Homework 3
  1. 10.11 Use matlab to compute the integral of the function:
    cos2(0.5x)sin4(0.5x)
    in the range [0 ... pi]
    Turn in the matlab command used to compute this function and the answer.
  2. 9.1 The position a particle, moving as a function of time, is given by:
    x = (2+4 cos(t)) cos(t)
    y = (2+4 cos(t)) sin(t)
    z = t2
    Plot the position of the particle for t varying from 0 to 20. Use enough values of t that the plot looks smooth. Turn in the matlab commands used to make this plot and the plot itself.

  3. 9.5 Make a 3-D surface plot and a contour plot (both in the same figure) of the function:
    z = (y+3)2 + 1.5x2 - x2y
    for values of x and y ranging from -3 to 3.
    (hint, use meshgrid, and look up the help for "contour" . Turn in the matlab commands used to make this plot and the plot itself.
