function [varargout] = msort(varargin) %This function helps sort numbers in ascending and descending order. %To put in descending order, user must include 'd' in the input. x = cell2mat(varargin); y = nargin; sorted = 0; n = 0; while ~sorted sorted = 1; for i = 1:y-1...

There should be indentations there but it's not showing for some reason..

This is what I had originally function out = msort(x) %This function helps sort numbers in ascending and descending order. %To put in descending order, user must include 'd' in the input. y = length(x); sorted = 0; n = 0; while ~sorted sorted = 1; for i = 1:y-1...

Yeah it's homework and I am taking classical physics so I thought I'd post it here. This is the beginning of the course so we're doing units and basic stuff. This question is ridiculous, how big is the radius of a typical braid supposed to be anyway.

A human hair is about 100 μm across. Estimate the number of hairs in a typical braid. The average number of hairs on a person’s head = 100,000, and the answer is supposed to be 10,000. Can someone explain how you would get 10,000? Thanks in advance

you have been very helpful, thank you crusty!

is there a formula for this? so.. year 1 = 3000*1.09 - 1185.16 = 2084.84, principal = 3000, interest = 270 year 2 = 2084.84*1.09 - 1185.16 = 1087.32, principal = 2084.84, interest = 187.64 year 3 = 1087.32*1.09 - 1185.16 = 0, principal = 1087.32, interest = 97.86 is this correct?

their sum is 1185.16*3?

it says three equal payments of 1185.16 but if you multiply that by 3 you don't get 3000(1.09)^3 = 3885.09 o_O how would you do it annually instead of 3 years?

it's not three payments a year. there's a total of three equal annual payments of $1,185.16. I'm supposed to find out the interest and principal per year

You are about to borrow $3,000 from a bank at an interest rate of 9% compounded annually. You are required to make three equal annual repayments in the amount of $1,185.16 per year, with the first repayment occurring at the end of year one. For each year, show the interest payment and principal...
