DeVry MATH114 Week 1 Discussion Latest Exploring Factors

(Graded)

 Let's look more closely at the greatest common factor (GCF) of a problem. Apply your knowledge of GCFs (13.1) to simplify a problem presented by a classmate. You will need to factor the problem and post your simplified expression. Then, post another example for someone else to simplify. I will start the discussion with this expression. Simplify: 56x7 + 21x4 + 63x3 I am looking forward to seeing your problem and simplified expressions. Don't forget to check that your classmate answered correctly. Each time you post, you should post a solution and a new problem for a classmate to solve. This keeps the discussion fresh and provides you with many solutions on the week's topics. Use these as references if you are stuck on a topic. Please don't everyone answer my original problem (this will get really boring!), but look at the bottom of the discussion for the latest one posted by a classmate and respond to it. Try this one or the original one to start you off and let's work from there. Remember, no repeats! 

DeVry MATH 114 Week 2 Discussion Latest Special Factors Techniques (Graded)

As you become more familiar with factoring, you will notice there are some factoring problems that follow specific patterns.These patterns are known as a difference of squares; a perfect square trinomial; a difference of cubes; and a sum of cubes. Choose one of the four forms above. In your own words, explain the pattern that allows you to recognize the binomial or trinomial as having special factors.Then provide an example of a binomial or trinomial expression that may be factored using the special technique you explained.

DeVry MATH114 Week 3 Discussion Latest Graphs (Graded)

This week, we begin graphing systems of simultaneous equation. Before we begin looking at the many graphs you can find out on the Web, let's review our knowledge of 2-D graphs. These graphs are known as 2-D because they have two axes. One you are familiar with is the xy-graph, which has an x axis and a y-axis.Please provide one fact about these graphs. If you do not remember them, use the book or the Internet to find terminology associated with these graphs. There are a lot of terms associated with these graphs, so please do not repeat a classmate's term. You may also discuss different types of standard graphs that you might have seen and should recognize. Let's see what you know about graphs.

DeVry MATH 114 Week 4 Discussion Latest Solving Systems of Equations (Graded)

There are three ways of solving systems of linear equations: graphing, substitution, and elimination. Post a problem and show your step-by-step solution using one of the three methods. Now go and check out a classmate’s problem and solution. Is he or she correct? If not, are you able to point out the error so he or she can fix it? Let's help each other find those common mistakes that we all make but are hard to track down in our solutions. Don’t forget to do a check! Put your points into the original equation and check that they make both equations true. Why is this so important? If your point does not work in your original problem, your solution is not correct. Don't forget to show your check process. 

DeVry MATH 114 Week 5 Discussion Latest Square Roots (Graded)

Many famous people have made contributions to the field of mathematics. This week, as we begin our study of square roots, let's explore the life of Pythagoras and his contribution to the world of mathematics. Write one short paragraph (5–10 sentences) that provides us with a snapshot of one part of his life, his discoveries, or the famous theorem that we still use today. 

DeVry MATH114 Week 6 Discussion Latest Solving Equations Using Square Roots (Graded)

Apply your knowledge of square roots to solve equations involving them. Show your step-by-step solution. Then, post another example for someone else to solve. Remember, each problem should have two solutions. I will start the discussion with this expression. Solve: (5x - 4)2= 36 Don't forget to check that your classmate answered correctly! 

DeVry MATH114 Week 7 Discussion Latest Understanding Functions (Graded)

 Functions seem like they have a language of their own. Let’s look at this new language and the terms it uses. You see terms such as: relation, function, functional notation, x-intercept, y-intercept, axis of symmetry, maximum (of a function), minimum (of a function), and vertex. Pick one of these terms and explain the term to your classmates in your own words. Then review a classmate's explanation of the term and comment on it. Do you have a better way to understand the term? Share your way with us.

Chapter 2 Questions

2.1 What is an organizational culture? What cultural aspects would you expect to

see in a Lean Six Sigma organization?

People who share the same culture share the same beliefs and values.

These beliefs and values provide members of the culture with rules of

behavior or accepted norms for conducting business. In a Lean Six Sigma

organization, the culture should reflect a focus on creating value for

customers. People should also be interested in seeking out and removing

sources of waste. Process improvement through reduction of variation is

key.

2.2 Describe each type of leadership style. Include a description of where you

have seen each of these styles used.

See Chapter figures.

2.3 What role does leadership play in running a Lean Six Sigma organization?

When running an organization, effective leaders communicate the values

of the organization to their employees by translating the vision and

mission into day-to-day activities. To do this effectively, leaders talk with

customers, identify the organization’s critical success factors, and share

this information about the things the organization absolutely must do well

in order to attract and retain customers. Creating alignment is essentially

policy deployment, the step-by-step process of translating the

organization’s vision and mission into strategies supported by goals and

objectives which in turn become work activities for the employees.

Leaders ensure that the organization’s vision, mission and strategies,

goals and daily activities remain focused on these critical factors. Without

this focus, the organization will not be as effective at creating and

maintaining a customer focus.

2.4 What does it mean to manage by fact and with a knowledge of variation?

The theory of profound knowledge involves using data to understand

situations. Dr. Deming encouraged the use of fact-based information

when making decisions. Effective leaders gather and analyze information

for trends, patterns and anomalies before reaching conclusions.

Managing by fact and with a knowledge of variation means being able to

distinguish between controlled and uncontrolled variation. This involves

using data to understand situations. Leadership must make sure that

employees in an organization are not blamed for faulty performance which

in actuality it is the system that is faulty. Managing by fact and with a

knowledge of variation enables companies to expand beyond small

7

process-improvement efforts and to optimize their systems in their

entirety. Effective leaders have an appreciation for the systems that work

together to create their organization’s products and services. Effective

leaders also seek to create alignment between their customers’ needs,

requirements, and expectations, the systems that produce products and

services and their organization’s purpose. This alignment enables these

organizations to do the right things right.

2.5 What characteristics should effective leaders have?

Effective leaders share key characteristics. They are optimistic and kind,

with a preference for personal contact. While they display independent

judgment, they are loyal team players, backing up their employees.

Leaders display a characteristic calmness under stress. This trait

enables them to face bad news squarely. They are decisive, able to

combine a broad understanding of the whole picture and still see the

detail. They define their jobs and the cultures of the organizations they

work in.

2.6 What does a leader need to do in order to be a workforce motivator?

As a workforce motivator, leaders set performance expectations and

clearly communicate them. While tracking the progress being made, they

provide feedback.

2.7 What does a leader need to do in order to be a decision maker?

As befits a key decision maker, leaders also have an overall

understanding of the situation. They assess the situation and analyze the

associated problems. From this, they set a strategy that is aligned with the

goals and objectives of the organization. This strategy guides them as

they evaluate potential solutions and make effective decisions. They follow

through with their decisions and deploy their strategy. Achieving these two

purposes ensures that the goals of the individuals are aligned with the

goals of the job, which are aligned with the goals of the department, which

are aligned with the goals of the organization.

2.8 Research Dr. Deming’s fourteen points. Which of his points deal with

leadership? Give examples from your own experience.

Could discuss:

Create a constancy of purpose (only leadership can create and enforce a

focus on the customer)

Adopt a new philosophy (leadership sets the direction of the organization)

8

Constantly and forever improve (leadership is responsible for guiding the

organization’s focus on customer, the organization’s processes directly

affecting the customer)

Institute leadership (managing with a knowledge of variation, creating a

focus on customer)

Remove barriers (making working with the company appear seamless to

the customer)

Eliminate slogans, etc. (institute leadership)

Eliminate arbitrary work standards, etc. (institute leadership)
