A computer contains 8,000 diodes. When one diode fails, it is replaced. The cost of replacing it individually is Kshs. 40 only. If all the diodes are replaced at the same time, the cost per diode would reduce to Kshs.28. The percentage of surviving diodes, s (t) at the end of the month t is

The bus fare between cities 1-2 is the same as 2-1 etc and that the black spaces indicate that the routes are infeasible
Required
As an application to dynamic programming algorithm,
a. Draw a network diagram to represent the movement from origin (node 1) to destination or sink (node 10) clearly indicating the stages and nodes
b. Determine the path and hence the minimum bus fare for the problem

Explain why the phase margin is not defined for the system
: For a gain of 0.5, derive the gain margin and phase margin of the systems of Problem 4.6 analytically. Let T =5 1 with no loss of generality because the value of ωT in radians is all that is needed for the solution.
