Mathematics

When viewing a person diving into a swimming pool from the side, the equation : y = 4 + sec [2x + (π/2)] can be used to mode the motion where (π/8) < x < (π/2). Sketch the path of the diver as modeled by this equation. Sample Solution

Calculating Variables

a) Write a MATLAB function that implements the bisection method in Algorithm 2.1. Make sure that you use the same order of input below:function p = bisection(f,a,b,TOL,N0)% f is the function f% your implementation hereendThe ’p’ variable calculated in step 3 will be...

Algebra question

Let S E R3 I 1113112 = 1} be the unit sphere in . The tangent plane to S at p is the plane through the point p with normal vector p. It is the unique plane which is tangent to the surface S at p. a) Give a scalar equation for the tangent plane at a point p = (a, b, c)...
