An object leaves point P, with coordinates (-1,0) and travels with velocity v,=1 in a straight line to point P, with coordinates (0,h). It then travels with velocity v,=2 in a straight line from P, to point P3 with coordinates (x, y). y r2 • P;:(x, y) P2:(0,h) P,:(-1,0) Given x and y values there will be some optimal h value that minimizes the total travel time. Write a program FullName2.sce containing a function in the form function u = h(x,y) [your code goes here] endfunction u = h (1,2); disp (u); that calculates this optimal h value (to an accuracy of about 106) given x and y values as arguments.

Let l be a line in the x-yplane. If l is a vertical line, its equation is x = a for some real number a. Suppose l is not a vertical line and its slope is m. Then the equation of l is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept. If l passes through the point (x₀, y₀), the equation of l can be written as y - y₀ = m(x - x₀). If (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points in the x-y plane and x₁ ≠ x₂, the slope of line passing through these points is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁). Instructions Write a program that prompts the user for two points in the x-y plane. Input should be entered in the following order: Input x₁ Input y₁ Input x₂

Imagine a 3D plane P in your 3D scene. An infinite number of lines can lie on that plane. Consider one set of parallel lines on this 3D plane. This set will produce one vanishing point when projected on the image plane. Consider now all possible sets of parallel line on the plane P. What is the locus of all vanishing points produced by all sets of parallel lines? [Note that you do not have to right down a formula in order to solve this. You need to use a geometric argument.]
Let l be a line in the x-y plane. If l is a vertical line, its equation is x 5a for some real number a. Suppose l is not a vertical line and its slope is m. Then the equation of l is y 5mx 1b, where b is the y-intercept. If l passes through the point (x0, y0,), the equation of l can be written as y 2y0 5m(x 2x0 ). If (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points in the x-y plane and x1 ≠ x2, the slope of line passing through these points is m 5(y2 2y1 )/(x2 2x1 ). Write a program that prompts the user two points in the x-y plane. The program outputs the equation of the line and uses if statements to determine and output whether the line is vertical, horizontal, increasing, or decreasing. If l is a non-vertical line, output its equation in the form y 5mx 1b.
This is a Computer Graphics Question on Phong's Lighting Model. Question: A light source with intensity 50 and radius of influence 100 is located at (4,2,93) from which you are called to calculate the illumination of a point on the yz plane. For no shiny surface and negligible ambient light, find the point on the surface with the highest illumination and light intensity at that point. Given the diffuse coefficient is 0.7.
Let v be a vector whose coordinates are given as v = [vx, Vy, Vz. If the quaternion Q represents a rotation, show that the new, rotated coordinates of v are given by Q(0, Vx, Vy, Vz)Q*, where (0, vx, Vy, Vz) is a quaternion with zero as its real component.
Suppose images f(x,y) and g(x,y) have histograms h; and hg. Suppose you form image k(x,y) as the sum of these two images: k(x,y) = f(x,y) + g(x,y). (a) Under what conditions (on images f and g) can you determine the histogram hų of image k in terms of the histograms hf and hg? (That is, under what conditions can you determine hu if you are only given hj and he? Hint: this turns out to be fairly restrictive.) (b) Explain how you would derive hỵ in this case.
Here are the arrow diagrams of two maps: Is the map on the right the inverse of the map on the left? O Yes, the map on the right is the inverse of the map on the left. O No. the map on the right is not inverse of the map on the left.
Consider the unit square [0,1]x[0,1] suppose that the upper side of the square goes down continuously at a constant speed until it reaches the X-axis and at the same time with the same speed the line x = 0 travels continuously with a center at the origin and in a clockwise direction until reaching the same one as the previous one the curve described by the intersection of these two straight lines and called quadratrix, finds a parameterization of the curve. please give correct explanation
Although the plot function is designed primarily for plotting standard xy graphs, it can be adapted for other kinds of plotting as well. b. Make a plot of the curve, which is defined parametrically by the equations x = 2cosθ + cos2θ, y = 2sinθ - sin2θ, where 0 < θ < 2π. Take a set of values of θ between zero and 2π and calculate x and y for each from the equations above, then plot y as a function of x. b. Taking this approach a step further, one can make a polar plot r = f(θ) for some function f by calculating r for a range of values of θ and then converting r and θ to Cartesian coordinates using the standard equations x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ. Use this method to make a plot of the function r = ecosθ – 2 cos(4θ) + sin5 (θ/12) in the range 0 <= θ <= 24π. use python code to answer the highlight one

A simple pendulum of length L, has a maximum angular displacement e_max. At one point in its motion, its kinetic energy is K = 3 J and its potential energy is U = 4.2 J. When the pendulum's angular velocity is one-fourth its maximum value (0' = %3D O'_max/4), then its kinetic energy is:
