N 1) - Also Check The Script On The Function

This document provides instructions for two MATLAB exercises involving differentiation and integration. The first exercise involves writing a script to numerically compute the derivative of two test functions using a one-sided approximation. The script should also compute the error between the numerical and exact derivatives. The second exercise involves writing a script to numerically integrate the function f(x)=exp(-x) from 0 to 1 using the simplest approach of replacing the integral with a sum, and also using trapezoidal rule for comparison.
