1. Is entry into the Argentine market a good strategic move for Continental? Entering Argentine market in 1993-1994 was a good strategic decision for Continental as one of the TOP5 cable TV companies in the US despite certain risks for several reasons: 1. Changes in the US regulatory environment created additional challenges for Continental’s core business: 1992 Cable Act limited the cable TV companies’ ability to raise cable rates whereas costs at market prices reached up to $2000/subscriber

In Lacsap’s Fractions‚ when looking for a general pattern for the numerator‚ it can be noted that it does not increase linearly but exponentially. Numerators are 3‚6‚10‚ and 15‚ each preceding numerator added by one plus the row number. Using this general statement it can be concluded that the numerator in the 6th row is 21 (15+6)‚ and 28 for the 7th. Generating a Statement for the Numerator: To generate an equation for the numerator of the fraction‚ the fraction data must be organized and

1 Introduction. Let us consider a triangle of fractions: Obviously‚ the numbers are following some pattern. In this investigation we will try to explain the theory behind this arrangement and to find a general relation between the element’s number and its value. The pattern above is called a Lacsap’s Triangle‚ which inevitably hints at its relation to another arrangement - Pascal’s Triangle (as Lacsap appears to be an anagram of Pascal). The algorithm behind it is very simple: each element

Lacsap’s Fractions IB Math 20 Portfolio By: Lorenzo Ravani Lacsap’s Fractions Lacsap is backward for Pascal. If we use Pascal’s triangle we can identify patterns in Lacsap’s fractions. The goal of this portfolio is to find an equation that describes the pattern presented in Lacsap’s fraction. This equation must determine the numerator and the denominator for every row possible. Numerator Elements of the Pascal’s triangle form multiple horizontal rows (n) and diagonal rows (r). The elements

Psychological egoism claims that people do only act in their self-interest. Ethical egoism is the normative ethical stance that people ought to do what is in their self-interest. Although similar‚ the two beliefs are not compatible because ethical egoism‚ in order to be significant‚ must claim that people can be altruistic; otherwise it would make no sense to say that people should be selfish. Neither philosophy is very good‚ though. Both have very big problems. A major problem with psychological
