MATLAB Assignment 1

Exercise 1.1
Output:
>>log(20)/log(8)
ans =
1.4406
Exercise 1.2
Comment:
Inputting m= -3:0.4:12 will create a row vector ranging from -3 to 12 in increments of 0.4.
Typing in m(26) will output the 26th element of the vector m.
Output:
>> m(26)
ans=
7
Exercise 1.3
Output:
>> z = 25-(100-7exp(5+cos(pi/3))
z = 25-(100-7exp(5+cos(pi/3))
Error: Unexpected MATLAB operator.
>> z = 25-(100-7*exp(5+cos(pi/3)))
z=
1.6378e+03
Exercise 1.4
Output:
>> g = inline('sin(x)/(x)')
>> fplot(g, [-10,10])

r= 1/3;
a=1;
for i=0:6
x= a*r^i
end

(b)
geomSeq.m
for i=0:6
x= a*r^i
end

(c)
function geomSeq(r)
a=1;

Exercise 1.6
Code:
(a)
function sum=mysum(r, n)
sum= 0;
for i=0:n
sum=sum+ 1/r^n;
end

end

Output:
>> mysum(3,12)

Exercise 1.7

Output:
>> dsolve('Dy=sin(t)')
ans =
C10 - cos(t)
>> dsolve('Dy=sin(t)', 'y(0)=3')
ans =
4 - cos(t)
Exercise 1.8
Output:
>> dsolve('Dy=(y-sin(y))')
Warning: Explicit solution could not be found; implicit
solution returned.
> In dsolve at 201
ans =
solve(y - sin(y) == 0, y)
solve(int(1/(y - sin(y)), y, IgnoreAnalyticConstraints) - t - C55 == 0, y)
Exercise 1.9
Output:
>> syms s t
>> g=log(sin(s)+cos(t))
g=

log(cos(t) + sin(s))
>> diff(g, 't')
ans =
-sin(t)/(cos(t) + sin(s))
>> diff(g, 's')
ans =
cos(s)/(cos(t) + sin(s))
Exercise 1.10
Output:
>> asin(1)
ans =
