Lab questions
This lab covers Variables, Matrices, Built-in Functions, and Plotting:
- Consider the relationship
Find
and
. Evaluate
,
, and
at
. Then, plot the relationships
,
, and
for the domain
. Label your plot and plot legend appropriately.
- Consider the sequence whose terms are
. Evaluate the sum of the first twenty terms. Then, evaluate the infinite sum
Use the ListPlot command to plot the first ten terms of the ordered pairs
. Label the plot appropriately and use the option “Joined->True”.
- Consider the matrix
Plot the relationship between the determinant of
and
for
. Label the plot appropriately. From the plot, can you identify the values of
for which the determinant is equal to zero?
