Investigating Ratios of Areas and Volumes In this portfolio‚ I will be investigating the ratios of the areas and volumes formed from a curve in the form y = xn between two arbitrary parameters x = a and x = b‚ such that a < b. This will be done by using integration to find the area under the curve or volume of revolution about an axis. The two areas that will be compared will be labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’ (see figure A). In order to prove or disprove my conjectures‚ several different values for n will

Because the tests are expected to have incredible predictive power and because they may tell us personal information before we are ready to receive it‚ testing requested by a third party could be considered an infringement on privacy. Furthermore‚ the technology is new and thus subject to errors in interpretation that could result in unfair discrimination

At first‚ the wireless LAN was so costly that it was just used as an alternative to the places where the cabling was difficult or impossible. Recent developments included industry specific solutions and proprietary protocols‚ but were replaced by various versions of IEEE 802.11. In 2009‚ 802.11
