In Matlab Write a function file that determines the following sum (for all odd n from 1 to 11):
y=Ó 2^n/n
Do you mean
y=Σ 2^n/n for n=1,3,...11
?
If you are already familiar with the syntax of Matlab, you can use the following pseudocode:
function [S] = Sum(n)
sum=0;
for i=1:n:2
sum=sum+2^i/i;
end
S=sum;
end
The calling program has to supply i=11 to evaluate the required expression.
* n=11, or Sum(11)
function [S] = Sum(n)
sum=0;
for i=1:n:2
sum=sum+2^i/i;
end
S=sum;
end
To write a function file in MATLAB that determines the sum of the given expression (for all odd values of n from 1 to 11), you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the MATLAB software.
Step 2: Click on the "New Script" button to create a new script file.
Step 3: In the script file, define a function named "calculateSum" that takes no input arguments and returns the sum as an output.
```matlab
function y = calculateSum()
y = 0; % Initialize the sum to zero
for n = 1:2:11 % Loop through odd values of n from 1 to 11
y = y + 2^n/n; % Add the current term to the sum
end
end
```
Step 4: Save the file with a meaningful name, such as "calculateSum.m".
To use this function:
Step 1: Create a new script file or go to the command window.
Step 2: Call the "calculateSum" function, storing the result in a variable.
```matlab
sumValue = calculateSum();
disp(sumValue); % Display the result
```
When you run this script, it will calculate the sum of the expression and display the result.
