Effective Practices for Managers and Supervisors
Complete the chart detailing twenty (20) effective practices for managers and supervisors.
Use any of the textbook readings from Weeks 1-5. At least three examples should be from the Week 5 chapters.
The first chart shows two examples, including the general category of the practice (i.e., communication, motivation, conflict management, etc.), details, and source.

Ex. 1
Teleconferencing
Communication
Teleconferencing, or videoconferencing, can improve the efficiency of communication. It permits people at various locations to come together via audio and/or video, saving time and cost of meeting face-to-face.
Stojkovic, 2015, p. 120.
Ex. 2
Supervisory skills
Supervisory skills
Supervisors are more effective when they possess three types of skills: technical (specialized knowledge or expertise), human (the ability to work with and motivate people), and conceptual (the ability to analyze and diagnose complex situations).
Stojkovic, 2015, p. 239.

1) Write the following single variable functions as functions in MATLAB
a. 𝑓(𝑥) = sin(2𝑥2)
b. 𝑔(𝑥) = √𝑥2 + 400
c. ℎ(𝑥) = tan(𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥))
2) Create functions for the following
a. (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔 ∘ ℎ)(𝑥) Composite function
b. 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥) + ℎ(𝑥) Addition
c. 𝑓(𝑥) ⋅ 𝑔(𝑥) ⋅ ℎ(𝑥) Mutliplication
d. Evaluate these functions with 𝑥 = 1
3) Write the following as multivariable functions in MATLAB
a. 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥2 + 𝑦2
b. 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦) = 2𝑥𝑦
c. ℎ(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑧2
d. Compute the following
i. 𝑓(3,4)
ii. √𝑓(3,4)
iii. 𝑔(5,3)
4) We want to extend our knowledge a little further
Write functions for +, -, *, / and call them ‘add’, ‘subtract’, ‘multiply’, ‘divide’
Now use these functions to compute
3 + 2 ⋅ 6 −

5) Write a function called fact which takes in a paramenter 𝑛 and returns 𝑛!
Please use a for loop, do not copy the example on the MATLAB help guide
e.g. fact(5) should return 5! = 120
Advanced
1) Write a function my_trace to compute the trace of a matrix
2) Write a function my_sum to sum all the elements of a matrix
3) Write a function sum_rows to sum all the rows of a matrix, note this should return back a row vector
4) Write a function to sum_cols sum the columns of a

1) Write the following single variable functions as functions in
MATLAB
a. �(�) = sin(2�2)
b. �(�) = √�2 + 400
c. ℎ(�) = tan(���(�))
2) Create functions for the following
a. (� ∘ � ∘ ℎ)(�) Composite function
b. �(�) + �(�) + ℎ(�) Addition
c. �(�) ⋅ �(�) ⋅ ℎ(�) Mutliplication
d. Evaluate these functions with � = 1
6. 3) Write the following as multivariable functions in MATLAB
a. �(�, �) = �2 + �2
b. �(�, �) = 2��
c. ℎ(�, �, �) = �� + �2
d. Compute the following
i. �(3,4)

e.g. fact(5) should return 5! = 120
Advanced
1) Write a function my_trace to compute the trace of a matrix
2) Write a function my_sum to sum all the elements of a matrix
3) Write a function sum_rows to sum all the rows of a matrix,
note this should return back a row vector
4) Write a function to sum_cols sum the columns of a matrix,
note this should return back a column vector
5) Combine the functions in 3 and 4 into 1 function
sum_row_or_cols which takes an additional parameter
that let’s you choose to sum either columns or rows. 1 should
sum over columns, 2 should sum over rows.
i.e. you should call sum_row_or_cols(A,1) or
sum_row_or_cols(A,2)
