1. Problem 1.3 (page 41)

2. Problem 1.10 (page 41)
3. Problem 1.13(page 42).
4. Problem 1.30 (page 44).
5. In the series show here 20 + 21 + 22 + ⋯ + 2𝑛 , using for loop evaluate sum of the series,
when n=10; also find out 6th term in the series.

𝑥0 𝑥1 𝑥𝑝
6. The Maclaurin series of 𝑒 𝑥 = + + ⋯+ + ⋯, write an user defined function to
0! 1! 𝑝!
approximate this series in order to facilitate 𝑝 number of terms in the series, compare the
value obtained from the function at 𝑥 = 2 with MATLAB inbuilt function, when you
take p=2,3,4 terms.

7. Velocity of rocket as piece-wise time is given by,

10𝑡 2 − 5𝑡 0≤𝑡<8
624 − 5𝑡 8 ≤ 𝑡 < 16
𝑣(𝑡) = 36𝑡 + 12(𝑡 − 16)2 16 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 26

Write a user defined function to compute a function t, also plot v(t) vs time (t) as t varies from 5
to 50.
