Consider the simple 3-station assembly line illustrated below, where the 2 machines at station 1 are parallel, i.e., the product only needs to go through one of the 2 machines before proceeding to station 2.what is the throughput time of this process?

Least square fit to polynomial write a function leastsquarefit3pol that solves a linear system of equations to find a least squares fit of a third order polynomial to an experimental data set given as two row arrays. the function leastsquarefit3pol must explicitly solve a set of linear equations and cannot use polyfit. there should be no restriction on the size of the problem that can be solved.

Fill in the following program so that it will correctly calculate the price of the orange juice the user is buying based on the buy one get one sale.#include //main functionint main() { int cartons; float price, total; //prompt user for input information printf("what is the cost of one container of oj in dollars? \n"); scanf(" [ select ] ["%d", "%c", "%f", "%lf"] ", & price); printf("how many containers are you buying? \n"); scanf(" [ select ] ["%d", "%c", "%f", "%lf"] ", & cartons); if ( [ select ] ["cartons / 2", "cartons % 1", "cartons % 2", "cartons % price", "cartons / price", "cartons / total"] [ select ] ["=", "==", "! =", "< =", "> =", "< "] 0) total = [ select ] ["price * cartons", "cartons * price / 2 + price", "(cartons / 2) * price", "cartons / (2.0 * price)", "(cartons / 2.0) * price + price", "((cartons / 2) * price) + price"] ; else total = ((cartons / 2) * price) + price; printf("the total cost is $%.2f.\n", total); return 0; }
