the next four months, a customer requires, respectively, 500, 650, 1000, and 700 units

of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer’s requirements must be

met on time). Production costs are $50, $80, $40, and $70 per unit during these months. The

storage cost from one month to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is

estimated that each unit on hand at the end of Month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is no

beginning inventory:

● Determine how to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next

four months.

● Use SolverTable to see what happens to the decision variables and the total cost when

the initial inventory varies from 0 to 1000 in 100-unit increments.

● How much lower would the total cost be if the company started with 100 units in

inventory, rather than none?

● Would this same cost decrease occur for every 100 -unit increase in initial inventory?
