Textbook Question
Chapter 15.3, Problem 11CC
- a. Write a single MATLAB command that will create a 50,000-element
vector named Biggie in which every tenth element equals -9999 and all other elements equal 0. - b. Assume a vector LV has already been defined. Write a single MATLAB command that will delete all of the even-numbered elements, leaving LV with half as many elements.
- c. Assume a vector named D has an even number of elements. Write a single MATLAB command that will create a new vector named DS with half as many elements, in which each element is the sum of adjacent odd-even pairs in D.
Example:
If D=[2 5 4 –7 3 C], then DS will equal [7 –3 3], found by:
[D(1)+D(2) D(3)+D(4) D(5)+D(6)]

3. As a robotic engineer, your boss needs you to move the gripper on the UGV to the target
object. The workspace is shown Figure 1. In order to finish the task, you need to find the
correct representation.
{b}
{c}
{e}
{s}
{d}
Figure 1 The Workspace
The fixed frame is {s}, a body frame {b} is attached to the chassis of the UGV, a body
frame {c} is attached to the gripper, a body frame {d} is attached to the sensor, and a
body frame {e} is attached to the target object. The sensor's location is known as Tsd,
the chassis of the UGV's location is known as Tsb, the gripper's location's is Tsc, and the
target object's location is Tse. The sensor can detect the target object, so the target
object can be represented in the sensor's frame. The configuration of the UGV is
reported simultaneously, and the gripper's configuration is also known. How to
represent the target object in the gripper's frame?
Q4: Create a Visual Basic Project to find the value of the following series:
h? h4 h3
cos(h) = h –
2!
3!
4!
Write the code program so that the value of angle (h) is entered into inputbox.
Estimate the value of series (cos(h)) so that the absolute value of any term is
greater or equal to 10-6. Display the required number of terms (N) which it used in
this series in a text box and display the result of series (cos(h)) in another separate
text box.
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
