Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 14RQ
A matrix names mach contains three columns of data concerning the energy output of several machines. The first column contains an ID code for a specific machine, the second column contains the total amount of energy produced by that machine in calories, and the third column contains the amount of time required by that machine to produce the energy listed in column 2 in hours. Write a function name MPower to accept as input the matrix mach and return a new matrix named P containing two columns and the same number of rows as mach. The first column should contain the machine ID codes, and the second column should contain the average power generated by each machine in units of watts. You must use a loop to accomplish this. Do not use direct matrix operations.

As the potential across the resistor increased, the current through the resistor increased. If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero? Is there a proportional relationship between voltage and current? If so, write the equation for each run in the form potential = constant x current. (Use a numerical value for the constant.)
We have designed a divide-and-conquer algorithm that runs on an input of size n. This algorithm works by spending O(1) time splitting the problem in half, then does a recursive call on each half, then spends O(n2 ) time combining the solutions to the recursive calls. On small inputs, the algorithm takes a constant amount of time. We want to see how long this algorithm takes, in terms of n to perform the task.
(a) First, write a recurrence relation that corresponds to the time-complexity of the above divide and conquer algorithm.
(b) Then, solve the relation to come with the worst-case time taken for the algorithm.

The Pascal triangle can be displayed as elements in a lower-triangular matrix as shown on the right. Write a MATLAB program that creates a n × n matrix that displays n rows of Pascal’s triangle. Use the program to create 4 and 7 rows Pascal’s triangles. (One way to calculate the value of the elements in the lower portion of the matrix is

For example, if the matrix number is CD180264 then the L3D value is 264 (since the last three digits is 264). Some data require multiplication of the L3D value, for example, 10(L3D) means 10 x L3D  subject name is INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERINGarrow_forward
