Governing Equations

Logical Operators

we explored two cases where we could use logical operators/structures (logical vectors) to
handle
• The logical vectors would “turn on” (return a “1”) under some conditions and “turn off” for others.
• These programs are included to help you model things for this project

Objectives

Solve the following problem statement with if-else ladders
• Solve the same problem statement again with logical vectors (structures) instead (INSTEAD) of if-else ladders
• Test each case by displaying the correct values for thefollowing incomes: $5,000, $10,000, $11,000, $15,000, $30,000 and $100,000
(your income after graduation)
• Publish your results as a PDF

Problem Statement

The IRS has a tax table given as …
• Taxable Income $10,000 or less …. tax is 10% of taxable income
• Taxable income between $10,000 and $20,000 …
$1,000 + 20% of the amount by which the taxable income exceeds $10,000
• Taxable income more than $20,000 … $3,000 + 50% of the amount by which the taxable income exceeds $20,000

LogicGames_Sinx_Corrected.m

%% Title – Sinc(x) Challenge Problem

%% Governing Equations

% y (x) = sin (x) / x

% range = -4pi to + 4pi

%% Set range vector

lowerlim = -4 * pi ;

upperlim = 4 * pi ;

x = lowerlim : pi/20 : upperlim ;

% Nudge any zero values by the smallest number possible

x = x + (x == 0) * 1E-20 ;

% Matlab also has a function for that (eps)

%x = x + (x == 0) * eps;

%% Determine y for each x

y = sin(x) ./ x ; % ./ so that we go element-by-element

%% Plot Results

plot (x,y)

LogicGames_Tan_Corrected.m

%% Title

%% Governing Equations

% y (x) = tan(x)

% range = -3pi/2 to + 3pi/2

%% Set range vector

lowerlim = (-3/2) * pi ;

upperlim = (3/2) * pi ;

x = lowerlim : pi/100 : upperlim ;

%% Determine y for each x

y = tan(x) ;

%% Remove values which are INSANELY large

y = y .* (abs(y) < 1e10) ; % (…) equals 1 if reasonable, 0 if huge

%% Plot Results

plot (x,y)

Solution

Program with MATLAB using if-else ladder:

clearall

clc

x=[5000 10000 11000 15000 30000 100000];%Incomes taxables

i=1;

while i<=length(x)

if x(i)<=10000% first condition

tax(i)=0.1*x(i);

elseif x(i)>10000&&x(i)<20000% Second condition

tax(i)=1000+0.2*x(i);

else x(i)>20000% Third condition

tax(i)=3000+0.5*x(i);

i=i+1;

end
