Of the following, the greatest advantage of a database architecture is that
a. backup and recovery procedures are minimized.
b. conversion to a database system is inexpensive and can be accomplished quickly.
c. data redundancy can be reduced.
d. multiple occurrences of data items are useful for consistency checking.

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?

Now you’re on your own. include a short summary of this section with plots in your lab report. write a matlab script file to do steps (a) through (d) below. include a listing of the script file with your report. 1 the soundsc(xx,fs) function requires two arguments: the first one (xx) contains the vector of data to be played, the second argument (fs) is the sampling rate for playing the samples. in addition, soundsc(xx,fs) does automatic scaling and then calls sound(xx,fs) to actually play the signal. mcclellan, schafer, and yoder, dsp first, 2e, isbn 0-13-065562-7. prentice hall, upper saddle river, nj 07458. c 2015 pearson education, inc. 4 mcclellan, schafer and yoder, signal processing first. prentice hall, upper saddle river, new jersey, 2003. c 2003 prentice hall. (a) generate a time vector (tt) to cover a range of t that will exhibit approximately two cycles of the 4000 hz sinusoids defined in the next part, part (b). use a definition for tt similar to part 2.2(d). if we use t to denote the period of the sinusoids, define the starting time of the vector tt to be equal to t , and the ending time as ct . then the two cycles will include t d 0. finally, make sure that you have at least 25 samples per period of the sinusoidal wave. in other words, when you use the colon operator to define the time vector, make the increment small enough to generate 25 samples per period. (b) generate two 4000 hz sinusoids with arbitrary amplitude and time-shift. x1.t / d a1 cos.2
