2 Questions
Students must represent those processing of questions in the submitted report.
Question 1: Write MATLAB’s command with the equation of y = ln(x) that results from

(a) Shifting down 4 units (d) Shifting down 3, right 3 units

(b) Vertical stretching by a factor of 3 (e) Reflecting about the y−axis
(c) Shifting left 1, up 2 units (f) Reflecting about the line y = x

Next, students represent your results which include MATLAB’s command and the graph of above
equations in your report. (3 points)
Question 2: Write MATLAB’s command to find the limit or explain why it does not exist (1 points)

x2 − 4x + 4 (x + h)2 − x2
(a) limx→2 (c) limx→0
x3 + 5x2 − 14x h
x2 + x (x + h)2 − x2
(b) limx→−1 5 (d) limh→0
x + 2x4 + x3 h

dx
a composite y = u2 and u = 3x2 + 12. (1 points)
Question 5: Write MATLAB’s command to find the line tanget k(x, y) to the curve f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 + 1
at (1, 1) and show f (x, y) and k(x, y) on the same graph. (1 points)
Question 6: Write MATLAB’s command to find the partial derivative of function f (x, y) at the specified
point (using the limit definition of partial derivative)

f (x, y) = 5 − 2x + 4y − x2 y 2
