6. In the Matlab command window, use the “upper arrow” key on

your keyboard to recall the command corresponding to the
command for Ex.1(1). Then use the “left arrow” and “right
arrow” key to edit the command such that you can calculate

1 122  2
x 
22 36 log(7)

7. Calculate x + z. Then use the clear command to clear the

variables x and z, and try x + z again.

8. Use the lookfor command to find out the command

corresponding to the log2(𝑦) function, then use the help
command to obtain detailed.
