The document provides solutions to practice problems involving MATLAB functions, conditional statements, debugging code, loops, matrix indexing, and plotting. Some key points: - The rref and linspace functions are used to solve problems involving row reduced echelon forms and equally spaced vectors. - A conditional statement is written to return the string 'positive', 'negative', or 'zero' based on the sign of an input variable. - Code is debugged by fixing syntax and runtime errors to compute the solution vector to a matrix equation. - A for loop displays values from 10 to 46 in increments of 9. - Matrix indexing is used to extract specific elements from a sample matrix. -

Solutions to the practice quiz

Functions 1
Replace the blanks with the correct functions to accomplish the commented goal.

% compute the row reduced echelon form of A concatenated with b


A = rand(5, 5);
b = rand(5, 1);
x1 = rref([A,b]);

% generate a vector of 100 equally spaced points, given first value = 0, last value = 10.
x2 = linspace(0, 10, 100);

Decision branching 1
Write a conditional statement that will set y to 'positive' if the variable x is positive and set y to 'negative' if
the variable x is negative, and set y to 'zero' if the variable x is exactly zero.

Note: Your variable must EXACTLY named y, otherwise your response will not be graded.
function y = decisionbranching(x)
%Write your conditional statement here
if x == 0
y = 'zero';
elseif x > 0
y = 'positive';
elseif x < 0
y = 'negative';
end

% Randomly generate an integer value between -10 and 10


x = randi([-10, 10])

x = -1

% Test your function


decisionbranching(x)

ans =
'negative'

Debugging
Fix any syntax and runtime errors in the provided code to accomplish the stated goal.

A = [1, 0, 1;

1
2, 3, 1;
0, 1, 1;];
b = [1, 2, 3];

b = b'; % transpose the row vector into a column vector

rrefmat = rref([A, b]);

% I_soln should be a 3x1 vector consisting of the solution to the matrix equation Ax = b
I_soln = rrefmat(:,end)

I_soln = 3×1
-1.2500
0.7500
2.2500

Loops

Matrix Indexing
% Consider the following matrix

2
M = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5;
7, 8, 9, 10, 11;
12, 13, 14, 15, 16;
17, 18, 19, 20, 21;
22, 23, 24, 25, 26;];

% Retrieve 13, 14, and 15 from matrix M


a = M(3, 2:4)

a = 1×3
13 14 15

% Retrieve 1, 7, and 12 from matrix M


b = M(1:3, 1)

b = 3×1
1
7
12

% Retrieve 2 and 23 from matrix M


c = M([1, 5], 2)

c = 2×1

23

Plotting 3
Based on a physics experiment, we've modelled the position and velocity of a hypothetical particle. Using
this model, we've computed the particle's position and velocity for you and stored it into variables x and v,
respectively.

Plot the position (x) and velocity (v) as a function of time (t) for the particle together (eg. overlaid over top each
other) on a single plot and axis.

Format your plot as follows:

• Position – solid line plot with * markers at every data point


• Speed – no line, with + markers at every data point

Additionally:

• Set the x-axis label to 'Time (sec)'.

syms T
fx = sin(T)^2 + T;
fv = diff(fx, T);

t = [0:0.1:4]';

3
x = double(subs(fx, t));
v = double(subs(fv, t));

hf = figure;
plot(t, x, '-*'); % line plot with * markers
hold on; % keep existing plot on screen and overlay next plot
plot(t, v, '+'); % speed plot with only markers, no line
xlabel('Time (sec)') % set x label

Functions from above


function y = decisionbranching(x)

%Write your conditional statement here


if x == 0
y = 'zero';
elseif x > 0
y = 'positive';
elseif x < 0
y = 'negative';
end
