Practical Questions
Q1: By using Subplot command Draw the graphs of following functions each one with
its specified command:
- sin(1/x) , fplot command
- y='x^2+x+1, ezplot('x^2+x+1')
- y=sin(x),area(x,sin(x))
- y=exp(-x.*x),barh(x, exp(-x.*x));
put the suitable labels for x and y axis.
Put a suitable title for each graph refer to used command .
Hint : x=0:.01:1
Solution:
x=0:.01:1;
subplot(221), fplot(@(x)sin(1./x))
xlabel('x'),ylabel('sin (1/x)'),title(' fplot command')

 Q2:
1- for fplot command of the y=sin(x)(at interval[0.02,0.2]) use the line style of : black
color, diamond symbol character, and solid line style.
2- for semilogx command of y=exp(-x^2) (at x=[0,5]) use red , point , dotted line.
3- for semilogy command of y=exp(-x^2) (at x=[0,5]) use yellow , square , dashdot line.
4- for loglog command of y=exp(-x^2) (at x=[0,5]) use green , circle, dashed.
