Fall 2012 MATH 151 MATLAB Assignment 2

1. Students will work individually on this assignment.
2. In Chapter 3 of Stewart, do the following problems.
   
   • p232 #5, #9, #21, #30*
3. For each problem, you'll work out of the MATLAB Editor. You'll interactively save and run your MATLAB M-file and publish your results to a PDF file which you can print from the calclabsusing xprint or transfer and print locally.
4. You'll print out the .pdf files. Do any hand work on ruled notebook paper or engineering green graph paper.
5. This assignment is due the week of 29-30 Oct, at the START of your computer lab. Be sure to manage your time according to your schedule. Do NOT put things off! It is highly advisable that you use the 50 minutes in lab to complete as much of the assignment as possible while your TA is available to help.
6. When you finish, you will turn in the documentation of your Matlab work to your TA. Make sure the following information is on a cover sheet.

   • Section xxx, Your Name, Student UIN
7. Various MATLAB videos that you have viewed in advance show how to use xprint to print your .pdf files from CalcLab. Alternatively, transfer your files to the Open Access Lab or your personal computer using a flash drive, email, or FileZilla for printing.

• For ALL problems: you should plot the function first to determine your initial "guess" x₀, especially if no such value is given in the problem! Then use your own program or the function newton which was downloaded in your original setup. Type help newton in the Command Window to view syntax (NOTE that it requires the use of anonymous functions from Gilat ch 6! See the video for more details)
• For #30, you will have to set up the equation by hand first.
• There are samples of the types of problems you have to do in the MATLAB streaming video.
