Assignment # 1 AMS 147 By Eric Yu

1) Quadratic equation x^2+b*x+c = 0 has two roots. They are given by r1 = (-b+sqrt(b^2-4*c))/2 and r2 = (-b-sqrt(b^2-4*c))/2. Fix the value of c at c=1, plot r1 and r2 as functions of b for b in [2,3]. Plot two curves in one figure. Use about 100 points to represent each curve. a. I simply set the value of c to 1. Set boundary for b and used about 100 points from between 2, 3 for the curve. I then set r1 and r2 to its function and then plotted them onto one figure.

b. c. The first curve (r1) slowly reached its peak value, while r2 quickly reached and continued reaching the peak value. Since r2 is both b and square rooted, then it was faster reaching its peak value than compared with r1. 2) Plot the surface f(x,y)=sin(x^2+y^2)*exp(-sqrt(x^2+y^2)) for x in [-3,3] and y in [-3,3]. Use about 30 points in each dimension to represent the surface. a. I referred to the given codes we were to look at and studied them. On one of the codes, it plotted a 3D plot similar to this problem. So I just modified the code and inserted mine plotted it.

b. c. At first I didnt know if this is the right graph because I had used it with wolfram alpha to check it. Wolfram had a different graph, but I tried tweaking it but it still came out with the same graph. The graph had 3 different axis: x,y, and f. The various colors depict the depth of the graph and regions. 3) Write a Matlab code to read in data from "data1.txt" (in http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~hongwang/Codes/Read_data) and plot the data. Plot the fitting function f(x)=exp(-c*x)*cos(2*x) along with the data. Adjust the value of "c" to fit the data. Use linear scales for both the X- and Y- axes. a. For this problem, I understood that we needed to load a file within the folder and use that data to plot it. So I modified the other given code and used the write code to load data1.txt. To graph and plot, it was as the same before, but this time, there was also another function also implementing the data1.txt. I looked at the other code and found out how to do it.

b. c. I wasnt sure if I had done it right, but I managed to have 2 plotted data so I was generally pleased with what I have. It was pretty difficult as I didnt understand the question at first.
