How to do simple arithmetic calculations the arithmetic
operations are:
addition (+)

Solve for x and
check the result.
• It can be solved by taking log
on both sides

• Or
Solve for x and
check the result.
• How to verify this
solution?
• Put this value in the
given equation if
equation is satisfied
then the solution is
correct.

Matlab recognizes the letters i and j as the imaginary
number

The difference between complex numbers 2 + 5i or 2+5*i.

The former case is always interpreted as a complex number whereas

the letter case is taken as a complex number only if i has not been
assign any local value.

Same is true for j

difference between both?
