Lab Experiment 1: Introduction To MATLAB Objectives

This lab experiment introduces students to MATLAB through tutorials on defining variables, matrices, and plotting results. Students will learn how to write simple MATLAB codes and scripts. The exercises guide students to use MATLAB commands to perform tasks like extracting matrix rows, multiplying and dividing variables, generating random matrices, and plotting functions. The assignments have students create sinusoidal waveforms, factor polynomials, solve equations, and graph functions - requiring them to use commands like plot, ezplot, solve, fzero.

Introduction to MATLAB
Refer to the accompanied lecture.

Exercise 1.1:
Use MATLAB commands to obtain the following
a. Extract the fourth row of the matrix generated by magic (6)
b. Show the results of ‘x’ multiply by ‘y’ and ‘y’ divides by ‘x’. Given x = [0:0.1:1.1] and y =
[10:21]
c. Generate random matrix ‘r’ of size 4 by 5 with number varying between -8 and 9.
Exercise 1.2:
Use MATLAB commands to get exactly as the figure shown below.
x = pi/2:pi/10:2*pi
y = sin(x)
z = cos (x)
Exercise 1.3:
Use MATLAB command that would plot a circle with a diameter of 20 using the following equations:
x = r * sin(t)
y = r* cos(t) where t is from 0 to 2pi

Assignment:
AS 1.1: Create a MATLAB vector called sig1 representing approximately 5 cycles of the sinusoidal
voltage waveform cos(2πft) where the frequency is 1000* your seat number. Use at least 20 samples
per sinusoidal cycle. Plot sig1.

AS 1.2: Factor the polynomial x4 – y4.


AS 1.3: Use either solve or fzero, as appropriate, to solve the following equations:
(a) 8x + 3 = 0 (exact solution)
(b) 8x + 3 = 0 (numerical solution to 15 places)
(c) x3 + px + q = 0 (Solve for x in terms of p and q)
(d) ex = 8x − 4 (all real solutions). It helps to draw a picture irst.
AS 1.4: Use plot and/or ezplot, as appropriate, to graph the following functions:
(a) y = x3 − x for −4 ≤ x ≤ 4.
(b) y = sin(1/x2) for −2 ≤ x ≤ 2. Try this one with both plot and ezplot.
Are both results “correct”? (If you use plot, be sure to plot enough
points.)
(c) y = tan(x/2) for −π ≤ x ≤ π, −10 ≤ y ≤ 10 (Hint: First draw the plot;
then use axis.)
(d) y = e−x2 and y = x4 − x2 for −2 ≤ x ≤ 2 (on the same set of axes).

AS 1.5: Plot the functions x4 and 2x on the same graph and determine how many times their graphs
intersect. (Hint: You will probably have to make several plots, using intervals of various sizes, to find
all the intersection points.) Now find the approximate values of the points of intersection using fzero.
