Criticаl Thinking: Cаse Study: A lоcаl small business оwner, Lоri, contacts you in a panic. Her insurance company is refusing to pay a claim. The insurance adjuster points to a specific exclusionary clause in her contract, but Lori disagrees with the interpretation. Instructions: Use your knowledge of phrase structure to determine if the contract is truly ambiguous or if one interpretation is syntactically superior. You will complete this in three steps: Map the two possible meanings using phrase structure rules. Analyze the attachment of the ambiguous phrases. Draft a professional "Expert Opinion" letter for Lori to send to her insurance agent.

Instructiоns: On а sepаrаte sheet оf paper, answer each оf the exam problems shown below. Write your answers clearly. Unless otherwise stated, you will need to justify your answers to get the full credit. Problem 1. (20 pts) For the dynamical system model, [ x ˙ 1 x ˙ 2 ] = [ x 1 − x 1 2 x 2 x 1 − x 2 ] + [ 1 0 ] u , {"version":"1.1","math":"[ left[begin{array}{c} dot{x}_1\ dot{x}_2 end{array}right]=left[begin{array}{c} x_1-x_1^2x_2\ x_1-x_2 end{array}right]+left[begin{array}{c} 1\ 0 end{array}right]u, ]"} (10 pts) find a state transformation z = T ( x ) {"version":"1.1","math":"( z= T(x))"} that brings the system into the controller form; (10 pts) represent the system in the z {"version":"1.1","math":"(z)"}-coordinates. Problem 2. (20 pts) For the dynamical system model, [ x ˙ 1 x ˙ 2 ] = [ x 1 + x 2 − x 1 + 2 x 2 2 + x 2 ] + [ 2 − 1 ] u , y = x 2 , {"version":"1.1","math":"begin{eqnarray} left[begin{array}{c} dot{x}_1\ dot{x}_2 end{array}right]&=&left[begin{array}{c} x_1+x_2\ -x_1+2x_2^2+x_2 end{array}right]+left[begin{array}{c} 2\ -1 end{array}right]u,\ y&=&x_2, end{eqnarray}"} (10 pts) find a state transformation z = T ^ ( x ) {"version":"1.1","math":"(z=hat{T}(x)) "} that brings the system into the observer form; (10 pts) represent the system in the z {"version":"1.1","math":"(z)"}-coordinates. Problem 3. (20 pts) For the uncertain dynamical system model, x ˙ = A x + B ( u + Φ m ) , {"version":"1.1","math":"[ dot{ x}= A x+ B (u + Phi_m), ] "}where A = [ 0 1 0 10 20 15 − 12 3 − 17 ] , B = [ 0 0 1 0 0 1 ] , and ‖ Φ m ‖ ≤ 10. {"version":"1.1","math":"begin{eqnarray}A&=&left[begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 1 & 0\ 10 & 20 & 15\ -12 & 3 & -17 end{array}right],,, B=left[begin{array}{cc} 0 & 0\ 1 & 0\ 0 & 1 end{array}right],\ &mbox{and}& |{Phi}_m|le 10. end{eqnarray}"} (10 pts) design a sliding surface σ ( x ) = S x = 0 {"version":"1.1","math":"(sigma(x)= S x= 0)"} so that the nominal system, x ˙ = A x + B u {"version":"1.1","math":"( dot{ x}= A x+ B u )"}, restricted to this surface has its pole located at − 3 {"version":"1.1","math":"(-3)"}; (10 pts) design a sliding-mode state-feedback stabilizing controller for the uncertain system so that the system in sliding has its pole at − 3 {"version":"1.1","math":"(-3)"}. Problem 4. (20 pts) Let A ∈ R m × m {"version":"1.1","math":"(Ain mathbb{R}^{mtimes m})"} and B ∈ R n × n {"version":"1.1","math":"( B in mathbb{R}^{n times n})"}. Express det ( A ⊗ B ) {"version":"1.1","math":"(det(Aotimes B))"} in terms of det A {"version":"1.1","math":"(det A) "} and det B {"version":"1.1","math":"(det B)"} where the symbol ⊗ {"version":"1.1","math":"(otimes)"} denotes the Kronecker product. (You may find the identities, ( A ⊗ C ) ( D ⊗ B ) = A D ⊗ C B {"version":"1.1","math":"(( Aotimes C)(Dotimes B)=ADotimes CB)"} and det ( A ⊗ I r ) = ( det A ) r {"version":"1.1","math":"(det (Aotimes I_r)=left(det Aright)^r)"}, to be useful in your derivation.) Then employ the obtained formula to evaluate det ( A ⊗ B ) {"version":"1.1","math":"(det(Aotimes B))"} for the case when A = [ 1 0 2 − 2 ] and B = [ 2 6 − 8 0 − 1 0 0 2 3 ] . {"version":"1.1","math":"[ A=left[begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0\ 2 &-2 end{array}right] quad mbox{and} quad B=left[begin{array}{ccc} 2 & 6 & -8\ 0 & -1 & 0\ 0 & 2 & 3 end{array}right]. ]"} Problem 5. (20 pts) For the uncertain dynamical system model, begin{eqnarray} dot{x} &=&left[begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1\ 0 & 1 end{array}right]x +left[begin{array}{c} 0\ 1 end{array}right]left(u+xi(t) right)\ &=& A x+b(u+xi(t))\ y&=& left[begin{array}{cc} 1 & 2 end{array}right]x= c x, end{eqnarray} where ( xi=xi(t)) represents the uncertainty in the system model, (|xi(t)|le 7), design a sliding-mode observer. The eigenvalues of the observer matrix, (A_o= A- l c), should be located at (-1/2pm jsqrt{3}/2). While solving the Lyapunov matrix equation, ( A_o^{top} P+ P A_o=- Q), take [ Q=left[begin{array}{cc} 2 & 1\ 1 & 2 end{array}right]. ] *** Congratulations, you are almost done with Midterm Exam 2.
