To find the roots and the minimum of a function in MATLAB, you can use the roots and fminbnd functions.
First, define the function f(x):
main.m31 chars2 lines
To find the roots of the function, use the roots function with the coefficients [0.3, -sin(2)]:
main.m22 chars2 lines
To find the minimum of the function over the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, you can use the fminbnd function:
main.m28 chars2 lines
The fminbnd function returns the value of x at which the function is minimized.
To verify if this is the global minimum, you can plot the function using the ezplot function and visually inspect the graph:
main.m71 chars5 lines
If the red dot indicates the lowest point on the graph, then the minimum value found is the global minimum.
Please note that ezplot function is deprecated in MATLAB. You can use fplot instead.
main.m70 chars5 lines
Remember to run these commands in MATLAB to obtain the roots and minimum of the function f(x).
Hope that helps!
