Write the following in your command prompt:

x=[5,-3,18,4];
y=[-9,13,7,4];
z=~y>x

You will get the following:

z =

1×4 logical array

0 1 0 0

Write the following in your command prompt:

x=[5,-3,18,4];
y=[-9,13,7,4];
z = x & y
You will get the following:

z =

1×4 logical array

1 1 1 1

Write the following in your command prompt:

x=[5,-3,18,4];
y=[-9,13,7,4];
z = x|y

You will get the following:

z =
 1×4 logical array

1 1 1 1

Write the following in your command prompt:

x=[5,-3,18,4];
y=[-9,13,7,4];
z = xor(x,y)

You will get the following:

z =

1×4 logical array

0 0 0 0

Open a function file. Write the following:

function y = p8(x)
%Converts from F to C
y=(5/9)*(x-32);
end
Click Run. Your function name will be same as your file name. I used my function as p8 (means problem
8). Now, write the following in your command window:

p8([32,212])

Press Enter. You will get the following:

ans =

0 100

Open a function file. Write the following:

function t = p9(h,v0,g)
%Computes the time t to reach height h, with initial speed v0
roots ([0.5*g,-v0,h])
end

Click Run. Your function name will be same as your file name. I used my function as p8 (means problem
8). Now, write the following in your command window:

p9(100,50,9.81)

Press Enter. You will get the following:

ans =
