- Find the curvature of r(t)=(3t,t^2,t^3) and the point (3,1,1).arrow_forwardBu = ƒ and Cu = f might be solvable even though B and C are singular. Show that every vector f = Bu has ƒ1 + ƒ2+ ……. +fn = 0. Physical meaning: the external forces balance. Linear algebra meaning: Bu = ƒ is solvable when ƒ is perpendicular to the all – ones column vector e = (1, 1, 1, 1…) = ones (n, 1).arrow_forwardThis is a Computer Graphics Question on Phong's Lighting Model. Question: A light source with intensity 50 and radius of influence 100 is located at (4,2,93) from which you are called to calculate the illumination of a point on the yz plane. For no shiny surface and negligible ambient light, find the point on the surface with the highest illumination and light intensity at that point. Given the diffuse coefficient is 0.7.arrow_forward
- Consider a rectangle with perimeter 28 (units). Let the width of the rectangle be w (units) and let the Area of the region enclossed by the rectangle be A (square units). Express A as a function of w and state the domain of the function.arrow_forwardA simple pendulum of length L, has a maximum angular displacement e_max. At one point in its motion, its kinetic energy is K = 3 J and its potential energy is U = 4.2 J. When the pendulum's angular velocity is one-fourth its maximum value (0' = %3D O'_max/4), then its kinetic energy is:arrow_forwardFind (f o g) and (g o f) , where f (x) =x2+1 and g(x) = x + 2, are functions from R to R.arrow_forward

You must show all four cases, i.e., find the coefficients of the polynomial for the given data. Find coefficients of a polynomial that best fits the data and find roots of that polynomial only. In your solution explain why you chose the degree of the polynomial you did. Your solution in both Matlab and Excel should show all four cases. What is the predicted y value from your polynomial for x = 3? No user-defined fn required.arrow_forward
- Generate H (Hilbert Matrix) for n = 15.Compute the right-hand size vector b = Hx so that the exact solution is xˆ = 1 (thevector of ones). Solve the linear system in MATLAB as a least squares problem usingSVD and report the relative error in the approximate solution in the Euclidean norm.Compare your result to the solution obtained by H\b.arrow_forwardUSING PYTHON A tridiagonal matrix is one where the only nonzero elements are the ones on the main diagonal (i.e., ai,j where j = i) and the ones immediately above and belowit(i.e.,ai,j wherej=i+1orj=i−1). Write a function that solves a linear system whose coefficient matrix is tridiag- onal. In this case, Gauss elimination can be made much more efficient because most elements are already zero and don’t need to be modified or added.
