PART 1:

%Creating equations, Calculating roots, Outputting transfer functions etc.

clc; %Clears the MATLAB Command Window
close all; %Closes all figures
clear all; %Clears all variables
p1=[3 9 8 7 3] %Defines the coefficients of a linear equation
printsys(p1,[3 9 8 7 3],'s') %Outputs the polynomial of the equation
%as a transfer function and also in
%symbolic form, where the variable
%is labelled as "s"
polyval(p1,1) %Evaluates the polynomial of the equation
%with a value of 1
r1=roots(p1) %Calculates the roots of the equation
p2=poly(r1) %Creates an equation from the roots (r1).
%This should match with the original equation(p1).
%But it will not match exactly in this case.
%This is because the imaginary portion of the
%complex root has fractions and MATLAB cannot
%incorporate all digits to the right of a
%fraction in computations.
printsys(p2,[3 9 8 7 3],'s') %Outputs the equation as a transfer function
%and also in symbolic form, where the variable
%is labelled as "s". This should match with
%the previous transfer function

PART 2:

CODE:

exp1=[3 9 8 7 3]; %Define an expression called exp1

exp2=[3 9 8 7 3]; %Define an expression called exp2
exp=conv(exp1,exp2) %Multiply these two expresions and store the
%result in exp

DISCUSSION:

In this experiment we came to know about the use CAD tool-MATLAB and also how it could be used to
describe control system functions. We have learnt Creating polynomial functions, finding roots of a
polynomial function, evaluating polynomials, calculating product of two polynomial functions in
MATLAB. We have obtained transfer functions and step responses of open-loop and closed-loop control
systems. Our faculty helps us a lot to learn all of these and also gave us solutions which we have faced
during the experiment. Overall, the experiment is enough to understand about MATLAB.
