Solution and Answer Guide
Chapman, MATLAB Programming for Engineers, 7e, CY2025, 9798214001531; Chapter 1:



1 Introduction to MATLAB

1.1 The following MATLAB statements plot the function y( x) = 4e−0.3x for the range

0  x  10 .
x = 0:0.1:10;
y = 4 * exp( -0.3 * x);
plot(x,y);

Use the MATLAB Edit/Debug Window to create a new empty script, type these
statements into the script, and save the file with the name test1.m. Then, execute the
program by typing the name test1 in the Command Window or clicking the Run
button. What result do you get?


Solution

When these statements are executed, the results are as shown below:

1.2 Exercise 1.2 is a procedural exercise, and there is no solution in this Solutions Manual.

1.3 Exercise 1.3 is a procedural exercise, and there is no solution in this Solutions Manual.

1.4 Calculate the results of the following expressions using the MATLAB Command Window:
−3
 1 3 
(a)  2 +  − 1
5 2 

(b) 2 −  0.5
1 1 1 1
(c) 1+ + 2 + 3 + 4
2 2 3 2


Solution
(a)

>> (1/(5^2) + 3/2*pi - 1)^(-3)
ans =
0.0189

(b)

>> 2*pi - pi^0.5
ans =
4.5107

(c)

>> 1 + 1/2 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^3 + 1/2^4
ans =
1.8495



1.5 Suppose that u = 1 and v = 3. Evaluate the following expressions using the MATLAB

Command Window:

4u
(a)
3v
2v −2
(b)
(u + v )
2



v3
(c)
v3 − u 3

(d)  v2
3
(e) u v +1
v+u 
(f) log10  
 v−u 

Solution

>> u=1;
>> v=3;
>> (4*u) / (3*v)
ans =
0.4444
>> (2*v^-2) / (u+v)^2
ans =
0.0139
>> v^3/(v^3 - u^3)
ans =
1.0385
>> (4/3)*pi*v^2
ans =
37.6991
>> u*sqrt(v) + 1
ans =
2.7321
>> log10( (v+u) / (v-u) )
ans =
0.3010

1.6 Evaluate the expressions in Exercise 1.5 by creating a single script file that calculates and
displays all six results. Execute the script file and observe the results.


Solution

An appropriate script file named test.m is shown below:

u = 1;
v = 3;

(4*u) / (3*v)
(2*v^-2) / (u+v)^2
v^3/(v^3 - u^3)
(4/3)*pi*v^2
u*sqrt(v) + 1
log10( (v+u) / (v-u) )

When this file is executed, the results are;

1.7 Suppose that x = 2 and y = –1. Evaluate the following expressions using MATLAB:

(a) 2x 3
4


(b) 4
2 y3

Note that MATLAB evaluates expressions with complex or imaginary answers
transparently.


Solution
(a)

>> (2 * x^3) ^ (1/4)
ans =
2

(b)

>> (2 * y^3) ^ (1/4)
ans =
0.8409 + 0.8409i




1.8 The equation of an ellipse centered at the origin is:

x2 y 2
+ =1 (0.1)
a 2 b2

where a and b are distances from the center along the x and y axes, respectively. The area
of this ellipse can be calculated from the equation
