I need the matlab codes for following question

(1) (a). Solve the following second-order differential equations by a pair of first-order equations, xyʹʹ − 8x3y3 = 0; with initial conditions y = 0.5 and = −0.5 at x = 1.

(b). Solve the problem in part (a) above using MATLAB built-in functions ode23 and ode45, within the range of 1 to 4, and compare with the exact solution of y = 1/(1 + x2)

[Hint: ode23 à 0.0456, ode45 à 0.0588]

(c). How can we improve the accuracy for the solutions obtained in parts (a) and (b) above?

Q. The unethical use of accounting information ABC Learning was Australia’s – and one of the world’s largest – providers of early childhood education services until it collapsed spectacularly in the late 2000s., when it came to light that its reported financial success was built on a number of questionable accounting practices. Required:

1. Search the internet for information about the ABC Learning corporate collapse and summarise the unethical accounting practices utilised by ABC Learning’s accountants.

2. Which of the principles set out in the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board (APESB)’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants did these actions contravene?

HR Industries (HRI) has a beta of 1.3; LR Industries's (LRI) beta is 0.7. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the required rate of return on an average stock is 13%. The expected rate of inflation built into rRF falls by 1.5 percentage points, the real risk-free rate remains constant, the required return on the market falls to 10.5%, and all betas remain constant. After all of these changes, what will be the difference in the required returns for HRI and LRI? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Please show all steps.

The textbook states that the cash budget is one of the most important parts of the master budget. There are several reasons listed as to why a cash budget is considered to be this important; I would like your thoughts as to why you consider the cash budget to be this important. How does the granting of credit to customers (and to your company from suppliers) affect your answer? What happens when you face a cash shortage? Is there something that can be "built in" the budget that considers such a situation and incorporates it into the master budget? What happens to the cash budget when you face an unforeseen emergency requiring cash?

Java question - How can the code below be modified to accept multi digit input.

String e = "1+9+8";
int r = e.charAt(0)-'0';
for (int i = 1; i < e.length(); i+=2){
  
if (e.charAt(i) == '+'){
r += e.charAt(i+1)-'0';
}
else{
r -= e.charAt(i+1)-'0';
}

The only built in String methods that can be used are lowercase(), length(), and charAt(). Arrays and parseInt() cannot be used.

So we want to know how we can get an answer if a string such as "123+45+678-...." is entered.

What did you learn about this structure that was a surprise to you or resonated with you about building relationships in the workplace? Did the people who built this wall have to work together? Are there any lessons to be learned about building relationships across philosophical divides (differing world views) in the workplace?

Write a program that takes a string from the user, identifies and counts all unique characters in that given string. You are bound to use only built-in string functions where necessary. For identification of unique characters and for counting of the characters make separate functions.

For character identification

Develop a program that takes a string argument, and returns an array containing all unique characters.

For character counting

Develop a program that takes an array returned from above function as an argument along with the given string and return an array containing the total count of each uniquely identified character present in the argument array.

using matlab

Write a script that simulates a card game that works as follows: A dealer places 5 cards face down on the table and flips the first card. The player goes down the line, one at a time, and guesses if the next card is higher or lower than the card displayed, and then the next card is revealed. In the end, the player is awarded a point for each correct guess.

In terms of coding, your script should follow this basic outline (with deviations as you decide how to code it):

1) Your script should "shuffle" and randomly order 5 cards, listed from 1-5. Note: there should be only one of each card (this is a permutation, not a combination). You should NOT display the cards (though you may want to look at them while starting to test if your code is right).

2) "Flip" the first card and display it to the user.

3) Prompt the user to guess if the next card is higher or lower. You can do this a number of ways, but I'd suggest using the "input" built-in function and certain numbers to indicate lower or higher (e.g. 'input pi for lower and tau for higher' but maybe not pi and tau).

4) Flip the next card. Assign one point to the user if they are correct, and no points if they are incorrect.

5) Repeat steps 3 & 4 until all 4 cards have been displayed and the 5th card has been revealed to be lower or higher.

6) Display the number of points the user has received, either by unsuppressing a variable name or using the "disp", "sprintf" or "fprintf" MATLAB built-in functions.
