Built-in Functions

 exp(x), sqrt(x), log(x), log10(x), cos(x),sin(x),acos(x)….


 Refer to table 3.1-1 & 3.1-2 pg 142 & 146

Anonymous Functions
 Creating a function at the command prompt
 Syntax
function_handle = @(arglist) expr
where - arglist is a comma-separated list of input arguments
- expr is any single valid MATLAB expression
 Example
>> sqrtsum = @(x,y) sqrt(x.^2 + y.^2);
>>sqrtsum (3, 4)
ans =
5

User-Defined Functions

 Syntax
function [output variables] = function_name (input variables)
definition of variables
 Example
function z = fun (x,y) >>w=fun(3,7)

u= 3*x; w=
303
z= u + 6*y.^2

A fence around a field is shaped as shown in Figure P25. It consists of a rectangle of
length L and width W and a right triangle that is symmetric about the central horizontal
axis of the rectangle. Suppose the width W is known (in meters) and the enclosed area A
is known (in square meters). Write a MATLAB script file in terms of the given variables
W and A to determine the length L required so that the enclosed area is A. Also
determine the total length of fence required. Test your script for the valuesW = 6 m and
A =80 m2.
