Noob question about using MATLAB

[mape]

so, i have this little problem

can anyone tell me to put this transfer function in matlab?

T(s)=(s^4 + 2s^3 -13s^2 -38 -24)/(s(s^4 + 6s^3 -5s^2 -42s + 40))

i really new to matlab

If you want to use Matlabs transfer function capabilities (step(), etc.):

>> T = tf([1,2,-13,0,-38-24],[1,6,-5,-42,14,0])

this is for a contuninuous time transfer finction like the one you showed, it is slightly different for DT.
