A student conducted an experiment to determine if listening to different types of music would affect pulse rate. She thought that pulse rate would change with different types of music. Each person participating in her experiment listened to seven different selections of music for 30 seconds each. The pulse rates were taken after each 30 second interval. Based on her experiment, the student concluded that a persons pulse rate changed when listening to different types of music. What component is missing for the experiment?

Ece 202: problem set 1 due: june 14, 2019 (friday) the first 3 questions of this homework assignment covers some fundamental mathematical concepts that will play a role in this course. the remaining questions are on basic signals and laplace transforms. 1. a review of complex numbers. (a) compute the magnitude and the phase of the complex numbers −4 +j, and write them in polar form (i.e., of the form rejθ). also, plot the complex number in the complex plane. (b) simplify the complex number 1 4 − √ 1 2 − j √ 2 22 and write them in cartesian form. (c) consider the complex number s = z1z2 · · ·zm p1p2 · · · pn , where each zi is a complex number with magnitude |zi | and phase ∠zi , and each pi is a complex number with magnitude |pi | and phase ∠pi . write the magnitude and phase of s in terms of the magnitudes and phases of z1, z2, . . , zm, p1, p2, . . , pn. 2. a review of differentiation. (a) find df dx for the following functions. i. f(x) = (1−4x) 2 √ x . ii. f(x) = √ 1 + tan x. (b) find dy dx for the equation e x sin y + cos2 x cos y − x 3 = 0.
