What is a bug in engineering?

Design a pos circuit that displays the letters a through j on a seven-segment indicator. the circuit has four inputs w, x, y, and z which represent the last 4 bits of the uppercase ascii code for the letter to be displayed. thus, if wxyz = 0001 then "a" will be displayed. (any answer with 22 or fewer gates and inverters, not counting any for the inputs, is acceptable)

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?

In excel - calculate the actual increase/decrease from first quarter to the second quarter then subtract subtract first quarter value from second quarter total then divide result by first quarter value
