Chapter 2, Problem 15PP
It is important to consider the effect of thermal expansion when building a structure that must withstand changes in temperature. For example, a metal beam will expand in hot temperatures. The additional stress could cause the structure to fail. Similarly, a material will contract in cold temperatures. The linear change in length of a material if it is allowed to freely expand is described by the following equation:
L Δ=α L 0 T Δ
Here, L0 is the initial length of the material in meters, LΔ is the displacement in meters, TΔ is the change in temperature in Celsius, and a is a coefficient for linear expansion.

In practical life, the employees get salaries and pay taxes honestly. Sometimes, the process of drawing salariesand payment of taxes may lead to some interesting situation. Suppose, a person draws salary of Rs. 10,000 permonth. A certain percentage of tax is charged on that amount, which is deducted every month. But if the salaryof the person is more than Rs. 10,000 per month, then the tax rate is different. Similarly if a person is getting Rs.20,000 per month, he/she would be charged more under a different tax rate slab. The interesting situationdevelops if there is an anomaly in the tax rates i.e. a person who is getting higher salary takes home lesser moneyas compared to the other person with less gross salary.To further elaborate it, we suppose that there is company 'C' where 100 or less than 100persons are employed. The salaries of the employees and their tax rates are known to us.We are required to list those unlucky persons, who are getting lesser take-home salary(net salary)…
Let l be a line in the x-yplane. If l is a vertical line, its equation is x = a for some real number a.
Suppose l is not a vertical line and its slope is m. Then the equation of l is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept.
If l passes through the point (x₀, y₀), the equation of l can be written as y - y₀ = m(x - x₀).
If (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points in the x-y plane and x₁ ≠ x₂, the slope of line passing through these points is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
Instructions
Write a program that prompts the user for two points in the x-y plane. Input should be entered in the following order:

A tridiagonal matrix is one where the only nonzero elements are the ones on the main diagonal and the ones immediately above and below it.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. As an example, consider a linear system Ax = b with 100,000 unknowns and the same number of equations. The coefficient matrix A is tridiagonal, with all elements on the main diagonal equal to 3 and all elements on the diagonals above and below it equal to 1. The vector of constant terms b contains all ones, except that the first and last elements are zero. You can use td to find that x1= −0.10557.
The following code format should help:

- In the real world, functions are mathematical representations of input-output situations. A vending machine is one such example. The input is the money combined with the selected button. The output is the product. Here is another example: The formula for converting a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is a function expressed as: C = (5/9)*(F - 32), where F is the Fahrenheit temperature and C is the Celsius temperature. If it is 77 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix Arizona, then what is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius thermometer? Our input is 77. C = (5/9)*(77 - 32) C = (5/9)*(45) C = 25 The equivalent temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. To complete the Discussion activity, please do the following: Choose your own function or choose from the list below and then provide a unique example of a function and evaluate the function for a specific input (like the example above).

Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by the angle 2π/3600 each second, but now it moves according to different angle x. You can assume that coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and the length of the minute hand is l. One endpoint of the minute hand is always located at the clock centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the point (0, l). One second later, Harry observes that this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e., the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d. Harry is curious about where the minute hand will be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds. Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for that moment.

- Imagine a 3D plane P in your 3D scene. An infinite number of lines can lie on that plane. Consider one set of parallel lines on this 3D plane. This set will produce one vanishing point when projected on the image plane. Consider now all possible sets of parallel line on the plane P. What is the locus of all vanishing points produced by all sets of parallel lines? [Note that you do not have to right down a formula in order to solve this. You need to use a geometric argument.]arrow_forwardPython programming It is given a non-negative number x, the decimal portrayal of which contains n digits. You need to shading every its digit in red or dark, with the goal that the number shaped by the red digits is detachable by A, and the number framed by the dark digits is distinct by B. Somewhere around one digit should be shaded in every one of two tones. Consider, the include of digits shaded in red is r and the include of digits hued in dark is b. Among all potential colorings of the given number x, you need to yield any to such an extent that the worth of |r−b| is the base conceivable. Note that the number x and the numbers shaped by digits of each tone, may contain driving zeros. instance of painting the number x=02165 of n=5 digits for A=3 and B=13.

To check whether the 3 points lie on the same line, we use the distance formula. If P, Q and R are three collinear points, then: Distance from P to Q + Distance from Q to R = Distance from P to R PQ + QR = PR The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by Hence, we can easily find the distance between the points P, Q and R, with the help of this formula. Design an algorithm (pseudocode) to check whether three points are collinear. In your solution include the input and the output.arrow_forward
- In the example below, the sum of the fourth powers of each digit that forms the 4-digit numbers gives the number itself: 1634 = 14 + 64 + 34 + 44 8208 = 84 + 24 + 04 + 84 9474 = 94 + 44 + 74 + 44 And sum of these numbers is 1634 + 8208 + 9474 = 19316.

If b≠0, then –a/b is the slope of the line. If a = 0, then it is a horizontal line, and if b = 0, then it is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope or both are vertical lines. Two lines are perpendicular if either one of the lines is horizontal and the other is vertical or the product of their slopes is –1. Design the class lineType to store a line. To store a line, you need to store the values of a (coefficient of x), b (coefficient of y), and c. Your class must contain the following operations: If a line is nonvertical, then determine its slope. Determine if two lines are equal. (Two lines a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂ are equal if either a₁ = a₂, b₁ = b₂, and c₁ = c₂, or a₁ = ka₂, b₁ = kb₂ and c₁ = kc₂, and for some real number k.) Determine if two lines are parallel.

- Suppose a person can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. A person can redeem 3 coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. This means that once a person has started buying chocolate bars from the machine, he/she always has some coupons. A person would like to know how many chocolate bars can be bought, if a person starts with N dollars and always redeem coupons, if he/she has enough for an additional chocolate bar. For example: With 3 dollars a person could buy 4 chocolate bars after purchasing 3 bars giving him/her 3 coupons and then redeeming the 3 coupons for one bar. This would leave him/her with one extra coupon. Thus, will have 4 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 11 dollars, a person can have 16 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover. For 12 dollars, a person can have 17 chocolate bars and have two coupons leftover.
