RESULTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

1. Machine Problem 1 The VI gives the correct roots of the quadratic equation.

2. Machine Problem 2 The VI gives the correct roots of the quartic equation.

3. Machine Problem 3 The VI converts the decimal number to its correct 16-bit binary and does
it correctly the other way around.

4. Machine Problem 4 The VI converts the decimal number to its correct Octal and vice versa.

5. Machine Problem 5 The VI produces the correct mean, sums of the error, sample variance,
standard deviation, and t-score.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The first machine problem only uses operators and uses the basic formula of finding the roots
of a quadratic equation. The second and the fifth machine problem is the hardest because it
needs to produce complex numbers and has a lot of operator being used. I have learned a lot
in these activities and it is really helpful for me to know more about Lab view.
