To find the area of the triangle, we can use the formula: Area = (1/2) * a * b * sin(C) First, we need to convert the angle C from degrees and minutes to just degrees. To do this, we use the formula: C = 83 + 24/60 = 83.4 degrees Now we can use the formula for the area: Area = (1/2) * 4 * 9 * sin(83.4) Area ≈ (1/2) * 4 * 9 * 0.9962 Area ≈ 17.93 Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the area of the triangle is 17.93 square units.

First use the formula $A^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad - bc} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \ -c & a \end{bmatrix}$ for the general $2 \times 2$ matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \ c & d \end{bmatrix}$ to find $A^{-1}$. Then use $A^{-1}$ to solve the system $Ax = b$. $A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6 \ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$; $b = \begin{bmatrix} -16 \ -14 \end{bmatrix}$ Find $A^{-1}$. $A^{-1} = \[\]$ Solve the system. $x = \[\]$

A matrix, A ? R<sup>nxn</sup>, such that A = A<sup>T</sup> is called a symmetric matrix. Let A be diagonalizable, i.e., A has an eigen-decomposition, A = VDV<sup>-1</sup>. In other words, a symmetric matrix has orthogonal eigenvectors, i.e., VV<sup>T</sup> = I, and column-wise we can write $v_i^T v_j = \begin{cases} 1, & i = j; \\ 0, & i \neq j. \end{cases}$ (1) (b) Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 4 \\ 4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$. Show that its eigenvectors are orthogonal. (Compute the eigenvectors and show that they satisfy Eq. (1)). Plot the eigenvectors and show that they are 90° apart.

The following derivation proves the logical equivalence $(p \lor \neg q) \land (\neg p \lor \neg q) \equiv \neg q$. Supply a reason for each step. $(p \lor \neg q) \land (\neg p \lor \neg q) \equiv (\neg q \lor p) \land (\neg q \lor \neg p)$ $\equiv \neg q \lor (p \land \neg p)$ $\equiv \neg q \lor c$ $\equiv \neg q$

Consider a causal linear time-invariant system whose system function is $H(z) = \frac{1 - \frac{3}{10}z^{-1} + \frac{1}{3}z^{-2}}{(1 - \frac{4}{5}z^{-1} + \frac{2}{3}z^{-2})(1 + \frac{1}{5}z^{-1})} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1 - \frac{4}{5}z^{-1} + \frac{2}{3}z^{-2}} + \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1 + \frac{1}{5}z^{-1}}$ Draw the signal flow graphs for implementations of the system in each of the following forms: • Direct form I • Direct form II • Cascade form using first- and second-order direct form II sections • Parallel form using first- and second-order direct form II sections
