QUESTION:
Plot the function f(x) = cosx sin(2x) and its derivative, both on the same
plot, for π ≤ x ≤ π . Plot the function with a solid line, and the derivative with
a dashed line. Add a legend and label the axes.
Okay, so this is what I have so far in a script file...
x = [-pi: 0.01: pi];
y = cos(x)*sin(2*x);
yd = 2*cos(x)*cos(2*x)-sin(x)*sin(2*x);
plot (x,y,x,yd)
But then I get this error:
? Error using ==> mtimes
Inner matrix dimensions must agree.
Error in ==> p11 at 3
y = cos(x)*sin(2*x);
I'm not worried about the details, that should be easy enough. (dotted/solid lines and legends and axes labeling.) I just want to make sure I can get it to plot. Also it asks to plot for π ≤ x ≤ π, but i have a feeling it means -π ≤ x ≤ π.
It looks pretty simple, but I'm still learning this program and it's proving to be more difficult than it should be. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong with my script?
Thanks!
