Problem #3: Write a program that shows the piecewise functions depending on the value input by users
Approach: Create variables using user input. Use if and elseif statements to output functions depending on the
values of the variables and a while loop to run code multiple times.

Problem 4: Determine max, min, and variance of the array

Approach: Use a for loop to determine the max and min and total of the array. Use a different for loop for
variance so that the final mean is used instead of changing it up with each iteration.

Problem 5: Create a matrix whose values are based on the values of the indices
Approach: Create a matrix of zeros, then replace them with values based on the value of the indices. Use an if
statement to assign values depending on whether the sum is odd or even as determined by mod operator.

Problem 6: Write a program to plot a function and its derivatives

Approach: Use various functions for plotting found on MTALAB website to create a labeled graph on
appropriate axes with certain markers. Plot on the same graph by using a single plot function.
