We want to plot the function y = x² over the interval [1,3]. In order to do this, we need to establish an x vector (our independent variable) and a y vector (our dependent variable).

1) Given x = [1:0.05:3], write the MATLAB code to generate our y vector (Hint: refer to the original function that we are trying to plot).

2) There are many different line specifications that can be used when plotting. Using the documentation at http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/linespec.html, answer the following questions:

a) List 2 different line style specifiers, and the line style that they produce (e.g., ‘-’ is the default solid line).

b) List 2 different color style specifiers and the color they produce (e.g., ‘k’ is used to specify black).

c) List 2 different marker specifiers and the markers the produce (e.g., ‘p’ is used to specify pentagram markers)

3) Using your answers to questions 1 and 2, write the MATLAB code to plot y = x². Be sure to use some of the line specifications that you discussed for question 2.
