CODE CHALLENGE NO. 3

1. You want to compare to sine, cosine and tangent functions with random arguments. The
goal is to create a script file that computes for the sine, cosine and tangent values of a 5-
element row vector which consists of random values from 0 to 360 degrees. The values
of the vector are to be assigned within the script in a variable called random_degrees.
Store the sine, cosine and tangent values in a 4x5 matrix (2nd, 3rd and 4th row) called
sincostan. Save the script as trigo_solver.

Sample Run:
>> trigo_solver

random_degrees =

58 242 264 261 24

sincostan =

58.0000 242.0000 264.0000 261.0000 24.0000

0.8480 -0.8829 -0.9945 -0.9877 0.4067
0.5299 -0.4695 -0.1045 -0.1564 0.9135

2. Write a script file named square_cube which generates 3 matrices:

a. A matrix called rand_mat which is an n-by-n random matrix of integers from -10
to 10.
b. A matrix named square_mat whose elements are the square of the matrix
rand_mat.
c. A matrix named cube_mat whose elements are the cube of the matrix rand_mat.

Note:
The function should prompt the user to enter the size of the square matrix n is an input
argument.
The 3 matrices rand_mat, square_mat and cube_mat should be displayed when the
function is called.

Sample Run:
>> square_cube
This script generates 3 matrices rand_mat, square_mat and cube_mat.
Enter the size of the matrix: 3
n=

rand_mat =
0 -3 -2
-3 -8 -5

square_mat =

64 36 4

cube_mat =
0 -27 -8
-27 -512 -125
512 216 -8

MATLAB Code:
This program will compute for the square and cube of the matrix of the random numbers
with a range of -10 to 10
Enter the size of the matrix = 3
rand_mat =
-9 -1 -5

3. A scientist measured the temperature in Manila every 3:00pm for a rainy week. His data
was saved in a spreadsheet and he plans to load it in MATLAB to perform some data
analysis.
Write a script called tempdataconverter which loads the spreadsheet data into a matrix.
Create a 4x7 matrix called temp_manila which contains the original data (1st and 2nd
row), and the measurements converted to degrees Fahrenheit (3rd row) and Kelvin (4th
row).

Note:
Download the spreadsheet here and place it in your MATLAB working directory.
Read the documentations for the function importdata.

MATLAB Code:

This program will convert the temperature given to kelvin and fahrenheit.
