MATLAB Problem Set 3


Use MATLAB to solve these problems. Copy the scripts in the Command Window, M-files, and
figures [from menu bar, click edit, then choose copy figure] into a WORD document. Specify which
part comes from the Command Window or M-files.
Problem 1
The table gives data for the distance traveled along five truck routes and the corresponding time
required to travel each route. Use the data to compute the average speed required to drive each route.
Find the route that has the highest average speed.

Sol

>> distance=[560,440,490,530,370]

distance =

560 440 490 530 370

>> Time=[10.3 8.2 9.1 10.1 7.5]

Time =

10.3000 8.2000 9.1000 10.1000 7.5000

>> Average velocity=distance./Time

Average velocity =

54.3689 53.6585 53.8462 52.4752 49.3333

>> [distance, n ]=max(Average velocity)


distance =

54.3689

n=

Problem 2
Create, save, and run a script file that solves the following set of equations for given values of a, b,
and c. Check your file for the case a = 112, b = 75, and c = -67.

6x - 4y + 8z = a
-5x – 3y + 7z = b
14x + 9y – 5z = c

Sol

>> alg
