Chapter 11

4. To see how to solve linear system symbolically, try

>> B = [sin(sym(1)) sin(sym(2)) ; sin(sym(3)) sin(sym(4))]

>> c = [1; 2]
>> x = B \ c
>> pretty ( x )
Now input the matrix

Cs = [1 2; 2 4]

Symbolic as above by wrapping each number in sym. Create a numerical version via Cn = double (Cs) and
define the two vectors d1 = [4; 8] and d2 = [1; 1]. Solve the system (as in the third line of code above)
Cs*x = d1, Cn*x = d1, Cs*x = d2, and Cn*x = d2. Explain the results. Does the symbolic or non-symbolic
way give more information?
