 Matrixes
1. Write a Matlab function file that generates a (NxN) matrix A:

A should have the following properties: All odd rows should alternate between 5, Row#, 5,… while all
even rows should alternate between 1,Row#,1,Row#,…

5 1 5 1 .. 5
1 2 1 2 .. 1 The inputs to the function should be the integer N and the output should be the matrix A.
5 3 5 3 .. 5 function A=problem1(N)
A
1 4 1 4 .. 1
A(N,N)=5;
.. .. .. .. .. ..
A(2:2:N,:)=1;
1 N 1 N .. 1
for row=1:N

for col=1:2:N

A(row,col)=row;

end

end
 Matrixes Operation

Write a matlab command to perform the followings:

 Create the matrix A

 Calculate the determinant of the matrix A
 Calculate the invert matrix A-1
 Calculate the covariance matrix of A
 System of Equations
• Solve the following system of equations:

-2x+y=3
x+y=10
Joe and Steve are saving money. Joe
starts with $105 and saves $5 per week.
5x+3y-z=10
Steve starts with $5 and saves $15 per
3x+2y+z=4 week. After how many weeks do they have
4x-y+3z=12 the same amount of money?

3x+y+z+w=24
x-3y+7z+w=12
2x+2y-3z+4w=17
x+y+z+w=0
 Plot and graph
1. Write a matlab script file that computes and plots 5 cycles of a sine wave as a function of
time?

a. Assume the sine wave has a frequency f = 100 Hz or period (cycle) T=1/f = 0.01s

b. An amplitude of A=2.0

c. A phase angle phi=180 degrees = 1pi

The equation of the sine wave is given by:

y(t) = A sin(2*pi*f*t+phi)
 Basic Matlab and Plot
Consider the following normal (Gaussian) distribution
function:

Write a Matlab script file to plot f(x) for x = -1 to x=1 (with

resolution of at least 1000 points) where =0, and 2=1 (or
standard normal distribution function)
 Function and script file:

• Should be able to write function and script file

• Know how to write equations:
• Y(x)=Sin(x)+25x, x=0-100
• Know how to plot, label, title, axis setting
• IF, while, for loop
Write a following functions
