Mathematical Functions
exp()
Calculates the exponential value (e^x).

log()
Computes the natural logarithm (base e).

log10()
Computes the common logarithm (base 10).

sqrt()
Finds the square root of a number.

abs()
Returns the absolute value of a number.
rem(x, y)
Computes the remainder after dividing x by y.

gcd(x, y)
Finds the greatest common divisor of x and y.

lcm(x, y)
Finds the least common multiple of x and y.

factorial(x)
Finds the factorial of x (i.e., x!).

primes(x)
Generates all prime numbers less than x.

round()
Rounds a number to the nearest integer.
Array Operations
x = [1 2 3 4]
Creates a row matrix/vector: x = 1 2 3 4

y = [1; 2; 3; 4]
Creates a column vector: y = 1; 2; 3; 4

a = [1 2 3 4; 2 3 4 5; 3 4 5 6]
Creates a matrix with rows and columns:
a=1234
2345
3456
b = [1:5] / b = 1:5
Equivalent to b = 1:5 (row matrix): b = 1 2 3 4 5

c = [Link]
Generates a row matrix with values starting from 1 to 5, with an increment of 2: c = 1 3 5

d = linspace(1, 10, 3)
Generates a vector with three evenly spaced values between 1 and 10: d = 1 5.5 10
*a.b
Performs element-wise multiplication between two arrays. Both arrays must have the same
dimensions.

a.^2
Performs element-wise exponentiation on the array a, squaring each element.

a'
Performs transposition on the matrix degrees, converting rows to columns:
a*b
Performs matrix multiplication. The number of columns in a must match the number of
rows in b. This will throw an error if the arrays are incompatible.
table = [degrees', radians']
Creates a matrix table where the first column is the degrees values and the second column
is the corresponding radians values:

table'
Transposes the matrix table, swapping rows with columns:
User Input Operations
The example equation is:
𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 + 15
𝑥4
The solving code will be written on script, then it should be run:
