Chapter 2 - Exercises

1. Define and plot the following functions

f1(x) = exp( - 0.3 x 2 ) sin(x)

f2(x) = sin(x) cos(x)

f3(x) = sin(x) + cos(x)

f4(x) = sin(x) + sin(2x)

2. Plot the functions f1(x) through f4(x) simultaneously in a single graph.

3. Find by inspection the intercepts of the functions f1(x) and f2(x) in the interval x={-p,+p}

4. Define a function of 2 variables fa(x) = exp( - a x 2 ) via the Maple syntax

f := (alpha,x) -> ...

Plot f(a,x) for a =0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0 simultaneously in a single graph.
