(1) Write a MATLAB script to solve the linear system Ax = b, where A is an


invertible diagonal matrix. Taking A = diag(1, 2, 3) and b = [1, 1, 1]T , solve
for x.
(2) Write MATLAB code to implement the forward substitution method to
solve the linear system Ax = b, where A is a non-singular lower triangular
matrix. Use it to solve for x if A and b are given as follows:
0 1
1 0 0
A=@ 1 1 0 A
3 0.5 1
and b = [1, 2, 1]T .
(3) Write a MATLAB script for implementing the backward substitution method
to solve the system Ax = b, where A is a non-singular upper triangular ma-
trix. Use this code to solve for x if A and b are as follows:
0 1

A=@ 0 2 3 A
0 0 6.5
and b = [1, 7, 6.5]T .

tions Ax = b, where A is a non-singular matrix.

time. To find the velocity at t = 21s, you are asked to use a quadratic
polynomial, v(t) = at2 + bt + c to approximate the velocity profile.

v(t)m/s 0 227.04 362.78 517.35 602.97 901.67

The correct set of equations that will find a, b and c are


225a + 15b + c = 362.78
400a + 20b + c = 517.35
