Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Write a MATLAB script that calculates the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Allow for user input for a, b, and c.

💡 Hint: Use the input function to take coefficients and the sqrt function for square root calculation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create an M-file that generates two separate plots: one for the function y = e^x and another for y = ln(x) over the interval (0, 10).

💡 Hint: Think of how to use the 'exp' and 'log' functions in MATLAB to generate both y values.
