Chapter 20, Problem 2ICA

Write a function named CountDown that accepts a total time T in seconds and displays the time remaining after half of the previously displayed time has elapsed as described below. The function should also accept an integer Steps as also described below.

The function should immediately display the value of T, and then wait T/2 seconds before displaying T/2. It should then wait T/4 seconds and display T/4, etc. This should continue until only 1/2Steps of the original time remains, at which point it waits for this remaining time, displays a zero, and emits an audio tone.

It is suggested that you look up the pause function and the beep function.

Example: CountDown (60, 6) displays the following by an audio tone.

60 Displayed immediately
30 Displayed 30 seconds later
15 Displayed 15 seconds later
7.5000 Displayed 7.5 seconds later
3.7500 etc.
1.8750 etc.
0.9375 etc.
0 Displayed 0.9375 seconds later accompanied by a beep

I need help understanding and explaining the answer of this question. (I have attached an image with the question and its corresponding figures) Also, it would help if the explanation could be typed up or written very clearly because many times it can be hard to understand someone's handwriting!
03: Write two G-code programs using the following figure where units are in inches. a. The first program should use absolute positioning, and b. the second program should use incremental positioning. P1 Start (-2, 1) P2 (1,3) P4 P3 (4.79,2) Center (2.5, 1) Finish (6,4)
I having a problem with my code in MATLAB. In the following code results for r is just a 1x3 matrix. Although inside the while loop r equals to multiple 1x3 matrices. I need r equal to one matrix that is of size 27032x3. So, I just need the multiple r matrices to merge together to get one big matrix. I need that matrix to retain its value outside the while loop as well.   cc=0; % set line counter JD = 2460626.666667;   fid = fopen('tle_catalog.txt'); % load the TLE   tline2='gg'; while ischar(tline2) cc = cc+1; % counter name = fgets(fid);% for the ones with three lines tline1 = fgets(fid); % collect first line of two line elements tline2 = fgets(fid); % collect second line of two line elements   if tline2>0 % stop at the end of the file % initialize the propagation [satrec, startmfe, stopmfe, deltamin] ... = twoline2rv(721, tline1, tline2, 'c', 'd');   time_JD = tline1(21:32); yeardayhour = str2double(regexp(tline1, '(\d{2})(\d{3})(\.\d+)', 'tokens', 'once')); dn =…
