QUESTION
Q1: Consider the function y = x2e-4x. Write a Matlab scripts that will produce a smooth graph of this
function on the interval x = [0,3]
Q2: Use fplot command to plot the function: f(x) = 0.01x5 0.03x4 + 0.4x3 2x2 6x + 5 in the domain
-4 x6
Q3: Write an if statement that prints boo if number is between 12 and 17, inclusive.
Q4: Write code that prints blue for numbers less than 5, green for numbers from 5 to 10
inclusive, and mauve for numbers higher than 10.

Q6: Write a Matlab code to calculate the following summation:

3*(2+1) + 4*(3+2+1) + 5*(4+3+2+1) + 6*(5+4+3+2+1) + .... + 1000*(999 + ... + 1)
Q7: Mr. Rahim just received his April salary which is RM 4000 and he wants to invest in one of the

Type of Service
Ground

Weight 0 2 kg
RM 1.50 per Kg

Air

RM 3.00

Overnight

RM 11

Weight 2 10 kg
RM 1.50 + RM0.50 for
each kg or fraction of a
kg above 2 kg.
RM 3.00 + RM0.70 for
each kg or fraction of a
kg above 2 kg.
RM 11.00 + RM 2.50 for
each kg or fraction of a
kg above 2 kg.

Weight 10 50 kg
RM 5.00 + RM0.50 for each kg
or fraction of a kg above 10 kg.
RM 7.00 + RM 0.60 for each kg
or fraction of a kg above 10 kg.
No overnight service
packages above 10 kg

for

The program asks the user to enter the weight and the type of service. The program then displays
the cost. If a weight larger that 50 kg is entered for ground or air services, a message Ground (or
Air) services is not available for packages that weight more that 50 kg is displayed. If a weight larger
than 10 kg is entered for overnight services a message Overnight service is not available for
package that weight more than 10 kg is displayed.
