MT #5 is a Maple Assignment [This needs to be handed in.] (You can use maple or web-maple (with pdf mode)) MT #5 is due Thursday 4 Oct 2001 Papers which are not STAPLED will not be acepted ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All plots need to have a title which includes your name, (eventually plots might have multiple functions and plots with mulitple functions need legends.) Be sure to answer the questions as Maple comments. One can add titles to plots like plot(sin(x),x=0..2*Pi,title="Catch the Wave"); Introduction to Syntax. Note often the expressions below are not given in a format exceptable to Maple. For example, Maple does not understand 3x as 3*x, one must enter 3*x. Maple uses Pi for pi and does not know about e (either use exp(x) for e^x, or define e:=exp(1) before using it). Typing ?diff into webmaple will give you help on the the diff command Do the following using maple 0. Enter your name as an assignment statement like MyName:="Jane Doe"; 1. Find both an exact answer and an decimal approximation (scientific notation) to 3/2 to the 100th power. 2. Find both an exact answer and an decimal approximation (scientific notation) for the binomial coefficient `100 choose 20' which is usually written somewhat like the below. /100\ 100! 100*99*98* ... *81 ( ) = ------- = ------------------ \ 20/ 20! 80! 20*19*18* ... * 1 3. Make Maple find the anti-derivatives to both x^10 e^2x and x^10 sin 2x. 4. The cubic equation x^3-x+3 has one real root and two complex roots. Find both an exact answer and an decimal approximation for the real root. [Hints, solve(...) will give all 3 roots, use `solve(...)[n]' to pick off the root you want (n=1 gives the first root, n=2 the second, etc). An alternate way of finding a numberical approximation is the fsolve command. Although not required you might plot the function to gain insight.] 5. Plot the functions, arctan x, x-x^3/3, x-x^3/3+x^5/5, x-x^3/3+x^5/5 - x^7/7 on the same graph. limit x to -3 to 3 and y to -2 to 2. Use a legend [Hint: check out: plot([x^2,x^3,x^4],x=0..1,linestyle=[2,3,4], title="powers of x", legend=["x^2","x^3","x^4"],thickness=[1,2,3],color=black);] [Hint2: If you are using webmaple you need to reload gifs or use pdfmode.] [Future observation (not required but for insight): try taylor(cos(x),x=0,7) and taylor(arctan(x),x=0,8) with Maple or use the taylor function in your calculator. This will show you where the polynomials are coming from.]
