FINAL EXAM
Open Book, Closed Notes
Create a Separate MATLAB Script File for Each Problem
Submit all MATLAB files to the Thumb Drive
Each MATLAB File Must Have the Following Header:

Problem 1 (5 Points): Calculate and plot the derivative of the following function over the range 𝑥 =
𝜋/10 to 9𝜋/10 using the Backward-Difference Method described in class (shown below). You must use a FOR
LOOP to solve this problem. Also, plot the original function on the graph.

𝑦 = cot(𝑥)

Problems 2, 3 and 4 are on back of this page.

Problem 2 (5 Points): Create a MATLAB script file to calculate and plot the function

9𝜋/10
𝑦 = 𝑦0 + ∫ −[csc(𝑥)]2 dx
𝜋/10

from 𝑥 = 𝜋/10 to 9𝜋/10 using the Trapezoidal Integration Method described in class (shown below). You
must use a FOR LOOP to solve this problem. Use the following value: 𝑦0 = 3.0777. Use 101 points from 𝑥 =
𝜋/10 to 9𝜋/10. Also plot the function being integrated −[csc(𝑥)]2 on the graph.

Problem 3 (5 Points): Create a MATLAB script file that uses the Euler Method discussed in class (shown
below) to solve the following differential equation. You must use a FOR LOOP to solve this problem. Plot the
solution from 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 10 seconds.

𝑦̇ + 0.8𝑦 2 − 4.4 [exp(−0.008t)][sin(8𝑡)] = 0; 𝑦(0) = 8.0

Euler Method:

𝑑𝑦 𝑦𝑘+1 − 𝑦𝑘
≅
𝑑𝑡 ∆𝑡

Problem 4 (5 Points): Using SIMULINK, solve the following differential equation, and plot 𝑦 from 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤
10 seconds.

3𝑦̈ + 5𝑦̇ + 75𝑦 1.2 = 10 sin(2𝑡) , 𝑦̇ (𝑡 = 0) = −10, 𝑦(𝑡 = 0) = 15
