MATLAB Will Execute The Above Statement and Return The Following Result

The document describes MATLAB functions for calculating the maximum of a set of numbers, finding the roots of a quadratic equation, and calculating the discriminant of a quadratic equation. It includes code for functions to calculate the maximum, find quadratic roots directly and using a nested function, and defines a discriminant sub-function. Examples are provided to demonstrate executing the functions and returning results.

function [x1,x2] = quadratic(a,b,c)


%this function returns the roots of
% a quadratic equation.
% It takes 3 input arguments
% which are the co-efficients of x2, x and the
%constant term
% It returns the roots

Purpose

A(:,j)

is the jth column of A.

A(i,:)

is the ith row of A.

A(:,:)

is the equivalent two-dimensional array. For matrices


this is the same as A.

A(j:k)

is A(j), A(j+1),...,A(k).

A(:,j:k)

is A(:,j), A(:,j+1),...,A(:,k).

A(:,:,k)

is the kth page of three-dimensional array A.

A(i,j,k,:
)

is a vector in four-dimensional array A. The vector


includes A(i,j,k,1), A(i,j,k,2), A(i,j,k,3), and so on.

A(:)

is all the elements of A, regarded as a single column. On


the left side of an assignment statement, A(:) fills A,
preserving its shape from before. In this case, the right

side must contain the same number of elements as A.
