LABORATORY ACTIVITY 1
Instruction: Please perform the following problem using Mat Lab software. Write the answer on your
bluebook and analyze how you arrive to the answer. Please also provide for the graph if being required.
For the proof, please screen shot your answer with your name as comment. Please create your folder
(ex. Dacuya, Jonicio) on this link
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PRsQcnqHerPb8fWKTY5Os5Ai4nqPQ2nh?usp=sharing.

Sample Output:

Blue Book
1. What is the output?

a = 3;
b = 9;
c = 2*a+b^2-a*b+b/a-10

Explanation:
The right hand side of that statement is first evaluated: r.h.s. = 2 x 3 + 92 - 3 x 9 + 9/3 - 10 = 53.
