MATLAB ASSIGNMENT 1
Purpose: Using Matlab to create plots of single variable functions in the xy-plane
Commands Used:
linspace (a, b, n)
diff(f(x),k,x)
f = @(x,y,z,t,)vectorized expression
subs(expression)
plot (x,y,)
clear all
[a:b:c]
clc
clf reset
figure(k)
hold on/off
title('Your title','color','your color', 'FontName','Your
Font','FontWeight','bold','FontSize',12)
legend('String1','String2',,'Location', 'the location')
set(handle, other options)
set(gca, other options)
xlabel ('String', other options)
ylabel ('String', other options)
axis square/equal
axis([a, b, c, d])
grid on/off

Exercise 1.1: Use matlab to create a plot of the function

derivative
on the same set of axes over the interval
marks should be at points with coordinates

and its
. The x-axis tick
.

MATLAB CODE
clear all
clc

% clear all removes all variables.

% CLC clears the command window and homes the cursor.

GENERATING THE DATA TO BE PLOTTED

domf = linspace (-pi, pi, 60); % Creates 60 linearly spaced point over the interval
domg = domf;
f = @(x) sin(x.^2).*cos(x);

% defines f as an anonymous function (vectorized).

dfx = diff(f(x),x);

% calculates the symbolic derivative of f(x).

g = @(x)subs(dfx);

% defines the symbolic derivative of f(x) as an anonymous vectorized

%function g(x).

PLOTTING THE GENERATED DATA

clf reset

% clear the current figure window and reset it to its default values.

figure(1)

% create a figure window and called it figure 1

PLOT1 = plot (domf, f(x));

% create a graphics handle for the 2-D plot of x vs f(x).

hold on
PLOT2 = plot (domg, g(x));

% creates a second graphics handle for the 2-D plot of x vs g(x) in

%figure(1) window f(x).

hold off

Exercise 1.3: Plot the expressions

and

on the interval

The two graphs should form the unit circle

. Look up the axis command in Help to
see how to get the picture to actually look like a circle, rather than an ellipse.

% upper half of circle is the function f(x) = (1-x^2)^(1/2)
