1. Start with 1 uncut rope.
2. To create 13 pieces, you need to make cuts: x + 1 = 13, where x is the number of cuts.
3. Solve for x: x = 13 - 1.
4. Therefore, x = 12.

The answer is 12 cuts.

A mutual fund manager has a $350 million portfolio with a beta of 1.10. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio’s risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio’s required return will be 9.20%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio’s beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
