Performance Objectives

A. To familiarize ourselves with MATLAB

B. To be able to use it’s operators
C. To be familiar with different operations that can be done using matrices.
D. To write a program that uses matlab operators and matrices.

INTRODUCTION

Matlab is an interactive package for numerical analysis, matrix manipulation, control systems design,
linear system analysis and digital signal processing. The most recent application of matlab is for digital
filters, their design and application, using “toolboxes” specifically the DSP toolbox.

TO OPEN MATLAB

Go to start menu, programs and look for the matlab application and open it or double-click the matlab
icon on the desktop to access the matlab software. The matlab command window will appear. This is
where you enter commands at the >>prompt and where the matlab displays the numerical outputs.

TO EXIT MATLAB:

Type Quit on the command prompt or select Exit matlab from the File menu.

ONLINE HELP

Help is always available every session of matlab. Matlab is case sensitive, meaning all commands and
variables must be entered in lower case. There are several ways to get help:

* The help command >> help

Help is used if you know the syntax for the command but you do not know how to use the
command, matlab will give you a lecture for that command:
Example: >>help plot
This will give you lecture all about plot command

Objective A and B

I. Computing for variables using formulas

A. Define all the variables that are listed below. These variables are needed to solve some formulas.
B. After assigning values on the variables, solve the formulas by typing it to the command window.
Don’t use the semi colon so that you will be able to see the answer. Fill up all the blanks with your
answers.

2. Now, create the matrices given using commands that will extract elements of reference matrices.
Take note: you must not define those matrices, the elements must be extracted using the lecture
discussed above. Write the command that you used on the space given below.

a. Command: F = [E(1,:); D(3,:); C(5,:);];

F=
1.0000 1.5000 2.0000
2.5000 3.0000

0 10.0000

b. Command: G = [A([4 7]) A(4) D([10 13]) ; A([5 8]) D([4 11 14]); A([6
9 5]) D([12 15])];

G=
2 3 2 7 9
5 6 3 17 19

c. Now, create a matrix that has the required conditions:

- first row is from 10 to 5.5 with a decrement of 0.5
- second row if from 7 to 16
- third row is –50 to 40 with an increment of 10

Command: H = [10:-0.5:5.5; 7:-0.5:16; -50:10:40];
