  1. a 2 , b 0.3 for 0 x 5
  2. a 3 , b 0 for 0 x 10
  3. a 4 , b -0.3 for 0 x 15

  1. a=2; b=.3; x=[0:.1:5]; y=a+b*x;plot(x,y),title('Graph of y=a+bx'),xlabel('x'),ylabel('y'),grid
  2. a=3; b=.0; x=[0:.1:10]; y=a+b*x;plot(x,y),title('Graph of y=a+bx'),xlabel('x'),ylabel('y'),grid
  3. a=2; b=.3; x=[0:.1:5]; y=a+b*x;plot(x,y),title('Graph of y=a+bx'),xlabel('x'),ylabel('y'),grid

Plot the following functions, using increments of 0.01 and a 6 , b 0.8 , 0 x 5 :

  1. y a x b
  2. y a x b
  3. y a x

  2. a=6; b=.8; x=[0:.01:5]; y=a*x.^b;plot(x,y),title('Graph of y=ax^b'),xlabel('x'),ylabel('y'),grid 2a
  3. a=6; x=[0:.01:5]; y=a*sin(x);plot(x,y),title('Graph of y=a*sin(x)'),xlabel('x'),ylabel('y'),grid 2a

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
