Span of control is refers to the number of direct reports a manager has. In other words it states the number of employees can a manager efficiently and effectively manage. The optimal numbers of subordinates supervised by a single executive is 5 to 6 in an average firm. It is importantly to note that managers that have more than six subordinates would soon lose track of what is going on in the organisation. Therefore the number of direct reports a manager can handle depends on the nature of the work

Application of linear algebraic equation for chemical engineering problem The chemical engineering system models often outcome of set of linear algebraic equations. These problems may range in complexity from a set of two simultaneous linear algebraic equations to a set involving 1000 or even 10‚000 equations. The solution of a set two or three linear algebraic equations can be obtained easily by the algebraic elimination of variables or by the application of cramer’s rule. However for systems involving

Different techniques are frequency chirp‚ coherence function and pseudoinverse. In chirp method‚ wideband excitation such as frequency chirp is used. Frequency response is obtained as the DFT of the output of the system for time-domain input. Inverse method uses SVD function to find pseudoinverse. Coherence function has been used to identify the system using MATL AB function tfestimate. The performances of the methods are demonstrated by means of experimental investigation. Keywords:- System

Math Magic – Matrices Page 1 Working With Matrices: A. Number Sense only deals with small matrices‚ usually 2 x 2 matrices. This page will look at 3 ways of manipulating matrices: Multiplying Matrices‚ Inverses‚ and Determinants. B. Multiplying Matrices 1. Unlike general multiplication‚ matrix multiplication is not commutative. Multiplying A x B and B x A will give different results. 2. The following will show how to multiply two 2x2 matrices: a. In other words‚ you multiply the row of

Assignment 4 April‚ 7 2013 Mat222 In this week of class we have been taught how to evaluate‚ combine and find inverses of working relations or functions. We will be computing‚ composing‚ transforming and finding the inverse of some functions. We are working with the following functions: f(x) = 2x+5 g(x) = x2 -3 h(x) = (7-3x)/3 We have been asked to compute (f – h)(4). (f – h)(4) = f(4) – h(4) So we can evaluate each separately and then subtract. f(4)

Victorian era social mores and norms throughout the entire novel. Stoker subverts traditional 19th Century social mores and norms in Dracula through the portrayal of sexually aggressive and assertive females‚ Jonathan and Mina’s relationship‚ and the inverse of Maternity. One of the first examples of Stoker’s subverting of traditional social mores and norms in his novel is Dracula’s Wives. Our first encounter with the “weird sisters” comes when they approach Jonathan Harker at the Count’s mansion.

Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages Samantha Sequito and Anna Steenland Lab Performed: December 3‚ 2013 Lab Due: December 13‚ 2013 Introduction: Different amounts of FD&C Blue I were diluted with water to make eight differently concentrated 10 mL solutions. Samples were placed in the spectrophotometer to determine the percent transmittance of FD&C Blue 1. All of the data was summarized in graphs to predict the concentration of FD&C Blue I in a sample of Gatorade.
