hellow everyone, its my first post. In my problem i have a function f=f(x)... inned to integrate it from 0 to a ...I need to multiply f with some other function g(x) and differentiate it...i don't want to use another function file...i tried inline function command but it can't multiply with g(x) and integrate it...

I need some suggestion badly. Thanks

For symbolic integration and differentiation look into the functions 'int' and 'diff'.

To do this numerically, look into 'trapz' or 'quad' to integrate. Numerical differentiation is simply:

[tex]\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta y} = \frac{x_{i+1} - x_{i}}{y_{i+1} - y{i}}<br /> <br /> [/tex]

Any specific reasons for this ? there is a reason MATLAB asks for separate file for better integration techniques and besides it makes job easier and cleaner.

Regards.
