Plotting Polynomials The function polyval(a,x)evaluates a polynomial at specified values of its independent variable x, which can be a matrix or a vector. The polynomial’s coefficients of descending powers are stored in the array a. The result is the same size as x. Example of Plotting a Polynomial To plot the polynomial f (x) = 9x3 – 5x2 + 3x + 7 for –2 ≤ x ≤ 5, you type a = [9,-5,3,7]; x = [-2:0.01:5]; f = polyval(a,x); plot(x,f),xlabel(’x’),ylabel(’f(x)’) * * Numeric and Structure Arrays Specification of a position vector using Cartesian coordinates. Figure 2.1–1 The vector p can be specified by three components: x, y, and z, and can be written as: p = [x, y, z]. However, MATLAB can use vectors having more than three elements. To create a row vector, separate the elements by semicolons. For example, p = [3,7,9] p = 3 7 9 You can create a column vector by using the transpose notation (). p = [3,7,9] p = 3 7 9 You can also create a column vector by separating the elements by semicolons. For example, g = [3;7;9] g = 3 7 9 2-4 The colon operator (:) easily generates a large vector of regularly spaced elements. Typing x = [m:q:n] creates a vector x of values with a spacing q. The first value is m. The last value is n if m - n is an integer multiple of q. If not, the last value is less than n. For example, typing x = [0:2:8] creates the vector x = [0,2,4,6,8], whereas typing x = [0:2:7] creates the vector x = [0,2,4,6]. To create a row vector z consisting of the values from 5 to 8 in steps of 0.1, type z = [5:0.1:8]. If the increment q is omitted, it is presumed to be 1. Thus typing y = [-3:2] produces the vector y = [-3,-2,-1,0,1,2]. 2-7 The linspace command also creates a linearly spaced row vector, but instead you specify the number of values rather than the increment. The syntax is linspace(x1,x2,n), where x1 and x2 are the lower and upper limits and n is the number of points. For example, linspace(5,8,31) is e
