    Exercise Sheet #3 Fall 2017

    1. Write the MATLAB commands to perform the task specified below:


    a. Store the string value 'I am studying' into variable named x and
    store the string value 'Introduction to Computer Programming'
    into variable y . During variable assignment, let MATLAB
    display the value of x , but not the value of y
    x = 'I am studying'
    y = 'Introduction to Computer Programming';
    b. Display the value of the pair composed of x and y , i.e., [ x y ]
    [x y]

    2. Follow the steps below to calculate the equivalent resistance of the


    two resistors R1=6 Ω and R2=3 Ω in case the two resistors are connected
    in series and in case they are connected in parallel:
    a. Store the values of resistances R1 and R2 in two variables.
    R1=6; R2=3;
    b. Calculate the equivalent resistance in the series case using the
    rule R s=R1 + R2
    Rs = R1 + R2
    c. Calculate the equivalent resistance in the parallel case using the

    R R
    1 2
    rule R p = R + R
    1 2

    Rp = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

    3. Use MATLAB to find the roots of a quadratic equation in the general


    form a x 2+ bx+ c=0 given the values fora , b andc . Namely, find the roots

    −b ± √ b2−4 ac
    x= , in each of the following cases:
    2a
    (i) a=1 ; b=3 ; c =2;

    a=1; b=3; c=2;


    1
    x1=(-b-sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/2/a
    x2=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/2/a
    (ii) a=1 ; b=2 ; c=2 ;

    b = 2;
    <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<enter>>
    <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<enter>>
    (iii) a=1 ; b=2 ; c=1 ;

    c = 1;
    <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<enter>>
    <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<up arrow>> <<enter>>

    4. Use MATLAB help to find the suitable built-in function to perform


    the following task: Create a random vector x with 100 uniformly
    distributed random numbers between 0 and 100. Find the minimum
    value, the maximum value, the mean and the standard deviation of the
    components of x .
    help
    look for “random”
    help randfun
    look for “uniformly distributed random numbers”
    help rand

    help
    look for “data analysis”
    help datafun
    look for “minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation”
    help min
    help max
    help mean
    help std

    2
    OR
    doc
    search for “uniformly distributed random numbers”,
    “minimum”, “maximum”, “mean”, “standard devation”
    read “rand”, “min”, “max”, “mean”, “std” built-in function
    documentation
    Script:
    x = 100 * rand(1, 100)
    min(x)
    max(x)
    mean(x)
    std(x)
