One can find out date of the month when someone was born by asking five questions. Each question asks whether the day is in one of the five sets of numbers below

1 3 5 7          2 3   6   7             4 5   6 7             8 9 10 11           16 17 18 19

   Set1                              Set 2                      Set 3                    Set 4                    Set 5         

The birthday is the sum of the first numbers in the set where the day appears. For example, if the birthday is 19, it appears in Set 1, Set 2, and Set 5.

The first numbers in these three sets are 1, 2, and 16 whose sum is 19.

Write a C++ program using arrays that prompts the user to answer whether the day is in Sets 1‐5. If the number is in the particular set, the program adds the first number in the sets to calculate the day of the month. An array must be used in the problem. Refer to the sample output below.

Problem #1: On a certain island, there is a population of snakes, foxes, hawks and mice....

Problem #1: On a certain island, there is a population of snakes, foxes, hawks and mice. Their populations at time t are given by s(t),  f (t), h(t), and m(t) respectively. The populations grow at rates given by the differential equations

s′  =    21/8  s −  f −  7/8  h  −  1/8  m

f ′  =    5/8  s +  f −  7/8  h  −  1/8  m

h′  =    5/8  s + 0 f +  1/8  h  −  1/8  m

m′  =    65/4  s −  5  f −  31/4  h  −  5/4  m

Putting the four populations into a vector y(t)  =  [s(t)  f (t) h(t) m(t)]T, this system can be written as y′  =  Ay. Find the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of A. Label the eigenvectors x1 through x4 in order from largest eigenvalue to smallest (the smallest being negative). Scale each eigenvector so that its first component is 1. When you have done so, identify the eigenvector whose fourth component is the largest. What is that largest fourth component? Problem #1: 14 Problem #1 Attempt #1 Attempt #2 Attempt #3 Your Answer: 14 Your Mark: 0/3✘ 3/3 ✔

Problem #2: Continuing from the system of differential equations from Problem 1, each eigenvector represents a grouping of animals that changes with simple exponential growth or decay. The exponential rate of growth or decay is given by the corresponding eigenvalue. Because the matrix A is invertible and diagonalizable, any initial values for the animal population can be written as a combination of these four special groupings that each grow exponentially by their eigenvalue. Consider the initial population y(0)  =  [18 11 4 102]T. Solve for constants c1 through c4 in order to write y(0)  =  c1 x1  +  c2 x2  +  c3 x3  +  c4 x4 where x1 through x4 are the eigenvectors as detailed in Problem 1 (i.e., the eigenvectors in order, and scaled so that the first component is 1). Enter the values of c1, c2, c3, and c4, separated with commas.

Problem #2: Problem #2 Attempt #1 Attempt #2 Attempt #3 Your Answer:

Problem #3: Based on the system of differential equations from Problem 1, with the initial population from problem 2, find the function for the population of hawks, h(t).

  1. Which investment option should Ginny choose?

Ginny is actively pursuing another business venture as a ticket scalper. She estimates that for a $2 million investment in inventory she can resell her tickets for $6 million over the next year (cash flows realized in exactly one year).  Assume the same 6% interest rate.

Python

Design a class named IP_address to represent IP address objects. The IP_addressclass contains the following

  • A number of instance variables/fields to store a table of data. You can design them on your own.
  • A constructor that creates a table with the following:
    • a list of data.
    • IP address
    • an integer to indicate the number of elements in the sum_list/freq_list/average_list
  • A get_ip_address() method that returns the IP address

For example, consider the following code fragment:

ip_key = '192.168.0.24'
data_list =[(0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84), (6, 84), (7, 84), (8, 84), (9, 84), (10, 84), (11, 84), (12, 84), (13, 84), (14, 84), (15, 84), (16, 84), (17, 84), (18, 84), (19, 84), (20, 84)]
size = 3
ip = IP_address(key, data_list, size)

The data_list contains a list of tuple objects. Each tuple consists of the time-period value and the packet-size. You should summarize this list and create a frequency list, a sum of the packet-size list and an average of the packet-size list. There are a lot of data for each time-period value. We calculate the total number of bytes that the source host sent for each 10-second interval. For example, the above data_list will be divided into 3 groups, such as (0-9 second), (10-19 second) and (20-29 second)

  • (0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84), (6, 84), (7, 84), (8, 84), (9, 84)
  • (10, 84), (11, 84), (12, 84), (13, 84), (14, 84), (15, 84), (16, 84), (17, 84), (18, 84), (19, 84)
  • (20, 84)

Therefore, the IP_address object should contain:

  • the IP address: '192.168.0.24'
  • a frequency list: [10, 10, 1] (i.e. there are 10 elements in the first group, 10 elements in the second group and 1 element in the third group)

This will give

ip_key = '192.168.0.24'
data_list =[(0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84), (6, 84), (7, 84), (8, 84), (9, 84), (10, 84), (11, 84), (12, 84), (13, 84), (14, 84), (15, 84), (16, 84), (17, 84), (18, 84), (19, 84), (20, 84)]
size = 3
ip = IP_address(ip_key, data_list, size)
print(ip.get_ip_address())
192.168.0.24

And

  • modify the constructor and create the frequency list
  • add a method named get_freq_list(). The get_freq_list() method return a list of frequency lists (i.e. if the frequency list is [10, 10, 1], then the get_freq_list() should return [[0, 10], [1, 10], [2, 1]]

For example, consider the following code fragment:

ip_key = '192.168.0.24'
data_list =[(0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84), (6, 84), (7, 84), (8, 84), (9, 84), (10, 84), (11, 84), (12, 84), (13, 84), (14, 84), (15, 84), (16, 84), (17, 84), (18, 84), (19, 84), (20, 84)]
size = 3
ip = IP_address(key, data_list, size)

The data_list contains a list of tuple objects.

  • (0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84), (6, 84), (7, 84), (8, 84), (9, 84)
  • (10, 84), (11, 84), (12, 84), (13, 84), (14, 84), (15, 84), (16, 84), (17, 84), (18, 84), (19, 84)
  • (20, 84)

Therefore, the IP_address object should contain:

  • ip address: '192.168.0.24'
  • a frequency list: [10, 10, 1] (i.e. there are 10 elements in the first group, 10 elements in the second group and 1 element in the third group)
ip_key = '192.168.0.24'
data_list =[(0, 84), (1, 84), (2, 84), (3, 84), (4, 84), (5, 84),
