SCILAB Program:
clear; clc; clf;

//Scilab function for x(t)

//The function returns the value of x for each value of t array-wise
function xv=x(t)
[m,n]=size(t)
for r=1:m
for c=1:n
if t(r,c)<-8 then
xv(r,c)=0; end;
if t(r,c)>=-8 & t(r,c)<-5 then
xv(r,c)=4; end;
if t(r,c)>=-5 & t(r,c)<-1 then
xv(r,c)=4+6*sin(0.25*%pi*t(r,c)+1.25*%pi); end;
 if t(r,c)>=-1 & t(r,c)<2 then
xv(r,c)=4; end;
if t(r,c)>=2 & t(r,c)<=6 then
xv(r,c)=6-t(r,c); end;
if t(r,c)>6 then
xv(r,c)=0; end;
end;
end;
endfunction;

// (b) Plot the graph

t=-10:0.01:10;
clf; plot2d(t,x(t)); xgrid();

// (c) Evaluate the integral of x(t) from negative infinity to infinity

// Since x(t) is zero for t<-8 and for t>6, the limits of integration
// can be changed as from t=-8 to t=6
t=-8:0.001:6;
C=inttrap(t, x(t))

//(d) Evaluate the integral of the square of x(t) from t=-5 to t=10
t=-5:0.001:10;

//(e) Plot the graph of y(t) from t=-25 to t 25 if y(t)=2-3x(0.4t+0.5)

t=-25:0.01:25;
clf; plot2d(t,2-3*x(0.4*t+0.5)); xgrid();
//(f) Evaluate the integral of y(t) from t=-30 to t=0 if y(t)=2-3x(0.4t+0.5)
t=-30:0.01:0;
F=inttrap(t,2-3*x(0.4*t+0.5))
