    MATLAB Comparing Performance of Difference Methods for Estimate Derivative

    Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. Now I have another problem though, ha, for the true derivative I'm getting another error now. Dont know if I entered the wrong derivative or what I did? This is what I got: % The true derivative dyt = -exp(-x)*sin(3x) + 3exp(-x)*cos(3*x)...

    MATLAB Comparing Performance of Difference Methods for Estimate Derivative

    The problem is: Compare the performance of the forward, backward, and central difference methods for estimating the derivative of the following function: y(x)=e^-xsin(3x). Use 101 points from x = 0 to x = 4. Use a random additive error of +/- 0.01. I understand the process of solving this...

    How Do You Calculate Tension in Wires Hanging a Composite Shaped Plate?

    Hey, I'm wondering if anyone could possibly explain to me how to find the tension forces present in a problem consisting of: A composite shaped plate, being hung by two wires. First the problem asks to determine the center of gravity/centroid of the shape, then to determine the Tension forces...
