I'm pretty new in MATLAB, and I can't seem to get it to display a signal. I have the following: t=1:1:100; s= 2*sin(2*pi*.05*t)*5*sin(2*pi*2*t)+.75*randn; plot(t,s) But i keeps giving me the following error: ? Error using ==> mtimes Inner matrix dimensions must agree. Error in...

How do I use maple to plot a corresponding surface? I have f(x,y)=(2x+y etc. I need to plot for x greater than or equal to 5, y less than or equal to 2. I'm guessing I probably need to do plot3d, but how do I write the limits of x and y? when I write x=5..infinity it doesn't work. Any...

An object weighing 34.518379357 kg, free-falling at 4.2(?) m/s, travels 0.889m, before it begins decelerating when it makes contact directly on the top of a person's head. Within what I would guess would be perhaps maybe 2(?) milliseconds after deceleration commences, the first intervertebral...

Is there any way, in Mathematica, I can plot a straight line in a 3D plot environment? For example: Plot3D[{{y = 1 - x, z = y - 1}}, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}] plots two surfaces, not their intersection (which is a straight line). Thank you in advance.
